Chapter 934 She Had Never Been Treated Like This
Tania looked at Leia indifferently and said, "Leia Norman, right? I've heard about you. You're an actresswho used to be fairly popular."
When she heard that, Leia knew that Tania was not a fan of hers... Maybe it was because she did notlike that she was in the entertainment industry.
Leia explained herself, "I chose to enter the entertainment industry to fulfill my mother's wishes. Whenshe was young, she wanted to be a star."novelbin
Tania's gaze was sharp. She walked over and sat down on the velvet sofa laced with gold thread. Thecaretaker poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her.
She picked up the teacup and took a sip. "This needs more tea leaves."
The nanny said immediately, "I'll make you another cup."
Brody gave Leia a look, sat down, and massaged Tania's shoulders while praising Leia. "Mom,although Leia is an actress, she’s also a kind and wonderful girl. She’s not what you’d expect forsomeone who’s an actress."
Tania watched her son rant about Leia and thought to herself that Leia must have bewitched her son. Ithad not taken long for Leia to make him fall hopelessly for her.
"I have my opinion on this matter." She slammed the teacup on the coffee table.
The clank of the porcelain cup on the glass of the coffee table was not too loud, but it stabbed throughLeia's heart.
Her heart was beating violently. She dared not speak as she looked at Tania and Brody.
Julius glanced at Leia with a half-smile, then sat on the sofa. He picked up the newspaper and read it.
He had yet to chime in on the matter between Brody and Leia.
Leia saw the smile on the corner of his mouth. She was familiar with every expression on the man'sface.
She was his prey. Leia had not forgotten that Julius had specifically asked her to accompany him on abusiness trip.
Although she hired a model to attend on her behalf, she still remembered the man's keen interest in herat the time.
"Mom." Brody tried to persuade Tania further. After all, Leia's belly was getting bigger and bigger. Theirwedding could no longer be dragged on.
A child born out of wedlock was an illegitimate child. If Leia were from an ordinary family, he would befine with raising an illegitimate child.
However, Leia was the adopted daughter of the Norman family. She grew up spoiled as her adoptivefather was the Provincial Committee Secretary.
Her status and appearance matched his.
That was why Brody was doing his best to convince his parents and grandmother.
Tania raised her hand, stopped her son's chattering, and looked at Leia with a cold expression. "Youwent into the entertainment industry to fulfill your mother's dream?" "Yes." Leia nodded.
Tania was more difficult to deal with than she had anticipated.
Tania's gaze was full of disdain. "A mother who allows her daughter to enter the entertainment industryis not a good mother. Are you her cash cow?"
Leia's gaze for help fell on Brody for help. She needed him to speak up for her.
"Mom, Leia's family doesn't lack money. Her father is the Provincial Committee Secretary," Brodyexplained.
Tania had worked abroad for a long time and was not familiar with local news. She had no idea aboutLeia's previous scandals.
Julius, who was well aware, said nothing about it.
He had missed Leia.
Tania was surprised. 'The daughter of the Provincial Committee Secretary?'
Tania thought that Leia looked like the kind of actress who would seduce men for money. She neverexpected Leia to be the daughter of the Provincial Committee Secretary.
She was close to many high-ranking officials and nobles. No daughter of theirs would act like this.
Tania was annoyed.
She glanced at Julius. He was reading the newspaper without saying anything except for theoccasional grunts of dissatisfaction.
The caretaker re-brewed a pot of tea and walked over, carefully pouring two cups. One cup was placedin front of Julius, and one cup was placed in front of Tania. "Master, Madam, this is the tea. Enjoy!"
Tania picked up her cup and told the caretaker, "You don’t need to cook today. I’ve already booked aprivate room. Our family of four will head out for dinner."
A family of four... If she included Grandma Hilton, it meant that Leia was excluded.
Leia was embarrassed, and tears filled her eyes. They were about to fall at anytime. She looked like asad puppy.
Brody frowned and said, "Mom, Leia is here today to visit both of you."
Tania was annoyed by her son and put the teacup down. "What did your grandmother say about this?"
Brody was stunned. He knew it was best not to lie to his mother and said while feeling slightlyembarrassed, "Grandma has some misunderstandings about Leia. Mom, Leia is a good girl. Her firsttime was with me." "Brody..." Leia did not expect him to say that.
If it were not for Julius, she would have made up something on the spot to get away with it...
However, Julius was present...
Leia glanced at him from the corners of her eyes.
Julius was still reading the newspaper. He frowned when he heard what his son said. 'Leia's first time?'
Although he had not seen Leia in a hotel with a man, he was sure that she had done something alongthe lines.
Brody had been brought up by Grandma Hilton since he was a child. He had also learned about how tosee through someone's lies. Leia was the kind of woman who would do anything to get additionalresources and was quite experienced in seducing men.
Julius kept his mouth shut, while Tania was attacking Leia.
Tania was beyond furious as she looked at her son. Are you confused? She said it’s her first time andyou believe her? She could have easily gotten it reconstructed in the hospital. Why are you so stupid?!I have trust in your grandma's judgment. Don't even think about getting me to agree to the things shedisagrees with."
Leia was upset that her plan did not work. The women in the Hilton family were bitter and mean. Noneof the men were good either!
She continued acting pitiful, but in her heart, she could not wait to leave a few scratches on Tania'sface.
All she wanted was to marry Brody. Why could they not leave her alone?
She said nothing about how useless Brody was, so why could they not just accept her? She had neverbeen treated like this since she was a child!
Brody glanced at Leia and added, "Mom, Leia's belly-"
Leia interrupted him and bowed deeply to Tania, acting like a sad puppy as she uttered, "Uncle Juliusand Aunt Tania, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble. Brody, you can stay with your family. Don't worryabout me. I’ll head back first."
She covered her face and rushed out of Hilton Residence.
"Leia!" Brody caught up.
Leia leaped into his arms and said, "Brody, I don’t want to live anymore... I'll die with the baby!"
Brody gently held her back to comfort her. "Don't worry, Leia. This is temporary, I’ll make sure toconvince my parents. As long as they agree, my grandma won’t be a problem."
Leia cursed at the Hiltons in her heart. She thought that Brody was a granny’s boy, but now she foundout that he was also a mommy's boy. He needed his parents’ approval for everything. Even if she gavebirth to the child in her stomach, she may not be able to marry into the Hilton family.
She had to marry Brody before the child was born!
