Chapter 49: To Earn Back the Lost Dignity
"Mom, who is it?" Catherine asked.
"Louise, " Jane replied. Her eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness.
Louise Allen, her cousin!
By marrying a good husband, Louise usually liked to ridicule her for pleasure.
In recent years, because of Maria’s treatment, their family became poor.
Louise and others had intensified their efforts. When they got together during the holidays, they would inevitably catch her with all kinds of insults and coldness.
Every time Jane went back to her mother's family to attend any banquet, be it a wedding banquet, birthday banquet, annual meeting or something like that, it was like going back to attend a criticism conference. It always weighed heavily on her mind.
"My lovely sister, remember to come back," Louise laughed.
"I know! I will go then!" Jane replied gnashing her teeth.
"By the way, I heard that your coward son-in-law is back? Bring him over and let the elders have a look!"
Louise also seemed to have heard about Richard. Her words were full of schadenfreude and she laughed, "I hear that your son-in-law is still a powerful director and his acting is very good. We must see it!"
Bam!
Jane hung up the phone and smashed her cell phone directly on the table. Her face was so gloomy that it could almost drip water.
She gouged out Richard and felt that this year's annual meeting would be more difficult than those in the past.
Bad news spread like wild fire.
Even her husband's family knew about Richard's searching for someone to act and mocked her. It was really a disgrace. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Catherine was worried and hesitated, "Mom, should we go?"
Richard asked, "Why not? Isn't it a good thing to have family gatherings?"
Catherine glanced at Richard. "It's none of your business. Don't worry about it."
She didn't have the heart to say the bad things, which would make Richard felt uncomfortable.
She had suffered for many years and lived in the ridicule of everyone. She didn't want her husband to be ridiculed and laughed at.
Maria cleverly held Richard's hand and said, "Dad, Maria doesn't want to go either!"
"Every time we go there, Mom and Jane will cry. Those people are bad people, very bad."
Richard's face suddenly sank.
Catherine and Jane were being mistreated by their family?
His anger was boiling in his heart. He couldn't wait to fly to the Allen’s family house to dismember the snobbish villains into ten thousand pieces.
He clenched his fist. "Why not go? This time we will not only go, but also earn back the lost dignity!"
"This time, we must be able to shut them all up."
Jane sneered. She looked at Richard with a face of disgust and angrily said, "What can I earn back? If you were at home these years, would it be so difficult for us?"
Catherine also comforted Richard. "Richard, you don't know how ugly my mother's family is. Besides, we still owe Kurt so much money. Where can we find the spare money to decorate the facade?"
Eddy also seemed to be afraid of the Allen family. He said, "I don't think I'll go. It's better to take Maria to some amusement park."
Maria, who was clever and sensible, hurriedly grabbed Richard’s hand after seeing her dad’s embarrassment. "Dad, I want to go to the amusement park tomorrow. I don’t want to go to Grandma's house!"
Looking at Catherine, Jane and others who were wronged and determined to avoid people's sharpness, Richard felt even more guilty.
In the past five years, he had been away from home. He didn't know how much coldness and ridicule his wife and parents-in-law have had to suffer. It made them afraid and weak.
His heart ached at the thought of this.
Jane and Eddy had worked hard for Catherine and Maria for so many years, which was extremely difficult.
He had been away from home for years, and Jane and Eddy handled all miscellaneous things.
Therefore, Richard had more respect for them. He wanted to thank them and make up for his debts.
Therefore, he paid special interest about going to the Allen’s house for a party. "They have called, and it is not appropriate not to go."
"Dad, Mom, Catherine, please listen to me. When we go this time, we must make them sit up and take notice!"
