Chapter 125: You Really Take Her Words as Holy Commandments
Victoria directly took over Rebecca’s words, not caring if her own mother was upset. She looked at her mother and said:
“Mom, what are you thinking? That Jennifer is not related to our family. Who goes to someone else’s house on Christmas Eve? If she has some self–respect, she will not run to someone else’s house to eat Christmas Eve dinner on Christmas Eve, right?”
“Vic…”
“Mom, I have always found it kind of strange. Why do I think you like her more than you like me as your own daughter? If it wasn’t for your desire to match her and my brother, I would not doubt if she was your biological daughter.”
Victoria wanted to be straightforward, but also because of Mae’s relationship, she had argued with Rebecca many times. Their relationship as mother and daughter was not very good in those years.
In addition, she had always been cynical in nature, but also cannot see Jennifer’s ambitions written all over her face. She also knew that Jennifer was a mistress, but naturally, she won’t speak too euphemistically.
This time, Rebecca got angry at her.
“Vic, what are you talking about? Can’t you see? Jennifer is much better behaved than my own daughter. You’re my own daughter and I have never seen any daughter who fights against her own mother all day long!
Rebecca’s voice rose a few notches, making Victoria’s face flush with anger.
“Yes, you want her to be your daughter–in–law. You tried every means possible to get rid of my sister–in–law and bring an ambitious woman to this family. I have not seen a mother bring a mistress to destroy the marriage of her son and her daughter–in–law. Unfortunately, all you did was useless. My big brother just doesn’t like Jennifer, that shameless good!”
“You… shut up!”
Rebecca’s face darkened and even raised her hand to slap Victoria’s face, but was stopped by an old but powerful voice, “Stop.”
Rebecca was stunned, raising her eyes to meet the old man’s cold and stern gaze. She was so scared that she unconsciously withdrew her hand, also realizing that her reaction just now was too
much.
“Rebecca, I don’t care who this Jennifer is, but I am curious as to how you can act against your own daughter for an outsider?”
Although Old Mr. Smith wouldn’t just interfere in his son and daughter–in–law’s affairs, especially since his son had passed away many years ago, he was even less likely to interfere in his daughter–in–law’s idle affairs.
But at that moment, even if he hadn’t seen the girl named Jennifer, seeing his daughter–in–law beat up his own granddaughter for an outsider with his own eyes, his heart had already grown visibly dissatisfied with that Jennifer.
Rebecca met the old man’s scrutinizing and dissatisfied gaze and unconsciously avoided his eyes.

She dropped her eyes and flickered her eyelids twice in embarrassment before she stiffened and explained:
“Dad, I just think that Victoria talking like that is too rude. I’m her mother. Shouldn’t I educate her?”
Victoria sniffed and laughed sarcastically while looking at her mother with obvious disappointment.
She had grown up feeling that this mother of hers wasn’t close to any of the three siblings, and after her second brother’s accident with their father, the Smith family faced a crisis. Her elder brother dragged his serious injuries to take over Smith Corporation.
During that time, she knew best how difficult it was for them, but as a mother, she not only did not care about her brother’s health. She also focused on calculating how much of the family’s wealth she would share as the wife of Albert Smith, the chairman of the board, once the Smith Corporation’s
bankruptcy was over.
It was not easy for the Smith Corporation to be stabilized by her big brother, so she stopped thinking about dividing the family’s wealth.
But she did not know where that woman Jennifer came from, let her focus on her to pave the way for her, and even tried every means to destroy her son’s marriage, but also let a third party come in and enter the picture.
Now, she even tried to beat her with her hands.
The old master lightly hummed, “If that Jennifer really knows that someone has a wife and still has twisted thoughts, she is really not a good person.”
“Father…”
Rebecca’s face changed slightly. She dared to hit her own daughter, but she did not dare to be angry with the old man. The Check family still had to rely on the Smith family.
“Dad, do not blindly listen to Victoria. I’m good with Jennifer because this child is really good in my eyes. Jennifer also never had any twisted thoughts, otherwise… she would not be able to make other friends, right? Besides, she is still pregnant with her late boyfriend’s child…”
Saying this, she looked at Mark, who was frowning on the side and did not seem to be in the middle of the situation, and said:
“Mark knows that too.”
Mark did not seem to be involved in this topic at all, his thoughts had drifted away at some point.
“Mark.”
Rebecca saw that her son was ignoring her, adding a few more points to the fire that was already in
her heart.
He came to his senses, his undulating eyes looking at Rebecca. “What is it?”
Rebecca was furious. She felt that her son and daughter did not take her seriously. After all, she had just said, they did not take her words to heart at all and just treated her like a clown performing here.
She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and repeated:
“I said I want Jennifer to come to our house for Christmas Eve. Her parents are away and she’s the only one in Sofitel City, and there’s no shortage of chopsticks in our house, I want…”
“No way.”
Mark flatly refused an undeniable tone that left no room for discussion.
Rebecca’s expression stiffened. The dissatisfaction and anger in her eyes were immediately overflowing. “Why? She’s a girl alone in Sofitel City. What’s wrong with letting her come to our house for Christmas Eve dinner?”
When Rebecca saw that the expression on Mark’s face did not loosen a bit, she gritted her teeth. She softened her tone and said:
“Even if it’s not for Jennifer, think of the father of the child in her womb. If he did not die, Jennifer wouldn’t have to spend Christmas Eve alone. Can you bear to let them both spend the evening alone?”
As expected, Mark’s originally stern expression softened a bit when he heard Rebecca mention the baby’s father, but he didn’t change his mind.
“When I say no, I mean no.”
Mark got up from the sofa, “Mae said she wasn’t allowed to go anywhere except to lie in bed and recuperate.”
As soon as she heard her son mention that little bitch Mae, Rebecca became furious and immediately got up from the sofa and said:
“Mae, Mae. She’s not a miracle doctor, so how can we trust what she says? She’s just a showgirl. Do you really take her words as holy orders? Who knows if she has an ulterior motive or if she’s out to get Jennifer?
Mark’s face, which was already a little impatient, now took on a more bitter color.
“Mom, I’ll say it again. Mae was the one who begged me to take care and protect Jennifer from a miscarriage. If Jennifer had been honest in taking care of the baby in her belly, there wouldn’t be an accident, and I wouldn’t have been forced into a divorce by Mae with this condition.”
Mark’s eyes erupted with an unbearable cold aura, and he got up from the sofa.
