From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables-Chapter 1555

Chapter 1555: 698 Expelled from the Family_2 Chapter 1555: 698 Expelled from the Family_2 The Hu family has established a deep base in Avalon.

Although they are not as nobly-born as the emperor, they are nonetheless leaders of their own domain.

“Sister-in-law, my health has not been great these past few years.

I can’t travel far and couldn’t visit you.

I hope you don’t blame me.”

“Your health is most important.

As long as you keep me in your thoughts, that’s enough.

Besides, managing a big family isn’t easy.”

“Sister-in-law, at our age, every meeting could be the last.”

The two elders began to feel melancholic as they spoke.

...

Catherine Liam walked in cheerfully, “Auntie, you must be tired from the journey.”

Nova Aria coldly hummed in response, completely ignoring Catherine Liam, causing her cheeks to flush red with embarrassment.

She shifted her gaze to the Dragon-Phoenix Twins, “So these are Yi An and Yi Ning.

My, how you’ve grown!

Yi Ning, you’re in high school this year, aren’t you?

How are your grades?

Your cousin used to always be in the top ten in her class.

I always say that for girls, it’s not about being too clever, but marrying into a good family is more important….”

Madam Aria’s face turned cold, and Nova Aria also looked very displeased.

The eldest daughter-in-law was always embarrassingly inept.

Jessie Hayley smiled gently, “I just completed my middle school exams and ranked first in the whole province to enter Avalon’s top high school.

Aunt, you might not know this, but this high school is ranked higher than the one my cousin graduated from in the most recent national school rankings.”

Catherine Liam looked embarrassed.

She never knew that the girl was such an excellent student.

“Really?

Then aunt congratulates you.

But though your cousin is good at studies, she’s even better at Buddhist practice.

She’s now a highly respected guest of all the monks, even Madam Martinez has special love for her.”

The girl raised an eyebrow, “I’m an atheist, but I respect my cousin’s hobby.”

Catherine Liam had a shudder at the word ‘hobby’.

How could it be a hobby?

Scarlett hesitated at the door, her face a picture of gloom.

“Scarlett, what are you doing standing here?

Come in,” a soft voice said.

Scarlett looked slightly embarrassed, but thanks to training over the past year, her acting skills had improved and no one could see the embarrassment on her face.

In the hall, Nova Aria heard Charlotte Aria eavesdropping, and a hint of contempt appeared in her eyes.

What good child could Catherine Liam raise, coming from such a lowly family?

Right after, Peter Aria and a young woman in a red dress walked in, and the entire old-fashioned hall seemed to brighten with her entry.

Jessie Hayley’s calm eyes opened wide.

She stared at the woman’s face without blinking, then quickly lowered her head when she realized she was being rude.

But she couldn’t resist stealing another glance.

With a newly wed glow on his face, Peter greeted, “Auntie.”

Fanny Parker responded with a smile, “Hello Auntie, I’m Fanny Parker, you can call me Fanny.”

Her words and demeanor were the epitome of gentleness and ease.

Combined with her lovely face, she offered a visual feast for the eyes.

Nova Aria stood up, walked over, and held Fanny Parker’s hand with a delighted expression on her face, “Good good, you’re so handsome and our Aria is so lucky to have you.

Peter, you mustn’t ever bully Fanny, otherwise, your auntie won’t let you off.”

Peter Aria smiled bitterly, “Aunt, you worry too much.”

Nova Aria took a box from the servant and gave it to Fanny Parker, “A gift to welcome you.”

The box bore a dazzling trademark that Catherine Liam recognized instantly.

It was an international top-tier jewelry brand.

Given the size of the box, it was a whole set of jewelry worth tens of millions, at least.

Catherine Liam was so envious her eyes were practically seeing red.

How could her aunt be so biased, giving away jewelry worth tens of millions without a second thought?

She has never received a present from her aunt.

On her wedding day, she only received a common gold locket, weighing merely thirty grams.

In comparison to these jewels, the locket paled in insignificance.

Catherine Liam felt a bitter resentment stirring in her heart.

She was practically staring the jewelry box down.

Fanny Parker accepted the gift without any fake decline, “Thank you, Auntie.”

Nova Aria seemed even more satisfied with her.

The delight Nova Aria had for Fanny Parker was clearly apparent in her eyes.

She didn’t spare even a glance at Charlotte Aria from beginning to end.

Charlotte Aria stiffly greeted, “Charlotte pays respects to great auntie.”

Nova Aria responded faintly, not even giving Charlotte Aria a look.

Instead, she took Fanny Parker’s hand and asked warmly, “Have you thought about where to go for your honeymoon?

Why not come to Avalon?

There are lots of fun places here….”

Charlotte Aria took a deep breath, her eyes shadowed, and her eyelashes lightly lowered to cover the gloom within.

Sensing a gaze, Charlotte Aria reflexively turned her head, directly meeting Jessie Hayley’s eyes.
