Chapter 96: Mrs. Casey’s Wrath
Once again, the network news blew up.
The matter was roughly like this, at ten o’clock in the morning of this day, the president of the Charlie Group, York Charlie, released a statement, officially announcing that he broke off his engagement with the Miller Group’s daughter, Shireen Miller, and instead set up a marriage with his current girlfriend, the once popular model, Blanche Capra.
As soon as this statement came out, all sorts of questions and speculations came pouring in, and its heat level climbed to the peak at an incredible speed on the day it was announced, occupying the headlines of all the major news websites.
It was an instant sensation.
Shireen Miller had been in a much better mood since her engagement to York Charlie, and even on the days when things had gone wrong with the Charlie family and OLD LADY Elsa had been hospitalised until her death, she had been on holiday abroad and hadn’t had time to visit OLD LADY Elsa for a second. On this day, she just rushed back to her country because she was told the news of old lady Elsa’s death, but almost just stepped off the plane when she was hit by this sudden news.
Shireen Miller flicked through her mobile phone while dragging her suitcase, and the very next moment the news popped up, she hit the hard marble pillars in the lobby with her eyes wide open.
Then, before the pain and dizziness could set in, the building that had been so painstakingly built up inside of her collapsed, almost to the point of rubble and dust: all the joy and longing of the past few days was finally in tatters and pieces, and Shireen Miller’s eyes burst into flames.
The next moment, without thinking, she rushed straight to the Charlie family.
Mrs Casey was leaning back on the sofa, her eyes staring straight ahead, her hands clenched so tightly that her knuckles were white with exertion, her face clenched, her teeth clenched, and she was about to smash the TV in the face of news report after news report, as if she couldn’t help it.
Just as Mrs. Casey decided to make a phone call to York Charlie to vent her anger, Shireen Miller couldn’t wait for her mother’s announcement and barged right in.
The moment Mrs. Casey saw her, she changed her mind almost immediately: instead of lashing out impulsively, she was going to make York Charlie realise that he couldn’t disobey her as a mother!
“Auntie!” Shireen Miller suppressed her mental overload of anger, and instead, aggrieved and sad, with that little bit of anger at York Charlie on top of it, flung herself into Mrs. Casey’s arms, “Why is this happening?… Why is York he doing this to me? Oooooo… I’m his fiancée in name only.”
The anger in Mrs. Casey’s heart was no less than Shireen Miller’s, but at this time she could only try her best to suppress it, and turned to bitterly comfort the future daughter-in-law in front of her, who she had personally chosen, Mrs. Casey patted her on the back and comforted her, saying, “Shireen, you’re right, you’re his rightful fiancée, you’re his rightful fiancée, you’re his rightful fiancée, you’re his rightful fiancée, and you’re the one I’ve personally chosen. Shireen Miller said, “Shireen, you’re right, you’re his rightful fiancée, you’re the one I’ve been looking out for, how can I allow someone else to take her place so easily, York was tricked by Blanche Capra, that vixen, how many men can resist a woman like that?”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Shireen Miller wiped tears from her eyes and said, “I knew it! I knew it was that Blanche Capra compelled York, but what can I do,” said she more and more crying more aggrieved, “I can only … watch York for that Blanche Capra abandonment of I, even … even,” she wiped her eyes and stole a glance at Mrs. Casey to observe her reaction, “for that Blanche Capra, thrice disobeyed you as a mother, breaking your heart ah. ”
Hearing her say that, Mrs. Casey’s suppressed anger leaked out more than a little, she sneered and looked in an unknown direction, “He shouldn’t even think about it! I’m his own mother, how can he decide on such a life-long matter?” She looked at Shireen Miller again, her face was a mixture of unwilling determination and irritated majesty, “Don’t worry, you were handpicked by me, the future mistress of THE Charlie family, my words are now the directives of THE Charlie family, and things in the house cannot pass without my permission! of the Charlie family without my permission!”
Shireen Miller saw this kind of Mrs. Casey, her heart first shivered, because she somehow thought of old lady Elsa. old lady Elsa is dead now, so Mrs. Casey can really be like what she said herself, will York Charlie really obey her arrangement like that? Shireen Miller was a little uncertain.
However, seeing Mrs. Casey’s confidence, she thought it was possible! After all, Mrs. Casey was York Charlie’s own mother, so could he be an unfilial son? Shireen Miller then felt how powerful Mrs. Casey’s support for her was, and as long as Mrs. Casey was adamant in her request to be York Charlie’s wife, then perhaps, sooner or later, it would become a reality!
Shireen Miller looked to Mrs. Casey, who removed from her wrist an antique-looking, peacock-engraved lapis lazuli bracelet, and slipped it over Shireen Miller’s hand.
Shireen Miller’s heart fluttered and her eyes blazed as she looked at the saintly, proud and unrivalled peacock on the bracelet, “This, this is …”
Mrs. Casey smiled faintly, “This is an heirloom bracelet that our THE Charlie family only passes down to their daughters-in-law, and from today onwards, it’s yours.”
Shireen Miller showed incredible elation, her heart still beating wildly. She couldn’t help but touch the bracelet, as if the unattainable, the thing she had dreamed of, was finally in her hands.
After Shireen Miller’s joyous departure, Mrs. Casey’s face sank. She couldn’t sit still any longer and went to the Charlie GroupYork Charlie’s president’s office to find him.
York Charlie was staring at the computer, typing fast, Mrs. Casey was invited in, sat on the sofa and drank coffee, and did not see him look at herself for a while.
Mrs. Casey saw him so to his own attitude is even more angry, this anger rises can not be held back, not to mention this is their own son, Mrs. Casey feel that they do not have to endure. So she stood directly in front of York Charlie’s desk and said angrily, “Do you still put me as your own mother in your eyes or not?!”
York Charlie’s line of sight still did not move, and his mouth said faintly, “As you can see, I’m too busy to do anything.”
Mrs. Casey sneered, “You’re busy? Then you still have time to flirt with that Blanche Capra, it’s all over town! You’re really good at it! Straight away you’ve ruined the engagement I made for you, and re-married that woman!”
Mrs. Casey slapped the tabletop several times with unimaginative force.
York Charlie, however, was still unperturbed, his eyes still not looking at her, “Mum, you’re wrong, I’m busy with my own affairs and company matters every day, that’s why I said I’m busy, you can also be busy with your own affairs, you really don’t need to worry about my affairs.”
Mrs Casey was furious by his words, but it was not good to be angry in the company, so she could only say to York Charlie through gritted teeth, “I tell you, I’m your own mother, I have to be in charge of your affairs! If you don’t want to piss me off, cut off all contact with Blanche Capra immediately!”
York Charlie remained blind and deaf to her anger and threats.
“York Charlie!” said Mrs. Casey, in a sort of rage, “you’ll be ungrateful if you go on like this! You’re pissing me off, and when I get to the ground, see what I’m going to tell your grandmother and your father!”
York Charlie finally cast a look towards Mrs. Casey, but it was cold to the core, as if it was going to shoot out ice prongs, “Mum, you’d better think about it before you speak, who did the wrong thing, and who doesn’t have a way to answer for it?!”
