Chapter 822

Isabelle looked at the old Mrs. Foster, who was wearing a dark red vintage vest. She wore mixed fabric pants and embroidered old-fashioned slippers.

She leaned on her cane, her silver hair resembling a layer of white frost, her big eyes deeply sunken and sharp with sarcasm. Her weathered face had shallow wrinkles.

Her lips drooped down, exuding an air of an old-fashioned grandmother from another era. It was easy to see that she must have been a beauty when she was young but could not withstand the ravages of time.

Despite being over eighty years old, the old Mrs. Foster remained spirited and full of vitality.

Isabelle listened to her commanding words without getting angry. When she decided to come back with Darius, she knew very well that the Foster family would not accept her like Darius did because in other people's eyes, she was indeed a woman full of flaws.

On their wedding day, someone took advantage of her innocence without realizing it herself; for five years after marriage, her husband neglected and abused her while his family mistreated her as well; then came Bethany, an illegitimate child whose origins were unknown.

She breathed out softly, but thankfully, Sylvia appeared in Isabelle's life at just the right time.

"I came here as Mr. Darius' guest," Isabelle said calmly, "not to become part of the Foster family or anything like that... I just want my daughter to meet all the Foster family members who are related by blood." "So if the Foster family doesn't welcome me," Isabelle continued firmly, "then my daughter and I will leave now."

Darius frowned when he saw how tense things were between Isabelle and the Fosters.

"Grandma," he said sternly, "Isabelle is Bethany's mother... how can you treat her this way? Not only that, she is also my chosen woman, the woman I love most! I hope the Fosters treat Isabelle with respect just as they do me."

The old Mrs. Foster's face suddenly changed upon hearing what Darius had said..."What did you say?" Her voice almost squeezed through gritted teeth filled with disbelief and shock... How could her outstanding grandson choose this abandoned woman from Middle Evroya? What makes this woman so special?"

"Darius, it's not me being nosy, but... how many socialites and heiresses in Urgford want to become the Foster family's lady? You don't even take a glance at them, why do you treasure her so much? Middle Evroya is such a barren place... you know that very well. I heard they are particularly biased towards men over women..."

Although Madam Gisselle didn't say anything explicitly or mention Isabelle by name, her disdainful tone towards Isabelle was evident.
