Francesca stood rooted to the spot and racked her brains on how to appease Floretta when a cold and strict female voice suddenly rang out.

“Let her go.”

Francesca turned to look at the door when she heard that.

Only then did she realize Valerie had silently walked over with Olivine’s support.

Frightened by Valerie’s powerful aura, Francesca stammered, “O-Old Mrs. Golding, what brings you here?”

She had not received any news of Valerie coming over to the residence.

Valerie scoffed coldly, and her expression darkened. “If I didn’t come, I would have missed out on such a good show.”

Her gaze fell on Floretta. She did nothing to hide her disdain as she uttered sternly, “This is my first time seeing such an unreasonable kid. It is obvious she doesn’t have a mother. What an uncultured brat!”

Floretta was frightened by her and immediately stopped crying. She hastily climbed down from the couch and hid behind Francesca.

Olivine scoffed inwardly upon witnessing that scene. However, she concealed her disdain and carefully supported Valerie’s elbow before comforting the latter softly, “Old Mrs. Golding, please don’t get upset. Floretta is only a child and doesn’t know any better. She must have wanted Angeline to be her mother after learning she is a celebrity.”

Valerie furrowed her brows, her expression grim as she bellowed angrily, “What mother? I will never accept an unknown, obscure celebrity into the Golding family as my granddaughter-in-law!”

Floretta was dumbfounded and heartbroken when she heard the determination in Valerie’s tone.

“Your words don’t count.”

Floretta could no longer stand Valerie degrading Angeline. She walked out from behind Francesca with her hands on her hips and defended Angeline.

“Angel is a good person. Also, you’re not qualified to decide who Daddy is marrying. You’ve ruined your son’s happiness with the excuse of being concerned about him!”

“Wow. Who taught you to say such words? You’ve become increasingly unruly because you have been spending time with that lowly woman. You haven’t learned anything worthwhile from her.”

Valerie’s face was flushed. Then, she glanced at Francesca and ordered, “Wasn’t she demanding to get out just now? Then, let her go. I want to see where she can go!”
