Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 78 Humiliated As Usual

But on the surface, everyone pretended to get along well.

"Yelena called me earlier, she's almost here!" said the old man's third son - today was his son's first month celebration.

Speak of the devil - Benedict and his family were brought to the back annexe without explanation. When he saw that the hall was filled with a large group of people, Benedict's eyes flickered but he still smiled and pulled his daughter along to greet them. Quincy and Yelena happily went to sit with the head of the Langleys, as if they had found their rightful place. Meanwhile, Calista and Benedict continued standing where they were, and it was very awkward for them.

But everyone in the house continued to smile and laugh, as if they didn't treat anyone as an outsider and was friendly with everyone.

Calista suddenly understood why the Langleys were gathered here instead of entertaining the guests outside.

"Ah, my son-in-law...have a seat!" The old man said this while smiling, but he continued sitting along the wall, and got someone to bring some chairs over. Two chairs were for Quincy and Yelena to sit beside him, while Calista and Benedict sat right in the middle of the hall, as if they were on trial.

Benedict kept a smile on as he asked, "Why is everyone here? No need to talk to the guests in front?"

The eldest daughter-in-law, Joanna, was full of smiles as she said, "There are some younger ones doing so, it's good practice for them!"

The head of the Langleys nodded, "That's right, it's only a small matter anyway. I've called you here because I have some things to talk to you about..." He patted Yelena's hand and his voice became serious.

"I hear you want to divorce Yelena?"

Even though they had covered up the scandal, the head of the Langleys definitely knew about it. But he pretended not to know anything about it, instead he looked like a caring father trying to speak up for his daughter.

Benedict's expression darkened, but he had calmed down quite a bit after his initial angry outburst when the matter happened. Besides, he was now in the Langley residence, and he had to suppress any unhappiness he had. "No...I only said that in a fit of anger."

The old man snorted. "I'm glad you understand. Which married couple doesn't quarrel? It's a bit too much to mention divorce. The Langleys have always stood united as a family, and we've never had anything as scandalous as a divorce!"
