In Love With My Evil Stepbrother

Chapter 80

Chapter 80: Christmas Gift

“Come in,” Ms. Griswold steps aside and lets me into her presidential suite.

The room is enormously large. While I’m still carefully studying the layout of the room, Ms. Griswold already walked past me to the liquor cabinet and poured lierself a scotch. “So,” she takes her seat and crosses her legs, “Why do you need to see me?”

Her eyes are full of distant. She doesn’t even hate me. She just thinks that I’m a dirt that doesn’t deserve her time and attention.

“Well?” she urges me. “Hurry. I don’t have all day.”

So I speak, straightforwardly, “Call off their marriage now.” She pauses for a short moment, and then burst into a booming laughter. She lauglis so hard that her scotch spilled out. “Oh dear, oh dear,” she shakes her head still laughing, “Are you coming here to beg me? If you are, at least give me the proper attitude, like crying, pleading, dropping to your knees?” “I’m not liere to beg you,” my jaw tenses. Yet she carries on as if she didn’t hear me, “Your mom was really good at it you know? She begged me to give up on Shawn. She begged so hard that I almost feel sorry for her”

I stride over and snatch her glass of scotch. The next moment, I smash the glass onto the floor, causing her to jump up from her seat and scream.

“You crazy little bitch!” she yells at the top of her lung. “What are you doing!”

“Do not insult my mother,” I point a finger at her panic face. “You thought I didn’t know what happened? My mom met Mr. Ramirez after you two were divorced. She doesn’t need to beg you to give up on Mr. Ramirez, because he already left you a long time before that.”

Her face is twisted with fury and embarrassment, “You disrespectful little shit-”

“I would have poured that scotch onto your face if you weren’t Eason’s mother. Now, sit and listen to me!”

1 point at the sofa and command her. I’m a little shocked at how brave I am right now. I used to be terrified of confrontations. I tried to avoid it at all costs. Yet now, I’m bossing around Ms. Griswold. God I’m proud of myself.

Guess I’m just really mad at what she did to Eason, Anger gives me courage.

She stares at me, astonished. To my surprise, she sits down eventually under my command and snorts, “What else do you have to say? Their marriage is settled. There’s no way I’m calling it off.”

I decide to cut to the chase, “I know you are after Eason’s inheritance. Katherine’s family is carrying huge debt. Only the Ramirez’s money can get them out of their deep hole. Call off their marriage now or I’ll tell everyone about this.”

She sneers, “That’s your big reason? Wake up to the real world dear! All upper-class marriages are based on either money or title. Eason has money and Katherine has title. It’s a win-win.”

“I also know
