Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

“Yes, Lady Joshua,” Helen answered with a smile. “I’m so glad to be able to meet you here. I actually came here to check out the clothes with my cousin, but I heard what you said about Ms. Vivian. I was just wondering if I could interview you and Ms. Vivian.”

Emily glanced at the disgruntled Margaret before turning back to Helen with a solemn expression.

“Sure, but we might have to do this another time. I’m also here to look at the clothes, and I don’t have time to spare today.”

Nevertheless, Helen was satisfied with her response. “That’s great, Lady Joshua. I’ll make an appointment with you as soon as possible.”

Winnie was dumbfounded by the turn of events.

She never expected Emily to have such a reckless side.

“Grandma, Helen is not an ordinary journalist. She once exposed a scandal of the royal family. Because of that, the royal family’s international reputation plummeted back then. You can’t make such a decision so hastily,” she whispered in Emily’s ear.

“Winnie”—Emily looked at Winnie calmly. It didn’t seem that she had agreed to the interview out of impulse—“I know of Helen’s accomplishments, and I’ve also heard of her name. However, I didn’t know that your modesty would bring you such humiliation. Not only does this affect you, but it’s also a disgrace to the entire Speiser family. I’m sure Ms. Margaret is not the first person to treat you like this. If I just sit back and watch, I’m sure she won’t be the last one either. You didn’t escape from that horrible couple from Chanaea and return to the Speiser family to receive this kind of treatment. I have to stand up for you.”

“But Grandma—” The truth was, Winnie had tons of ways to get back at Margaret. They would not be as conspicuous, and they wouldn’t affect the Speiser family’s reputation either.

Before Winnie could say anything more, the staff members hurried over to them.

They had run over after hearing that there was a conflict in the showroom.

“Lady Joshua, Ms. Margaret, how can we help you?”

“This is none of your business. It’s a private matter between me and Ms. Margaret, so we don’t need any help for now,” Emily told the two staff members with a serious expression.

Since she had put it that way, the staff members had no choice but to stay quiet.

Meanwhile, Margaret felt somehow apprehensive. She looked at Emily nervously and questioned, “What else do you want to do? Haven’t you finished what you wanted to say?”

“Yes,” said Emily indifferently, “I’ve finished what I wanted to say, but you still owe Vivian an apology. You humiliated her, so you must take responsibility for your behavior and apologize.”

“Why should I?” Margaret was unwilling to back down. “Just a moment ago, no one knew whether she was really related to the Speiser family by blood. I didn’t spread any false rumors. I was merely telling the truth! Am I not allowed to do that? No matter what, I will not apologize today since there is no need to! I don’t think I said anything inappropriate. Lady Joshua, I won’t apologize even though you’re the one who asked me to do it!”

“Ms. Margaret!”

“Grandma…” Winnie could not bear to make an elder get all riled up for her sake, and neither could she tolerate a young woman yelling at her grandmother.

Winnie stared at Margaret coldly with her intimidating dark eyes. “Margaret Grayson, listen up. First of all, you weren’t telling the truth. You were clearly spreading rumors. Just because you didn’t know my blood relation to the Speiser family doesn’t mean you could slander them. Who are you to say that I’m the hidden adopted daughter of the Speiser family? You think they mistreated me? Moreover, you kept repeating that statement loudly in public. Isn’t that considered slander?”
