The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 243 Sharp Tongue

Glen showed up late this time, deliberately making Patrick and Vera wait in the living room.

Patrick and Vera waited for about ten minutes before Glen leisurely came down from upstairs.

Smiling as he approached Patrick and Vera, he said, "Sorry, Mr. Olteran. I was handling some business in the study and neglected you. Please forgive me." Vera wasn't naive; she didn't believe everything he said. Since they were here to stir things up, she didn't hold back.

Vera smiled and said, "Mr. Tooker, if you're going to lie, at least make it convincing. Didn't you glance at us several times from the corner of the stairs just now?"

Glen felt awkward and avoided Vera's question, instead asking her, "Who are you?"

Feeling surprised, Vera said, "You don't know me? When I married Patrick, he invited all the prominent figures. Didn't he invite you?"

Glen felt very embarrassed by Vera's sharp tongue.

Vera was mocking Glen for not being among the elite.

Glen said, "He did invite me. I just have a poor memory."

Vera responded, "It's normal to forget things as you get older, Mr. Tooker. May I ask, are you eighty years old this year?"

Glen gritted his teeth. "I'm fifty-five."

Vera turned to Patrick and said, "Honey, did you notice that Mr. Tooker is in his fifties but looks like he's eighty? Isn't that strange?"

Patrick thought, 'Vera begins to pick on Glen now.'

It seemed that Randall's detention had made Vera very angry.

Glen was so flustered by Vera's words that he couldn't think straight. He was an adult and couldn't speak as freely as Vera, who had backing. However, being humiliated by Vera right after coming downstairs, he said, "Mrs. Olteran, you are truly ill-mannered."
