Chapter 515
Chapter 515
Since Amy was currently under Madeline’s care, she needed to inform her before going out.
She took a few deep breaths and waited until her emotions had completely stabilized. Only then did she dial Madeline's number. "Maddie, I have something to take care of right now, so I need to go out."
"Shall I accompany you?" Madeline offered, "I was also thinking of going out to buy some snacks the kids like to eat." Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Amy hesitated for a moment. "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"
"Of course not." Madeline chuckled. "Since I’ve accepted your brother’s request, you’re my responsibility now. You just need to accept my care obediently, and that won't cause me any trouble."
"Is that so?" Amy felt relieved. "Then, I'll appreciate your help, Maddie."
Actually, she didn't want to meet Noah's mother alone.
She couldn't quite pinpoint the reason, but in any case, she simply didn't want to go alone.
Perhaps... it was because she had such a strong dislike for that woman?
Although Amy hadn't met Noah's mother yet, she could already hear a strong sense of disdain and contempt in her voice from their phone conversation just now.
Even before meeting Noah's mother in person, she could already feel Anika was a woman full of superiority, as though she saw herself like a queen and Amy as nothing more than garbage.
How ridiculous.
What right did she have to act so superior?
If Amy still loved Noah and wanted to marry him, she might have to swallow her pride and please that woman.
However, now that she had decided to break up with Noah, regardless of how rich and powerful the Ellis Family was, what did it have to do with her?
On what basis did Noah's mother have to look down on her?
In this world, there were indeed some nouveau riche who believed that the little money they had made them superior to others, and they could look down on everyone else.
Amy had every reason to suspect that Noah's mother was exactly that kind of person!
It was just a phone call from Noah’s mother, but Amy was already deeply convinced that her decision to break up with Noah was right.
Otherwise, if she did marry him in the future, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship would just torment her to death.
With that in mind, Amy quickly freshened up, put on makeup, and changed her clothes. By the time she was ready, Madeline had also arrived.
The two of them went out together and arrived at the location specified by Noah's mother.
They reserved a private room and waited for over half an hour until Noah’s mother, Anika Levine, finally arrived.
Anika appeared remarkably youthful. If one were to judge solely on her face and figure, she could easily pass for being in her early forties.
She wore delicate makeup on her face and dressed in a professional suit. Her meticulously styled curly hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she walked in high heels measuring six or seven centimeters. With her back held straight and chin slightly raised, she exuded an air of superiority akin to a queen.
Anika took a seat across from Madeline and Amy. With a cold glance at Madeline, she reprimanded Amy with disapproval, "I wanted to see you, but why did you bring someone else along?"
"Maddie is my friend. I injured my ankle and can't go out by myself, so I specially asked her to accompany me," Amy explained. "I’ve already informed you that my ankle is injured and it's inconvenient for me to go out. It was because you insisted on meeting me that I had no choice but to ask my friend to come with me."
"What kind of attitude is this?" Anika stared at her coldly and said, "I am Noah's mother and your elder. Yet, you show no respect for me at all. With your upbringing, you dare to even dream of marrying into our Ellis Family! You’re truly overestimating yourself!"
Amy sneered icily and was about to tell her that she had already broken up with Noah. However, Anika interrupted her, saying, "I came here today to tell you that you should stop your foolish fantasies about
marrying Noah. Our Ellis Family won’t accept a daughter-in-law with a lowly background and lack of manners like you. You better leave Noah immediately, or I will make you regret it!"
Amy was momentarily stunned, then couldn't help but laugh out of sheer exasperation.
In novels, there were instances where the evil mother-in-law forced the future daughter-in-law to leave her son, but they often handed over a check. However, Noah's mother was making an empathy threat for her and Noah to break up with just a few words without even bothering to bring a check. How much she must have looked down on her!
Fortunately, she had already decided to break up with Noah. Otherwise, how heartbroken and humiliated could she be feeling right now?
"Mrs. Ellis, do you know? You are just as complacent as Noah." Amy sarcastically looked at Anika and added, "Before coming to see you, I had already made it clear to Noah that I wanted to break up!"
She pushed the box she had brought before Anika and continued, "These are the gifts Noah gave me in the past. Since I no longer wish to see him, please return these items to him."
"You broke up with my son?" Anika looked at her suspiciously and questioned, "What kind of trick are you playing?"
She didn't believe that Amy would dump her son.
Her son was outstanding — tall, handsome, and exceptionally talented. He was a genius in his own right.
Her son single-handedly brought the nearly bankrupt Ellis Family back on track. Countless business magnates in the industry envied her and her husband for having such a great son. They saw him as a worthy successor to the Ellis legacy.
Anika took a seat across from Madeline and Amy. With a cold glance at Madeline, she reprimanded Amy with disapproval, "I wanted to see you, but why did you bring someone else along?"
If it weren't for her son's exceptional abilities, their Ellis Family would have gone bankrupt long ago.
Her son was the greatest pride of her entire life.
Her son was so outstanding that she had always assumed he would marry a daughter from a prestigious family, forging a powerful alliance between the two families and propelling the Ellis Family to new heights.
Given her son's qualities, even the daughters of the most renowned families in Dusktown would be worthy matches with him.
However, she could have never expected that her son would choose a low-ranking employee from his company to be his girlfriend.
Initially, she thought her son was just playing around, so she didn't take it seriously.
After all, how many men were not greedy for beautiful women, right?
That employee in her son's company, Amy, despite her poor background, was as beautiful as a painting — a woman who would stand out even in the entertainment industry.
Her son was in his prime, full of vigor and strength, so it was normal for him to have a few pretty young girls around him.
It would be fine if he could end these flirty relationships when he eventually found a serious partner.
After all, her son was a man. Men took advantage of the girls in a relationship. So, she had no intention of interfering as long as her son was happy.
However, she didn't expect that her son wasn't just playing around this time; he was serious.
His ex-girlfriend had returned from abroad.
She came from a wealthy family, and upon her return, she showed interest in him, wanting to reconcile with him and rekindle their relationship.
Anika thought it was a good match and advised her son to reconcile with his ex-girlfriend.
To her disbelief, her son refused.
He even declared that he sincerely loved Amy and intended to marry her.
Anika was almost driven to madness.
How could a family like their stature, the Ellis Family, marry someone like Amy, a poor girl?
Their family almost went bankrupt in the past because her family's company also had issues with the
business with no one to support them.
With her son's excellent conditions, he should obviously marry a daughter from a prestigious family to form a strong alliance!
In case their family's company encountered difficulties again in the future, in-laws would be the sturdiest and most sincere support, who were capable of helping the family through any hardships.
What did Amy have?
Apart from a face that could seduce men, she had nothing else.
Did she seriously think she could marry into their family just because of her good looks?
Dream on!
