Chapter 133- White Palace In Wife’s Name
Nina’s brows knitted into several lines when she saw a handsome man standing behind Valerie, "What are you doing here?" she then regarded her daughter-in-law from head to toe, "You are all tan. And who is this man with you?" she demanded, and Valerie could detect doubts in her condescending tone.
She raised a brow and her lips curled up unto a smirk, "Why, Nina? Do I have to inform you what I’m doing in the city where my husband lives? By the way, meet Ethan. My... lawyer."
"Lawyer? What bullshit is this? You are in your husband’s city without your husband, girl. That too with a man who you are calling a lawyer. He might be a lawyer. But you are a Liar. Ha-ha!" Nina then turned to Ethan and smiled at him, "I didn’t know that lawyers nowadays are babysitting rich family daughters-in-law."
Ethan’s face flushed and Valerie narrowed her eyes while looking at her mother-in-law, "And why are you here? For giving your unsolicited fashion advice to random people? Calling them liars? I would love to have a look at your Miserable’s collection, Nina."
She didn’t want to back off. She might be in hot waters due to the presence of Ethan. He was found with her but thankfully due to her cleverness, they had booked separate rooms.
Nina wasn’t expecting such rude responses from Valerie. She had been a very sweet and good daughter-in-law. Her eyes flashed with anger, "At least that’s my collection. I’m a career woman and not like spending any man’s hard-earned money. Just look at you."
Ethan looked around as he could see both the women were attracting attention. They both were trying to keep their voices low but still, they were failing miserably.
"Rafael is my husband, and I can spend his money the way I please, Nina. We all know how you started your OWN business..." Valerie rolled her eyes.
"Yeah," Nina smirked, "at least I don’t need to drag around a puppy for my OWN business. Who else is enjoying Rafael’s money besides you? Is it just one lawyer or the whole bar? Ha-ha!"
Good one! Ethan thought to himself with a subtle smile.
Valerie took a step closer to the older lady, "Better a puppy than a leech. Tell me, Nina. Are you here because of Rafael or that woman? Or is it your old urge to keep an eye on me?"
