Chapter 15 Changing to Call Her Mom_1
Let Adele Horne revel in her self-righteous happiness for a few days; it’s always better to bring someone down slowly.
That was Julia Bluen’s thought, though a chill also ran through her. They say wealthy families are warm on the outside but cold on the inside. Women who marry into such families don’t lead lives as noble as they appear on the surface; endless internal strife is inevitable. Wasn’t there an old saying? "Marrying into wealth is like diving into an ocean’s depths." She herself was born into a wealthy family and knew this all too well. The Horne Family wasn’t just wealthy; they were also aristocratic, a family that combined power and riches. From Adele Horne’s appearance alone, Julia could already foresee how "interesting" her life with the Horne Family would become.
"Orlando Evans, let’s go," Adele Horne said after issuing her warning. Seeing Julia looking suitably chastened again, Adele left the Bluen residence with Orlando Evans, triumphant.
Before leaving, Orlando Evans threw a victorious glance at Julia. Orlando probably still held a grudge because Julia had thwarted her attempt to seduce Glades Horne.
Laugh now, laugh; in a few days, I’ll give you a real bomb to taste!
For Julia Bluen is no pushover!
She snickered softly as she drove her car into her family’s driveway, too unconcerned to dwell on Adele Horne’s warning. Her main worry now was how to explain to her parents that she and Glades Horne were married.
How quickly fortunes change, beyond anyone’s control, indeed.
Just the day before yesterday, she had been jilted. Today, she found herself married to another man—her former prospective brother-in-law, no less.
