Chapter 510
The steward did not say anything looking at Mrs. Hawk who was in a rage.
He knew why Mrs. Hawk was so mad.
Those furniture were bought by Mrs. Hawk herself for Lucas. Every piece of them were picked by her carefully.
Mrs. Hawk was still angry standing there," These furniture are still good. Does she know how much would it cost to change all of them? Does she think the money of the Hawk family is brought by wind? Just ignore that she can't help Lucas at all. But she can't make trouble to Lucas all day. Such a wastrel!"
The steward lowered his head and just listened Mrs. Hawk abusing Nora.
After quite a while, Mrs. Hawk abused enough and took a deep breath. She asked," Where is Nora? Ask her to see me here!"
"Young mistress is in the garden with Mr. Davis.""
The steward reported faithfully.
Mrs. Hawk snorted. She did not put John Davis in her eyes," Call her here right now. I'd like to ask why she want to change these furniture without any reason." As you wish, madam."Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
"
The steward got the order from Mrs. Hawk then he called a servant to go to ask Nora here.
In the garden, Nora frowned when she knew that Mrs. Hawk was looking for her.
"What she wants from me?"
"Mrs. Hawk did not tell about that. Young mistress, please be quick. Mrs. Hawk was in a rage outside the new house."
The servant did not know what happened. She just told what she knew.
"Why Mrs. Hawk was in a rage?"
John frowned and looked at the servant.
"Who knows what's wrong with that old woman. Maybe... It's some problem left by that junk."
Nora was unhappy and she squinted her eyes," Go to tell Mrs. Hawk. I have a guest here now and I have no time to be there."
She did not want to clear up the mess for Evelyn. She was planning to ask Lucas to deal with Mrs. Hawk later when he came back.
"But..."
The servant was embarrassed. But she did not say anything else since she saw Nora was not moving at all and her face was not kind. Then she went to report. "Say that again. What did Nora say?"
In the garden, Mrs. Hawk felt that it was unbelievable when she heard what the servant said and she asked again.
"The young mistress said that she has a guest with her and has no time to be here.:
"How dare her! Is she ignoring me since Lucas is supporting her?"
The anger of Mrs. Hawk was rising. Her face turned atrocious," Where is Nora now! Take me there!"
The servant was frightened by furious Mrs. Hawk. Even her body trembled when she heard that. Then she led the way for Mrs. Hawk with her hands shaking. "Nora!!"
Mrs. Hawk arrived at the pavilion in the garden less than 3 minutes and broke the quiet with a yell.
Nora was talking to John and she was grouchy since she was suddenly interrupted.
"Is she done yet!?"
She looked at Mrs. Hawk with a gloomy face.
John's was unhappy, too since Mrs. Hawk was obviously not coming to greet him.
"Is Mrs. Hawk unsatisfied with my Nora or does my Nora offend you somehow, Mrs. Hawk? What make you so angry and come here to denounce her?"
Mrs. Hawk sneered when she saw the father and the daughter were standing on the same line," What she does? Don't you know that clearly? Or maybe your Nora is told by your family education to disrespect to the elders!" She sneered with sharp words and tone. John's face was suddenly covered by haze.
"Mrs. Hawk, I don't agree with your words. You picking on Nora here first."
John was protecting Nora. He knew that this old woman bullied Evelyn a lot when that junk was here.
He did not care before since Evelyn was not the daughter that he regarded as important.
But Nora was different. She was the most precious treasure of him. He was not reluctant to say anything hard to her himself. How could he just let others bully her?
Mrs. Hawk nearly laughed when she heard John's chicanery," I'm picking on her? Why don't you ask what your beloved daughter did?"
"What I did?" Nora frowned and looked at Mrs. Hawk impatiently.
"Don't you know what you did? How dare you to change the furniture I picked for Lucas? And why you resist to come to see me with all kinds of excuses? Such a respectable daughter in law that deserve her mother in law to go to see her by herself!" Nora thought that Mrs. Hawk was angry because of the mess left by Evelyn. But she found that the problem was not about Evelyn at all.
She raised her jaw arrogantly and said with a cold voice," I'm the wife of Lucas. Why I can't change the furniture in my house? Or, in fact, you are not willing to change them because of money? Or, you are just picking on me on purpose?"
Mrs. Hawk was stunned for a second. She was surprised by the cold and overbearing feeling from Nora.
This Nora was familiar and strange to her and that made her doubting in her mind.
The Nora that she used to pick on would never dare to fight her with that kind of imposing manner. She would at most argue on basis of reason.
But this Nora in front of her reminded her the time when Lucas was not back yet, and Nora was just married and got into the Hawk family. That Nora was just like the Nora now.
As she thought, Mrs. Hawk squinted her eyes and measured Nora by her eyes.
Nora perceived Mrs. Hawk's eyes on her but she did not care about that. She crossed her arm in front of her chest and said with a cold voice," I will ask Lucas to pay by his private account if you care about the money. It will not cost the money of the family. Is that good for you?"
Mrs. Hawk collected herself and rebuked," Lucas is paying even though he pays by his private account. Do you think his money is brought by wind, too? How did I agree with father to let Lucas marry such a wastrel? It's fine you can't help Lucas. But you always make troubles to Lucas and you are also an iron hen that can't lay eggs!"
Nora's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.
"Old woman, what did you say?"
Nora squinted her eyes when John was not getting to say anything.
Mrs. Hawk was suddenly frightened by Nora's appearance, but she still rebuked," What wrong about my words? Besides, who's old woman? Where's your courtesy?"
Nora sneered," Courtesy? I will only be polite to human. Besides, I'd like to make it clear that I have nothing to do with that I can't get pregnant. You should know that how could the Hawk family have any offspring with a vicious woman like you here in the family? Or, don't you know what you did before? Do I have to tell everyone what you put in my soup at that time?" Mrs. Hawk was totally stunned. She opened her eyes widely and looked at Nora with a panic," You, you know that?"
Nora sneered," Not only know that, I also got evidence here. How about I go to show the evidence to the elder Mr. Hawk now to see what's his opinion?"
