"That's right, I've heard that your daughter-in-law has opened a boutique, and the clothes inside are very innovative. The business has been great, and a lot of people can't even line up to buy them."
"Mrs. Archer, we have such a good relationship! Why don't you give your daughter-in-law a call, so we can pick out a couple of dresses from the store someday?"
"..."
Melissa listened to the rich wives as they complimented Penelope one after another, and her face immediately became a bit unpleasant!
In the past, she had always thought that Penelope was nothing more than an orphan from the countryside who had done many excessive things to her, even forcing her to divorce Dominic.
Now, her identity was revealed!
Surprisingly, she was the granddaughter of the world's richest man! Melissa regretted it completely! If she had known the truth, she would have treated Penelope better, and her situation today would not be so ugly.
"Mrs. Archer, why don't you say something? Is this going to work or not? If it's a success, I'll get my sisters together to go to your daughter-in-law's business."
Melissa coughed lightly to hide her embarrassment. "Uh... I never meddle in the affairs of the young ones."
"Oh my, Mrs. Archer. You're being modest here. That's your daughter-in-law! Isn't your word enough to convince her?"
"Your daughter-in-law will give you honor as a mother-in-law! Or is it that you don't even have the strength to do that?"
Her words completely stepped on Melissa's pride.
If she were to brush off these rich housewives, she would not be able to mix in this circle in the future.
Melissa smiled. "What are you talking about? I am her mother-in-law. She would have to listen to whatever I say. Do you want to go to the store to pick out clothes? What's wrong with that? I'll take you all with me some other day."
Treating her as her own daughter? This sounds ridiculous!
Because of Dominic, she tolerated her and retreated in the past, but in return, she got her way and bullied her in every way possible. Now, she did not need to tolerate her and allow this anymore.
"Mrs. Archer treats me like her own daughter? How come I don't know this myself?"
This outburst from Penelope instantly interrupted the conversation of the rich housewives, and Melissa was dumbfounded. The feeling of being caught on the spot made her entire being a little embarrassed.
She looked at Penelope who walked out. Her face had not changed, but her attitude had changed long ago.
In the past, she could still strut around in front of Penelope, but now she felt that she was giving off an invisible intense aura, making her unnaturally lower than her.
