Chapter 3

For the next three days, I didn't see Gabriel.

When it was time for the monthly Young family dinner, I had to go to the Young mansion alone.

"Well, if it isn't our high and mighty Mrs. Young?"

As soon as I entered the main hall, Felix couldn't help but mock me.

"You're alone today? Where's my dear big brother?"

The Young family usually treated me with disdain.

When Gabriel was around, they would restrain themselves somewhat out of respect for him, not giving me too much trouble.

Seeing me alone this time, they naturally couldn't resist taunting me.

Felix was Gabriel's half-brother, and they had been rivals for a long time.

In his eyes, I, the wife from a humble background, was Gabriel's biggest flaw.

Usually, when he lost out to Gabriel, he would come to pick on me.

"Your brother is busy dealing with company matters. He'll be here soon."

My calm response seemed to ignite a fire in Felix.

He exploded instantly.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't think you're the CEO's wife just because my brother became CEO. You're nothing but a gold-digger who slept her way to the top. You can't even compare to a single finger of Rachel's!"

Felix's sudden outburst against his sister-in-law was far from a pleasant scene.

With the Young family elders absent, the younger generation present merely watched disinterestedly.

Waiting to see me make a fool of myself.

But my expression remained unusually calm. I just found Felix's anger rather amusing.

An illegitimate son of a mistress, self-righteously calling me a gold-digger – it certainly fit the Young family's style.

I almost forgot, this one was also a loyal supporter of my stepsister.

He hated Gabriel so much, yet still attacked me for him and Rachel.

I wonder if he knows that his dear Rachel is about to give him a little nephew or niece.

"That's a question you should ask your brother, it has nothing to do with me."

My face was surprisingly calm, my attitude colder than usual.

Felix was momentarily taken aback.

In the past, when he said such things, I would usually look upset and then turn to Gabriel for help.

"Without my brother around, you're not even pretending anymore!"

"I should let him see your true colors!"

It was at this moment that Gabriel appeared.

But he didn't come alone.

The handsome man and beautiful woman walked side by side, as if announcing something.
