Secret Marriage, High-Profile Pampering!-Chapter 751: You’re just a backup, that’s all

His voice was somewhat loud. Lorraine Hughes stood not far from him and could hear the Old Master’s words completely.

Her gaze followed the direction of the two people, and Lorraine Hughes paused for a few seconds.

Diana Wood still refused to admit it, "It’s just friends catching up, Lauren and her mom came along, what’s wrong with that?"

The Old Master didn’t care about that much, and with a cold face threw a sentence at her, "In any case, now there’s a grandson, I won’t support a divorce between Summer and Adrian!"

Diana Wood didn’t think much at the moment and blurted out, "Isn’t that on the condition that the child is born safely?"

She spoke quickly, probably without even thinking about what she was saying.

As soon as she spoke, she was a bit regretful.

The Old Master’s expression darkened instantly, and he looked sideways at her, his gaze somewhat sharp, "Is this the way you plan to do things?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Diana Wood probably realized how heartless her words were, and frightened by the Old Master’s gaze, shyly took two steps back.

Lorraine Hughes was still standing beside them quietly observing the scene, her lips slightly curled in a subtle smile.

Adrian Walyon leisurely walked downstairs, listening to the conversation between the Old Master and Diana Wood from beginning to end, his gaze chillingly intense.

Diana Wood felt a cold shiver down her back as Adrian looked at her, and she was about to head back to the guests when Adrian blocked her way.

He raised his watch to check the time, and spoke slowly, "It’s only just after eight o’clock, nowhere near bedtime yet, is Madam Walyon already dreaming?"

Diana, "..."

"Fantasizing is fine, but that’s something for young people. Madam Walyon, you’re quite old now, better to be more realistic." Adrian spoke sharply, hardly anyone could withstand his barbs, not even his own mother.

While pouring cold water on Diana, he also mocked her age.

Diana was only in her forties and usually took good care of herself, looking just like someone in their thirties. Anyone who saw her would not think she was old.

How many women enjoy being called old?

Diana was so infuriated by Adrian that she gritted her teeth and glared at him, but there was nothing she could do.

"The first time Summer came to this house, I said at the party that the only woman I would marry in this lifetime is her. Madam Walyon is old, her memory isn’t good, if she forgot, it’s okay, I can remind you!"

Adrian glared at her sideways, speaking slowly, "I’m a person with quite a singular taste; when it comes to anything, I only like one type. Once I like something, I will never change. Madam Walyon, you’d better remember that!"

Diana glared at him, her whole body trembling.

"In this world, not everyone is like you, marrying a daughter-in-law for the sake of her womb." With so many people present, Adrian wasn’t afraid of damaging her reputation, his sarcasm was very acute, "The name on my marriage certificate already has the other half, and it will never change in this lifetime. Madam Walyon, your daily pointless struggles seem worthless to me."

Scanning over to Lorraine Hughes, Adrian remained as sharp-tongued as ever, "You see, what Madam Walyon wants is just a grandson. To put it bluntly, if the child in my wife’s belly is born safely, Madam Walyon will have no issues with my wife, and naturally, there wouldn’t be any place for Miss Hughes either."

"If, by any chance, something happens to the child in my wife’s womb and they don’t come safely into this world, at most, Miss Hughes is just a backup prepared by Madam Walyon."
