A hint of disappointment flashed across Lena's eyes.
Lina held her hand.
Lena did not want to worry her, so she forced a smile and said, "She... is probably Mrs. Hamerton's prospective
daughter-in-law, right? She seems to fit the bill. Beautiful, from a good family, and they grew up together, so they
know each other well."
"What nonsense are you talking about!?" Lina frowned. "Marriage is your and Chris' business. What does it have to
do with Bitchy Bianca?"
"Bitchy Bianca?"
"Uh..." Lina stuck out her tongue, laughing in embarrassment.
Just as Lena fiercely protected Lina, the latter was equally protective of Lena. Seeing someone threatening Lena's

connections!
"Anyway, I won't allow anyone to harm you!" Lina squeezed Lena's hand firmly. "Including Chris!"
"Lina..."
"Let's watch and see for now." Lina chuckled. "If Bitchy Bianca behaves herself, that's fine. But if she dares to
misbehave in my house, watch how I handle her!"
A maid knocked on the door, informing them that the meal was ready.
Lina led Lena to the dining room, where everyone was getting ready to sit down.
It seemed like Bianca and Chris were enjoying their conversation.
However, just as Bianca was about to sit next to Chris, Lena suddenly felt being pulled away by some force. When
she came back to her senses, she realized that Fleur had firmly pushed her into the seat next to Chris.
"Dilly dallying even just to eat!" Fleur grunted. "There won't be any seats left for you if you're late!"
Lena was slightly stunned.
Equally surprised was Bianca.
Zuko and Lina exchanged a knowing smile and sat down as if nothing had happened.
Bianca stood awkwardly in place.
Fleur then spoke again. "Bianca, go sit over there!"
"Huh?" Bianca looked around. It was a round table, and the only available seat was the one between Lena and Lina.
It was neither next to Chris nor close to Fleur. It was genuinely a guest's seat.
Bianca was upset but did not want to make a scene in someone else's home. She forced a smile and said, "Okay,
whatever you say, Aunt Fleur! Sitting here is great, too. I like sitting next to Pamela!"
Fleur chuckled. "Oh? You don't like sitting next to your sister-in-law?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNow, everyone was stunned before they smiled cryptically.
Bianca's expression changed slightly. "I like it. Of course I like it!"
"Your sister-in-law doesn't talk much but has a good heart!" Fleur pursed her lips. "Bianca, you're back for good this
time, right? When you have time, let your sister-in-law take you around. You haven't been in Centrolis for many
years, and it has greatly changed!"
"Yeah, okay..." Bianca took a deep breath. She raised her glass to thank Lena in advance, mumbling the word
'sister-in-law' and making it almost indistinguishable.
Lena smiled politely and was about to raise her glass, but Chris gently took it away.
"It's a bit early for thanks now." Chris smiled. "Lenny and I are going to the mountainous area. We'll probably be
back in about a week. Ask Lenny to take you around by then, and you can thank her after!"
"You're going to the mountainous area?" Bianca widened her eyes. "For what?"
"Good deeds, of course!" Lina interjected. "Bianca, don't just talk. Try the dishes our chef prepared!"
