CHAPTER 829: CHAPTER 516: GROWN WINGS

Upon seeing Isla Linton, Nathan Rhodes was truly taken aback.

She never imagined that this woman would now be standing with Ivy Miller.

She was stunned for a moment, then Ivy Miller glanced at Isla Linton and stepped forward.

"Mom, you and Florence are out shopping together."

Nathan didn’t look at her, just cautiously gazed at Isla Linton.

Florence Wilder reacted quickly and smiled at her, "Sister-in-law, you’re out shopping with friends too."

"Yes, have you finished shopping?"

"Yeah, you all have a lot of bags too."

"Right, I bought some clothes for Ivy."

After Ivy Miller finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Isla Linton, who then stepped forward to stand beside Ivy Miller facing Nathan Rhodes.

"Auntie, long time no see."

"What are you doing in Anchester?"

Ivy Miller felt a bit nervous, "Mom, Sister Linton is... on a business trip to Anchester and took the opportunity to visit Henry."

Isla Linton smiled faintly, "I think there’s no need for me to explain to Auntie why I’m in Anchester."

Nathan felt some concern and glanced at Ivy Miller, uncertain if her daughter-in-law knew about Isla Linton’s background.

She guessed that Ivy Miller certainly didn’t know, otherwise she wouldn’t be out shopping with her.

Moreover, the most critical point was that Henry and this woman probably wouldn’t have said anything.

It was unclear whether Henry still had feelings for this woman. If he did... then this woman’s appearance might not necessarily be a bad thing for her.

She happened to dislike Ivy Miller, so she might as well make use of this woman to drive Ivy away from Henry’s side and then personally drive this woman out of Anchester.

This way... Henry could marry the right daughter-in-law as she wished, and the future prospects could be limitless.

Thinking this way, Nathan’s expression became much calmer.

"Business trip? I think you claim it’s a business trip, but you’re actually doing some shady deals behind the scenes.

I warn you, Isla Linton, my son is already married and even has children now. You better keep your distance from him."

"Auntie, do you really think you can control others forever?

What I wish to do is my own affair, and you can’t interfere with it.

I want to tell you, I’m no longer the Isla Linton from back then.

I advise you to refrain from meddling in other people’s business."

Ivy Miller was a bit surprised; she was so used to seeing Sister Linton’s gentle and agreeable demeanor that this side of her seemed unfamiliar.

How much must one hate someone to be driven to change like this?

"You... oh Isla Linton, have you grown bolder after being out for a few years?"

Isla Linton shook her head with a smile, "No, only angels have wings, and didn’t you already break mine?

Now, I am a devil, a devil who would die together with my enemy on sight."

Nathan’s expression tightened, "A crazy woman indeed, Ivy Miller, you go home right now."

"Mom, you take your time shopping, we’ll be going first."

After saying that, she pulled Isla Linton by the wrist to leave.

Nathan said displeased, "I let you go, who told you to take others with you."

"Mom, I came with Sister Linton, so of course we leave together."

"Nothing is that self-evident, just go.

I’m telling you, this woman is no good. You should keep your distance from her."

Ivy Miller furrowed her brow, "Mom, could you not talk like that?

Sister Linton is at least Henry’s friend. If you speak like that, you’ll hurt her."

"Oh, Ivy Miller, are you fooling around?

Do you know what kind of relationship she and Henry had before, arguing with me here?

I tell you, they used to be a couple, nearly married.

I’m helping you, do you understand?"

Isla Linton chuckled without words, "Auntie, so many years have passed, and you’re still as selfish as ever.

No matter when, no matter what you want to do, it’s always with the pretense of being good for Henry."

"You shut up."

Isla Linton completely ignored her, "Whether I shut up or not is none of your concern."

Nathan suddenly raised her hand and slapped Isla Linton.

The slap came too fast and was wholly unexpected, leaving Ivy Miller stunned. Her mother-in-law actually hit someone? Was she out of her mind?

Isla Linton covered her face with her hand, while Ivy Miller quickly exclaimed, "Mom, what are you doing?

Sister Linton, Sister Linton, I’m sorry. My mom, she... I’m really sorry."

She didn’t know what to say, it was all because she wanted to go shopping, leading Sister Linton to suffer such grievances.
