Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth
Chapter 145 Have You Told Gwenda?

After listening to their words, Pauline wiped her eyes and sighed. "That's enough. Benson's coming home soon. If he hears you talking about this, he will get angry."

"Pauline, oh Pauline. Not only do you have to take good care of your husband, but you've got to be bullied by his ex-wife's child. You really are a good wife and mother. No wonder everyone says that you're the most generous, decent, and lenient person in Harmon City."

Her friends teased her.

Pauline smiled through her tears. "Stop making fun of me. I'm not as good as you think I am. I'm just a soft-hearted person that's easily picked on by others."

"Exactly! I can barely stand it sometimes, watching you like that."

"I know you feel sorry for me, but it's inevitable for me to be bullied as I'm a stepmother. I just have to get to used to it..."

Pauline kept presenting herself as a weak, gentle person.

Seeing this, her friends were worried about her and were also feeling sad for her.

But even so, none of them dared to criticise her for her faults.

After all, she did not do anything wrong. Gwenda was the only one at fault here. Therefore, all the anger and stigma would end up falling onto Gwenda's head... While Pauline would be the saintly one...

Two days later, news of Gwenda bullying her aunt had spread throughout Harmon City.

Everyone said that she was being subversive, and even Suzanne had received the news.

...

As a result, she called August back to the Reed mansion that night and asked him about it. "The rumours about Gwenda these days, are they true?"

"I'm not sure."

August sat lazily on the sofa, playing a game on his phone without concern.

Seeing this, Suzanne frowned and whacked him hard on the head.

A loud smack sounded in the room and August hissed in pain. "Grandmother!"

"Oh, you do know that I'm your grandmother?"

Suzanne glared at him and said, "I'm asking you a question. Do you think you can just bypass this with an "I don't know"?"

"I really don't know."

August put away his phone and said helplessly, "I'm so busy these days that I barely have time to deal with that brat."

"You just want to piss me off, don't you?"

Suzanne growled through gritted teeth.

"Grandmother..."

"Don't "grandmother" me! Hurry up and replace out what's going on. I want an answer one hour later!"

Suzanne gave the order.

August had no choice but to do as he was told. He called his special assistant, Eric, who got to the bottom of the matter very quickly.

...

After listening to Eric's report, August reported everything to Suzanne.

"This is unacceptable!"

Suzanne was enraged. "It must be her stepmother pretending to be a weakling again, acting as if she's the most aggrieved person on this planet so that Gwenda is the one embroiled in controversy! She did this plenty of times in the past. I didn't think that she's still pulling the same nonsense even now!"

"Grandmother, please calm down."

August knew that she had never liked Pauline, and patted her back soothingly. "The Gwenda we now know is not the same from before. She's tough, and definitely has her own measures ready for this. You don't have to worry about her."

"Oh, well, this child has always believed in every word her stepmother says. It's extraordinary that she has finally come to her senses."

Suzanne sighed. "I wonder how she feels right now, facing such controversies alone. No, I must give her a call."

"Grandmother..."

August stopped her. "Just rest assured. Gwenda is fine. She's devoted to her career now. How can she possibly have time to care about these things?"

"I'm just afraid that she'll be given a hard time. It's not like you don't know what her stepmother's like,"

Suzanne said anxiously.

August chuckled and said, "Then you don't even have to worry all that much. Ever since Gwenda changed, she's been acting more decisively than ever. She will be able to resolve this on her own. Just relax and stop worrying about her."

"Really?"

"Of course!"

August sighed. "Grandmother, if Gwenda is getting picked on by others out there, I would be the first to go after them as her cousin, not just you." "Since when did you care about her?"

Suzanne gazed at him in surprise. "Didn't you hate her before? Saying that she was always a fool who listened to lies, unable to tell the good from the bad." August scratched his head awkwardly. "You said it yourself, that was before. Hasn't she changed now? Naturally, I would change my view of her as well."

Ever since she borrowed 10 million from him to establish her studio, August stopped looking at Gwenda through his old observations.

He knew that she had really changed, and that this change was developing in the right direction.

He was very glad.

"That's true. Gwenda has indeed changed a lot."

Suzanne was filled with mixed emotions.

She had been extremely worried about her granddaughter over the years.

But seeing this change in Gwenda, she considered it a long-term wish granted.

"By the way, did you tell Gwenda about my birthday feast next week?"

Suzanne suddenly recalled this matter.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
