Chapter 1390: 1390. Rural shrew Alexander Thomas, as the only son and Head of the Churchill Family with an aunt who was the Family Matriarch of the Jones Family and genuinely fond of Grace Gresia.
Among numerous admirers, Grace Gresia chose Alexander Thomas.
Though the Churchill Family was socially prominent, they held no prejudices concerning social status. Seeing Grace Gresia as genuine and wholesome, and knowing their son liked her, they allowed her to marry into their family.
Right after Grace Gresia married into the Churchill family, she was truly in her glory, and her own family's status skyrocketed immediately.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, shortly after her marriage, the Head of the Churchill Family, Alexander's father, and brother of Old Lady Churchill passed away.
Alexander Thomas himself was rather indulgent and incompetent, never worried about anything while his father was alive, nor did he anticipate any crisis.
His father passed away suddenly, and he found himself unprepared to take over the Churchill Family.
It goes without saying that at that time, many were eyeing the metaphorical fat piece of the Churchill estate, and even with the aid of his aunt, the Old Lady, a portion was still carved away from the family.
Lacking capability, the Churchill Family declined under his leadership.
Eventually, Grace Gresia realized how useless Alexander Thomas was and began to flirt and connect with her former admirers.
During this period, she was caught by those young masters' wives and even personally by Alexander Thomas. Back when Old Master Churchill was still alive, Grace Gresia pretended to be virtuous and gentle.
Latter, after being caught in adultery multiple times, she seemed to adopt a defiant attitude, gradually revealing her true nature.
Later, with the birth of Jasmine Churchill, and realizing those young masters were merely toying with her and had no intentions of divorcing their wives to marry her, she settled down.
But her sharp and vulgar nature from her countryside beginnings never softened.
Especially now, feeling that her daughter was dishonored by Elly Campbell and then given a distant seat at the table, she believed this was Elly Campbell, the hostess's way of showing disdain towards poorer relatives like the Churchills.
After all, at such family banquets, it's usually decided by the hostess. She was certain her family being placed far away was Elly's decision.
When Grace Gresia started her tirade, Alexander Thomas truly couldn't stop her. After pushing him aside, she marched up to Elly Campbell, pointed at the tip of her nose, and angrily scolded: "My daughter kindly brought you coffee as a guest in your home, yet this is how you treat us? If you think we poor relatives don't deserve to cto the Jones's, you shouldn't have invited us at all." She acted with such firm resentment, completely forgetting how she treasured the invitation from the Jones's like a prized possession.
Not to mention the others didn't understand what had transpired, the way Grace Gresia pointed and yelled at the hostess's nose like a shrew was quite unsightly.
Those visiting the Jones's were mostly wealthy and noble, with quite important statuses, who, regardless of their inner thoughts, maintained basic decency in public. Grace Gresia's unrefined outburst not only did not garner sympathy, but it also made her appear disgraceful.
Many guests couldn't help but frown upon her behavior.
Yet, seeing their frowns, Grace Gresia did not introspect but instead m winte with her thought they agreed with criticism of Elly Campbell, feeling even more pleased with herself.
