Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 262

Chapter 262: Chapter 262

But people can’t just look down on everyone just because she had some talent! Sending people off to the loony bin like it’s nothing—that’s way too much, man!

Not far off, Mrs. Panter was all bummed out because she couldn’t get close to Olga. She spied the scene unfolding and made a beeline for Rosemary.

"You frivolous girl! My son is about to get engaged to Yoli, and you’re still here, sticking like glue? And in front of my future daughter-in-law? How can you be so shameless?"

Even though Rosemary was a high-profile piano maestro, Mrs. Panter reckoned that even the best maestro couldn’t hold a candle to the property the Harris family had just bought for a fortune!

In terms of benefits, Yolanda still had the upper hand!

Yolanda was taken aback by the words daughter-in-law. She hadn’t expected Mrs. Panter to publicly acknowledge her status. She felt a sense of elevation.

"Me? Bothering your son?" Rosemary found this amusing. "Is your vision impaired, or is something wrong?" She pointed at her head. "Do you need me to book an appointment with a doctor? Does your family have some sort of special advantage? Or is the Panter family in line for royal status? You’re so full of yourselves, I thought you were royalty."

"YOU!" Mrs. Panter was thrown off by Rosemary’s disrespect, belittling the Panter family in front of everyone.

Even though the Panter family wasn’t royalty, they were not to be trifled with by a girl of her age!

"Forget it. Don’t bother with her." Olga had seen what Rosemary was capable of today. She knew she was the biological daughter of the Collins family and was acknowledged by Alberto as his granddaughter.

Plus, Rosemary’s parents were here!

The Collins family was tight with the Archer family. Starting a ruckus on Archer turf was asking for trouble!

But Mrs. Panter wasn’t aware of the connection between the Collins family and Rosemary, so she confidently said, "Olga, you don’t need to go easy on her. You’ve been too lenient with her in the past. That’s why she dares to belittle you! Today, I’ll teach this ingrate a lesson!"

Guests around them thought, Who does this Mrs. Panter think she is? They had clearly seen Rosemary attending with Mr. and Mrs. Collins, and they seemed to be on good terms.

Where did this Mrs. Panter get the guts to mess with someone connected to the Collins family?

The key point was they had also seen Erlinda looking really close with this girl.

Feeling all eyes on her, Mrs. Panter didn’t want to lose face, so she attempted to discipline Rosemary.

But Rosemary coldly grabbed her wrist. She didn’t expect so many people to cause trouble today.

She immediately shook off Mrs. Panter’s hand. "Monkey see, monkey do!"

"Frivolous girl, who are you swearing at?" Mrs. Panter was ready to go toe-to-toe with her!

Today, for her son’s marriage and the future of the Panter family, she had to put on a good show in front of Olga!

Erlinda had always been looking for a chance to deal with the Harris family and the Panter family. Seeing them argue, she smiled and walked toward them.

"Let’s see who has the nerve to stir up trouble on my turf."

Seeing Erlinda step up, Mrs. Panter felt emboldened. "Ms. Archer, your timing is impeccable! This young lady—I don’t know who invited her—is shamelessly seducing my son in public! You might not know, but my son is about to propose to Yolanda, the heiress of the Harris Group!"

Without giving Erlinda a chance to speak, Mrs. Panter raised her voice so everyone could hear. "We’ve already prepared for the engagement party! But this young lady—"

Suddenly, a hand brutally slapped Mrs. Panter in the face.

Everyone was shocked and turned their attention to Erlinda!

Even Mrs. Panter was stunned—she had been slapped by Erlinda!

And it happened in front of everyone!

Now, Mr. Panter and Attlee Harris couldn’t sit still and came forward at once. "Ms. Archer, who are you?"

"You keep saying all kinds of bad things about my niece in front of me, and you still bully my niece here? You really think I’m easy to bully?"

Hearing this, the crowd was immediately shocked.

Niece? Rosemary was Erlinda’s niece?

How was that possible? Wasn’t Erlinda still unmarried?

A person who didn’t even have a spouse—where could she get a niece?

Could it be that she treated other people’s children as nieces?

The Panter family and the Harris family were shocked.

"I don’t recall knowing you well. I didn’t invite you to dinner tonight, did I?"

As soon as Erlinda’s voice fell, a person came out of the crowd and said respectfully, "I’m sorry, Ms. Archer, I invited them."

"There seems to be something wrong with your vision. I guess your work is not very good either. If I don’t see your resignation letter tomorrow morning, I will make sure you never work in this industry again!"

Hearing this, the man’s legs went weak from fear. "Ms. Archer—"

"Let’s go!"

"Sure." The man hadn’t expected to lose his job over this, and his eyes were full of resentment toward the Panter and Harris families.

Erlinda looked at the Panter and Harris families coldly. "I have invited my niece for three years, and she finally came to my dinner party, and you self-righteous people messed it up."

"Ms. Archer—"

Before Mrs. Panter could finish, Erlinda said, "I usually speak softly to my niece, but you dare to lecture her here?"

"Ms. Archer, let me explain."

"My niece needs you to teach her? You little families don’t know the rules, so I’ll teach you the rules today!"

Erlinda raised her hand again and slapped Mrs. Panter in the face.

The crowd gasped in shock.

"Respect is mutual. Since you don’t respect my niece, I don’t need to be polite to you!"

Erlinda then picked up a disinfectant wipe from a waiter’s tray, wiped her hands, and tossed it aside in disgust.

"I clearly saw your son pestering my niece just now. He has a fiancée and grabbed my niece’s hand. Somebody, break his hand."

Hearing this, people were stunned!

Erlinda truly lived up to her reputation—bold and fearless!

Now that the Panter and Harris families had offended her, their fate was doomed.

"Ms. Archer, you can’t do this!" Mrs. Panter immediately stepped in front of her son.

Mr. Panter also shielded his son. "My son’s engagement party will be in two days."

"Oh, what does that have to do with me?" Erlinda scoffed. Two small families daring to act arrogant in front of her?

Zachary quickly spoke up. "Ms. Archer, the thing is, Rosemary beat my fiancée today and then had my fiancée’s family sent to a mental hospital, so I was very angry and wanted to ask why."

As soon as Zachary spoke, everyone was shocked.

"So the Harris family was sent to a mental hospital today?"

"I didn’t expect the Harris daughter to be beaten. What happened?"

"So they came straight from a mental hospital to attend tonight’s dinner?"

Attlee and Olga were visibly embarrassed, while Mrs. Panter was completely at a loss.

"A mental hospital? Yoli was beaten? What happened?"

How come her son never mentioned this to her?

Before Zachary could respond, a voice rang out.

"The person who bullied me just says an apology and thinks that’s enough?"

Everyone turned to see the source of the voice.

It was Romeo McMillian.

Everyone was shocked.

"Mr. McMillian."

"Mr. McMillian."

Many guests greeted him, and Romeo nodded slightly in response.
