I’m Dedicated To You

After Georgina left the dining hall to the restroom the room was so silent but the silence didn’t take long before it ended.

“What an ill-mannered girl she doesn’t even have the decency to talk gently with adults” Emily snorted.

“I am sure an average girl will not just end that humiliation with just that outburst but I could say she is still decent,” Kate says, trying to irk her sister-in-law.

She was going to make sure she used the opportunity to irk her and get back at her for being disrespectful to her all this time.

“I think an average girl will have acted normal in that kind of situation,” Emily says, not feeling bad about what she did and Juliana smiles at her supportive behavior.

“Do you have to do that Emily” Beatrice says but Bradley’s mother wasn’t having it.

“What did I do? I never asked her to suffer so much” she argued wondering why the family was so much in support of the girl.

Is she not just some poor orphan?

“You know that she has already been through a lot, so did you think all that embarrassment was necessary?”Bradley’s father questioned and Bradley’s mother was so surprised that her husband could question her like that.

“Honey how could you say that?”she asked, betrayed that her husband could question her like that.

“I think your husband is right on this one Emily you were harsh on the girl I know you might not know how hard it is to not have anyone you can relent because you have never been in her place so, degrading her is not a good thing to do”grandma Hale reprimanded Bradley’s mother and Kate shares a quick smile with her husband before she decided to jump in.

“Don’t be the angry mother I am sure that sister-in-law doesn’t mean to degrade her son’s wife like that I mean she must just be mad that the girl is not from the high society” Kate says trying to fuel grandma Hale’s anger by mentioning the high society because grandma Hale is also from a middle-class family.

“Being from a rich family is nothing to be proud of if you don’t behave well”grandma Hale snorted and that got Bradley’s mother angry.

Why was she the bad girl?

“Mother I didn’t hate the girl because of her background or should I say she has no background but how could a girl that has shown her body to all the citizens of the country be the wife of my son and…” she was saying but she was cut off by Jayden’s voice.

“She is not an adult film actress so why did you keep addressing her like that!”Jayden yelled and that got everyone surprised because he has been acting almost invisible to everyone but his sudden outburst was a shock and his actions were noted by some people in the dining room.

“Will you stop that Jayden she is your Aunt” her mother reprimanded embarrassed because his son’s outburst was so uncalled for she quickly eyed him to apologize and especially to not make grandpa Hale that has been quiet all this while get angry with him and flustered Jayden just sit back without saying anything.

“Jayden, did you have no manners to talk like that to an adult,” Will says angrily for the first time in the dining room because he doesn’t want his son to ruin his plans.

“You can’t even teach your son basic manners and you are lecturing me on how to talk, “Emily says, hissing , also forgetting that she shouldn’t do that when the elders are present.

“I am a sorry father, I shouldn’t have done that,” she says apologizing.

“But why can’t anyone agree with me that the girl is not fit as a wife for my son, how can she help him in managing the group, “she says trying to change everyone’s mind because what is she going to say to the social ladies in the society when they meet.

“You don’t even understand what stock manipulation was when I married you so, I don’t think you are in the place to talk about that, “Bradley’s father says angrily, putting food on his wife’s plate and everyone looks at him like they don’t understand the man.

He was reprimanding but also pampering her at the same time.

“I am very sure auntie didn’t mean it that way, “Juliana says and Bradley’s mother flashed her a sad smile because the way everyone in the family didn’t support her has already worn her out.

“I can’t even eat dinner properly in my house, “Grandpa Hale says after a very long time that they all have been arguing with each other in the dining room.

“If I know that the Hale family is this entertaining I would have just partnered with Anderson back then to make a movie, “he says and his stern loom makes everyone in the room quiet.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“If you all think that Bradley’s decision to marry that actress girl is wrong then tell me why Hale group hasn’t gone bankrupt because of his bad decision making”Grandpa Hale continues.

“But father, this girl has a bad reputation. I heard she even has a drug scandal recently, “Emily says.

“It was a false accusation and it was later cleared. It seems like your informant didn’t brief you well”Bradley’s cold voice rang through the room and the aura he was emanating was so choking that the room turned cold.

“Son, I am your mother and I think this girl is no good. She might just be with you for money, what if she is a gold digger,” Emily says getting up from her seat towards Bradley but Bradley’s next words make her stop.

“Then that’s good I will earn enough so she won’t want to leave me,” he says and the people in the room gasp.
