His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 181

Every time Autumn thought of her grandma's condition she would blame herself as to how she could be so naive to believe Wendy after all they had been through together. 'If I hadn't believed what Wendy said, grandma wouldn't have missed the best time for her surgery.'

"Wendy you disgust me! How could you neglect grandma's health..."

"Did you find her? I have thoroughly underestimated you, " Wendy declared. "You are my daughter and Yvonne is your sister. You must take good care of her before I come back, as she is part of your family. Do you understand?"

"Grandma is my only family in the world. I don't have a mother let alone a sister, " Autumn shouted at Wendy, sending the message loud and clear across the phone. "Let me be clear here. I will pay for Yvonne's surgery but it is simply impossible for me to attend to her and be at her beck and call. You better come back right now if you are really concerned about your daughter."

Autumn then abruptly disconnected the call.

Meanwhile, Isla and her parents arrived at Mandy's house. They gathered at the gate. Aron and Mike had come here earlier in the morning to discuss Aron's wedding with Becky.

Mandy had seldom visited her brother John since she got married, and John didn't even know where Mandy lived.

"Isla, does your aunt live here?" Looking at the grand villa, John said with his eyes wide open, "Isla, this villa alone must cost over hundreds of thousands."

"Hundreds of thousands? Are you kidding me?" Jina responded blankly, staring at John. "Your sister approached us two years back. She bragged to the villagers that she had spent several millions buying a house."

Upon hearing the estimate, John affixed his eyes on the grand mansion with his mouth wide open. After recalling the purpose of his visit, he rubbed his hands on his pants and intended to shout his sister's name. Isla grabbed him by his hand in an attempt to stop him and rang the bell. She explained to John, "Dad, this is a doorbell. Once you press this button, a bell will notify the residents of the house that they have a visitor. Now almost all of the people living in the city use it."

With an embarrassed smile John responded, "Well... I see." Within seconds a servant appeared at the gate. After briefly observing the three visitors outside the gate, the servant said with a frown, "What are you doing here? You have come to the wrong place for begging. Leave now!"

John turned red with rage and yelled out, "How dare you talk to us in such a rude manner? Do I look like a pauper to you?" 'It seems Mandy has become more and more overbearing as years went by. Even her servants follow her footsteps, ' thought John angrily.

The servant snorted, "Well I definitely don't think you are guests of my mistress. I have never heard once that she had any poor relatives like you." 'Poverty and destitution must have driven them mad enough to resort to such extreme measures. How dare they pretend to be mistress's relatives to deceive me?' she thought scornfully.

Jina stammered furiously, "You..." Isla walked closer to the gate and said, "You must remember me."

The servant observed her discreetly. Even though Isla hadn't come here for several years, she finally recognized her. After all, she had been working here for decades. With an awkward smile she tried to make amends, she said, "Isla... You should have told me your name the second I came to the door."

However, even after recognizing her, she didn't open the gate.

'Today is an important day for my lady. I cannot let Isla inside as she may stir up some trouble, ' she mused.

"You haven't visited your aunt in a long time. May I know why you have come here after all this time?" continued the servant. "If you have something important to tell the mistress, please let me know. I can forward your message to her."

Isla wasn't bothered by what the staff had just said but she was just embarrassed and felt sorry for her parents. 'They came here after a long and tiring journey, and now after all that trouble they went through, they weren't even allowed to enter the house.

Mandy is going too far this time, ' Isla thought to herself.
