3/3 Deserted Wife Strikes Back Chapter 13 Talking About the Wedding Playing Along In the car on the way back to Lockhart Mansion .
Cecilia turned to Genevieve with a serious look , Mom , besides nothing blindly loyal to Ophelia , you dont always have to give in to Vincents family either .
Genevieve sighed , Theodore just wants to avoid family drama .
Honestly , the Lockhart inheritance shouldve gone to the eldest son , but your grandpa gave everything to Theodore .
Its no wonder Vinces family is upset .
But that doesnt give Vincent the right to push us around .
Mom , our family has always had this flawed thinking .
We assume the family business should go to the eldest son , and that the second so inheriting it is disrespectful to the eldest ! But think about it differently why didnt the eldest son get the estate , but the second on did ? Genevieve was taken aback ; she had never considered it that way .
Thats because the eldest son wasnt capable .
He couldnt handle the familys responsibilities , so my grandpa chose my dad .
We shouldnt feel guilty : we should be proud .
Were the ones keeping the Lockhart Group afloat .
The Lockhart family , including Vincent , should be grateful to us , not mocking or oppressing us .
At that moment , Genevieve seemed convinced by Cecilias words .
All this time , they had been lowering themselves to avoid internal conflicts .
Now , thinking about it , they inherited the estate because of their abilities .
Why should they endure so much criticism ? Seeing that Genevieve seemed to understand , Cecilia added , So , Mom , from now on , deal with everyone in the Lockhart family with , confidence .
Otherwise , theyll really think theyre in the right ! Okay , Genevieve agreed immediately .
In the Lockhart family , compromising doesnt solve problems ; it just makes them more aggressive .
You catch on quick ! Cecilia praised .
Genevieve smiled warmly , Didnt your actions today make it very clear to me ? Genevieve Was right , but she wasnt just setting an example for Genevieve .
Her actions today were also meant to provoke Isadora .
To be precise , she was provoking Juliana .

khaat Mantion , they wi surprised to find Theodore had also come back .
Seeing them leave together , he was a bit surprised , Where did you go so early ? We went to Old Lockhart Mansion , Cecilia replied .
Theodores expression clearly changed , and with a slightly reproach tone , he said , Why didnt you tell me you were going there ? You should let me accompany you In her previous life , Cecilia had avoided the people at Old Lockhart Mansion like the plague .
Thinking back now , she felt it was unworthy of her family .
After all , their family had bent over backward , trying to keep the peace , but in return , the family from Old Lockhart Mansion had joined forces with the Kingsley family to put her family to death ! Before Cecilia could speak , Genevieve smiled and said , From now on you focus on your work .
You dont need to worry about these family matters .
Theodore was clearly puzzled .
In the past , every time they had to go to Old Lockhart Mansion , Genevieve would be extremely nervous and would be down for several days after returning .
But now she seemed to be in a good mood .
By the way , why did you come back suddenly ? Is there anything ? Genevieve quickly changed the subject .
Theodore had many questions , but remembering the matter at hand , he didnt ask further and replied , Nathaniel Kingsley said we should go to the Kingsley family for lunch today to discuss Cecilia and Dominics wedding next month .
As he spoke , Theodore glanced at Cecilia Cecilia smiled calmly and said , Lets Arent you planning to call off the wedding ? Theodore couldnt hel but ask , Thats for later .
For now , whatever the Kingsley family says , we do .
Well fully cooperate with them … and put on a show .
That way , the slap in the face will be even louder .
Theodore didnt say much more .
Since he had agreed to let Cecilia handle the wedding , they would follow her lead .
So they didnt delay .
They changed into appropriate attire and headed straight to Kingsley Mansion .
At the entrance , the Kingsley family warmly greeted them ..
In the past , Cecilia had thought this was a sign of the Kingsley familys respect for them .
Now she knew it was all for show .
As soon as Cecilia got out of the car , she n paparazzi hiding in the shadows .
It had to be mentioned that in a high end villa area , not even a fly could get in without permission , so this was clearly arranged .
