Secretly Rich Son in Law

Chapter 2

Meanwhile at Judith's wedding, Lily Wilson walked slowly into the party room. The luxurious building that Judith's family had rented looked so elegant and beautiful. Lily took a deep breath as if gathering strength and courage to face the people there.

"Hi Lily, how are you? I thought you wouldn't dare come to this party!”

Lily took a deep breath then exhaled slowly and put a sweet smile on her lips before she turned her body. “Hi, Jasmine. I am doing fine. You seem quite healthy and look fresh.”

Jasmine smiled sweetly, she was her sister-in-law. “Of course I'm healthy and fresh. All of that is because I do routine body care,” Jasmine replied in a tone scoffed a little.

Lily could only hold tightness in her chest. She had suspected this before. Since she married Henry, she always became the butt when she met her extended family. “Ah, yes. lately I rarely get treatment because I'm busy," Lily said while sitting on a chair.

Jasmine who took the seat beside Lily squeaked. "Busy or you don’t have money to go to the salon? Ckckck… Don't pretend to be busy to cover up your poverty! Tch, what a pitiful life you have since marrying that man!”

"Jasmine, just so you know I'm happy living with Henry!" denied Lily defensively.

Jasmine raised an eyebrow. "Happy? What kind of happiness? Your marriage used to be celebrated simply. Look at Judith’s fate, look at that, even the dress is worth thousands of dollars. She has a good fortunate to be married to the only son of the Nelson family.”

Lily took a deep breath, she was still trying to keep smiling at Jasmine. “Yes, she is indeed very lucky get a rich man But I'm no less lucky, Henry is a very kind husband.”

Jasmine waved her hand while pouting her lips. "Kind-hearted is not enough, Lily. Can't you see how you look now? See that dress you're wearing! I remember you wearing this dress on my wedding day. This model is very outdated. And look at your skin now, it's so dull. You're so different from the Lily I used to know."

Shortly thereafter, the bride and groom who were on stage cut the wedding cake and it was followed by drinking wine together. Cakes were also distributed. From afar, Judith could be seen walking over to Lily and Jasmine's table. She hugged Jasmine with a growing smile. And when she saw Lily, for a few seconds she looked at Lily up and down as if scanning Lily's appearance that day.

“Lily! Gosh I almost didn't recognize you. You are much different now, has your husband never provided a living? Ah, Henry is a lousy husband!” Judith teased bluntly.

Without hugging Lily, she sat down and joined the table with them.

"I almost didn't recognize you, Lily. It turns out that after getting married you…” Judith hung her sentence. She glanced at Jasmine and both of them smiled mockingly.

"Okay, where's your husband? Why aren't you with him? Are you embarrassed to bring him to this party? In the end you have to admit that he doesn't deserve to be part of the Wilson family, right?" said Judith.

She shook her head. "No, I've never been shy. It's just that today Henry got a job call," Lily said with sparkling eyes.

“Ah, a work call. Where? I doubt any company would hire Henry James!” sneered Jasmine again.

Judith seemed to be holding back her laughter while Lily seemed to be trying to defend her husband. "No, I'm pretty sure Henry will get a job this time."

Someone seemed to walk closer to Lily's table and then said loudly. "Do not dream, Lily! Henry's been rejected by more than fifty companies. Today he would also be rejected!”

Lily looked up, she saw Catherine Wilson looking at her. Catherine then sat down at the table. She is Lily's mother.

"Mom, please," said Lily sadly. She began to feel hopeless.

“What I said is true. Just try to call your husband. I'm sure he got rejection!” said Catherine confidently, as if she really knew what had happened in the Bizzare Group. "What are you waiting for? Call your husband right now!"

Feeling pressured, Lily finally took out her cell phone and called her husband.

“Turn on the loudspeaker,” asked Catherine.

Lily took a deep breath and followed her mother's request. "Hey honey, where are you? Did the interview go well?” asked Lily when the phone connected.

For a moment, there was a sound of deep breathing from the other side. "I am sorry, Honey. I’m failed, it even turned out that they called for an interview just to insult me. I'm sorry I couldn't make you happy."

Jasmine and the others burst out laughing instantly. Meanwhile, Henry who heard the sound of laughter felt shocked. He remembered that today Lily went to Judith's wedding.

“See? It's a waste, you were wrong to marry Henry,” Judith sneered smugly.

Lily quickly turned off her cell phone. She didn't want Henry to hear her cousin's words.

"H-he just hasn't had any luck, Mom," Lily said almost holding back a sad cry. She felt really sad and deppressed.

Meanwhile, Henry, who had heard laughter, was sure that Lily must have been bullied. So, he rushed to Judith's party to pick up Lily.
