Everyone had different opinions, but they were all reasonable ones, so there was no need to argue with each other.
When Matilda put it like this, Yolanda had nothing else to say. All her escape paths were easily blocked by Matilda.
Sitting on the sofa, Sophia laughed at Matilda’s words. She said that even though Matilda had changed, her old
personality remained, as in that she was still so formidable and spoke so mercilessly.
Matilda sighed. “It’s true that an opponent like Yolanda makes me very irritable.”
After all, Yolanda had been around them for a long time in her marriage to William. When they were not yet
divorced, the two had quarreled all day about Yolanda. Now that she recalled that period, she still felt that it was
really upsetting.
After the divorce, Matilda was unsure about what kind of relationship went on between Yolanda and William. She
originally wanted to ask William about it, but now that she thought about it, she didn’t feel there was a need to do

Some questions were pointless and would only make oneself unhappy.
After that, Old Mrs. Constance said, “I asked William about it after you two got divorced. He said that he didn’t like
her.”
Matilda smiled. “I think so too.”
Sophia could feel Matilda’s unhappiness about this matter. Thus, she immediately changed the subject and talked
about how she saw Dylan and Lady Jennifer going out the previous day
Then, she told them about the mean words she had said to Lady Jennifer. Old Mrs. Constance and Matilda both
laughed. Then, the old lady looked at Sophia and said, “Your Aunt Jennifer already has negative opinions about you.
If you speak to her like that, she may become even more dissatisfied about your attitude in the future.” Sophia
didn’t care about this at all, so she chuckled and replied, “Since she doesn’t have a good impression of me and I
don’t expect her to change her mind, there’s not much difference whether she likes me or not.” Not long after she
said this, the subject of the conversation arrived at the main building. Lady Jennifer had come over with a smug
expression on her face. Her laughter rang out before she even entered the door as she called out, “Oh, everyone is
here!” Sophia suppressed her volume and whispered to Matilda, “Look, she must be here to show off about that
dinner she had with Dylan’s girlfriend yesterday.” Although Matilda quirked the corners of her mouth, she looked
composed as she said to Lady Jennifer, “Yeah, I just came here not long ago. Come in and sit with us.” Lady Jennifer
came in, swaying her hips. Then, she sat directly opposite Sophia. Without waiting for the others to ask, she spoke
first. “I had dinner with Dylan’s girlfriend yesterday and came back quite late. I came back to clean the house and
slept rather late, so I didn’t wake up early today. I’ve just eaten and thought of coming out for a stroll, so here I
am.” No one asked her anything; she said everything herself. A moment later, Old Mrs. Constance asked, “How did
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe dinner with Dylan’s girlfriend yesterday go? What was the conversation like?” The smile on Lady Jennifer’s face
was a bit fake.
“It was pretty good. That girl is nice, and I’m very satisfied.” Sophia really wanted to roll her eyes. What’s the use of
you being satisfied? The main point should be whether Dylan was satisfied. Unexpectedly, Matilda voiced Sophia’s
thoughts out loud. “What does Dylan think about her?” Taken aback, Lady Jennifer quickly said, “Dylan is also
satisfied. He likes that girl very much. He told me that he has liked that girl for a long time.” In response, Sophia
looked away. It wasn’t that she looked down on Dylan’s so-called girlfriend, but what he said to herself before was
rather at odds with what Lady Jennifer was saying now. She really didn’t like people lying in front of her. After that,
Matilda and Old Mrs. Constance didn’t say anything anymore. Lady Jennifer muttered to herself, “I’m thinking about
inviting the girl’s parents out. The two families should sit down and have a good talk. As the girl and Dylan are about
the same age, I’m sure that her family also wishes to talk about marriage.”
