She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor

Chapter 696: Chapter 696: Whoever bullies me, I will bully back

Old Lady Mrs. Knox fiercely furrowed her brow, slamming her palm on the table, "Does this family even see me, this old woman, in their eyes anymore?"

Natalie Rogers glanced at the old lady’s dark face, her eyes shifted, and she smiled, "Mom, of course we see you in our eyes, and we know you like this girl, but regarding this marriage alliance, Silas and I are Alexander’s parents, no matter what, we have a say in this matter as well."

Natalie’s words were impeccably crafted, and Old Lady Mrs. Knox snorted coldly, "You both are quite proactive about this issue; why didn’t I see you two caring about Alexander so much before?"

"Exactly, we got frightened by Alexander and Mia’s marriage before; we are scared of him running into a woman with bad character again. This time, we definitely have to ensure someone like that has no chance to enter our family, tarnishing our reputation."

Isla Sue couldn’t listen anymore; she directly slammed the table, walked over to Aria’s side in big strides, and pulled Aria behind her.

"Though the Richardson Family doesn’t have the pedigree of the Knox Family, the daughters of the Richardson Family are not to be insulted casually by you.

I can’t bear to speak harshly to my own daughter; what right do you have to slander her without reason? It seems there’s no point in discussing this marriage any further today."

Natalie Rogers snorted coldly, "It’s because you can’t educate your daughter properly that she’s so reckless."

"How is she reckless? In these photos, apart from having a few drinks, she didn’t behave improperly at all."

"Who knows how open she plays in private, where we can’t see. Mrs. Richardson, you really shouldn’t disbelieve; be careful my words don’t come true."

Aria Richardson stood quietly, listening to Natalie Rogers’ constant insinuations of impropriety and bad character, full of sarcasm.

Aria Richardson smirked slightly, lifted her water cup, took a sip, and walked forward, "Auntie, have you already concluded about me just based on these?"

"Isn’t this enough?"

Aria shook her head, "Actually, I love going to bars, not like a lady from a noble house; I have a bad temper, for instance..."

Aria lifted her hand and splashed half a cup of cold water directly on Natalie Rogers’ face.

"Ah!"

Natalie Rogers shuddered all over, instantly stood up, her face wet, looking utterly miserable.

"Are you crazy?"

Aria thumped her cup heavily on the table, smiled, and said, "Sorry, Auntie, but a person like me who lacks upbringing will retaliate if bullied, without exception."

Natalie Rogers slammed the table, "Alexander, look at the woman you want to marry."

Alexander Knox’s face darkened, "Mom, you were over the line today."

"I was over the line? I’m only doing this for your own good." Natalie Rogers was beside herself with anger, and she glared at Silas Knox, "Silas, say something! Your son wants to go against me for a woman, are you mute?" noveldrama

With the situation as it was today, everyone could see it was bad; Silas Knox pursed his lips, and regarding the marriage between the Knox and Richardson families, he did not agree either.

It’s not just about Aria; also, because though both Knox and Richardson are rich, they are not in the same league.

The Knox Family could previously form alliances with powerful families like the Fullers, and the Richardson Family truly is trying to marry up.

Yet, today Silas knew his wife’s words were somewhat overboard.

Silas Knox furrowed his brow in contemplation for a while, helplessly stood up, and expressed, "If we’re discussing alliances, the Richardson Family is indeed out of our consideration range, moreover, I don’t think either child is suitable. Alexander needs a wife who can stand on equal ground with him, instead of someone like..."

Silas paused for a moment, feeling the next words would hurt self-esteem, choosing not to continue, and said, "Let’s just leave today’s meal as it is."

Miac Richardson and Isla Sue could both hear it clearly.

Ultimately, they still think the Richardson Family’s power doesn’t match theirs.

But Miac Richardson didn’t want to miss this marriage alliance opportunity, he accompanies with a smile, "Chairman Knox, actually, our Aria usually doesn’t behave like that, the child was impulsive just now."

With that, Miac Richardson glared at Aria angrily, sternly said, "Aria, what are you saying, quickly apologize to Mrs. Knox."

Aria’s eyelashes quivered as she looked at her father, full of disappointment.

Isla Sue resolutely defended Aria, "Why should Aria apologize? Miac Richardson, can’t you see your daughter was being mistreated?"

Miac Richardson’s face turned terrifyingly dark, "You’re still defending her even now? She’s spoiled by you, quickly apologize."

Aria’s eyes reddened, stubbornly looked at Miac Richardson, "No way."

She hadn’t done wrong; why should she apologize?

Natalie Rogers wiped her face, curled her lips into a cold smile, "See, she doesn’t even listen to her father, who can endure such a character."

"That’s enough, you should stop talking too." Silas Knox pulled Natalie Rogers aside.

Old Lady Mrs. Knox held Aria’s hand, "Aria, you’ve been wronged. Grandma knows you’re not like that."

Aria looked calmly at Old Lady Mrs. Knox, "It’s okay, Grandma Knox. I’m leaving now."

Having said that, Aria turned straight away, walking away without looking back.

"Aria." Alexander Knox immediately followed, while Natalie Rogers pulled Alexander Knox back at once.

"Stop, Alexander, your dad and I have already made our stance, I don’t agree with this matter."

Alexander Knox’s expression sharpened, and he stared at Natalie Rogers, "Let me tell you, this is my matter, whether you agree or not has little impact on me."

Natalie Rogers’ brow twitched.

His words meant that he was determined to marry this woman.

Aria had just exited the private room and saw Lily Armstrong standing outside.

Lily Armstrong crossed her arms, raised her brows slightly, and swept her gaze lightly over Aria.

"Has Miss Richardson recognized reality now?"
