SWNOVELS Chapter 78: Don't You Dare Speak of My Mother
Tina and Jared pushed open the door of the private room, and all eyes turned toward them. Elizabeth immediately stood up, scolding Tina furiously, "You troublemaker! Are you unaware of what day it is? Making all these people wait for you, how dare you?"
"Yeah, this is the engagement party, and you're acting so high and mighty, not caring about anyone here. If you really marry Mr. Farrell, you'll be even more stuck up!" Annie, who had always disliked Tina and had been waiting for a long time, was already fuming with anger.
Tina glanced at them indifferently, "Did I invite you?"
When Logan and Hugo were discussing the engagement arrangements, they had decided on two tables, and none of these Reed family members were included.
At the moment, she just took one look and saw that just the Reed family alone occupied three tables. They had come uninvited and were now blaming her?
"Do you have no manners? Can't you be told off when you make a mistake? Is this how your mother taught you?" Elizabeth shouted angrily.
Tina's expression darkened, she stepped forward to Elizabeth and said coldly, "Don't speak of my mother! You're unworthy!"
"You!" Elizabeth felt a pang in her chest from anger.
Seeing this, Hugo quickly stepped between the two, "Mom, if you're here to attend the party, we welcome you, but if you're here to cause trouble for Tina, please leave. Today is her engagement party, and I don't want everyone to be upset." "Slap!" Elizabeth swung her hand across, her face filled with rage, "You ungrateful dog, I am your mother! I came to attend my granddaughter's engagement party, and you dare to send me away in front of all these people? What? You think you can act tough because you've cozied up to the Farrell family? I tell you, as long as I live, the Reed family will not be under your control!"
"Mrs. Reed, you slap my father-in-law in front of me, treating me like I'm dead?" Jared's eyes narrowed, his voice chillingly cold.
Elizabeth's body shook, but she still argued righteously, "Mr. Farrell, although he is your father-in-law, he is also my son. I have the right to discipline my son, don't I?"
She didn't want to make a scene today, mainly because Tina made them wait too long.
She had apologized to the Farrell family several times already, fearing the marriage would be called off.
She had worked hard to ensure Tina's marriage would go ahead, so was she wrong to criticize her?
Now Tina was disregarding her, Hugo showed no respect, and even Jared embarrassed her in public; she was so angry she couldn't care less about face anymore.
"You may discipline your son, but today is my engagement party. You slap my father-in-law in public; where does that leave the face of my Farrell family?" Jared asked, hands in his pockets, his tone neither high nor low.
"I..."
Elizabeth wanted to say more, but Amber suddenly interrupted, "Mr. Farrell, I apologize, grandma was just anxious and spoke too harshly. The engagement party has been delayed for too long, let's start it now, everyone has been waiting for a long time... Mr. Farrell, your leg?"
Amber stopped mid-sentence, suddenly realizing something, and looked towards Jared's leg, shocked.
What happened?
How could Jared be standing up?
Elizabeth, still in her anger, turned to look at Jared's leg upon hearing Amber's words, and was stunned, "This... Mr. Farrell, your leg is healed?"
Just an hour ago, Jared was still in a wheelchair. How could it be that after a short trip, his leg was cured?
When Jared was disabled, Logan pampered him so much; he almost handed over the entire Farrell family to him. If Jared's leg was healed, wouldn't he be even more favored?
The rest were also stunned by Jared, unable to utter a word.
Jared ignored them, took Tina's hand, and went directly to the main table.
Elizabeth and Hugo, direct relatives of the Reed family, were supposed to sit at a table with the Farrell family members.
As they entered, the Farrell family noticed Jared's leg. Marie stood up in shock, looking at him, "Jared, your leg is healed?"
The rest of the Farrell family looked over, their expressions varied as their minds raced.
Jared glanced at them and then said, "Thanks to Tina, on the way to find her, I met a remarkable person who just used acupuncture, and my leg was cured."
The crowd was astonished, "Who is so skilled that they can cure a disabled person with just one acupuncture session?"
"Could it be Spectre? I've heard he has amazing medical skills, capable ofbringing the dead back to life and healing broken bones. A disability is nothing for him."
"Jared is so lucky to have encountered Spectre. It's said that Spectre's whereabouts are unpredictable, and despite many people offering large sums of money for a consultation, they can't find him." Amber listened to everyone's discussion, her fingers tightly clasped together.
She couldn't have imagined that Jared's leg would be healed.
And on the day of the engagement party.

If Jared's leg was healed, he would no longer be considered useless, and Logan might let him take over the Farrell family's business.
Given the extent of Logan's affection for Jared, it was possible that he would be designated the successor of the Farrell family.
Annoyed in her heart, Amber thought had she known this would happen, she wouldn't have declined this union. If Jared became the successor, she would be the true Mrs. Farrell.
Marie was the most excited; she held Jared and looked at him for a long time, crying, "Your leg is healed, truly healed. Now, I can rest easy."
At that moment, she thought of something and turned to Logan, "Dad, since Jared's leg is healed, then this marriage..."
Before she could finish, Logan interrupted her coldly, "Jared's recovery is a great joy; it indicates that Tina is a blessed child. When she marries into the Farrell family, our family will thrive even more." "But..."
Marie opened her mouth to speak, but Logan glared at her, and she had to keep silent.
Logan didn't pay her any more attention but turned to Hugo, "Hugo, the engagement ceremony can begin now."
Hugo nodded, "Mr. Farrell, it would be best if you led the wedding ceremony."
Logan nodded and did not refuse, standing up and saying, "Today is the engagement party of my grandson Jared and Tina Reed. First, I wish them a united heart and soul, a hundred years of harmony, and a happy and prosperous life."
