SWNOVELS Chapter 15
Chapter 15 You Are My Wife Now
Phoebe had always been afraid of this older brother of hers. His presence was overpowering, and his gaze could freeze someone from ten feet away. She subconsciously grabbed Kayla’s arm, her fingertips involuntarily clenching.
Immediately, Kayla explained, “Phoebe didn’t mean it that way. She’s just concerned that this woman hasn’t been schooled. She looks like she doesn’t know how to read, and her appearance is similar to that of the cleaning staff in the company.”
Levi’s attitude was dominant, and coupled with his all-black outfit today, he looked cold and noble. “Even so, she is your sister-in-law. Are you disregarding the rules of the Foley Family?”
As Kayla gritted her teeth, fury burned inside her, but she dared not let it out. Why is Levi treating this woman well all of a sudden? If things continue like this, it will become increasingly unfavorable for us in the future. We must find an opportunity to deal with her.
Under Levi’s intimidating gaze, Phoebe dared not speak. At this moment, the atmosphere became oppressive and stifling.
Surprised, Rebecca looked at the man not far away, for she didn’t expect him to actually stand up for her, which gave her a slightly favorable impression of him. After all, a man who doesn’t protect his wife is not good.
Just then, Maurice cleared his throat and spoke. “Let Rebecca join as an ordinary employee for now. We don’t need to conduct an interview, but the media outside is not aware that Levi’s now married, so let’s keep your relationship with Rebecca a secret for now. It’s better for Rebecca this way too.”
This was exactly what Rebecca had in mind. After all, she didn’t want to become the enemy of all the female employees in the company. “Okay, I have no problem with that.”
Maurice was relieved by her response.
After Phoebe returned to her room, she threw all the high-end cosmetics on the table to the ground. “Why should we let that woman into the company? With her appearance, she’s simply embarrassing the Foley Family.”
Yet, Kayla didn’t share the same view. She went up and held Phoebe’s hand, preventing her from throwing more things. “Don’t worry. Let’s look at it from a different perspective. It can still benefit us. Grandpa only allowed her to be an ordinary employee, and our positions are higher than hers. Do you think she will have an easy time in the company?”
“Didn’t you see that Levi is already protecting her? I’m afraid…” Phoebe thought Rebecca would pose a great threat to them.
“He’s usually busy, and there will be times when he can’t protect her. That’s when we can take action, right? Think about it; we are family, and only Rebecca is an outsider.” In other words, no matter how deeply Rebecca captured Levi’s heart, the two of them had grown up with him since childhood. The bond of kinship and loyalty was something an outsider like Rebecca was no match for.
Back in the room, Levi handed Rebecca a card. “This is a supplementary card with unlimited credit. Feel free to buy whatever you want. Even if I haven’t arranged a good position for you, you should at least have a few outfits.”
She waved her hand politely. “It’s fine. I still have some money on me, and it’s enough to buy a few more clothes.”
“Just take it.” He insisted as he stuffed the card into her hand. “You are my wife now. We can’t live frugally like in the countryside.”
Hearing that, she wanted to say that she wasn’t living a frugal life at all; it was just that she was a low-key person who didn’t want to attract unnecessary attention. As the saying went, the higher the rise, the harder the fall. She didn’t want to cause trouble for herself without reason. Even though she was being low-key, the members of the Foley Family still didn’t treat her well. If she revealed her true self, those people might constantly scheme against her.
“Alright.” She decided to accept it for now since she wouldn’t be using his card anyway.
After Levi saw her accept the card, he relaxed his furrowed brows.
