Chapter 60 What A Cute Old Lady
Before Annalise could speak, Julian spoke first. “Yes, Aunt Cassandra. She’s my wife, Annalise.”
“I heard that you’re from the countryside?” Cassandra looked at Annalise and asked, her tone carrying a hint of scrutiny.
“Yes,” Annalise replied in neither a servile nor overbearing manner.
There were many young men and women sitting on the sofa. Abigail, Alexander, and Tony were also there.
Hearing Cassandra’s question, everyone turned to look at Annalise. Their eyes were filled with mockery and schadenfreude,
especially Abigail’s. The schadenfreude in her eyes was the most obvious.
“I heard you can’t read?” Cassandra asked again.
“Cassandra!” Julian raised her voice slightly.
Cassandra had always been very good to him and never got involved in Parks Group’s affairs, so he had always respected her.
However, this did not mean that she could bully his wife at will.
Cassandra glared at Julian and suddenly took out a calligraphy painting from behind her. She unfolded it and said to Annalise,
“Read it to me!”
Annalise looked at the calligraphy painting and read it out loud. “To enjoy a grander sight, climb to a greater height.”
Cassandra suddenly stood up, giving Annalise a fright. What was this old woman trying to do?
Julian also subconsciously stood in front of Annalise.
But Cassandra didn’t look at Annalise. Instead, she aimed the calligraphy painting at Abigail and the other youngsters who were
sitting on the sofa.
She shook the calligraphy painting in her hand majestically, making it rustle. Then, she said, “Look at it clearly. This poem was
written in cursive writing, but Annalise read them word for word. As someone who can even read cursive writing, what makes
you think she’s illiterate?”

“You’re all members of the Parks family, so every word and action of yours represents the Parks family. I think you should know
very well how others see us.”
“We are the most powerful family in Jadeborough. In fact, we are the most powerful family in Chanaea, and I’m not bragging. In
the eyes of others, we’re a mythical existence.”
“I hope that every single one of us can live up to our name. Members of an aristocratic family should behave accordingly, as is
expected of us. Not everyone is guaranteed success, but at the very least, we need to practice good values and have good
judgment.”
“Don’t live like a parrot without a brain, where one only knows how to echo what others say.”
“Well said, Cassandra!” Samuel praised.
“Cassandra is right,” Julian immediately uttered.
Annalise was still wary of this old lady just now and did not like her. Now, she found the old lady cute all of a sudden.
Annalise glanced at her and saw a few veins bulging on her forehead. She frowned slightly.
When the time came, she would ask Julian if she needed to treat Cassandra.
Alexander also said to Cassandra, “Great Aunt is right. I will definitely remember your advice.”
He tugged on Abigail’s hand. Abigail could only force a smile and say, “I will definitely remember your words.” Cassandra said in
a dignified manner, “Although Julian is not the oldest in your generation, he is the Parks family’s only legitimate grandson. I hope
that everyone is clear about Julian’s identity and their own identity.” “As a descendant of the Parks family, all of you are aware of
what you should or shouldn’t do.”
“It doesn’t matter if Annalise is from Harington or from the countryside. Since she is married to Julian, she is the Parks family’s
legitimate granddaughter-in-law.”
“If I hear anyone gossiping and spreading rumors behind my back again, I’ll just beat them to death. After all,
1 have a bad temper.”
As she said this, she even picked up the walking stick by the sofa and waved it. Her aura was dignified and scary.

“Yes, Grandmother, we understand.” Cassandra’s granddaughter, Jane, immediately expressed her stance.
Then, they started chatting again.
They were blabbering on and on. They did not speak Chanaease, but Ferropenean.
Jane complained, “Grandma is really old-fashioned. What era is it now? Why is she still sticking to the old rules? What does she
mean by legitimate descendant? It’s a joke.”
Abigail smiled. “Jane, don’t say that about your grandmother.”
Jessy replied, “Jane is right. Legitimate grandson? I’m dying of laughter. Alex is also Uncle Tony’s biological
son.”
Jane responded, “That’s right. Besides, are we looking down on Annalise? It’s her who’s too lousy. She lowers the Parks family’s
standard and embarrasses the family.”
“Abbie is also from Horington. If a woman wants to marry into a rich family, she has to have something to show for it, right? She
either needs to have a good background or be capable.”
“Although Abbie is also from Horington, she is proficient in Ustranasion, Ferropenean, Spasian, and she also knows how to play
the piano and chess, as well as write calligraphy and paint. Furthermore, she is proficient in medicine and has good taste. Not
only does she know how to dress up, but she also has her own clothing brand.”
“Compared to the other socialites in Jadeborough, she’s far from inferior.”
“But what about Annalise? What does she have? I can’t stand how much of a country bumpkin she is. In the future when I meet
people, they might say, ‘I heard that the woman who just married into the Parks family is an incompetent idiot’. Wouldn’t that be
embarrassing for me?”
Alexander knew many languages, and one of them happened to be Ferropenean. Hearing the women’s discussion, he raised his
eyebrows in amusement and quietly looked at Annalise.
Annalise looked calm. It was obvious that she did not understand anything.
Alexander could not help but pick up his teacup. He chuckled and took a sip of tea.

So, why did Alexander marry Abigail?
He married Abigail because he knew she would beat Annalise in all aspects constantly. This was like a slap in Annalise’s face.
He did not believe that his dear brother did not understand the discussion his cousins were having. He also did not believe that
his dear brother would feel comfortable hearing such discussions.
Haha!
If Julian was unhappy, then he would be happy!
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Julian. Julian’s expression was indifferent as if he had no emotions. However, he firmly
believed that Julian must be very angry.
If Julian was angry, what would he do?
Would Julian divorce Annalise or not?
If he didn’t get a divorce from her, he would have to continue enduring Annalise being humiliated.
If he got a divorce from her, Alexander would definitely publicize it and make Julian the joke of the entire city.
*Annie, let’s go back to our room first. We’ll come down for dinner later,” said Julian.
“Okay.” Annalise replied.
Before she went upstairs, she nodded politely at Cassandra, thanking her for speaking up for her.
Cassandra met Annalise’s clear and determined eyes and nodded.
She suddenly understood why Samuel agreed to let Julian marry Anna.
Regardless of her background or education, she was sensible and knew her limits.
According to Samuel, although Anna grew up in the village, her medical skills were good. This could be considered a blessing..
Humans, regardless of gender, would go out and make something for themselves if they could. If they couldn’t do it, they would
settle down at home. As long as they could excel in one aspect of life, they were good.

That was how she educated her children and grandchildren. She only asked them to practice good values and not bully the kind.
She didn’t want them to be lazy or become degenerate. As for whether they could become successful, it all depended on them.
She was open-minded. If one was capable, one should go out into the world and try to make something for oneself. If one was
not, one could stay at home and take care of one’s family. This was already good enough for her.
Upstairs, Julian brought Annalise into the room. His eyes were deep and gentle as he stared at her. He said...
