Chapter 107.Â
Those words were full of meaning. After Fiona realized it, her heart skipped a beat and she whispered, “Mrs. Dunbar, don’t tease me…”Â
Jovana looked a bit stiff.Â
From the day she married into the Dunbar family, having no family background was like a shackle, locked onto her by Kaitlynn.Â
No matter how hard she tried or how much she tried to please her, Kaitlynn never even looked at her straight once. In her eyes, someone as ordinary as her just wasn’t worthy.Â
Jovana clenched her palm, smiled and walked over, “Is Mrs. Dunbar pregnant with her second child? Looking for a child bride in advance for your kid?”Â
As soon as he finished speaking.Â
The servants around were all shocked, covering their mouths to keep from laughing. Everyone knew Kaitlynn and Tyrone Dunbar didn’t get along and had lived apart for years. What Jovana said was clearly teasing Kaitlynn about cheating…Â
Kaitlynn’s face suddenly darkened, and even her delicate makeup couldn’t hide her anger at wanting to stab Jovana.Â
“Jovana,” Kaitlynn warned in a low voice.Â
Fiona was just as embarrassed and shot Jovana a fierce glare, “Ms. Atherton, how can you have no manners at all? Mrs. Dunbar is your elder!”Â
Kaitlynn sneered, “Fiona, ignore her. Hanging out with someone so rude just brings you down!”Â
Jovana snorted and laughed, totally ignoring Kaitlynn,“Oh, I really didn’t know what manners were.”Â
She looked at Kaitlynn innocently, “Is being well–mannered about mocking and stabbing people in the back? Is it about knowing your son has a family but still trying to find him a mistress? Mrs. Dunbar, why don’t you tell me?”Â
“Poof…” The servant serving tea nearby couldn’t hold it in and just burst out laughing.Â
Fiona blushed and then turned pale.“Ms. Atherton, you really had a petty mind!”Â
Kaitlynn’s face turned pale with anger. She glared at Jovana and said, “Jovana, shut up! You keep arguing with me and show no respect for your elders. Even if I criticize you, you just have to take it!”Â
Kaitlynn was really mad. Jovana used to always act all meek and try to please her, so why did she change now? It was like she turned into a different‘ person.Â
Jovana gave a mocking laugh, her eyes cold as ice.Â
Respect her?Â
She used to try hard to please her because of Armando. She didn’t want things to get tense between her and her mother–in–law, and didn’t want Armando to be stuck in the middle.Â
Now, she didn’t even want Armando. What did that make her?Â

Jovana sneered, “Respect goes both ways. If you didn’t respect me, why should I respect you?”Â
Kaitlynn felt embarrassed and suddenly slapped the table. “You’ve gone too far! Butler! Take her to the ancestral hall for me. The daughter–in–law kept talking back to her mother–in–law and has no manners at all. If we don’t use the family rules, she’ll never learn!”Â
Jovana frowned.Â
The butler was also shocked. The family rules used a whip, and Jovana was such a thin, weak girl–she couldn’t take even one lash!Â
The butler wiped the sweat from his forehead, “Mrs. Dunbar, maybe we should wait until Mr. Armando comesÂ
back…”Â
Hearing that, Kaitlynn frowned a little, looking like she was thinking.Â
Fiona’s eyes dimmed for a moment, then she suddenly sighed and said, “Ms. Atherton really had no manners at all, she actually talked back to you like that. If word got out, it would definitely bring shame to the Dunbar family.”Â
Sure enough, when she heard this, Kaitlynn’s hesitation was completely gone, and the more she looked, the more she thought Jovana looked pissed.Â
“Why aren’t you getting your ass to the ancestral hall yet!”Â
As soon as the words were spoken, two tall, burly servants stepped up to stand next to Jovana and said in a deep voice, “Ms. Atherton, come with us.”Â
“1Â
They called her Ms. Atherton, but they reallyÂ
didn’t respect her at all.Â
In this family, she was like a rat that everyone wanted to beatÂ
up, andÂ
anyoneÂ
could step on her.Â
Jovana’s face looked cold, and she clenched her palm.Â
“I’d like to see who dared touch her!”Â
A cold, harsh voice came from the direction of the door.Â
Jovana paused for a second and looked over instinctively when she heard the voice.Â
Armando wore a black and white suit, and his natural aura was honestly intimidating.Â
He gave a cold glance at the two servants next to Jovana, and they immediately got scared and backed off. All their earlier arrogance was gone.Â
