A Vengeful Girl

Chapter 271 A New Granddaughter

The young masters started whispering to each other. They were all wondering if this Lady Haley was

currently engaged.

In their opinion, Lady Haley was not only beautiful, but she was also an heiress to a great amount of

wealth.

"Haley, you haven't officially met these families, have you? Let me introduce to you, " Lord Nalan

beamed.

Apart from Rosy and Devin, Linda indeed had no idea of who the others were.

But she could tell that those who were sitting around the head table were all elders of Nalan clan.

"This is your uncle Lenny."

"Good evening, Uncle Lenny, " Linda stood up and greeted Lenny graciously.

"This is your aunt..."

Linda politely smiled and curtsied in front of each family member that Lord Nalan introduced to her.

The moment Linda sat down, Rosy muttered, "How could someone be so impolite to let all elders wait

for her!"

Linda smiled and ignored her.

But Rosy took Linda's silence as guilt.

She smirked and said in a louder voice, "You're finally here, Haley. Nobody dared to start eating while

waiting for you."

Everyone knew Rosy was deliberately trying to make things difficult for Linda.

At Rosy's words, Lord Nalan pulled a long face. He snapped at Rosy before Linda spoke, "Are you that

hungry?"

Being scolded by Lord Nalan, Rosy was too frightened to utter one more word.

"Grandpa advised me to get fully prepared. Sorry to keep you waiting, Rosy. If you are hungry, you can

eat first, " Linda said in a tender voice, with a grin.

"Haley, I hope you can forgive Rosy's rudeness. She bears no ill will, " Devin said as he turned to

Linda. It was not the first time that Devin had seen Linda, but he was still captivated by Linda's beauty.

Although Linda's face was covered with evident scars when he saw her the first time, he could tell that

Linda was beautiful. His assumption was proved right.

Devin's words embarrassed Rosy even more.

Knowing there would be many young rich men of famous clans in the party, Rosy dressed up and wore

heavy make-up to steal Linda's spotlight. But it turned out that she was the one being overshadowed.

Rosy felt angry and embarrassed. She pinched Devin's thigh under the table with all her strength to

vent her anger.

How could her brother be on her enemy's side?

"Ouch! Rosy, what are you doing?" Devin cried in pain. He didn't realize that he pissed his sister off.

"Humph!" Rosy rolled her eyes and turned aside.

"Oops, I just forgot to introduce your cousin. Haley, this is..."

Before Lord Nalan could utter Devin's name, Linda said with a smile, "Grandpa, I know him." Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Then, she turned to Devin, with the smile still on her face, "He is Devin Nalan, my cousin. We have met

the other day, haven't we, Devin?"

"Yes! I didn't expect that you would remember me, " Devin said excitedly while gazing at Linda.

"Of course, I remember you, cousin, " said Linda. His name was funny.

That was the real reason Linda still remembered Devin's name.

Of course, she would not let Lord Nalan nor Devin know this.

She made fun of Devin's name with Anna and Lily in private.

Thinking of it, Linda couldn't help but smirk. Lily was the only one who knew why she grinned.

Seeing Linda having a?pleasant conversation with Devin, Rosy rolled her eyes again.

Then, she glimpsed at Lily, who was sitting next to Linda, and said in a demeaning tone, "Lily, this head

table is for Nalan family members only. You better move to the other tables."

Rosy was right. The head table was indeed for Nalan family members.

Lily didn't care about where she sat.

She just wanted to take good care of Linda as Anna had instructed.

"Fine. I am going to move to other tables, " Lily said as she stood up.

Rosy said with a mocking smile, "You shouldn't have sat down here. Do you think you are one of

masters of the Nalan clan? You are ridiculous!"

Lily didn't want to argue with Rosy.

It was Linda who took her into the Nalan clan. Lily would've been lost without her.

She was grateful to Linda, so Lily didn't want to cause any trouble to Linda.

"Sorry, Lady Rosy. I am leaving now, " said Lily.

"Hurry up." Rosy urged Lily disrespectfully.

Linda was upset. Rosy was humiliating Lily!

Before she said anything, Lenny scolded Rosy, "Language! Rosy. How could you be so rude? Your

grandfather is the one who has a say about this, not you!"

Criticized by her father in front of many guests, Rosy felt mortified. Her eyes filled with tears. "Father..."

she said.

"Apologize to Miss Jiang, " Lenny ordered Rosy.

"What? No way! Why should I apologize to her?" Rosy shouted.

Lenny was pissed off by Rosy's disobedience. He banged on the table as he glared at Rosy with a

stern look.

Linda was also frightened by Lenny.

"All right. Now, I declare Lily as my granddaughter. From now on, she is a part of our family. She can sit

here. Does anyone have any objections?" Lord Nalan said.

Hearing that, Rosy's face turned red with rage. She stood up and said, "I don't feel so good. I want to

go back to my room and rest. I hope you all enjoy the dinner." Then, she marched out of the hall.
