Chapter 639: The Persistent Goldie Thorne

"I’m not looking at anyone else. I just like this He girl," Goldie Thorne insisted. He wasn’t going to back down unless they gave him a reason.

’He’d finally found someone he liked, but his parents disapproved. If he’d known this would happen, he wouldn’t have gone to the matchmaking meeting in the first place. What a waste of his feelings.’

Raina slapped him and cursed, "That little vixen is no good! Do you plan on wearing a green hat after marrying her? The eaves of our Thorne family home will turn green!"

"You don’t even know her, so how can you say she’s no good? Mom, if you don’t approve, that’s fine, but why do you have to sling mud at her? Honestly!" Goldie Thorne grew even more upset, feeling his mother was being too unreasonable.

Phoebe Huxley said sarcastically, "Oh, Goldie, that little vixen isn’t even part of the family yet, and you’re already forgetting Mom for a wife. You can’t be so heartless."

’Her mother-in-law was always saying her husband forgot his mother after he got a wife. Hmph. She thought Goldie was the one who was truly heartless.’

Felix Thorne glared at her. ’She could never have a moment’s peace,’ he thought, ’always trying to stir up trouble.’ Phoebe Huxley just snorted and started shelling melon seeds for Tang Xiaonan, not the least bit afraid of Felix Thorne.

’She was a modern career woman who could make six or seven yuan a day. If Felix Thorne really ticked her off, she’d just find a new man. Hmph!’

Raina was already furious, and after Phoebe Huxley egged her on, she felt her chest burn with rage. She slapped him several more times, hitting Goldie Thorne so hard his head wobbled, nearly scrambling his brains.

"You think I’d waste my breath slandering that little vixen? Is that the kind of person you think I am? I’ll beat you to death, you black-hearted little animal! Do you know why I disapprove? It’s because Xiaonan dreamed about that vixen the night before last. And do you know what she was doing in the dream?"

Raina punctuated each question with a blow. Goldie Thorne ducked, covering his head, but he looked up immediately upon hearing her words. "What was she doing?"

The moment he looked up, he got another crisp slap across the face. A fiery pain spread across his cheek. Goldie Thorne grimaced, on the verge of tears. ’What did I do to deserve this?’

"That little vixen was sleeping with other men, cuckolding you! Dozens of times over! The very door to our Thorne family home has turned green because of it!"

Raina gritted her teeth, having automatically exaggerated the number of Beatrice’s lovers by several dozen. Goldie Thorne’s expression changed dramatically. He blurted out, "That’s impossible! Xiaonan must have dreamt it wrong."

"Wrong, my foot! When has Xiaonan ever been wrong about a dream? Yesterday, she described this little vixen’s appearance to a T, and one look at her today confirmed it! You don’t even believe Xiaonan? I’ll beat you to death, you worthless, stupid fool! You lose your soul the moment you see a pretty woman!"

This time, it was Felix Thorne who had hit him. ’How dare he say my daughter is wrong? The absolute nerve! He must be itching for a beating.’

Phoebe Huxley pursed her lips. ’Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Felix Thorne is no different. He completely lost his head over that bitch, Phoenix Golding.’

Felix Thorne was much stronger than Raina. A single slap from him felt like it had knocked half the life out of Goldie Thorne, who gasped in pain. He was actually starting to believe them, but he was just too smitten with Beatrice’s beautiful face to give up yet.

"That’s all in the future! If I just keep a tight rein on her, there won’t be any problems."

’Goldie Thorne was sure that Beatrice was innocent for now. As long as he kept a close watch on her after they got married and treated her well, he was certain that this whole cuckolding business would never happen.’

Phoebe Huxley scoffed, "Goldie, are you dense? A seductress like that is promiscuous by nature. You think you can stop her? Besides, how do you even know she’s innocent now? For all you know, she’s already slept with a bunch of guys!"

’Just looking at Beatrice, she didn’t seem like a virgin. She had such a bewitching air about her. A proper girl would never act that way.’

Still, Goldie Thorne wasn’t ready to give up. It was rare for him to be so smitten, and he didn’t want to let go so easily. However, he wasn’t a complete idiot, either. He decided he would investigate Beatrice himself and see what her everyday reputation was actually like.
