Mommy，We Got a Husband
Chapter 174 The Scheming Woman

Now that the Knight family and the Nash family fell out, Marigold was particularly resistant to meeting anyone from the Nash family. Unexpectedly, Orion showed up today. "Hello, Mrs. Marigold." She used to call her mother, but now she had to change it.

"Why did Orion come over?" Marigold was completely surprised by Orion's visit. "I just heard about your mother's situation."

"It was sudden, but the doctor says there is hope; you needn't worry it.." Orion said.

"I can't help much, just worrying." Marigold, seeing Orion carrying so many gifts, asked, "Did Orion come over for something specific today?"

"Excessive warmth from certain people often implies ulterior motives." Harry said at this moment.

"What did you say?" Orion questioned Harry upon hearing his words.

"I didn't say anything. I'm just reading. The book also mentions that some people show their kindness may hide conspiracies." After saying this, Harry pretended to continue reading and added. "They say a woman's mind is the worst, just as difficult as to deal with bad people."

Upon hearing Harry's insults, Orion was furious. She then said to Marigold, "Mrs. Marigold, since Caspian is studying, let's go to the room to talk so as not to disturb him."

"Alright." The two then went upstairs to the study.

Seeing Orion and Marigold entering the study, Harry stood up, covered his buttocks, and followed them upstairs without knocking, directly pushing the door open.

"Caspian, weren't you studying in the hall? Why did you come up?" Marigold was especially worried when she saw him coming up. "You have injuries, so try not to move around too much."

"I'm afraid you two bad women are conspiring to do something bad." Harry bluntly said. Orion and Marigold were indeed bad women.

"Caspian, what nonsense are you talking about!" Orion was furious upon hearing Harry's words, looking like she was about to hit him.

Harry pretended to be very scared and quickly hid behind Marigold, saying with a trembling voice, "Grandma, Orion is going to hit me again. She always hits me like this before."

"If you dare to talk nonsense again!"

"Grandma." Harry pretended to be very scared and started crying.

"Caspian, don't cry, Caspian, don't be afraid. I am here; I will protect you." Marigold quickly comforted Harry, then reprimanded Orion, "Caspian is my precious grandson. I can't bear to scold him, let alone let an outsider like you yell at him." Orion was furious upon hearing Marigold's words and cursed Marigold tens of thousands of times in her heart.

This old witch had been so unkind to Caspian before, but now that she knew he was her grandson, she was spoiling him.

But Orion had come with a purpose, so she had to endure it. She reluctantly swallowed her anger and apologized insincerely. "I had a bad attitude just now, Caspian, don't be mad at me."

Harry pretended to twitch his nose, then looked at Marigold with a pitiful expression and said, "Grandma, this woman is bad. You should stay away from her. Although you are quite bad, too, you need to repent and stay away from such a bad woman. It's not good for you."

Orion was speechless.

"Caspian, I was wrong before. I apologize to you. And I came here today to discuss something with Mrs. Marigold. You go out and study first. After we finish, I will leave immediately and never come to bother you again, okay?"

"No!" Harry bluntly refused. "I said, I'm afraid you two are plotting something harmful. I must listen to whatever you say. If you don't let me listen, then you should leave now."

"Marigold, let's discuss matters. It might not be convenient with Caspian here."

"If you don't let me stay here, I'll jump from here right away!" Before Marigold could respond, Harry threatened.

"No, no, no, please don't!" Marigold was frightened and quickly held Harry, saying, "Caspian, you can't have any accidents. You stay here, right here."

After comforting Harry, Marigold turned to Orion and said, "Caspian is just a child. It's fine for him to be here. Orion, what do you want to discuss with me?"

Orion felt disgusted. She didn't expect Marigold to spoil the child to this extent.

But with Caspian present, she had to take care of her words.

Caspian had always liked Galatea. If she spoke ill of Galatea in front of him, it might backfire.

"Grandma, bad Auntie, you talk. I'll just be quiet" Harry sat on the sofa and remained silent.

Orion thought for a moment and then changed her approach, saying, "Actually, I have no other business coming here. I just wanted to settle things with the Knight family and give a blessing."

"A blessing." Marigold was completely puzzled. "We don't have any celebrations at home. Why give a blessing?"

"Isn't Alaric about to marry Galatea soon? How is that not a cause for celebration?" Orion said. "My mother is in this state, and they are planning to have a wedding. I'm not in the mood to attend, so I thought I'd come early today to offer my congratulations."

"Who told you that Alaric is going to marry Galatea?" Marigold's expression changed immediately upon hearing this.

Seeing Marigold's change in expression, Orion felt secretly pleased, while Harry couldn't help but feel angry.

Why was Marigold opposing this now?

"Mrs. Marigold, don't you know that Alaric and Galatea are getting married? All the Nexus Innovations employees know. Galatea is now in the company, and everyone calls her Young Madam."

"Nonsense!" Marigold said angrily. "My son is getting married, and as his mother, how could I not know? How could outsiders know? Who started these rumors?"

"So it's just a rumor." Orion deliberately said, "I thought it was true. But Mrs. Marigold, my relationship with Alaric is all in the past. If he wants to marry Galatea, I sincerely wish them well. You should really meet Galatea. She is so beautiful, and it is no wonder Alaric was captivated by her. Such a beautiful woman, every man would lose control."

Harry, listening on the side, was stunned by Orion's praise for his mother.

So this was flattery.

Orion was truly a cunning and malicious woman!

"I've said this is a rumor. I will investigate those who started the rumors and those who spread them. Orion, if you have nothing else, please leave."

"Okay, Mrs. Marigold. Caspian, I'm leaving." Orion waved to Harry before leaving, almost making Harry nauseous.
