The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209: Please, I insist.

It was never in Lola’s plan to mess with Melissa. Why bother? Letting her have the marriage Lola was supposed to have with Derek was already enough. But Slater was like a devil whispering in her ear, showing her "how to have fun."

So, with his devilish whispers in her ear, Lola gave it a try. So far, it was... what she would call entertaining.

"See?" Lola chuckled, scrolling through her phone in the backseat of the car. She was looking at Melissa’s social media account. "So cute, Melissa."

Melissa was always active online, flaunting her lavish lifestyle. She’d built quite a following. But recently, everything Melissa had been wearing had been sent secretly by Lola.

Ding!

[From: Jasmine Young

Young Madam, we’re already here. We’ll order for you so it’ll be ready once you arrive.]

Lola pressed her lips together and read the notification without opening it.

"Oh, well..."

"Mommy, you are so pretty today!"

Her attention shifted to the children beside her, smiling at them. "Really?"

"Mhm! You look very rich!" Chacha said. "It’s the first time I’ve seen Mommy dress up so much!"

"Are you going on a date with Father Sir?" Second asked curiously.

Lola’s smile twitched slightly. "I don’t think your Father Sir will be home today, but I have a very important meeting. Can you wish me good luck?"

"Good luck, Mommy~!"

****

In the mall...

Jasmine waited for Lola’s response, but nothing came. Still, she wasn’t discouraged.

"Mom, what time is she going to arrive?" Melissa frowned. "We’ve been waiting for a while now."

"Melissa, just be patient, alright? Nothing comes from being impatient."

Melissa crossed her arms, frowning. "How can she let others wait for her? You’re even older than her! Doesn’t she know the word ’respect’?"

"Melissa, why are you being like this?" Jasmine clicked her tongue. "Mrs. Bennet is Mrs. Bennet. She’s not like any other socialite. We’re lucky she agreed to have tea with us. Do you even understand what that means?"

Jasmine leaned back in her seat. "It means we might be able to help your father with his problems."

Melissa pursed her lips into a thin line, clearly unimpressed.

"Melissa, you’re going to be a married woman soon," Jasmine persuaded. "Once you’re Derek’s wife, you’ll face situations like this. Connections are power in this society, and the bigger your connections, the more you benefit."

"You need to learn how to make people like you and favor you," she added gently. "Sometimes, these ladies will test your patience, but as long as you stay calm, you’ll be fine. The world is round. My patience has kept those who once looked down on me trying to gain my favor. And why is that? Because your mother is a patient woman."

Melissa studied her mother. "What does Mrs. Bennet look like?"

"She’s... quite young, but has expensive taste — I tell you," Jasmine winked. "If people know you’re friends with her, even the women in the Lancasters will want you at their little tea parties."

The tea parties hosted by the Lancasters were famous in high society. Guests were mostly upper-echelon women, and once invited, a family’s social standing could improve considerably.

It wasn’t Melissa’s goal, but Jasmine’s.

Still, now that she thought about it, Melissa really should start building stronger connections.

She’s pretty, Melissa thought, biting her tongue as she massaged her nape. She darted her eyes between Jasmine and Mrs. Bennet, sitting down once Lola did.
