Chapter 368 The Jones Family is in Trouble
Holly lowered her eyes, looking somewhat sad.
Her cousin, Maddox Vanderbilt, standing next to her, immediately said, "Holly, don't worry, we would never be close with someone from the countryside. How could she compare to you? Tobias and Gage both said that no one in high society would truly accept her. She's just a joke."
Holly suddenly looked up, "Maddox, you must never say that in front of Alexander."
"Alexander is biased," Maddox pouted. "Why can't I say it? I'm just stating facts. If my grandfather were in charge, he would never let that country girl in."
Holly looked behind Maddox, very angry, "Maddox, how can you say that? She's your cousin. Even if others call her a country girl, you shouldn't!"
"Holly, at a time like this, you're still defending her?" Maddox was really puzzled. "Why is it that as soon as she comes back, Alexander wants to kick you out? Gage has analyzed it; she must have said something to Alexander. She hasn't even entered the family yet and she's already jealous of you!"
The more Kai listened, the more his brow furrowed, and he couldn't help but speak up, "Maddox, Savannah hasn't even come back yet. Don't listen to outside rumors. Don't you have any discernment?"
It was clear that Kai was very unhappy, his face darkened, "She doesn't even know Holly exists, how could she be jealous?"
Maddox showed no remorse, "Kai, think about it. Does she really not know? Alexander must have told her. Otherwise, why hasn't he let you see her after all these days? She must be the one stirring things up!"
Kai's hands clenched slightly, "Shut up!"
"Kai, the kid's grown up. Just teaching him like this won't work." At this moment, Indigo walked over and slapped Maddox across the face!
Maddox was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief, "Grandpa?"
Indigo, who had always doted on him, actually hit him?
Indigo glanced at Holly, then fixed his gaze on Maddox, "The one being brought back is your cousin. If I hear you call her a country girl again, you'll go back to your dad. And Maddox, remember, I don't like fools."
Indigo's voice was very deep when he spoke.
The more he spoke like this, the more scared Maddox became.
He didn't understand why Indigo was angry.
Clearly, they weren't that close to that family.
They just found a country girl; he didn't want her as a cousin.
But seeing Kai's expression, it seemed like he really hated him.
Maddox had no choice but to apologize, "Kai, I was wrong. I was just misled by outside people. Grandpa is right, I'm just stupid. Please forgive me. When I see Savannah, I'll apologize to her personally."
Kai's mind was in turmoil, and he said, "Forget it."
People in high society were actually talking about Savannah like this?
Fortunately, Holly was sensible and always spoke up for Savannah.
Kai turned his gaze to Holly, "Holly, don't worry. Your grandpa is just stubborn. He won't really kick you out."
Holly started crying softly, "Grandpa hasn't seen me recently. It's not a big deal. I can leave the Vanderbilt Family, but I'm just worried about Grandpa's health."
"Good girl," Kai was also moved, "As for Grandpa, you have me. As for the Jones family, they're truly despicable!"
Spreading such rumors about Savannah! Calling her a country girl! That was his daughter!
"Don't worry about the Jones family. Gage has been in trouble recently." Indigo took out a handkerchief and coughed heavily, looking a bit tired. He only instructed, "This time, he might not get through it. You all be careful and don't get too involved."
