The Real Heiress is Coming Back! Novel - Chapter 168

Chapter 168 Chapter 168 470 18:56 vauchais Pamela's slow, firm tone instantly shut down the doctor, who had been about to shower Daisy with more praise. Her words landed like a silent slap, making everyone in the room feel the sting. Daisy's smile grew awkward. It was as if Pamela was inviting everyone to question whether she was really the Nameless Healer. If it had been anyone else, Daisy would've "politely" refused to treat them anymore. But Pamela was just as powerful as the Reese family matriarch, so there was nothing Daisy could do. "Mom, are you mixing things up?

Since when do you have a granddaughter-in-law?" Teresa said, trying to break the awkward silence. She went on, "Do you want Daisy to be your granddaughter-in-law? Honestly, I think it's a great idea. Magnus is at the right age to settle down, and they're both from great families, it's a perfect fit." Daisy hesitated, searching for the right words to turn Teresa down. She only had eyes for Barnaby, no one else would ever do. "Absolutely not!" But Pamela spoke up before Daisy could even respond. 'Magnus marrying Hannah is my first choice.

If Owen can't handle it, his older brother will take his place, Pamela thought to herself. "I've already found the right candidate for him. Once I've done my homework, I'll arrange for them to meet," Pamela declared. First, her medical skills were questioned, and now her reputation was shot down. Daisy's smile froze awkwardly on her face. Sure, she only had eyes for Barnaby and would never marry anyone else, but she was still the Reese family heiress, one of the four big families, and Brynlock's top socialite. Yet she wasn't even good enough for Pamela?

That kind of blow made jealousy start to creep in, fueled by the sting of disappointment. "Mom, seriously, is there anyone in Brynlock who's got more to offer than Daisy?" Teresa asked. She was genuinely fond of Daisy, and with both families being so well-matched, a marriage alliance with the Reese family would make the main branch of the Croft family untouchable. But in the Croft family, she still had to show respect to Pamela. "Let's keep it a secret for now," Pamela just smiled, keeping her lips sealed.

She knew exactly how Teresa operated, if she gave away even a hint, Teresa would be all over it, probably end up hating the candidate, and might even go out of her way to intimidate them. So Pamela made sure to stay mysterious on purpose. With Pamela keeping quiet, Teresa had no choice but to let it go for now. 'Fine, I'll just have someone dig up the info myself later, she thought, a little annoyed but determined. "Thank you for all your care and treatment, Miss Reese. My health is much improved now, so there's no need for you to continue coming by," Pamela said to Daisy.
