Chapter 347 I Won’t Be a Burden

• Shelly did not like Kris at all and she might even go so far as to say she detested her. She could tell that the woman was only dating Gideon to gain something from the rest of the Walton Family. The only reason why she had yet to confront Kris was because Gideon had told her not to, but that didn’t stop Shelly from throwing pointed looks at the woman every now and then.
• Presently, upon seeing that Kris was about to muck things up, Shelly shot her a stern look, as though silently telling her to pull it together. Catching the older woman’s frosty gaze, Kris managed a nonchalant façade, though her fists clenched tightly at her sides. She gritted her teeth as she thought grimly, Once I get everything I want, I’m going to cut off all ties with the Walton Family and I won’t have to take any crap from this old woman ever again!
• The next moment, she was holding onto Gideon’s arm as they made their rounds in the banquet hall to greet the guests. She looked pale despite the smile that was firmly plastered on her face, and she grew reluctant to clink glasses with the guests. Gideon was no gentleman, which meant she was forced to down all the drinks after the guests toasted to her and while she had only taken sips at each turn, she had ended up downing what felt like glasses of wine after going around the hall.
