"Cynthia, I don't think there's any need for us to continue talking with this cousin of yours," Sisley said a little angrily.
Cynthia looked at her irritated expression and stared blankly at Everleigh, "Everleigh, what did you say to them?"
"Nothing. I was just chatting with them. I don't know why they're angry. Cynthia, you should really open your eyes when making friends. It's not good for them to be so hot- tempered," Everleigh responded while feigning embarrassment, acting as if she was only looking out for her cousin.
She knew that they would not say anything nice, so she might as well speak first.
Cynthia was well aware of what had happened anyway.
Upon hearing her words, she became a little mad. What did she mean that she needed to open her eyes when she was making friends? Did she look like a blind person?
"You... You're the evil one, and yet you're complaining."
"I'm not the evil one who's complaining, I'm just stating the facts," Everleigh said coldly.
She was not afraid of offending them at all.
Cynthia wanted to say something, but after thinking for a while, she decided to hold back her thoughts. "We're all friends here, so let's not take this so seriously. My cousin has been away for many years, and it's normal for us to not be on the same page. Besides, now that she's back, she'll naturally conform to our rules. She won't behave like how she used to. Come on, let's have some drinks to cool down." Her words were a mixture of praises and criticisms.
However, her attitude made Everleigh somewhat suspicious. Previously, she had caused such a scene because of the liver dish, but now, she was speaking for her, albeit not very pleasantly.
However, her attitude really called for suspicion. Could it be...
Cynthia handed her a glass and said, "Everleigh, I don't know what you like to drink, so I randomly mixed one for you."
"Thank you." Everleigh took it and glanced at the drink. She felt like there was something wrong with it.
The other three exchanged looks when they saw her not drinking it. "Why aren't you drinking it? Don't tell me you don't want to drink the beverage that Cynthia made for you?" Sisley said, not hiding the disgust on her face.
Everleigh set the glass down and decided that she was really not going to touch it.
"Yes, I don't really drink. It's not healthy, but if Cynthia doesn't mind, she can get me a glass of water," she said in a low voice.
She had a strong dislike for the drink.
Cynthia and her three friends had looks of dissatisfaction on their faces. Was she really regarding herself as a noble young lady who could control others at will? She came from the humble Trevino family. What was there to be proud of?
Cynthia was very upset, but for the sake of her own plan, she could only pour water silently for Everleigh.
At that moment, Alexander caught sight of their actions.
Ralph, who was standing beside him, looked in their direction and said, "Your cousin seems to be in trouble. Cynthia doesn't like her very much."
Alexander's face turned cold. He did not say anything, but his nervousness showed.
Just as Cynthia was about to pass the glass of water to Everleigh, Cecil bumped into her from behind.
Cynthia was instantly enraged, "Are you blind?" "Sorry, I stepped on my own dress." Cecil's proud expression agitated Cynthia.
"You... You did that on purpose, didn't you?" Cynthia fumed.
Everleigh and the three girls got up and went over to them. Cecil immediately strode to Everleigh's side and pretended to be wronged, "Everleigh, look at her. I already said that it was an accident but she refused to forgive me. Will she only calm down when she pushes me to the ground?"
Cynthia was so furious that she could hardly breathe.
"You..."
"Alright, it wasn't intentional. Why are you still making such a fuss? Is it fun to have people's eyes on you?" Everleigh used her eyes to point to the side, and a few people were indeed looking their way.
Cynthia could not release her anger, so she could only seethe with rage. However, Linda and the others were aware of their surroundings and knew that they should not make a scene, so they tried to subdue her.
"Come on, let's have some juice to cool down." Shirley passed a glass to Cynthia.
She could not decline it, so she angrily downed the drink.
