At the Liang estate.
The housekeeper stood outside the master bedroom and gently knocked on the door. "Mrs. Ma, get up and eat something? Miss Liang asked me to prepare some tonic for you..."
Before she could finish her words, Charlotte Dong shouted in the room, "Get out!"
"Mrs..."
"Don't you hear me asking you to go away? You want me to fire you?"
The housekeeper pursed her lips and embarrassedly withdrew her hand, and restrained herself from knocking on the door again.
"My mother still doesn't want to get up?" Josephine Liang came from the stairs and looked at the closed door with some worries.
"Yes..." The housekeeper nodded.
Josephine frowned with a headache and reached out to knock on the door.
"Didn't you hear me ask you to get out of here?"
"Mom, it's me."
Hearing this, there was no more shouting in the room. "Leave me alone. I want to be quiet."
"But Mom, you haven't eaten anything for so long. How can you do that?" "I don't want to eat. just leave me alone for a while
Josephine Liang didn't say anything. She tried to open the door, but it was locked. She turned to the housekeeper who was still standing beside her and said, "Go and get the spare key at home."
When the housekeeper found the key, Josephine directly opened the door.
She frowned when the door opened.
All the furniture in the room was smashed to the ground by her mom, and it was in a mess. The clothes stained with coffee worn by Charlotte yesterday was cut into countless pieces and thrown there next to the table.
Charlotte was sitting on the bed, face withered, her eyes red and swollen. She was no longer the same as she usually was. She was decadent as if suddenly aged overnight.
"Mom!"
Charlotte glanced up at Josephine, who was standing by the door. Immediately, she felt wronged and began to shed tears again.
"Josephine..."
"Mom, do you know how worried I am? It' not worth risking your health for mad at that bi*ch, Elizabeth, isn't it?
As soon as Charlotte returned home yesterday, she cursed Elizabeth and James for a long time and then cried to her about the humiliation she had suffered in the cafe. After that, she went into her own room and never came out again.
"Josephine..." Charlotte reached out to wipe her tears. She grabbed Josephine's clothes with her quivering hand. "Mom has suffered too much! Woo..." Then she began to cry again.
Josephine patted her on the back. "I know, mom, I know." As her daughter, Josephine felt sad and uncomfortable.
"You don't know. Somehow Mrs. Song heard about it and called me last night. You don't know the ridicule in her tone... Woo... How can I face people in the future? Aren't they gonna laugh at me? Woo... I wanna die!" Charlotte stuttered while crying, "Elizabeth, that bitch, how dare she.! I'm gonna destroy her!"
When it came to Elizabeth, Josephine ground her teeth with hatred.
When her mom came back from the cafe yesterday and told her that she was removed from the leading actress by James, her hatred for these two people penetrated into her bones.
In the past two days, the news that she's being forced- out had gone viral in the media. She's devastated.
"Mom, don't worry. Let's not talk about James Lu first." Josephine gritted her teeth and squeezed out a voice. "Elizabeth Liang, I will never let you get away with it!" In order to show her determination, she emphasized again. "Absolutely!"
This made Charlotte felt a little relieved. "Josephine, My life's been marred forever. You must avenge me!"
"Mom, don't worry. I can't tolerate it!" Josephine squicked out and then softened a little, "Mom, I've made my promise, shouldn't you go down to eat? You didn't eat last night, and you didn't have breakfast either. It's almost noon. How can you stand it? Dad's so occupied with the issue of cash flow now. What if you get sick?"
"But I really..."
"You don't have the appetite, I know, but anyway you have to manage to eat something. We do it for daddy, right? And only when we're full, can we have the strength to fight Elizabeth back. Don't you think?"
Charlotte thought for a moment and felt that Josephine Liang's words were reasonable. Finally, she nodded and went downstairs to have dinner with her.
"Mrs. Liang, the temperature is just right. You should eat more." The housekeeper filled a bowl of tonic and placed it in front of Charlotte respectfully.
"Yes."
Charlotte picked up the spoon and just took a bite when August Liang rushed in, his face cloudy.
"Dad." Josephine stood up. "Did you have breakfast..."
