Sera walked up to Angeline in a soft and gentle manner, flashing a humble, polite smile. "Thank you, Angeline."
Angeline ignored her, then turned around and left.
The sharp contrast in their attitudes made George dote on Sera more.
Shirley and Lady Severe cooked lunch at noon. Anne and the rest had already sat on the table a long time ago, and when they saw the ordinary-looking delicacies, Anne started acting up again.
"Quinella, the Severe family is different now. You should be frugal whenever you can when it comes to food. I'm afraid George won’t be able to pay your alimony in the future if you keep being so extravagant and wasteful."
Angeline, who was helping Old Master Severe down the stairs, was infuriated when she heard what Anne said.
"My mother is very frugal normally. She prepared such a big feast only because you're here today. Don't b e so ungrateful." Angeline snapped.
"Besides, the food on this table isn't bought using my dad's money but mine. It's alright if you’re being ungrateful for eating my food and staying at my mother's house, but you should at least seal your lips."
Anne looked extremely sullen and had no choice but t o rub herself against George. "Look at your good daughter, George. Look how sharp her tongue is. I can say one sentence and she'll return with ten."
Therefore, George reprimanded Angeline, "Jay must've indulged your bad habits. He probably couldn't stand your bad temper in the end and that's why he divorced you, right?"
Angeline looked thunderstruck as she stood rooted to the same spot as though she was struck dumb.
Old Master Severe glared sharply at George. "Know when to shut up, will you?"
Shirley walked over and pushed Angeline to the seat between her and Lady Severe.
