Elaine sighed mournfully as she mentioned Hannah. " Hannah and I are sisters-in-law. We’re both miserable and unlucky, and became the Wilson family's daughter -in-law. We both understand each other's suffering..."
Elaine paused before crying in mock sadness, "Ah! Hannah has it worse than me! She got pregnant at such an old age and miscarried. It's so terrible for her health! I want to invite her out for a ride in our new car so that she can relax and feel better!"
Christopher listened as Elaine yapped on and on, her fakeness obvious. He grew livid when she brought up Hannah’s miscarriage.
He pointed a furious finger at Elaine and barked," Elaine, you... You..!. You're such a terrible person! You should've known! Hannah ran away! Why are you still humiliating me in such a way? I... I...I’ll smash you to death!"
Christopher wanted to throw the crutch under his arm at Elaine and let it fall on her, smashing her. When Elaine saw that, she broke out in a cold sweat.
Christopher might not be able to hit her right in the head, but he could easily hit the Cullinan parked downstairs.
Elaine was more worried about the ten-million-dollar car than her own well-being. How could she afford to
fix the car if it was damaged?
They could make do without repairing it if it was just a dent, but they wouldn't be able to make do if Christopher actually broke the glass. Could they possibly wrap the window with plastic wrap or use scotch tape to cover the broken window? There was n o way!
She finally got a luxury car after so long! She would cry if the car was damaged right after owning it.
Lady Wilson hurriedly stepped forward at this juncture, and grabbed Christopher's arm tightly to stop him.
"Christopher, you mustn’t! You can't throw the crutch! You have to think of Harold and me! If you hit them, how can we continue our life...?”
Christopher burst into tears of humiliation upon hearing his mother’s words. He choked, "Mom, I'm not trying to argue with you, but Elaine's just too much!"
