Before Serena could even express her anger, Alma was already apologizing. "My bad, I accidentally got your dress dirty, which made you have to go to the bathroom, and then you tripped over the hem. After the dinner party, you can come to my place and pick out a new dress as compensation. Now, don't stay on the ground; it's cold. Let me help you up!"
As Alma pretended to help Serena, she deliberately stepped on her dress. Before Serena could stand up, she fell again. The sound of her dress tearing was clearly audible.
Seeing this, Alma quickly said, "Chill, sis, I'll cover you!"
She pretended to use the torn dress to cover Serena, but in reality, she was deliberately messing with her, making her reveal even more.
"Back off!" Serena angrily pushed her away, instinctively covering her exposed leg, and then stood up with the help of Martha.
Alma immediately apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, it was not on purpose. I was just trying to toast you, but my hand slipped. It's all because I applied hand cream before I left, so my hands were a bit slippery. I'm really sorry! I was only trying to help Serena up; I didn't expect her to fall again. I'm really sorry, Serena!"
Her apology seemed very sincere; she even handed her own shawl to Serena and said, "Serena, put this on first!"
Serena, furious, walked to the bathroom with her torn dress without giving Alma a second glance.
Alma bit her lip in a wronged manner, holding the shawl in her hands, and said dejectedly, "Is Serena mad at me?"
"Apologize to her properly when she comes out!" After saying this, Beverly turned to Kenneth and Louisa with a smile and said, "I'm really sorry; this kid can be a bit of a klutz. I'll apologize for her. But after Serena comes out, whatever you want to do is fine."
