Just as everyone thought that Elena would be embarrassed and depressed about the situation, she put on a soft look with pity in her eyes.
She looked at Sarah apologetically and said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know that the two young misses are deaf. Please excuse me.”
“What did you say?” Snowy sprang from her seat, and her face flushed instantly.
“Ugly duckling, who did you call a deaf?”
That damn b*tch! How dared she humiliated them like that! Did she want to dig her own grave? Did she not know about the status that the Mu family enjoyed in the entire Bentson? Some people might dare to bully some young miss from the Williams’s extended family, but no one had dared to mess with someone from the main branch of the family. How could anyone insult them?
What kind of power did the Garcia family think they had? In their eyes, Henry was no better than a low-level animal. How could the Garcia family’s less-favored ugly third young miss dare to call her deaf?
Even though Tabby’s reaction was not as agitated as Snowy’s, her face was completely ashen. In her whole life, that was the first time that she had received such a sharp remark in public!
Both Snowy and her were from the main branch of the Williams family. Which woman had the nerve to be rude and presumptuous toward them in the whole of Bentson?
Sarah was also startled. She wanted to say a few words on behalf of Elena, but she did not know what to say. The others blinked for a moment. The Williams family’s future young madam had provoked the two young misses. What a show!
Elena did not look at Snowy. The latter had directed her question to an ugly duckling, and she was not one. It made perfect sense for her to ignore Snowy.
She turned around and took the menu from the maid. Then, she started to discuss the dishes with Sarah. “I think these two dishes seem to conflict. If the number of dishes has to be even, then perhaps replace this Golden Yarn and Silver Tube with the Golden Bead Snow Lotus?”
She smiled at Sarah. She refused to acknowledge Snowy and did not even spare her a glance. Snowy was angry at the humiliation she received.
Suddenly, Snowy picked up the glass on the table and aimed it at Elena. However, Elena had been prepared for her action. She placed her foot at the side when she spotted Snowy picked up the glass.
Elena had been ready when Snowy splashed the water at her. She stepped aside quickly and managed to avoid it easily. However, half of the water had managed to drench Sarah’s dress, who sat next to her. The other half of the liquid fell on Elena’s chair.
The frightened maid quickly took a towel and cleaned up the mess on Sarah’s dress. The maid who stood next to Elena also helped to wipe off the excess water from her chair and table. Elena was not angry. She just looked point-blank at Snowy, and asked plainly, “What was that for, Sixth Young Miss?”
The commotion seemed to have caught some attention from the main table. However, the men would usually turn a deaf ear to the petty arguments between the women. They trusted that Sarah was there to handle the situation. Unfortunately, Sarah was not in any better position herself.
“I’m talking to you, ugly duckling. Did you not hear me? Who are you calling deaf?”
Snowy knew that the men would never care about what happened at their table, and she had never really respected Sarah anyway. Therefore, she remained unruly even after she splashed the water.
“You were calling for an ugly duckling, how do I know who you were referring to?” Elena shrugged indifferently.
“Aside from you, who else do you think is ugly?” Snowy snorted. She felt like laughing out loud when she said that. How could Elena not realize that she looked ugly?
“Why, am I really that ugly? I don’t think so. Your big brother also said that I look rather good. Do you mean that your big brother is blind?”
“You…” Snowy’s face sank. She was so annoyed that she wanted to take the glass of water from the person next to her and pour it onto Elena! Did she just say that Big Brother liked her look? How could that be possible?
However, no matter what, she would never be silly enough to say that her brother was blind! That b*tch! How bold of her! Did she really not know that she was ugly?
Did Big Brother not get engaged with her because of Grandmother? She even shamelessly claimed that Big Brother had praised her good looks! How shameless of her!
Elena returned to her chair and looked at Sarah as she said regretfully, “Is everything alright?”
She did not expect them to treat Sarah that way, especially with her status in the family.
The two young misses did not have the slightest bit of respect for her.
“It’s okay.” Sarah smiled. She did not take it seriously, as though something like that was a regular occurrence.
Elena looked at Snowy. Suddenly, the smile on her face vanished, and she wore a somber expression.
“Aren’t you supposed to apologize to Madam?”
“Apologize?” Snowy looked as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world!
“Did you ask me to apologize? Elena, have you not figured out your identity yet? Who do you think you are?”
“Who am I? Perhaps you should direct this question to your brother.”
“You… You don’t fool me! Do you think that I am afraid of you?” Snowy frowned and snorted.
“I don’t need you to be afraid of me. But you should apologize since you have dirtied Madam’s dress.”
“Anran, forget it. It’s okay. It has dried up.” Sarah made concessions to avoid a dispute.
“Just because it has dried has nothing to do with the fact that she threw tea at you. A junior who doesn’t know how to respect the elders could easily be mistaken as the Williams’s lousy upbringing.”
Elena made it clear that she would not give in to Snowy that day. She continued to stare at Snowy, and she was not about to compromise.
“I am not apologizing to her. What can you do about it?” Snowy sat on the chair and folded her slender legs. She, too, stared back at Elena with a mocking sneer.
“Hit me if you dare! Oh, since you like barking so much, you can come and bite me like a dog then!”
Rosy tried to cover the giggle that wanted to escape from the lips, but she could not prevent the smile that blossomed on her face.
The people around them also laughed at the joke. Sarah was embarrassed, and she desperately wanted to ease the atmosphere. Suddenly, Elena stood up and strode toward Snowy.
Snowy’s face changed, but she still stared at her. “What do you want to do? This is the Mu family, how dare you!”
“Don’t you want me to hit you? I haven’t seen such a lowly person who begged to be beaten.”
Elena walked toward her and stood in front of her. Elena did not hit her. Instead, she took a glass of beverage from the person next to her and emptied it onto Snowy’s face!
“Argh!” Snowy screamed.
Even though the tea was no longer hot, it was still warm. The tea splattered all over her face. She was not scalded, but she still could not bear it.
“Argh! Elena! What did you do? Are you trying to kill me?” Snowy quickly stood up. She used her hands to cover her face, and thus she could not see clearly. She accidentally kicked a chair.
“Argh …” She had managed to trip herself and fell onto the ground.
“Snowy!” Sarah was shocked and stood up in a hurry.
The maid was also terrified and hurried over to help. “Sixth Young Miss…”
“Go away! All of you go away!”
That was the first time that Snowy had been splashed with tea!
“B*tch, I will kill you!”
She picked up the empty glass on the table and held it up as if to smash it onto Elena’s head.
