No one expected that Snowy would be so bold. She grabbed hold of the hard crystal glass and aimed for Elena’s head. If she really did strike Elena with the glass, she would surely bleed!
“Look out!” Sarah, who had stood up and wanted to be the peacemaker, was alarmed when she saw what Snowy wanted to do. She rushed over there and pushed Elena aside.
The crystal glass landed on Sarah’s shoulders, and it made a muted thud. From the sound it made, it must have been excruciating!
Sarah frowned at the pain, but she gritted her teeth and swallowed the yelp that almost escaped.
“What’s going on here?” Finally, someone from the main table went over to theirs. It was Eldest Master Williams, the father of several of the young masters in the family, Rupert WilliamsRupert.
“Everything’s fine. I accidentally knocked over the glass.” Sarah explained immediately as she picked up the crystal glass from the ground.
Elena noticed the injustice and grievances that Sarah had to endure. In her past life, she did not have much contact with Eldest Madam Williams. Even though she was framed all the time in her previous life, her stupid self did not know who was behind it.
I did not expect that the sophisticated Eldest Madam was also mistreated at home! She was struck on her shoulder and injured, yet she still had to pick up the glass herself!
The maid got down hastily and helped Sarah up.
Sarah still bore a smile on her face. “It was just a misunderstanding…”
“It was not a misunderstanding!” Snowy, who realized that she had made a blunder, was still arrogant about it. “Dad, it was Elena who had splashed me with tea!”
Elena had never wanted to make a good impression with the Williams family. Therefore, she was not afraid, and said expressionlessly, “It was Young Miss Williams who picked the fight, and Eldest Madam’s clothes were also wet because she threw the tea at her.”
“Dad, I didn’t mean to throw the tea at Aunt Sarah. I was angry because of Elena’s sarcasm. She called me deaf…”
“Okay, the old master and old madam are around. There is a room full of people. Do you want to make me lose face with them?”
Rupert was displeased. Both Second Master and Third Master were there that night, so he could not afford to make a mistake. How could he risk tarnishing his dignity?
“It’s not my fault, Dad. Do you want me to be bullied and not resist at all? Dad, you said that no one could bully the Mu family!”
Snowy raised her chin and had no intention of admitting her wrongdoings.
Sarah immediately said, “It was nothing, just…”
“It’s just a petty fight among the juniors. As an elder, how could you let it happen and not take charge of the situation?” RupertRupert’s face darkened.
Sarah immediately answered with profound respect and humility, “Yes, it’s all my fault. I will keep an eye on them. It’s okay. You go ahead. Don’t keep Father waiting for too long.”
Rupert snorted coldly and turned to walk away.
Snowy returned to her place and gave Sarah a sideways glance, but she said nothing. She did not care about the things that she had done earlier.
Elena could not say anything else even if she wanted to. She could see that Rupert did not think so highly of his wife. If she had insisted on saying something at such a time, Sarah would probably suffer for it later.
For a rich young miss like Snowy, who was the darling of the family, she could resolve all problems if she acted weak and cute in front of her father. Elena helped Sarah back to her place as Snowy smiled at her contemptuously. She looked so proud of herself.
The women who married into the Williams family only seemed to have a high status in the eyes of the public, just like the position of their seat in a family feast. However, those women would never carry the Williams surname. How could they compare to those who were born into the family?
Did that wretched girl, Elena, think that she could make a scene just because she sat next to Sarah? Had she not known that Sarah did not mean much for their father? Elena had a lower status than Sarah, so what could she have done in the household?
Rosy was so pleased that she beamed widely. “Oh, Miss GarciaGarcia, did you really buy a bag from HARMADS today?” Besides Elena, no one knew why Rosy brought up such a trivial matter.
Elena pursed her lips as she knew that the woman wanted to cause more problems for her. However, she just looked at her indifferently and did not give her any reply.
Even the maids had called her Young Madam, but Rosy did not even greet her as Young Madam or Sister-in-Law. She had addressed her as Miss GarciaGarcia instead. She wanted to remind everyone that Elena was not part of the Williams family.
Rosy bit her lower lip to show that she was upset. “I wanted to see that bag too. Of course, I would not dare to think about buying it. I just want to see it, but you got them to kick me out. I didn’t even have a chance to see it. If you did buy it, could you let me have a look?”
“I have no other hobbies, but I like browsing all kinds of bags. Miss GarciaGarcia, could you let me take a look at the bag?”
“What did you say? She asked for you to be kicked out of the shop?” Snowy immediately got angry!
Tabby’s face sank. “A young miss from the Williams family was kicked out of the shop? Which shop? I will have it leveled immediately!”
She was not usually so kind to Rosy, but Elena had bullied the latter. It was Elena who had challenged their family’s prestige!
“It was nothing. Maybe it was because I was talking to Vanessa at that time. Miss Garcia probably thought we were too noisy and got the people to throw us out.”
Rosy adopted a calm and compromising attitude. “Tonight is our family feast. Tabby, just forget about what I had said. Grandfather and Grandmother are here.”
She gently pulled on Tabby’s arm and smiled innocently. “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t bring this up just to look at the treasure of the shop. It’s okay. It was just a misunderstanding.”
If one were kicked out of the shop, how could that be a misunderstanding? No one would treat a lady from an ordinary family like that, let alone a young miss from the Williams family. Elena was really loathsome! How could they allow such a person to marry into their family?
She had been arrogant even though she was not officially married into the family yet. What would happen when she finally became part of the family?
“Maybe it’s just a misunderstanding.” Sarah immediately tried to make peace. “Dinner will be served soon. Let’s eat first, and we’ll go toast to your grandparents later.”
“How could it be a misunderstanding?” Snowy sneered.
She was not willing to let Elena off that easily since she had the upper hand. She squinted at Elena’s freckled face with a displeased expression. “One of us were bullied and driven out of the store!”
“Aunt Sarah, do you really think that it was just a misunderstanding? What would happen if you were kicked out of the store someday?” No one spoke. Even Sarah had no answer to that question.
It was shameful if one were to get kicked out of a store. Even an ordinary person could not stomach such humiliation, let alone someone from such a prestigious background. Sarah’s lower lip trembled; she could not find a response to that question. She could only look at Elena subconsciously. She was not present at the incident, so she did not know what had happened at that time.
All eyes fell on Elena instantly. Most of the people there were part of the Williams family, and she had bullied one of their young misses. Was she not afraid that she would get into trouble? Why was she so fearless?
