Janet smiled, "Don't worry, Angela. There is no way that I believe her!"
She would rather believe that Daniel hooked up with Shirley than believe that Daniel had a dubious relationship with Sabina.
Lola turned to Mrs. Yi and said scornfully, "Mrs. Yi, if you have nothing important to discuss with my daughter, please excuse us. We are leaving."
It was a waste of time to argue with Mrs. Yi and her daughter.
"Mrs Si, my daughter was just telling the truth. How could you allow your son to marry the daughter of a murderer?" Mrs. Yi continued to provoke.
Lola was pissed off at this point. She pulled a long face and spoke with much hostility, "Who told you that Ella is a murderer? Do you even know what Janet's father and brother do? Watch your language, if you don't want to go to jail!"
"Auntie, don't bother arguing with them. If Daniel finds out about it, he will definitely dump this woman, " said Sabina. If she had known this earlier, she would have told Daniel!
By smearing her mother's name, it was obvious that Clarissa and Sabina were deliberately stirring things up to humiliate Janet.
"Clarissa, Sabina, you both really don't heed warnings!" Janet said as she glared at the two of them with a stern look.
Sabina crossed her arms over her chest and mocked, "I know both your father and brother are famous lawyers. But that doesn't mean anything!"
"Now that you are fully aware that my father and brother are outstanding lawyers, you both better watch out. If you continue slandering my mother, I promise you two will end up in jail!" said Janet. God knew how she wished she could file a lawsuit against Clarissa and Sabina and send them to jail right this instant.
Clarissa wasn't afraid at all. She continued to tease Janet, "How pathetic you are to be cheated by your man and best friend... Hahaha!"
Her theatrical laughter drew the attention of many guests.
"How could you say that they cheated on me? If they had cheated on me, I wouldn't have been the mother of Daniel's daughter!" Hearing Janet's words, everyone was shocked.
Apart from Sabina, none of them knew Janet was the mother of Daniel's daughter.
"You are the mother of Mr Si's daughter?" Clarissa stared at Janet with her eyes widening in disbelief. How could Daniel allow the daughter of a murderer to be the mother of his child?"
Janet sneered without saying anything.
"How would Mr Si allow you to have his baby! I am sure he doesn't know that you are the daughter of..."
Smack! A crisp sound of a slap drew more guests' attention. By now, everyone surrounded the women.
Guests couldn't help covering their mouths with their hands, "Oh my goodness! Who dared slap Clarissa?"
"That's Janet, the daughter of the famous lawyer Samuel."
"I can't believe Clarissa just got slapped!"
...
Seeing her daughter slapped, Mrs. Yi held Clarissa into her arms and asked worriedly, "Clarissa, does it hurt? Let me check your face..."
As the treasure of Yi Family, Clarissa had never been wronged by anyone. Even her parents had never scolded her, let alone hit her.
"Janet! How dare you slap me!" Clarissa shouted at Janet angrily.
Lola gave Janet an approving look, "Well done, Janet!"
Her words infuriated Clarissa further.
