His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 872

As a granddaughter, Sheryl had rarely seen Amy getting furious at someone. However this was not the first time she witnessed her grandma getting enraged to such an extent. The last time she saw this face of Amy was the time when something happened between her and Charles. Amy had always been gentle and good-tempered, and would not be triggered unless someone had really done something severely offensive. Apparently, Peggy had irked her beyond her point of tolerance.

For a moment, a slight sense of embarrassment flashed on Peggy's face. However, she very promptly shrugged it off and asked confidently, "This is our family matter. How does it matter to you?"

Amy jeered and retorted, "The place where you are standing right now is my house. You have come to my house and yelled to my granddaughter. And now you are childish enough to say that it has nothing to do with me!" Amy looked at Peggy from head to toe. She needed no more clue to understand where she was coming from. She cast a disgusted look at her and warned her harshly, "Let me tell you something. You better move your ass off now, or else I will show you no mercy."

"You old jerk…" Hearing her threat Peggy became all the more defiant and uncourteous. She showed no respect for the old lady. As she was about to hurl some more curses at her, Sue's voice cut through their conversation as she walked down the stairs. "Clean your dirty mouth before you talk!"

Peggy stared at Sue and spoke in a sarcastic manner, "Well, I thought you were going stay inside forever." Peggy continued hurling her daunting remarks on Sue, "I can see how easy and convenient it is for you to just hide behind this old woman, isn't it? Why did you even bother to come down?"

"Didn't I ask you to rest in your room? Why did you come out?" Sheryl questioned Sue as she looked at Sue with creased eyebrows.

Amy, too, frowned at Sue, thinking that now it would be even more difficult to make Peggy leave.

"How can I really take rest?" Sue gave a crocked smile and continued, "Moreover, this is something between me and her. How can I… just hide behind the two of you and escape from it?"

"That's no big deal for us. You need not to come in between. Just go upstairs," Sheryl replied gesturing Sue to go back to her room. However, Sue seemed to have made up her mind to confront her mother. Despite Sheryl's repeated requests for her going back to the room, Sue stayed there, unwilling to move even for a step. Feeling Sue's resolution, Amy then persuaded Sheryl to cease asking Sue, "Aright. Since she chose to come down, then let's respect her decision. Don't worry. We will stay here and keep an eye on her."

After she settled the conversation with Sheryl, Sue turned to Peggy and asked in a cold tone, "Let me hear what you want to say. Why are you here today?"

Peggy sneered back, "You and this good friend of yours planned together to set a trap for me. Now, you are asking what am I here for? Don't you think it's just too funny?"

"Set a trap for you?" Sue raised her brows and pouted her lips to express her astonishment at Peggy's remark. Sue's face broke into a sarcastic laugh as she continued, "You are such a clever woman, Peggy. How can I make you fall into the trap?"

"You…" Peggy was rendered speechless. It was true that it was none other than Peggy who was responsible for the situation at hand. She had it coming.

Peggy shouldn't have trusted Sheryl in the first place. She should have been more cautious. After all, Sheryl was a close friend of Sue. It was obvious that Sheryl would stand by Sue instead of her. It was indeed stupid of her to believe in Sheryl's words! She regretted getting swayed away by Sheryl's innocent face.

Besides, she should not have underestimated Sue. But technically speaking, it was hard not to fall into the trap. She had been controlling Sue all her life. How could she imagine that her prey would turn around and attack her one day?

"What?" Sue raised her eyebrows and questioned Peggy. "It seems you have nothing to defend yourself now?" With a disdainful look, Sue continued, "Peggy Li, I know why you have come here today. Now let me tell you, don't ever imagine that I will pay for you. Do whatever you like."

"I think you haven't learned your lesson last time." Peggy was getting increasingly impatient. Bursting in anger, she began to threaten Sue, "You think I can't do anything to you if you keep hiding here? Okay, give it a try. You will see the consequence. I will beat you to death! Right here, right now! Let me see who stops me!"

Peggy rolled up her sleeves as she spoke and got ready for a fight. Immediately, Sheryl stepped forward.

She spread her arms taking both Sue and Amy at her back. She had to protect both of them -- one, her old granny and the other, an expecting mommy.

"Aunt Peggy." Sheryl glared right into Peggy's eyes with an unwavering look. Slowly, Peggy's hand that she had raised to hit Sue came down. Peggy kept looking at Sheryl feeling helpless. She had no reason to raise her hands on Sheryl. And with Sheryl as a protective wall between her and Sue, she could not even reach out to Sue.
