Adeline stared straight at Angela with undisguised disgust, ''Jessica's misfortune is caused by her. Allowing her to attend this birthday party is already a gift to her, how can you let her stay with you?
Don't you worry about her, this murderer, will poison you in champagne when you are not paying attention? "
Adeline's words were bitter and mean, but the few people present didn't think it was too much.
If it were them, if Angela disabled their daughter, they would also disrespect Angela!
Elva lowered her head, feeling even more embarrassed.
She made a dry cough and tried to defend her daughter, but did not know what to say.
Denise smiled and said carelessly, "I happen to have a cold these two days, but I don't want to drink medicine, because it tastes too awful.
Angela is always considerate, so she probably put some medicine in my drink."
After saying that, she inclined her head to look towards Angela, “You should not drink champagne and medicine together, so you have to keep your eyes open. Or if something happens to me, You may be framed to have an evil intention."
"If you don't like medicine, then make some brown sugar ginger soup. I remember you like drink something sweet."
Angela gave herself an out.
Denise chuckled slightly, and wrinkles appeared at the corner of her eyes, "Thank you for remembering my tastes so clearly."
The two chatted with each other deliberately and cooperatively, making Adeline frustrated.
Elva stood aside, feeling even more guilty and embarrassed. She looked at Angela, "Angela, now apologize to your Aunt. Don't talk to an elder in this way anymore in the future."
"I don't understand what you mean, Madam. Did I just say something wrong?"
Angela asked indifferently.
Elva was so surprised that her eyes widened with tears, because she was completely startled by the “Madam”.
"Nothing wrong. Maybe she is too old to listen clearly."
Denise took Angela's hand and patted comfortingly.
Angela lowered her head and did not make any sound. As if there was a lump of cotton soaked in water in her chest, she felt suffocated and hard to breathe.
This feeling of her mother taking sides with someone else but an unrelated elder taking sides with her was so hard to bear.
Seeing Denise so protective of Angela, Adeline felt embarrassed as well.
With the awkward atmosphere, everyone was slient, which was not incompatible with the noisy crowd on the other side.
“Adeline is upset now, so in order to keep her from sorrowing, I left first.."
Denise finally said.
Hearing this, Adeline's expression changed "I apologize for making it difficult for you.
But Angela nearly killed my daughter, and I really don't want to see her again. Please understand."
Elva had already recovered from the shock she had just felt, looking at Angela with tear.
Angela moved her eyes away and didn't look at her.
"We are friends for so many years, so there's no need to say such insulting things."
Denise sneered and waved at James who was not far away, "James, come here!"
James inclined his head to look over and raised his eyebrows slightly, saying something to the person next to him before walking over, "What's wrong mom?"
"Your Auntie doesn't like Angela, so it's not appropriate for her to stay with me. Take her with you."
Denise said with regrets.
Hearing this, Angela's heart did a flip. When she wanted to reject it, she heard James saying,
"Let's go."
"Goodbye first."
After Angela said goodbye to everyone, she nervously followed behind James.
Looking at the back of the two leaving, Adeline felt depressed, as if there was gas stuck in her throat, indescribably uncomfortable.
