“Chris?” Monica was clearly upset by Julia’s response, and I couldn’t help but cringe at the saddened look on her face.
Had Monica not drugged Christopher when she was trying to get at me back then, Julia would undoubtedly be our biggest obstacle as she always takes Monica’s side. Monica had better not pick a fight with me, or things are going to get really nasty! Unlike everyone else, I won’t go easy on her just because we’re in public! Julia will probably get upset as a result, but I must stand my ground or Christopher will get angry!
I thought to myself and acted like I was invisible as I sipped on my tea.
Christopher frowned as he swapped my cold cup of tea for a hot one before turning toward Monica. “What?”
Monica pursed her lips, and her eyes began to tear up.
Unable to stand her antics anymore, Mitchell moved toward the empty seat next to Christopher and waved at Monica as he said, “All right, you can sit here if you want. We’ve got some room left at this table.”
Julia simply glanced at them without saying anything.
“Mrs. Lane is being cold toward Monica? That’s strange… I thought the Lane family and the Martin family were determined to be connected by marriage!”
“I know, right? I see Mrs. Lane is being really nice to Yvonne! Heck, she even chose to sit next to her! Tsk, tsk, tsk… Yvonne sure is something else, being able to win Mrs. Lane over so quickly! The Martin family is in for a tough fight!”
“There is a lot of weird stuff going on this year! I mean, why would Mrs. Lane be so nice to someone who would even harm a pregnant woman? There’s definitely more to this than meets the eye!”
