We were not in the Tanner residence, and I was no longer the former me. Previously, Crystal could make things difficult for me and bully me in the Tanner residence, but now, I would never allow her to provoke me.
“I- Aunt Isabelle…” Crystal was stumped by what I said, and her expression changed. Immediately, she looked at Isabelle and explained, “Aunt Isabelle, that’s not what I meant. I just…”
With that said, she was on the verge of tears as if she had been greatly wronged. Back then, she loved to use that kind of forlorn expression to say some specious things to make everyone misunderstand. Looking at her, I sneered. We were not in the Tanner residence, and her close male friends were not present either. Who was she showing the pitiful expression to?
“Eve, you’ve gone too far.” Isabelle looked at me displeasingly and scolded, “Crystal is our guest. As the host, how can you talk to her like this? Hurry up and apologize.”
“Mom!” Upon hearing that, I widened my eyes in shock. I was so surprised that I was at a loss for words. Mom actually sided with Crystal and asked me to apologize. Did I say anything wrong?
The next moment, I turned my head to look at Crystal. She was still looking at me pitifully, but the triumph in her eyes had already betrayed her true feelings.
“Aunt Isabelle, please don’t scold Yvonne. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t talk nonsense and make her angry. I’m the one who should be apologizing.” Suddenly, Crystal stood up and uttered in fear.
“You didn’t say anything wrong.” Immediately, Isabelle pulled her back onto her seat and glared at me. “You only told the truth and made someone irritated.”
Smack!
