When Joe returned to the villa, he angrily removed his coat and tossed it on the floor.
All of the maids looked at him, stunned. They dared not breathe loudly.
Mandy walked in, looking terrible. She sat on the couch, and her eyes were getting red. She said while being mad and wronged. “I’ve never been humiliated like that in my life!”
Joe glared at her and said nothing.
Mandy came from a prestigious family as well. She beat the other three families when she was grandly married over 20 years ago.
However, she had to bow to apologize to Cordelia today.
“What did I do wrong!?” She cried. “The only mistake I made was that I shouldn’t have—”
“Enough!” Joe stared at her.
He knew what she was going to say.
However, it was best not to say that when Nelly was around.
Joe’s face turned grim when he looked at Nelly, who dared not come in.
“How dare you stand there!?” he scolded. “It’s all your fault whatever happened today!
“Even if you wanted to frame that Cordelia, you should’ve gone for something better! Also, although the Tanners are not a charitable family, we’re righteous. We’d never harm people by doing something like that!
The muscles on his face twitched from his rage, “Nelly, you’ve humiliated our entire family!”
Nelly bit her lip and said nothing. However, the grudge in her surged like a volcano’s eruption.
“Seems like we can’t keep the marriage with the Hamertons…” He sighed.
“No, dad!” Nelly said in a panic. “I’ll come up with a solution. I’ll definitely—”
“What solution can you come up with!?” Joe was enraged. He picked up the antique porcelain vase next to him and crushed it on the floor!
A crisp clang echoed as the vase was completely crushed. A piece of porcelain stabbed Nelly’s foot.
