"Often help you in doing homework?" Daniel Taylor raised his head, looked at Claire Ashley, and asked, "You were very weak in studies?"
"..." Claire Ashley was deliberately praising Anna Stark to show their good relationship in front of Taylor's, so that she can get some protocol as well.
But after listening to Daniel Taylor's words she immediately became quiet.
Anna Stark looked at Daniel Taylor and noticed that he intentionally insulted Claire Ashley.
Claire Ashley still tried to smile, and continued, "No, I was good, but not as good as Anna. Anna is smart and good-looking. There were many boys in the school that liked her, chased her."
Anna Stark was quietly eating her food but after hearing Claire's words she bit her tongue. Claire Ashley was praising her, and everything she said before was nonsense and fake. But now she said that many boys liked her and chased her?
Did she think that it was normal to say such things in front of someone's husband and in-laws?
In fact, there were no such boys.
Anna Stark knew that Claire Ashley said all this to use it as an apple of discord between her and her husband.
She looked at Claire Ashley and said, "Not so many. There was only one. But later, you said that you like him. Didn't I give him to you?"
Anna Stark said calmly, looked at John Peter, smiled and continued eating her food.
Claire Ashley didn't know what to say next and her face turned pale, "Don't say that I robbed something from you, where can I have this ability."
Although it was a fact that she had snatched John Peter from Anna Stark, in front of John Peter she always played the role of Anna Stark's good friend.
Anna Stark knew that it was important to answer to stop her, "Don't be too modest. Aren't you best at robbing and snatching other people's things?"
Anna Stark didn't need to play safe. At that moment she was not worried about her personality. She didn't care what Taylor's family would think of her. But she knew if she let Claire say all this nonsense she will be in trouble, sooner or later.
But Claire's situation and position was totally different, she also wanted to maintain the image of a very decent and good girl in front of Taylor's.
Claire noticed that she couldn't win from Anna Stark. She had to use any other way, she smiled and wiped her tears. "Anna, I always take you as a friend. How can you say that to me? I was just praising you."
