Never in a million years did Ashlyn think Susan would appear and slander her and her friends.
Susan's remark hurt her so deeply that she could barely breathe. It was unbearably painful.
All the onlookers cast disdainful looks at her as if she was stripped naked in public.
Penelope looked at Ashlyn in smug satisfaction. How I wish Ashlyn would drop to her knees and beg me.
She finally opened her mouth and said, “All this while, you've never shown Grandma any respect. People might be charmed by your innocent looks, but I know what kind of person you are.”
Penelope's eyes reddened as she continued, “Grandma took good care of you when you were in the countryside, yet you kicked her out of the house during winter and refused to feed her. Fortunately, Mom and I arrived in time and took Grandma to the city. You're the most wicked woman I've ever seen.”
Susan also chided, “Yeah. She kicked me out of the house during winter while I was wearing only a thin shirt. And that's how I got my arthritis in the legs. Ashlyn, what have I done to you to deserve this? I raised you and gave you a home, yet this is how you repay me?”
“I know you're famous now and have a lot of money. But have you thought of the life you had before? Have you thought of how you treated me in the past? Have you thought of taking care of me?” Susan said in between sobs.
Bianca was utterly annoyed by the turn of events. She did not expect these people would make a din at her birthday party and cause the atmosphere to turn awkward.
After seeing how Susan behaved, Bianca regretted having her over. She had invited Susan to her birthday party because Mary had told her that she felt bad leaving Susan alone in the house. Since this woman named Susan took good care of my daughter, I thought she should be a sweet person.
But that was not the case. The elderly woman was not only a country bumpkin but also an uncouth shrew.
At the same time, Bianca had also begun to see Ashlyn as a troublemaker, even though she initially had a good impression of her.
