Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 195

Chapter 195: This woman is what’s going on!

Meanwhile...

Since it was the start of the exam week for every student, Allison suggested she and Jessa make something for the children. Fortunately, Jessa didn’t make a fuss about it. Hence, the two of them were currently in the mall.

"Mrs. Cortez, I’ll just..." Allison trailed off as she turned in the direction where Jessa was, only to see the latter happily go to a boutique.

Looking at the name of the women’s boutique, a shallow breath slipped past Allison. "Well, we are already done with the groceries, anyway." She shrugged, knowing she could always contact Jessa if they lost each other. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

With that thought in mind, Allison went to the other boutique to shop for some things for the children.

Allison intuitively checked the girl’s section, smiling as she saw some cute accessories Penny might like. Her daughter liked light colors. Hence, Allison happily reached out for a ribbon. But just as she was able to take it, a hand suddenly picked up the ribbon in a hurry.

"This is nice!" the other woman happily commented, making Allison look in her direction.

Allison’s smile faded a bit. "Patricia’s Mom."

"Nina’s mom." Mrs. Miller smiled sarcastically. "What a coincidence! After what happened with the children and how your husband has been suppressing our exports, what a coincidence, indeed!"

"Mrs. Miller, it’s nice to see you too," Allison maintained a graceful smile before she tried to turn around to leave.

Mrs. Miller scoffed. "Nina’s Mom... or should I call you her fake mom?"

Allison’s steps halted as she slowly faced the woman again. "Excuse me?"

"I heard that you had your babies swapped." Mrs. Miller smirked as she folded her arms. "What a sad story. It must be very hard for you, Mrs. Bennet. Taking care and pampering a child that isn’t even your blood and flesh. No wonder no matter how you tried to raise her nicely, she’s a rogue."

"Mrs. Miller, I know our families hadn’t been on good terms with everything that is happening between my husband and your husband. However, please, leave out our family matters," Allison warned with calculated firmness and calmness. No matter how angering Mrs. Miller’s remarks were, they were in public. "Moreover, we might not be perfect parents, but we are trying the best we could."

Mrs. Miller’s smirk stretched. "I see. So your best is making Nina a violent kid? You did a good job on that!"

"Mrs. Miller, what are you talking about now?"

"Huh? You don’t know?" Mrs. Miller did a fake gasp. "You didn’t know that Nina hurt my kid?"

"What?"

This time, Mrs. Miller’s voice rose and released Allison, earning everyone’s attention in the boutique.

"Ma’am, is there something wrong?" the staff in the shop quickly approached the woman. "What’s going on?"

"What’s going on?" Mrs. Miller repeated and scowled at Allison. "This woman is what’s going on!"

"Ma’am?" The staff furrowed her brows, casting Allison a look.

Despite the bitterness on Allison’s face, she kept an upright pose with a dignified air around her. "I’m sorry about this," she told the staff. "It’s just that Mrs. Miller and I hadn’t been on the same page. I’m going to leave now and —"

"That’s right. She’s going to leave and run away. Allison Bennet, are you that ashamed that others might know how terrible you raised your fake daughter?!" Mrs. Miller raised her voice even more. "Apparently, this woman raised a kid that isn’t her own while her own daughter was raised by a poor family! It’s a touching story, but it’s actually not. Because this woman chose to keep the fake daughter, the fake daughter tried to harm the real one!"

"Mrs. Miller!"

"Hah! Not only that, but this fake daughter tried to pin my own daughter for a crime she did! And as if she wasn’t satisfied yet, she even beat my daughter just because she stood her ground!" Mrs. Miller was already panting when she finished. "Yet, now, she wouldn’t even apologize but instead shield her fake daughter with a criminal mind! It’s so disgusting!"

Everyone in the shop looked at each other before they cast different looks upon Allison.
