Seeing Stanley's expressionless face, Suzy was shocked and her face turned pale, "Mr... Mr. Murphy!"
Violet was also a little surprised when she saw Stanley, but she did not show it on the face. She nodded slightly to him as a greeting, and then looked away.
Seeing that she was still so indifferent and alienated, Stanley pursed his thin lips, feeling unhappy. Then he looked at Suzy, "Just now you asked her to kneel on the ground to clean? It seemed that you’re so familiar with it. You must have a lot of experience in this aspect. Why don't you do that first and give her an example?"
As soon as Stanley finished speaking, everyone around laughed.
Violet couldn't help but laughed.
Suzy couldn't accept that she was laughed at by others. She flushed, stomped and screamed.
Her cry made Mr. Moore who came downstairs thought that something was wrong. After frowning, he speeded up his steps to the first floor with a cane, squeezed away the crowd and walked over, "What are you guys doing?"
"Mr. Moore." Seeing him coming, Violet was slightly relieved and bowed slightly to say hello to him.
Stanley also nodded slightly, "Mr. Moore."
Mr. Moore smiled kindly at the two, just about to say hello to them.
Suzy cried and walked to him in a grieved manner, and took his arm, "Grandpa, they bullied me!"
She pointed to Violet and Stanley.
Violet raised her eyebrows.
Stanley narrowed his eyes, obviously never expecting that Suzy would actually complain first.
"Bulling you?" Mr. Moore touched Suzy's head, while looking at Violet and Stanley in confusion, "Why did they bully you?"
Suzy gritted her teeth, "This woman bumped into me and knocked me down. Mr. Murphy let me kneel on the ground to clean up the glass shards and red wine."
"What?" Mr. Moore was taken aback, "Is this true?"
"It’s..."
"Mr. Moore, it's true!" Violet interrupted Suzy with a smile.
Now it was Suzy's turn to be stunned. She looked at Violet as if looking at a fool. She seemed to be surprised that Violet not only did not refute, but also proactively admitted. Was Violet insane?
Thinking about it, Suzy smiled, and raised her chin proudly.
Stanley also looked at Violet. Although he did not know why Violet admitted it, he knew that she must have her own ideas, so he did not speak to help her.
Only Mr. Moore didn't know. Hearing what his granddaughter said and Violet also admitted that it was true, he believed it. Then his face sank.
Just when he was ready to get angry, Violet tucked her hair and spoke again, "Although what Miss Moore said is true, there are other hidden things in it."
Sure enough!
Stanley smiled faintly. He knew that she had a fallback.
Suzy suddenly trembled. The expression on her face stiffened, and the hand holding Mr. Moore subconsciously tightened his sleeves.
Mr. Moore noticed her abnormality and calmed down, staring at Violet with sharp old eyes, "Tell me, what's the hidden things?"
"Grandpa..." Suzy hurriedly said. Meanwhile, the hand holding the old man's sleeve tightened more. There was a little nervousness in her eyes.
Mr. Moore saw it. His old eyes narrowed, and then he yelled, "Shut up!"
Suzy trembled. She didn't dare to speak anymore.
