“Since she has apologized on her own accord, then she should really apologize to Maureen.” Gianna declared with a righteous look.
Bernice’s face drastically changed at the moment. No matter how good she was as an actress, she couldn’t maintain her fake facade anymore at this point.
In her whole, the person she hated the most was none other than Maureen. Since their childhood days, they had been locking horns. All the other young ladies of the other affluent families knew better than to get in her way, but Maureen was the oddity who never relented in front of her. Instead, she would always hold opposing thoughts and opinions to Bernice when it came to practically anything.
Later on, she had fallen for Bruce, but it turned out that Bruce fancied Maureen, which in her opinion was the biggest humiliation she could experience in her life. She hated Maureen to the core, and it would be a joke if she had to bow down her head in front of her now!
Lindsay was able to discern what was going on inside her daughter’s mind. Knowing well how much she hated Maureen, to ask her to apologize to Maureen in front of everyone else was a suffering worse than death. She couldn’t help but cursing at Gianna for leading to this development.
This woman really didn’t take Lindsay’s kindness at face value since she was playing the role of the righteous one here while it was already an honour for Bernice to apologize to her.
She got more and more riled up the more she thought about this.
However, seeing that there were so many people around them, Lindsay couldn’t just turn around and flee even if she wanted to.
At the same time, everyone seemed to be waiting for Bernice to make her apologies. There was no space to manoeuvre in this situation.
“Bernice, look at you, you’re being childish again. How can you smash Maureen’s phone so clumsily? Fast, apologize now.” Osmond interjected in a soft manner in order to prevent more awkwardness shrouding his family.
Although he had made things seemed light by mentioning that Bernice was being “clumsy”, in the end, Bernice seemed to have no other choice other than apologizing to Maureen in this situation.
Maureen straightened her back at this moment while waiting for Bernice this little bitch to bend down in front of her.
She had to admit that Gianna was giving her a very rare reward now.
“Bernice.” Seeing that Bernice didn’t say anything, Osmond’s face slowly darkened.
In the upper class of society, importance was always placed on the male member of a family. As long as the head of the family speak, it was a sign of total obedience. No one could say otherwise!
Bernice’s eyes had turned red out of nervousness.
“I know that you’re not doing it purposely, but you still smashed Maureen’s phone. It’s your fault.” Lindsay pinched Bernice’s back to urge her daughter.
Bernice endured the snapping pain and stared viciously at Maureen.
On the other hand, Maureen was grinning ear to ear.
“Bernice.” Lindsay was growing impatient.
“Sorry.” Bernice seemed to force those words out of her teeth.
She was on the verge of tears although it was just a word. She was also forcing her to endure the embarrassment!
She was probably resenting everyone around her for putting her in this situation.
Gianna was snickering coldly on one side.
If the Kennedys didn’t brand themselves into such high-class personalities and presented themselves as educated, obedient and polite, they wouldn’t have driven her daughter into such a tight spot at this moment!
One day, this daughter would expose all the falsities and facades made by the Kennedys.
“It’s nothing.” Maureen answered generously, “You’re too young to understand anything, so I won’t bother with you on such things too. Remember don’t simply bark at anyone next time.”
Too young to understand anything? !
What did she mean by her barking?
Was she referring her as a dog?
Bernice couldn’t maintain her composure anymore once she understood that Maureen was throwing sarcastic remarks at her. She was about to go into a frenzy and curse back at Maureen.
At the last second, Lindsay grabbed Bernice, “Since we are all settled here, I’ll bring Bernice and grab some desserts to eat. She didn’t have her dinner yet.”
Lindsay didn’t want Bernice to embarrass the Kennedy family name in front of so many.
Bernice was forced to put up with her hatred once again.
She shot a venomous glare at Maureen before leaving with her mother.
The moment she turned around, all of a sudden there was a loud snapping sound that sounded like fabric tearing apart.
Immediately afterwards, Bernice screamed out at the top of her lungs, “Ah!”
Her scream attracted everyone’s attention.
They all saw that Bernice’s evening dress was torn and the spot was coincidentally where her chest was. Her skin-coloured bra pad was exposed just like this. Everyone saw her embarrassment at the moment.
Gianna immediately lifted her leg which was originally on the lower edge of Bernice’s dress on the floor. She looked a little flustered too as she called out, “Bernice, you are too fast on your feet just now, I have accidentally stepped on your dress…”
“Ah!” Bernice was going crazy now.
