The old Mrs. Lawson looked disgusted.
William echoed, "Cathy, you're being willful! You are far not as good as Sophia now."
"Not as good as her? That's not what you said before!"
"Yes, that's not. But that's before, not now. Cathy, you handled the car accident today terribly, did you see what Sophia did?"
Bella, who hadn't said anything, walked up to Cathy, "Cathy, what accident? Did you get hurt? Let me see!"
"Leave me alone!"
Cathy was upset. The two people who used to love her so much were now on Sophia's side. How could she not be upset?
"An accident?" the old Mrs. Lawson snorted, "It must be your fault. If not for Sophia, how could you have solved it?"
Cathy had thought that the old Mrs. Lawson was at most partial to Sophia, she didn't expect that after only a few days, she was already Sophia's firm supporter.
"Grandma, what were you talking about?"
"Didn't you understand? Sophia bought the car for you and it was only the first day, you had a car accident. What else can you do except for making troubles?"
"Grandma, not even you like me now?"
The old Mrs. Lawson didn't know what to say now.
William walked up to Cathy and said, outraged, "What do you mean by that? Of course, Grandma likes you. You just failed to live up to her expectations. She loves you."
Cathy found it ridiculous, "I can't see it at all now. Grandma used to be on my side when similar things happened, but now she seems to think that everything Sophia does is right."
"And Dad, Sophia has only just said a few sweet words to you and you're on her side now? I am your daughter!"
William didn't know how to reply now. He thought for a while and said, "Cathy, you did do it wrong. Why can't we judge you?"
"I don't think I did anything wrong. I didn't want the accident to happen. It's just an accident! I was already hurt being caught in an accident, not only didn't you comfort me, but also you yelled at me. If I had known it, I wouldn't have come back at all! You are all so mean to me now!"
Bella had also been enduring it, after hearing Cathy's words, she helped Cathy up, "Alright, let's go back to the room. We are done talking to them."
The old Mrs. Lawson started to reflect on herself. Had she been treating Cathy differently from before?
William walked up to her and said, "Mom, I think we've spoiled Cathy. You have no idea. After the car accident, I had thought Sophia would take back the car, but she didn't. She agreed to let Cathy keep the car."
"She has made a lot of compromises, but Cathy... She's so unreasonable," William said and sighed.
The old Mrs. Lawson had started to feel sorry for Cathy, but after William's words, she started to think she was right again.
It was Cathy's fault!
"Yes, you're right. Just because we scolded her doesn't mean we don't love her. She has indeed gone too far. That was a car accident! You might be killed!"
"That's what Sophia said!"
The next day.
