Malaya left the banquet with Nora in a hurry, and they both sat in the car. Nora was still crying, covering her face with both hands.
She kept blaming her mother, saying, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't randomly chosen that little slut's dress for me to wear, I wouldn't have embarrassed myself like this."
There are many people at this banquet who study at her school; it will be so embarrassing for her to go to school and face them.
George was driving while listening to his daughter's tearful words, and immediately glared at the two of them angrily.
"What did you say? This dress wasn't borrowed from Cheyenne, but rather... stolen by you?"
He was too embarrassed to finish the sentence, his face turning red with shame.
After the party, he dared not recall the scene just now. George has lived for nearly fifty years, when did he ever feel so embarrassed?
He accidentally stepped on the brake pedal under his feet, and the speeding car suddenly came to a stop by the side of the road.
Due to the inertia of the movement, the mother and daughter sitting in the back seat collided with the car seats, emitting two screams in surprise.
"Ah!"
Malaya reached out and straightened her car seat, her beautiful eyes filled with displeasure as she glared.
"Why are you speaking so harshly? What do you mean by 'stealing'? We're all family. We just borrowed it to wear for a while, and we'll return it."
If she wasn't his wife, George would have scolded her for what she said.
Taking someone's dress without their consent is called stealing, isn't it?
Nora caused him to lose four million for no reason at all!
How dare she cry!
Nora has always been the pride of her parents and a role model in the eyes of her classmates. There have always been people around her flattering her.
Suddenly suffering from this shame, the blame in her father's eyes felt like a sharp knife stabbing into her heart.
"Dad, you only know how to defend Cheyenne. She could have asked Master Iker to forgive us and we wouldn't have had to pay the four million, but she didn't!"
"Cheyenne just wants to see us make a fool of ourselves. She doesn't take us as family or me as her sister!"
As she spoke, the crystal tears fell like broken pearls, making a pitter-patter sound as they dropped onto her skirt.
Malaya gently patted Nora's back to comfort her, feeling equally uneasy inside.
The damn Cheyenne was really a trouble.
If only she had known, she should never have been lenient with Cheyenne back then. She should have made Cheyenne shut up forever, just like her foolish mother.
George listened to the conversation between the mother and daughter, sighing heavily as he gazed ahead at the wide road. He started up the car again, driving forward with a tone of resignation in his voice. "Let's go back for now."
All three of them were only thinking about losing face at the banquet, not realizing that things were about to get much worse.
When Cheyenne returned, her first order of business was to kick them all out!
