Chapter 1200
Ivy immediately changed the water in the teacup with a hot one before thoughtfully offering it to Mrs. Shelby. “Mrs. Shelby, be careful, it’s hot.”
From beginning to end, Ivy’s actions were as skilled as if she were eating or drinking.
Meredith thought to herself that no wonder Mrs. Shelby liked Ivy so much. She was just about to turn around to say goodbye to Cooper and Nia when Mrs. Shelby threw the tea from her cup at her.
Meredith instinctively took a step back. Although she had covered her face, her hands were burned.
“Ah—” She yelped in pain.
“Mrs. Shelby!” Ivy immediately reached out to hold Mrs. Shelby’s hand. “Don’t be angry, in case you hurt yourself.”
Mrs. Shelby placed the empty teacup in Ivy’s hand. “Ivy, watch and learn. You must be determined in dealing with shameless women like her. I would like to see how she seduces Joe with a ruined face!”
Meredith was speechless, she had no energy to fight with Mrs. Shelby. She turned around and went to the washroom to wash it off.
Water trickled down her reddened burnt hand. It was so painful that she gritted her teeth.
She only knew that Mrs. Shelby used to be an intimidating person. Everyone was afraid of her, but she did not expect her to be so malicious, splashing hot water on other people’s faces.
If she did not react quickly, her face would be ruined again.
She used cold water on her burns and vaguely heard Nia’s voice. ” Grandma, where is my Mommy? I seemed to have heard her yell.”
Mrs. Shelby pretended as if nothing had happened. She sat on the sofa and smiled at the children. “No. It was the sound from the tv.”
Then, she gracefully got up, holding Nia’s and Cooper’s hands on each side, and said, “Your Mommy has left for work. Have you all finished breakfast? I’ll take you to play.”
Nia asked doubtfully, “Are you sure my Mommy didn’t yell?”
