"What are they doing?" Nora said indignantly, "Didn't I already tell them not to pick on Ethan? Why didn't they listen to me?"
Elissa immediately made her way up to Nora and blocked her line of sight. "I'm sure they are only catching up. There's nothing wrong with that, right? Would you like to see some of your gifts? There's a painting and I'm sure you'd love it. It took Patrick a great deal of effort to find it."
As she said this, she exchanged glances with Ritchie, grabbed hold of Nora's wheelchair, and was about to take her up the stairs.
Seeing that Ethan was flanked on all sides by a group of men in suits and leather shoes and that the men were doing everything in their power to humiliate him, Janet was pissed off. She pursed her lips tightly, wanting to stand up for Ethan.
Just as she was about to walk to Ethan's side, her wrist was grabbed tightly by someone. "Janet! What are you doing here?"
Janet turned around and discovered that it was Kaya.
Kaya was wearing a Chanel dress, with her short hair braided and a pearl hairband on her head. She seemed to have some work done recently. Janet observed that her eyelids, which used to be single-folded and unique, were now doublefolded. She decked out from head to toe in luxury brands, like any wealthy lady.
If it weren't for the way she addressed her, which sounded gentle but tinged with sarcasm, Janet would have trouble realizing it was her.
"What's wrong?" Glancing over in Ethan's direction, Janet didn't have time to make small talk with her.
