Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 410

It was no wonder that the other parents in the class were so afraid of Bethany's family.

It also dawned on her why she found the voice on the phone last night so familiar.

A chubby girl with twin ponytails ran toward them and threw herself into Violet's arms.

"Grandma!" she greeted Violet sweetly.

When she smiled, her eyes twinkled like stars in the sky. At first glance, Bethany seemed to be a lively and adorable girl, without any trace of having a nasty personality that the homeroom teacher and Aster had described.

Violet smiled widely in response, making faint smile lines appear around her eyes.

She fixed an affectionate gaze on her granddaughter and patted her lovingly on the head before grabbing her hand.

The homeroom teacher called Aster over and handed her to Larissa.

Violet glanced at Aster and murmured with a hint of regret, "He looks so much like you. What a beautiful son you have."

Larissa smiled politely and spoke to Aster, "You should say thank you to Mrs. Rogers."

Aster repeated obediently, "Thank you, Mrs. Rogers!"

"You're welcome." The fine lines on Violet's face deepened as she stared at Aster with a perplexed look.

Noticing that her grandmother's attention was being diverted to someone else, the smile on Bethany's face disappeared, and a vengeful expression appeared instead.

It wasn't an expression that belonged to a five-year-old.

That resentful gaze sent shivers down Larissa's spine.

"Grandma!" She tugged on Violet's hand and pouted in a cute voice, as if the look of malice on her face just now was just a figment of Larissa's imagination.

Violet looked down at Bethany and inquired gently, "What's wrong, Bethany?"

Bethany tugged on Violet's hand, eager to leave. "I'm hungry. Let's go home quickly!"

"Wait a minute!" Larissa called out to them.

Violet turned around and asked with anticipation, "Yes?"

Larissa brought Aster to her and said, "Ma'am, there's something I need to tell you."
