Cecile had been trapped at home since the news broke.
Most of her friends ignored her call and she was wondering what had happened until Hannah called.
“Hannah, how is school?” Cecile asked.
“Mom, that bitch cheated on brother!” Hanna shouted the moment Cecile answered.
“Who? Elena? I knew that bitch wanting to leave was odd,” Cecile said through her teeth.
“No, Melanie! She cheated and her sex tape is all over the net. Everyone found out brother was married before and started scolding him. The internet wants to destroy him,” Hannah said.
Cecile felt stifled when she heard this. Her son was her glory. She could not let him get brought down by others.
“Mom, everyone says Brother can’t be trusted. They are leaving bad comments on his company website,” Hannah said and Cecile was incredibly upset.
“Instead of defending brother, that bitch, Elena mocked brother on video, now everyone is on her side,” Hannah said.
At this point, Cecile was feeling faint. She could not believe this.
“Hold on, I will call her,” Cecile said and ended the call. She immediately dialed Elena’s number but her number was not available.
“Did this bitch block me?” Cecile screamed and took a maid’s phone to try and it was still unavailable.
“Did she get rid of her line?” Cecile muttered.
Just then, she received a calls from her friend who owns a spa.
“Oh, if it isn’t Cecile. I just saw your daughter-in-law and thought of you,” Her friend said.
“Oh, sorry, Ex-daughter-in-law,” her friend mocked.
But Cecile was not angry. Wouldn’t this formed have Elena’s new number?
Elena had just come of the spa with Janet.
They got into the car and drove in silence for a while, before her phone rang again. She picked it up with a frown.
She knew this number well enough to know who it was.
This old lady how did she get her number? Why did she call?
Elena had wanted to ignore the call, but she was curious.
“Yes?” she answered.
“You really have no manners,” the person on the other end said.
“If you have nothing to say, I am going to end the call,” Elena threatened.
