When Mike glanced at Kate indifferently, his dark eyes flashed with a trace of cunning and evil spirit that she could understand, like a cold star in the night sky.
Kate clenched her fists and stood there, not saying anything. She didn't know what to say. She didn't want to make an apology or to be rude.
However, Daniel grabbed Kate's arm and walked close to Mike with a smile on his face. "Uncle, don't lower yourself to the same level as her."
"Okay, I see." Mike raised his eyebrows and looked a little cold, as if he was dissatisfied with Kate's indifference.
Seeing that Kate was speechless at the moment, Daniel coughed unhappily to remind her, but she still stood there motionlessly without saying a word.
Daniel's grandmother's face darkened.
Ruby watched all this quietly. Her eyes were as cunning as a fox lurking at night, and he wouldn't miss any clues.
The other mother and daughter were happy to see the drama. Sitting at the outermost part of the room, Betty and her mother whispered, "Look, she's done to offend Mr. Leng this time. She doesn't know if she offended Mr. Leng, she offended her future mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law is Mr. Leng's sister! What a stupid bitch!"
The two of them gloated, as if they were waiting to see a good show.
The other members of the Gu Family didn't say anything more. None of them wanted to offended Mr. Leng. But now Kate offended and embarrassed Mr. Leng.
Daniel's grandmother couldn't stand it anymore and said in a harsh voice, "Kate, Mike is the uncle of Daniel. You have to respect the elders, okay? Now make an apology."
'What the hell.
He is my elder?
You must be kidding me. I don't want to have such an elder! He goes against every fiber of my being. I don't want to make an apology, ' Kate thought to herself.
The complacent Betty couldn't hold her breath anymore. When she was about to open her mouth, Carla grabbed her in time and looked at her stepdaughter with a stern voice, "Kate, why are you so impolite?"
Carla said as she stared aggressively at Kate.
Kate felt her anger rise as she heard Carla's words.
Kate was not pleased. She was afraid of Mike because she was worried that Mike was that man who had slept with her, and she was also afraid that Mike would deliberately find fault with her and make her lose a well-paid job.
But she was not afraid of Betty and Carla, the shameless daughter and mother.
Suddenly, a sharp light went straight to Carla's delicate face. Kate remembered one thing.
She remembered that her mother had a fierce quarrel with her father before the car accident. In fact, she had heard part of the content, about Carla's story. But now she was a little suspicious about Carla.
Kate thought there was something weird in her mother's car accident. But her host was a weak and timid girl, so her host hadn't dared investigate it before.
But she was not her host. She must get to the bottom of the accident.
A sense of hatred rose from Kate's chest as she thought about this.
If Carla and Betty were really involved in her mother's accident, she wouldn't let them go.
She must let them pay a heavy price!
Withdrawing the anger in her eyes just now, Kate pretended to be weak and said carefully, "Mr. Leng, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. Please forgive me." Kate didn't want to call Mike uncle. Now that she had dealt with the matter of Mike, she would teach Carla and her daughter a lesson.
No matter whether Mike was satisfied or not, Kate turned her head and asked weakly, "Sister, why are you so impolite? Why didn't you take off your mask when you met the elders of the Gu Family? Please show respect to others."
Kate's words reminded everyone in the room.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the direction of Betty, like the inquiring flashlight, on her little face covered with a mask. Their eyes continued to wander from Betty's face and the mask.
"You! How could you say that?" Carla and Betty stared at Kate almost at the same time. If looks could kill, Kate would not be standing here right now.
The corners of Mike's lips curled into a meaningful smile, as if he was eager to find out what would happen next.
Sure enough, Daniel's grandmother face was full of anger. She glanced at the direction of Betty and seemed to be a little disgusted. Betty noticed that Daniel's grandmother was so unhappy.
So Betty deliberately looked at Daniel with pleading eyes.
Carla panicked. Her mind was blank. She wanted to say something to defend her daughter, but she didn't know what to say. She only clenched her fists, and the muscles on her face were twitching. Her eyes were as sharp as knives. She looked at Kate's pretty face and saw Kate's complacency and contempt.
Carla was even more furious. She gave a hard look at Kate and decided to teach her a lesson.
But Kate just sat there and looked innocent.
Ruby sat there smartly, watching everyone's reaction. There were many relatives of the Gu Family here. Everyone's eyes wandered over. At this time, they saw Daniel standing up. "Grandma, Betty's face is injured! Please don't ask her to take off her mask," Daniel said anxiously.
"Sit here," Daniel's grandmother ordered her grandson, pointing at the place beside Kate.
Her attitude was self-evident. She indicated that Daniel shouldn't involve in this issue.
"Grandma, please!" Daniel said anxiously.
Daniel took a resentful look at Kate and sat next to her reluctantly. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "You made a fool of Betty on purpose! Why did you do that?"
"No, I didn't. I'm sure you must be mistaken about that," Kate pretended to be aggrieved, and in the eyes of the crowd, she was even more weak and innocent.
"You!" Daniel was speechless and quivering with Kate's words.
On the other side, Betty was sitting there and looking at Daniel with a pitiful look. Her eyes were full of tears and her red fingertips trembled. She seemed to be afraid that they would expose her mask in public.
"My sister is as beautiful as a fairy!" Kate praised Betty with a smile.
"Really?" A young girl from the Gu Family said in surprise, "I want to see her face!"
