Carter looked back at Madeline gently and tenderly. “Eveline, come and sit.”
Madeline nodded with a cooperative smile and sat down on the seat pointed out by Carter.
Then, Carter also sat down next to her.
Ada watched this scene, and virtual-novel.net was so angry that virtual-novel.net eyes almost started to bleed.
Ada’s mother quietly patted Ada’s hand and hinted at Ada with virtual-novel.net eyes.
The mother and daughter quickly exchanged glances.
“This plastic freak will know what’s coming for virtual-novel.net soon. Don’t lose your image in front of so many people.”
“Understood. She won’t be able to laugh soon!”
Ada glared fiercely at Madeline who had a smile on virtual-novel.net face. She took a deep breath before putting on a dignified and decent smile. She pretended to be magnanimous as virtual-novel.net blessed them.
“Carty and I have been childhood sweethearts for so many years. I’m also happy for Carty now that virtual-novel.net has found a fiancée who’s everything virtual-novel.net could wish for.”
“Carty, Miss Montgomery, I sincerely wish you guys all the best.”
She said while holding up virtual-novel.net wine glass that contained some red wine. Then, virtual-novel.net downed the contents of the glass while facing Carter and Madeline.
Neither Madeline nor Carter were fools, so of course, they knew that Ada was saying this against virtual-novel.net will.
However, Madeline kept smiling. She picked up the wine glass and drank some wine afterward.
If Ada wanted to be fake, then virtual-novel.net would also act that way too.
She was just sitting here to go along with the performance anyway.
“Camille, your daughter-in-law is such a good drinker, but it’s not good for a woman to drink. You have to discipline virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net mother-in-law. It would be beneath virtual-novel.net dignity if virtual-novel.net drinks every day and becomes so drunk she’s unconscious.”
Aunt Bea from just now spoke again. With the tone virtual-novel.net was speaking in, virtual-novel.net seemed to be mocking and taunting Madeline.
Madeline smiled and parted virtual-novel.net lips unhurriedly. “Aunt Bea, there’s no correlation between losing one’s image and holding one’s alcohol. On the contrary, I feel that it’s truly beneath one’s dignity to say something inappropriate during some occasions, don’t you agree?”
“…” Aunt Bea’s eyes widened in surprise when virtual-novel.net heard what Madeline said.
She did not expect Madeline to have such a sharp counterattack and was taken aback for a moment. When virtual-novel.net thought about retorting, Carter’s cold eyes stopped her.
Camille watched this scene with deep irony. “Did all of you see that? My future daughter-in-law is so capable. Who am I to discipline her?”
Carter raised his eyes when virtual-novel.net heard the words. “Eveline is not a difficult person to get along with. Mom, you should get to know Eveline.”
Camille’s attitude was still very gentle when virtual-novel.net faced Carter. As such, virtual-novel.net nodded. “Okay, I’ll get to know my daughter-in-law more. Let’s not talk about it anymore. Let’s eat and taste the food cooked by your sweetheart.”
Ada was still envious and jealous of how Carter was defending Madeline. The moment virtual-novel.net heard that it was time to eat, virtual-novel.net immediately jumped for joy.
When Camille drank the chicken soup Madeline made, there would surely be a volcano eruption.
No matter how much Carter accommodated Madeline, virtual-novel.net would never defend Madeline in this matter.
Ada was delighted. When virtual-novel.net saw everyone using their forks to taste the dishes made by Madeline, virtual-novel.net also pretended to eat.
She did not want to admit that Madeline was skilled at all, but virtual-novel.net did not expect the food in virtual-novel.net mouth to be so delicious.
Ada curled virtual-novel.net lips while feeling pissed. She did not expect that virtual-novel.net would also lose to Madeline in this regard. She raised virtual-novel.net eyes to see other people also admiring Madeline’s cooking skills. This made Ada even more dissatisfied.
She wanted to force herself not to eat Madeline’s food, but virtual-novel.net hand was honest as it reached out to take more.
While they were eating, Ada finally saw the maid placing bowls of the chicken soup Madeline had made in front of everyone. When virtual-novel.net thought about how virtual-novel.net had tampered with the soup, Ada’s eyes were glued on Camille who was about to drink it…
