A few middle-aged women were gathered in Blue Mountain Cafe and could be seen chatting happily.
Martha was very happy that day. She could finally show off in front of virtual-novel.net sister and friends. A pleased expression could be seen on virtual-novel.net face as virtual-novel.net shook the jade bangle on virtual-novel.net wrist. She said, “It’s nothing, my son-in-law gave this to me. I heard that it’s made of glassy jade and goes for a few hundred thousand bucks.”
The middle-aged women around virtual-novel.net were extremely envious. Their eyes were glued on the bangle on Martha’s wrist.
“Martha, isn’t your son-in-law a well-known piece of garbage? How could virtual-novel.net afford it?”
One of the women who had virtual-novel.net eyes glued on the jade bangle on Martha’s wrist asked curiously.
“Oh, that kid won the lottery a few days ago. He bought this for me out of filial piety.”
Martha was blatantly lying, yet virtual-novel.net was not ashamed of virtual-novel.net behavior at all.
On the other hand, Paula scoffed. The other women were unaware of virtual-novel.net personality. However, as Martha’s older sister, virtual-novel.net understood it very well.
“Why are you so pleased? It’s just a stupid jade bangle. I’ll ask my son-in-law to buy a pair for me later.”
Paula sipped on virtual-novel.net coffee. She looked malicious as virtual-novel.net rolled virtual-novel.net eyes and said.
“Why are you still pretending? What good thing can your useless son-in-law buy? It must be fake!”
Immediately, the air around them changed.
Then, the group of friends suddenly began to change the topic; they were all trying to curry favors with Paula now.
“Paula, you’re going to buy bangles too? I’m sure yours will be better than hers.”
“Of course, Paula’s son-in-law is so much better than Philip. He lives in a hillside villa, right?”
“Hey, Martha, didn’t I hear that you were going to buy a hillside villa as well? Which one?”
This time, someone else brought up the matter. Consequently, the focus went back to Martha as the latter had said that virtual-novel.net would be buying a hillside villa.
Martha blushed. She felt somewhat annoyed. The reason why virtual-novel.net had come out that day was to show off virtual-novel.net bangle. However, the other old women were now trying to ambush virtual-novel.net because they were jealous of her.
“I already bought it.”
Martha said and took a sip of virtual-novel.net coffee. She was so angry that virtual-novel.net had started blurting out nonsense.
“Really? Where?”
“Tell us, which one did you buy?”
“Come, take us to visit your villa.”
The group of old friends was extremely energetic and excited. They looked extremely nosey with their happy faces.
Nevertheless, Paula rained on Martha’s parade and said sarcastically, “Yeah, virtual-novel.net did. She bought the First Palace in Longford Park. It cost virtual-novel.net 200 million!”
As Paula said this, virtual-novel.net could not help but burst out laughing. As a result, laughter rippled across the room.
When Martha heard Paula’s words, virtual-novel.net became enraged. She could tell that virtual-novel.net sister had said it on purpose to humiliate her.
When Martha’s friends heard Paula’s remark, their excited faces instantly gloomed.
Nonsense!
Could Martha even afford Longford Park?
They could tell that Paula had said it to get a kick out of Martha.
“Martha, you’re at fault now. Just tell us you didn’t buy one. Why are you trying to lie to us? We won’t laugh at you.”
Her friends jeered in schadenfreude. They said they would not laugh at her, but their eyes and expressions betrayed what they truly thought.
Martha’s face turned white from green. Out of anger, virtual-novel.net got up and pointed at Paula before yelling, “Who told you I didn’t? I… I bought it! My son-in-law bought it!”
To Martha, Paula was very infuriating. The latter had always gone against virtual-novel.net ever since virtual-novel.net was young. She was so old now, and virtual-novel.net was still trying to make life difficult for her.
She had a wonderful son-in-law, so what?
As Martha thought about it, virtual-novel.net began to hate Philip even more.
He was the reason why everyone made fun of virtual-novel.net whenever virtual-novel.net was outside.
Damn it!
“Oh, are you mad? Can your useless son-in-law afford a villa? Stop joking. Can you really believe what this penniless fool is saying?”
Paula blew on virtual-novel.net freshly done nails. Her face was icy as virtual-novel.net made fun of Martha.
The last time virtual-novel.net was in the old Johnston Manor, Philip said that virtual-novel.net had bought a villa.
How could Martha believe such a blatant lie?
She only had been driven to desperate action.
“Shut up! What’s wrong with my son-in-law?”
Martha was enraged. It was true that Philip was always embarrassing her. However, virtual-novel.net only lost virtual-novel.net reputation after being exposed publicly like this.
Thus, Martha immediately pointed at Paula’s nose and yelled, “Why don’t you take a look at Samantha? How many men did virtual-novel.net sleep with before meeting Frank?” Your daughter is just a wh*re! She sold virtual-novel.net body for riches, and you’re still so proud of that? Hahaha!”
Slap!
The next second, something happened without warning!
