This was the first time Cherline Lindsey and Laura Waltson directly clashed over a trivial matter in daily life.
But Laura didn't gain the upper hand at all.
She was fuming inside—a million ways she felt aggrieved.
Was Cherline pretending to be aloof, or did she genuinely never see her as someone worth acknowledging?
Since returning to the country, she had acted as if Laura didn't exist!
It was so fucking humiliating!
Laura listlessly ate her meal, her gaze filled with daggers directed at Cherline's back. She wished she could learn some deadly skill, one glance enough to kill her, just to avenge the frustration pent up inside!
After dinner.
Cherline helped Penny Sullivan to the restroom again, making sure she was ready for bed, all the while displaying the caring demeanor expected of a perfect granddaughter.
For the first time in years, Penny felt like her granddaughter had truly grown up, a deep sense of joy welling up in her heart.
