86: Chapter 86: The Cool and Beautiful Sister-in-Law 86: Chapter 86: The Cool and Beautiful Sister-in-Law Emily Parker glanced at Maria Carter; so this was her little sister-in-law.
In fact, she had arrived much earlier, only she had been in the small clinic across the street.
Watching Maria Carter arrive, Emily Parker was just about to join her when she saw Alia Willow and a male student entering the milk tea shop together.
Emily Parker was a step behind when she entered, which allowed her to witness the commotion that had just happened.
Unaware until she saw for herself, Emily Parker realized that Alia Willow was quite cunning.
Perhaps due to spending so much ti with Sophie Parker, the previously obedient student Alia Willow was changing—her temper, dressing style, and way of speaking had all beco increasingly similar to Sophie’s.
When Emily Parker entered, she noticed Alia Willow’s foot right away.
Looking at Alia’s posture and expression, Emily deduced that Alia had not sprained her ankle at all but was pretending, trying to embarrass Maria Carter.
Such tactics were nothing new; Emily had often seen Sophie use them when they were kids.
Each ti, Father Parker would scold Emily for it.
This Maria Carter appeared arrogant and willful, but she was in fact a naïve and simple person, no match for Alia Willow.
Alia Willow did not realize that Emily Parker had seen through her tricks.
In Alia’s eyes, Emily Parker was just a small nurse, with no knowledge of dicine.
Emily Parker had also heard what Charles Pond had said earlier while she was outside.
Although nominally a daughter-in-law of the Carter family, with Mrs.
Carter being very kind to her as her mother-in-law, Emily could not tolerate outsiders criticizing her mother-in-law in front of her; she couldn’t let them treat her as a sick cat.
“Maria Carter, do you know this crazy woman?
Let her release my hand.”
Unable to shake off Emily Parker’s grip, Charles Pond had to implore Maria Carter.
Maria Carter had liked him since they were children and had always heeded his words; surely she would plead for him.
But this ti, Maria Carter remained silent.
It was true she liked Charles Pond, but she didn’t allow anyone to speak ill of her mother.
The fact that there was so much disrespect for her mother in the high society of the Capital was beyond her expectations.
“Apologize, did you hear ?”
Emily Parker’s fingers suddenly tightened, causing Charles Pond to wince in pain, grimacing as his handso face contorted.
It felt like his hand was about to break, and with a pitiful look, he turned towards Maria Carter who hesitated but, thinking of her insulted mother, stayed silent.
Charles Pond, pampered since birth, had never suffered like this.
Seeing that Maria Carter wouldn’t help him, he squeezed out a few words through clenched teeth,
“Sorry.”
“Louder,”
Emily Parker didn’t let go, forcing Charles Pond to shout out loud,
“I’m sorry, I was wrong.
I shouldn’t have spoken about Mrs.
Carter that way.
Maria Carter, I’ve apologized already, please let her let go.”
Maria Carter glanced at Emily Parker, and with a lift of her lips, Emily flicked her hand, sending Charles Pond stumbling backward uncontrollably and crashing into Alia Willow.
Alia called out in pain as she collided with Charles Pond.
Charles, a tall man, not light-weight; his entire 160-pound fra pressed down on Alia, with one foot even stepping on her.
Alia Willow imdiately cried out in pain,
“My foot, my foot.”
Charles Pond quickly got up and tried to help Alia Willow, who couldn’t stand at all.
This ti, her ankle was genuinely sprained.
In a rush, Charles Pond carried Alia Willow away, glaring at Emily Parker before hurriedly taking Alia to the infirmary.
“Charles Pond!”
Seeing that Charles Pond left without glancing back, Maria Carter couldn’t hold back and her eyes filled with tears.
Emily Parker handed her backpack to her.
Feeling indignant, Maria Carter stomped her foot.
“Who asked you to ddle?”
She snatched her backpack and stord off angrily.
“She has the sa temper as Carlos; both are equally unreasonable.”
Emily Parker shrugged helplessly.
Maria Carter ran all the way to the alley, where her group of close friends waited with others, expecting her to bring soone over.
But they only saw Maria Carter alone.
“Maria, where’s that woman?
Just now I saw a woman walk into the milk tea shop.
We were going to confront her and teach her a lesson for you.”
Maria Carter hesitated and said softly,
“Forget it, she already gave back my backpack.
I don’t think she is so bad after all.”
Maria Carter wouldn’t admit it, but seeing Emily Parker discipline Charles Pond and Alia Willow just now, she thought it was so cool!
Her girlfriends looked at each other, perplexed as Maria Carter seed to change her mind in the blink of an eye.
