Chapter 433: Max is Aweso_1
“Purple, what’s wrong?” Zara Jason and Jane McCain’s voices snapped Purple Sumrs back to reality.
“Oh… nothing.” Purple Sumrs chuckled and said, “You guys are only what, seventeen or eighteen? Already thinking about maintaining your youth? Talk to in ten years!”
Jane McCain teased her, “Hey, listen to how high and mighty you talk, aren’t you the sa age as us?”
While speaking, she started to tickle Purple, “…making you pay for trying to act mature, making you pay!”
Zara Jason laughed on the side, “Jane, tickle her, tickle her, I can’t stand to see her putting on this act of being so old and serious.”
“That’s just my natural deanor, a true expression of my feelings!” Purple Sumrs defended herself with a laugh as she dodged.
The three girls laughed and ssed around, becoming a jolly ss.
Soon it was noon, and the feast began.
The servants lined up the exquisite dishes one by one on the table, far surpassing the self-serve dessert and fruit plates from before. Now, the spread was a truly luxurious banquet with lobsters, abalones, foie gras, steaks, presenting both exceptional flavor and appearance.
After their fun, they were all famished and ready to sit down to eat, but Purple Sumrs pulled them back.
“What’s up?” Jane McCain looked back at her, puzzled.
Zara Jason was also curious and stood looking at the two of them.
“Jane, will Max bark when he sees strangers?” Purple Sumrs suddenly asked.
“Of course.” Jane McCain imdiately responded, “Max’s mother even earned military honors. He’s of noble breed and very sharp. He isn’t reacting now because I’m here, and he knows you’re my friends.”
After answering, she asked curiously, “Purple, why are you suddenly asking about this?”
Purple Sumrs grinned mysteriously, motioning with her hand for the two girls to co closer and whispered, “Follow …”
The luncheon had begun, and the guests were all taking their seats, but the three girls stood out as they headed towards the main entrance.
Not too far away, Yolanda Sumrs saw them and scoffed coldly, “No manners.”
As she took her seat, Yolanda Sumrs noticed Jade Carlson, recalling how Jade had now beco a favorite of Mrs. Farrell’s. Wanting to get on her good side, Yolanda greeted her with a smile, “Aunt Jade.”
Jade Carlson, seeing her, also smiled broadly, “Why haven’t I seen Laura today?”
“Oh, she’s getting treatnt out of town. My dad didn’t want to delay her treatnt, so we didn’t bring her back for the holiday.” ntioning Laura Sumrs made Yolanda Sumrs sowhat uncomfortable.
Jade Carlson asked with concern, “What kind of illness? Do you need to introduce a doctor?”
Jade Carlson always presented herself as very caring and well-connected, which made her more popular with the Sumrs sisters than the overly principled Suzanne Saunders.
Yolanda Sumrs vaguely replied, “It’s nothing much, just too much pressure from studying, couldn’t eat or sleep. She’s been getting better recently.”
The implication was that Jade Carlson’s help was not needed.
ntions of ntal illness always carried so stigma, with people wondering whether it was hereditary. If the sister had it, could the other get it? What about future children?
If Laura Sumrs’ ntal breakdown beca public knowledge, Yolanda Sumrs’ prospects for marriage would be difficult!
Not wanting to talk about Laura Sumrs any further, Yolanda pretended to be affectionate and took Jade Carlson’s arm, “Aunt Jade, why haven’t you co to see my uncle lately…”
She moved a bit too enthusiastically and bumped into Jade Carlson’s small purse, causing its contents to be exposed—
“What are you doing?!” Jade Carlson suddenly snapped.
Yolanda Sumrs was startled by her intense reaction, and the nearby guests turned to look as well.
Jade Carlson quickly forced a smile, snapped her purse shut, and explained, “Sorry, Yolanda, I overreacted… Everything in this bag belongs to Mrs. Farrell, so I’m quite nervous about it.”
“It’s okay, it was my fault…” Yolanda Sumrs mumbled, feeling embarrassed.
Jade Carlson smiled briefly, then hurried off to find Mrs. Farrell.
Yolanda Sumrs stood there, feeling sowhat perplexed.
