Mary Perryne's words were not leaving any room for kindness.
Ti flies; it seed like so things had just happened, but in fact, half of a lifeti had already passed.
From her youth, she'd now turned into a woman in her fifties. Her parents passed away a long ti ago, and there had been little interaction between both families over the years. Thus, Mary Perryne did not dwell on the matter anymore.
But to her surprise.
Phoebe Perryne has intentionally co to stir up trouble.
If Phoebe wished to provoke, then Mary would let her know — an illegitimate child remains an illegitimate child. Ti can wash away everything, but it can certainly not wash away Phoebe's label as a bastard child.
She could endure so things, but it doesn't an she is temperless.
After all these years, Mary Perryne has chosen to bring up old event!
Hearing these words, Phoebe's breath quickened, her face turned deathly pale. She nearly fainted.
She had to tell Mary that her mother, Ethel Guarino, was not a mistress.
Ethel and David Perryne were truly in love.
The one who could not have love was the mistress.
Hermosa Brain and David Perryne rely had a marriage certificate together.
Theirs was a loveless marriage!
Everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness. Ethel was just an ordinary girl on the path of love.
Now, Ethel had lost count of her birthdays, but she's still being pointed at and called a mistress by Mary.
No matter how terrible Ethel may be, she is still legally Mary's mother!
And yet Mary treats Ethel with such disdain.
How can Phoebe bear this?
Mary Perryne is such an ungrateful and vicious woman!
She herself lacks discipline and filial piety. The children she raised carried the sa lack of manners.
It's utterly disgusting.
Just as Phoebe was about to stand up to argue with Mary, her wrist was held down by Norma Augus.
The reason they ca here was with a purpose.
They didn't co to stir up trouble.
Therefore, the fewer problems the better.
With Norma's reminder, Phoebe realizes her impulsiveness. She took a deep breath, trying hard to calm herself.
You can't be impulsive.
You can't be impulsive.
If you respect neither the monk, respect the Buddha.
After all, the Thompson Clan and the White Family have a close relationship.
Norma wants to maintain her relationship with Marcus White, so she couldn't make a bitter enemy.
She needed to endure it.
At this point, Mary looked at Phoebe and said, "We're still family after all. For the sake of our late father, I can forget our grudges and call you my little sister, but you should also be aware of your place."
Don't rush to make life difficult for yourself.
If it weren't for Sir Perryne's final shred of dignity, Mary wouldn't have indulged Phoebe as she did.
Phoebe was already angry, but when she heard these words, she nearly exploded.
Mary was still the sa as before.
She never cared about the situation when she spoke.
Regardless of ti or place, her words were always disrespectful. She always said what she thought and never cared about others' dignity.
This is too much!
Phoebe took a deep breath, looked up at Mary, and forced out a weak smile, saying, "Sister, I'm sorry for upsetting you today. I was careless with my words."
At this mont, Norma Augus stood up and said, "Auntie, as a junior, I'm not in a position to inquire about the past, and thus I can't judge who's right and who's wrong. My mother is just honest and straightforward, she speaks her mind and doesn't hold things in. So, we hope you can have a big heart and not take her words to heart. I want to propose a toast to you with tea, as a way to apologize on behalf of my mother."
With this, Norma held the tea cup that was on the table.
The actions of Norma were quite decent and appropriate, and she indeed wasn't in any way involved in this matter.
Mary didn't want to cause a scene on such an occasion, so she picked up her cup and took a sip of her tea.
At this mont, Mary put down her cup, laughed and said, "People who are educated are truly different. Their words are different too. That's why, over these years, I've always liked dealing with people who are well cultured."
Cultured?
Educated?
Phoebe was almost angry to death.
Was Mary making an underhanded comnt about who's not educated?
Yes!
Ethel was uneducated.
She didn't even graduate from junior high school.
But so what?!
Hermosa Brain, a college graduate, couldn't even hold onto her husband's heart!
She still lost to Ethel, who didn't even finish junior high school.
Phoebe was grinding her teeth in anger.
Looking at Norma, she seed to not be angry at all, only laughing and saying, "Auntie, you're right. Sotis education and manners are equivalent. That's why I also like to communicate with educated people. After all, birds of a feather flock together."
