Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S21 26. A Mother’s Jealousy

Before Susan had time to reply, Melanie left the dining room. At that moment, Barbara stood up with a lazy expression.

“Happy birthday, Mrs. Martin. Please excuse me too.”

Without second thought, Barbara went after her mother. The others could only be stunned. However, after a brief silence, they continued to have fun.

“They can still laugh after offending me and Mommy?” Barbara

grumbled, pausing to make sure she hadn’t heard wrong. “They are simply too much!”

Suddenly, Philip appeared before her. He had just delivered the chair to the back veranda. “Where are you going? The party isn’t finished.”

Philip’s voice spread the tension within Barbara. The girl

spontaneously closed her mouth. But then, folding her arms, she lifted her chin. “What do you care?”

Philip shrugged. “Just asking.” Without further ado, he stepped into the dining room.

“Wait!”

Philip looked over his shoulder. “What?”

“Those two guests…. Who are they?”

Philip raised an eyebrow. “You didn’t know?”

Barbara rolled her eyes slowly. “Why would I ask if I already know?” she grumbled faintly.

Philip turned back to face Barbara. “Mrs. Bell is Norman Harper’s ex- girlfriend. She was abandoned while she was pregnant with Mr.

Jeremy because Norman Harper was betrothed to your mother.”

Barbara turned still. Her expression was kept cold, but Philip knew she was suppressing surprise.

“Is the information clear enough?”

Barbara blinked. Raising one shoulder, she whispered, “Actually, I already know that. I just wanted to test your knowledge.”

A second later, she walked away. Looking at Barbara’s retreating back, Philip furrowed his brows.
