S31 18. Break the Limit

Kara’s eyebrows furrowed. “Please don’t be angry, Mrs. Johnson. We’re not playing around. There was an emergency earlier. Now, I’ll go back to the kitchen and continue cooking, hmm?”

Kara spoke so gently. However, Diana responded with a harsh snort.

“Continue cooking you said? You think I don’t know? Sophia is the one who has been busy in the kitchen. She prepared dinner alone.”

Kara’s jaw clenched. Her chest was tight and her lungs were hot. Once might be a coincidence, but twice was intentional. Sophia and Diana had broken through the limits of her tolerance.

“Sorry, Mrs. Johnson. I don’t understand whether you close your eyes on purpose or what. But since earlier, the others and I have been busy in the kitchen. Sophia wasn’t the one who prepared all that.”

Everyone’s eyes spontaneously widened. They didn’t expect Kara’s patience to finally wear out.

Meanwhile, Diana was stunned. “You dare deny it?”

“You can check the kitchen. There are potatoes that have only been half peeled, vegetables that have just been washed, and meat that has only been half processed. Could it be that Sophia did all that alone?”

Diana sighed in disbelief. She looked around, hoping to find the same expression as her own. However, everyone sided with Kara.

“Kara’s right, Grandma. She’s been busy in the kitchen. She’s here now because Louis and Emily came out without wearing coats,” Philip.

Meanwhile, Frank raised his eyebrows in defiance. “Kara is telling the truth, but why are you accusing her of lying? Is it because Sophia again admitted that it was her cooking? You don’t have the heart to expose her charade?”

Diana took a deep breath. The more people who defended Kara, the more thorns grew in her chest.

“If you really mind preparing dinner, fine! There’s no need to ask everyone to support your game, let alone bringing down Sophia. She is clearly innocent!”
