Chapter 304: Is She Trying to Put on a Show?

"Juliet is here too," Willow said, her face stiffening as she forced a smile. "Isn't work keeping you busy? How do you have time to stay at home..." One after another, they came to ruin her plans!

Juliet was known for her straightforwardness. At home, she spoke her mind without regard for others' feelings. Muff occasionally scolded her, but never harshly, so Juliet's candid and free-spirited nature was understandable. "Mrs. Ward, do I need to report my work schedule to you?" Juliet glanced at her and spoke indifferently.

Everyone in the Reed family knew about Willow's interest in Jasper. Juliet didn't like this scheming woman, especially after hearing that Willow and Lily had once tried to make things difficult for Tina. She had no intention of being polite. Willow's expression froze for a moment. "What are you talking about? Our families have been close for generations. As your elder, it's only natural for me to be concerned about you."

"Hah!" Juliet laughed mockingly as she walked into the living room and sat between Tina and Willow, pushing Willow aside. "Mrs. Ward, why are you here again? Didn't Grandpa scold you enough last time?"

Willow felt as if she had been slapped in the face, feeling utterly uncomfortable. "What are you talking about, Juliet? You must be mistaken."

If she had known Juliet was here, she would have brought Lily along. With her daughter, the medical genius, by her side, she would have felt more confident and assertive.

"Really?" Juliet smiled nonchalantly and looked at the coat in Willow's hands. "This style is too old-fashioned. It's not for Tina, is it? It suits you better."

Old-fashioned? Suits her better? Willow was instantly furious. Wasn't this a roundabout way of calling her old?

"What do you mean by that?" Willow could no longer maintain her composure. "I sincerely bought this gift for Tina. This kind of embroidery is rare; how can you say that?"

She looked aggrieved, tears welling up in her eyes.

Juliet rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Mrs. Ward, my uncle isn't here right now. Who are you putting on this act for? Me and Tina? Do you think we care about your cheap tears?"

Willow's expression stiffened, anger almost bursting from her eyes. But she held back and said, "Juliet, you're being too harsh. I'm giving Tina a gift out of kindness, and you call it old-fashioned right in front of me. Is this how the Reed family teaches their children?"
