Chapter 71 Wretched Woman

Michaela and Jonathan didn’t leave the dining room after they finished their meal.

It would be awkward if they did. Besides, she was in the Xander residence at the moment, so it wouldn’t be nice for an outsider to make things worse.

It wasn’t until she heard Mavis’ harsh words that she hid behind the dining room’s entrance and carefully observed the situation inside the living room.

She always thought the old woman was kind and warm. It wasn’t until that moment she saw what Mavis was capable of.

Even the crafty Lucille was taken care of in seconds when the old woman unleashed her sharp tongue.

The old woman had seen all kinds of woman in her long life. While she wasn’t a scholar, she certainly picked up the ability to read people by observing them over the years.

It was something that no beautiful young woman could compare to her.

Intending to get her sympathy with some tears would never work.
