Despite Nadine’s ever–pleasing disposition and kindness in the past, Gigi and Evelyn had never accepted her as part of the family.

It was time Nadine finally stood up to them. There was no hope for turning things around at this point,

anyway.

Evelyn’s nostrils flared when she heard Nadine’s insult. She reached for the plate next to her and tried to hurl it at Nadine, but Daniel stopped her.

He pinned the plate down and snapped, “Will you look at the state of yourself? Is this how behave as an elder? Come with me!”
