Chapter 18 Looking Out for Us

Claire didn’t have to turn around to feel Elena’s scornful stare.

She had just eaten many snacks and was no longer hungry. She was craving the sweet and sour spare ribs. At that moment, she set the serving tongs down and turned to leave.

However, Elena grabbed her hand and said, “Ms. Lawrence, you bought so ma snacks. Why do you have to compete with us for these? Put your dish down and go have your snacks.”

Julia rushed over and pushed Elena aside. Then, she pulled Claire close behind her.

“Elena, what’s the matter? Don’t go after Claire!”

Julia wasn’t strong. But Elena fell to the ground after she pushed her. Those who were close by could see she was acting.

Smith shouted, “Julia, the crew is like a big family. We’re all in this

together. Don’t ruin the mood.”

Elena supported her bottom with her assistance. Her expression was one of great pain as if she could burst into tears at the slightest movement.
