Chapter 248

The atmosphere at the dining table instantly became very serious.

A mix of low pressure emanated from several people, a bit intimidating. The servants who were waiting on the side for instructions were scared and retreated.

Chris and his wife both looked up, glaring at Lianne.

Eder frowned and his face turned cold, his expression beneath the ghost mask particularly gloomy.

Lianne also felt a chill from this situation, but she arrogantly snorted, forcibly reclaiming her presence. “Why are you all looking at me? Everything I said is the truth.”

She wanted to say it right in front of Eder, making him see that Laura was nothing but a dirty slut!

Mr. Smith was a little unhappy and coughed lightly twice. “We’re having a meal. Why are you bringing these things up? Shut up and eat your food!”

Lianne was still quite tactful, knowing that she had already achieved her goal of provoking a conversation.

The gaze of Chris and his wife, as well as Eder, turned to Grace who was sitting beside them.

She was quietly eating her meal, her face devoid of any extra expression, as if she hadn’t heard. Lianne’s words just now.

This was not like her usual retaliatory personality.

Eder found it strange and tentatively picked up a mushroom, which she didn’t like, and put it in her bowl. “This one is nutritious, and the taste is actually not bad. You should eat more.”

Grace’s hand suddenly stopped. In front of everyone, she didn’t speak but just stared back at Eder.

Only Eder knew that this stare was a warning, indicating that she was clearly holding back her anger.

She had anger inside but didn’t release it, which was not her usual style.

Eder didn’t know what she was thinking, but he knew that if he let that mushroom, which she disliked the most, end up in her bowl, he might experience something when they returned home tonight.

So he consciously picked the mushroom back from her bowl and ate it himself.

Grace’s expression finally eased.
