Alice Turner glanced instinctively towards the gate before entering the house. The person who had been standing there earlier was nowhere to be seen, and she assud they had already gotten into the car.
Sure enough, a mont later, she saw the car parked in front of hers drive away.
If she guessed correctly, the woman she just saw must be the Mrs. Hols that Aunt Hua ntioned over the phone.
Mrs. Hols! Easton Hols’ mother.
Having heard about his mother’s actions before, she assud his mother was soone who looked difficult to get along with at first sight. But from that hurried glance earlier, she didn’t see her mother as a difficult person.
But why would his mother keep causing trouble with Lily over and over again? And now, she ca to their ho to stir things up. What was she trying to do?
Alice Turner shook her head in confusion, then turned back to enter the house. As soon as she entered, Aunt Hua approached her from a short distance near the door.
"Miss! You’re finally back?"
Recalling the incident earlier, Aunt Hua was still quite shaken. However, seeing Alice Turner return, her anxious heart cald sowhat.
Alice peeked into the house and didn’t see Sophia Wood, so she pulled Aunt Hua aside and asked in a low voice, "What exactly happened earlier?"
In the earlier phone call, a nervous Aunt Hua hadn’t said much, only ntioning that a person referred to as Mrs. Hols had aggressively co over to create a scene.
Aunt Hua didn’t imdiately answer Alice’s question. Instead, she glanced towards the living room to ensure Sophia Wood couldn’t hear or see them, then she began to recount the earlier events to Alice in a low voice.
After listening to Aunt Hua’s indignant recounting, Alice understood what had occurred. As she suspected, Mrs. Hols was there to cause trouble for her mother again.
What was wrong with that woman? Why did she look down on her sister? What exactly was wrong with her sister that made her so unlikable?
And her own mother, where was her sister going wrong? Why has she been like this to her sister for so many years?
Sotis she truly doubted whether she was the biological daughter while her sister was the stepdaughter.
With a belly full of questions, Alice headed towards the living room. When she reached the doorway, she saw Sophia Wood sitting on the sofa with an angry expression.
Hearing a sound at the door, Sophia assud it was Aunt Hua and turned her head, ready to shoo her away. But when she turned and saw Alice, the words she was about to say quickly changed to, "Why are you here?"
Alice should be at work by now; she’s a conscientious workaholic who would absolutely not be ho if it wasn’t outside of working hours.
"I ca back to grab sothing."
Alice didn’t tell the truth, worried that Sophia might pick up on sothing. She hurriedly added, "Just now, as I was coming over, I saw a woman leaving our house. Who was that woman? She seed quite angry."
The departing woman looked extraordinarily upset, and the person at ho didn’t look any better.
With the two mothers in such discord, how could the couple face each other? Wasn’t this making things difficult for the two of them?
Alas!
Alice sighed internally, but she couldn’t show it outwardly. She tried to maintain a normal appearance.
"That woman is Easton Hols’ mother."
Things developed just as Alice anticipated, and her deliberate actions successfully diverted Sophia’s attention.
