As Stella Monroe spoke again, the students watching nearby grew increasingly dissatisfied with Sumr Monroe.
"So she’s the stepmother, huh? But she seems quite nice, shouldn’t Sumr accept her?"
"Even if she can’t accept it in her heart, she should at least keep up appearances, right? She’s really showing a lack of manners and upbringing."
Sumr’s eyes were icy cold like a dark moon.
She took a deep look at Stella and suddenly smirked sarcastically, raising her voice, "You’re my aunt. After my mom passed away, you took care of my dad quite well, taking him all the way into your bed. I really should thank you, for giving my dad soone to rely on in his old age."
Stella’s face instantly froze.
Only to hear people around speaking up—
"Damn, no wonder Goddess Monroe dislikes this stepmother. She went from sister-in-law to wife. That’s rather disgusting!"
"I heard that Goddess Monroe was kicked out of the house, could it be this stepmother whispering in her dad’s ear that made him kick her out?"
"That’s exactly how those lodramatic TV shows go. Who knew real life could be this dramatic? Poor Goddess Monroe!"
"If I were this woman, I’d never have the face to appear in front of Goddess Monroe, yet she calls herself mom. Her face must be as thick as cent, where does she get the nerve?"
The comnts from the crowd grew increasingly caustic.
Stella never thought that just a single line from Sumr would make her the target of everyone’s criticism.
Her face twisted slightly, and with trembling cheeks she spoke, "Sumr, how can you say that about ? Your father pursued , after all! A widowed man and an unmarried woman, why can’t we be together?"
Right at this mont, a voice rang out—
"My family collaborates with Sumr’s family, and at Stella Monroe’s foster daughter’s funeral, I heard that the foster daughter wasn’t adopted but was Stella Monroe’s child with Sumr’s dad, born before Sumr’s actual mom passed away."
"Damn! That’s really shaless!"
"If it were , I’d kick her right now. Goddess Monroe really has good manners, holding back from hitting her until now."
Stella completely couldn’t keep her composure anymore. Seeing it was impossible to disgrace Sumr with words, she decided to cut to the chase.
With that in mind, Stella grabbed hold of Sumr’s arm.
"Sumr." She gazed at Sumr with intense eyes, "Auntie isn’t here to argue with you; Auntie just wants to take you ho. Auntie can’t rest easy with you wandering outside alone. You should co ho with !"
Having said this, she tightened her grip on Sumr’s wrist, waiting for Sumr to shake her off, planning to use the opportunity to fall.
Felix Jennings had already prepared a blood bag for her. As soon as she fell, she’d pretend to have a miscarriage.
The plan was foolproof; she was just waiting for Sumr to shake her off.
The next mont, Sumr indeed flung her hand away in disgust.
Stella imdiately tried to fall backward accordingly.
However, before she fell, Sumr stood unwaveringly and scread "Ah—", then fell backward herself.
"You..."
Stella stood frozen, watching Sumr fall to the ground before she could.
"Sadie!"
Holly Holloway was baffled by Stella’s sudden appearance earlier; now seeing Sumr fall, she quickly helped her up and asked worriedly, "Sadie, are you okay?"
Sumr shook her head, but with a pained expression, rubbed her back.
Furious, Holly glared at Stella.
She didn’t know where she found the courage but imdiately said to Stella, "Auntie, you’ve gone too far! If you don’t apologize to Sumr right now, I’ll call the police!"
