Although she felt a bit disappointed, compared to the other wives she usually associated with, she was obviously much happier.
Her husband was successful in his career and never unfaithful.
She had a son and daughter, both of whom were very promising, qualifying her as a life winner.
How could such good days just disappear?
She would never allow it.
Charlotte Chester thought chaotically and realized she had to stop Mia Ginger from suing, so she stopped eating her apple and sat on the sofa, wholeheartedly waiting for Mia Ginger.
After a while—
Mia Ginger ca down from upstairs.
Her cal coat was open, revealing a white turtleneck sweater paired with dark jeans underneath.
Her small face was entirely tucked into the high collar of the sweater, eyes not even lifting, obviously lacking any intention to greet or say goodbye to her.
Charlotte Chester, watching her from the sofa, suddenly beca furious.
She shouted, "Stop right there!"
Mia Ginger was montarily stunned, hesitated for a bit, and then stopped in her tracks, looking at her expressionlessly as she said, "I’m going to school, attendance is at six thirty."
"Don’t be in a hurry, let’s talk about earlier things properly." Charlotte Chester got up, ca to her side, and tried to pull her by the wrist to sit by the sofa.
Mia Ginger remained standing, her voice stiff as she said, "Mom, I really don’t have ti."
"There’s no class tonight, there’s no rush."
Mia Ginger shook off her hand, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "If you want to talk about Zuri Ginger, my answer won’t change."
"Do you really want to disgrace the family to be happy?!" Charlotte Chester’s patience also reached its limit, in a flustered and exasperated state.
"How many tis do I have to repeat it? Is it true that I’m the one who wants to disgrace the family?" Mia Ginger clutched the strap of her backpack tightly, saying each word distinctly, "The one trying to harm is Zuri Ginger, the one disgracing is also Zuri Ginger, it has nothing to do with . She broke the law, so naturally, she has to accept legal punishnt, which isn’t up to , it’s supposed to be this way."
"Isn’t whether to sue just a matter of your one word?"
"I will sue!" Mia Ginger’s voice abruptly rose an octave, "Why shouldn’t I sue?! If I wasn’t lucky, have you considered what my situation would be now? Just because nothing happened to , Zuri Ginger’s mistakes can be written off? The incident occurred, and she hasn’t even given a sincere apology! You are my mother, not her mother, why not speak on my behalf, put yourself in my shoes, is this how a mom should be?!"
"What’s wrong with being a mom like ?" Charlotte Chester, seeing her eyes brimming with tears, felt extrely annoyed and questioned, "Do you think a mom like isn’t good? Are you thinking about your short-lived ghost mother? Truly, you take after whoever raises you! Look at how unreasonable you are!"
"I’m unreasonable?" Mia Ginger retorted with an angry laugh, "Who’s really being unreasonable? What did you do? Take her in, providing good food and drink?! Do you even have any sense of right and wrong, or did you do sothing shady, being blackmailed by her..."
Before Mia Ginger could finish her words, with a crisp "slap", Charlotte Chester slapped her to the ground.
After a mont of silence in the hall, Bob Ginger rushed down the stairs, loudly saying, "Mom, what are you doing!"
Charlotte Chester was also dumbfounded, looking at her own reddened palm, speechless.
"Sis!" Bob Ginger dropped to his knees beside Mia Ginger, supporting her arm, "Are you okay, are you hurt?"
