Katherine had never treated Mrs. Grant like this before, of course, she couldn’t take it.
She slammed the chopsticks on the table, “Katherine, where’s your manner.”
Marshall looked at her, “Mom, that’s enough.”
Katherine too slammed her chopsticks on the table and looked at Mrs. Grant, smiling, “I learned all this
from you, if I’m being rude, perhaps you should look into the mirror before pointing fingers at me.”
Mrs. Grant’s face stiffened, she never knew that Katherine had such a sharp tongue.
She opened her mouth, “You…”
Katherine looked at Mrs. Grant calmly, waiting for the next word she would utter.
The way she behaved now made Mrs. Grant despised her even more than her silent and pitiful look
before.
Old Mrs. Grant frowned. She looked at Frances and lectured, “Frances, sit properly, eat quietly. Why
haven’t you learn after all these years?”
What she said embarrassed Frances to the core.
She looked at Old Mrs. Grant in displeased, “Look at the way she speaks to me now,” she said as she
glanced at Katherine.
Old Mrs. Grant’s gaze was still fixed on Frances, so Katherine took the chance to roll her eyes on Mrs.
Grant, fearlessly and arrogantly.
Mrs. Grant was furious, she clenched her teeth and pointed at Katherine, “Look at her, look at her!”
Katherine immediately put on her innocent face. She couldn’t even bear recalling her life before this,
she wanted to kill her previous self for being such a coward.
Mrs. Grant was such a bully, how could she let her walk all over her before? It’s unimaginable.’
Old Mrs. Grant glanced at Katherine, she was calm and there was no emotion shown on her face.
Clara, who was beside Mrs. Grant patted her back, “Don’t get upset, I guess Ms. Jordan didn’t mean to
be rude, perhaps she was just feeling unwell due to the pills she had taken.”
Mrs. Grant looked at Clara for a few seconds, soothed out her breath, and said, “You are such a kind-
hearted lady, looking for an excuse for other’s wrongdoing.”
Katherine on the other hand still had a good appetite, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating
again.
Marshall who sat on his seat without a word looked as calm as a cat.
Old Mrs. Grant calmed down, she reached for the napkin, wiped her mouth, and said, “I’m done with
my meal.”
She stood up as she said that and the maid dashed up to her in an instant.
Old Mrs. Grant said with her back facing them, “Enjoy your meal.”
It was obvious that she was upset.
Frances didn’t expect that Old Mrs. Grant would react this way, “Mom, you have not eaten much.”
She rose and followed Old Mrs. Grant.
Katherine was busy eating and seemed was not affected a little by what just happened.
Peter quietly put down his chopsticks. I shouldn’t have stayed for this meal if things were going to turn
out like this, he thought.
Clara was a little embarrassed, she felt uneasy as Frances went for Old Mrs. Grant.
After a moment, Marshall put down his chopsticks and turned to Clara, “Sorry you have to see that.”
Clara shook her head, “It’s okay, I guess Mrs. Grant was not in a good mood.”
Marshall nodded, “let’s eat.”
Clara bit her lips and stayed.
Marshall then turned to Peter, “Eat up, we still have to go to the office later.”
Peter quickly resumed, pretending nothing happened.
Marshall lost his appetite. He looked at Katherine and found that she was not affected by what just
happened and was still enjoying her meal.
He stared at her for a while and went back to finish his meal.
