Seeing so many urging them. Alice and Lisa exchanged a glance feeling a bit ashamed. They wanted to find Mary for help. but couldn’t locate her anywhere.
Rita had also quietly moved over to Yulia’s side.
“Grandma Alice, what should we do about this? Lisa asked with hint of worry.
Alice lowered her head, her face etched with forbearance, never expecting to suffer such humiliation at her age. Under everyone’s gaze, she kept weighing the pros and cons in her min
Cherise and Morris waited quietly, not in any rush.
A few minutes later, Alice slowly raised her head and looked at Cherise, sincerity in her eyes. “Mrs. Chivers, it’s my fault this time. Let me apologize to you first.
“I hope Mr. and Mrs. Chivers can forgive me for being a bit forgetful from old age.”
As soon as Alice apologized, many people breathed a sigh of relief. They thought this matter should be over now,
However, Cherise smiled casually, “Tll take your apology. But as for forgiving this, I’m really not in the mood to consider it. Let’s just leave it at that for now. It’s getting late. Honey, let’s say goodbye to Grandpa and Grandma, and head home.”
As she said this, she sounded carefree and casual, yet left Alice feeling embarrassed.
Alice was fuming, her face changing colors. After today, she didn’t know how others would view her or the Quinton family.
The Quinton family’s reputation took a severe hit today at the Jarrett residence. However, Cherise and Morris ignored her and had already moved on
There was nothing she could do. She couldn’t bring herself to shout and make them stop. Nobody there had the guts to stick up for her. Everyone was too afraid to say a word.
Morris and Cherise had already reached Lucas and Mary. Mary, much like Jean, shrugged her shoulders, her emotions unreadable.
“We’ll be leaving now,” Morris said casually.
Lucas nodded, turning to Cherise. “Cherise, I’m sorry you had to go through all this today, but you handled it well Some folks do need a lesson. Next time, when it’s just us, I’ll invite you personally
Cherise gave a gentle smile at his words and nodded. “Okay!”
With a look at Mary, Cherise and Morris left the Jarrett residence The others stayed where they were.
Seeing this, Lucas also left. “The party ends here today. Merry Christmas to you all!”
It was obvious that Lucas wasn’t bothered by what had happeried and seemed quite satisfied with how Cherise and Morris handled the situation
Many people began getting ready to leave the Jarrett residence. Yet, Alice was unwilling. She rushed over to where Mary and Jean stood.
Alice snapped, “Mary, are you just going to stand by and watch while I am bullied by your grandson and that woman? This isn’t just an attack on me. It’s clearly ant attack on the Quinton family’s dignity
“So many people witnessed the scene today. How are we supposed to hold our heads high in front of others in the furure?

Why aren’t you saying anything? Come on. Say something!”

Alice’s voice was quite loud, almost forceful, making those who were about to leave stop and watch. Mary was in a dilemma. Alice had always been quite assertive.
Jean couldn’t take it anymore. Seeing her grandmother being questioned like that, she stepped in front of Mary. “Grandma Alice, my grandma is also in a difficult position. Please don’t talk to her like that, okay? Besides, you’re the one at fault here.”
“Jean, you’re just a junior. I’m talking to your grandma. Step aside!” Alice said as she tried to pull Jean away.
“Stop it! You’re so rude! The person who said this was Lucas. He was smiling just a moment ago, but seeing Alice pulling his wife like that made his expression turn serious.
He walked over and snapped, “If you want to act out, go back to your place. This is the Jarrett residence. Cherise was right. At best, you’re influential, but honestly, you’re just an uncultured, rude woman.
“You should just go back to the Quinton residence and think about your actions, yet here you are, making a scene. If it happens again, please stay away from my wife and the Jarrett family.”
Lucas was clouded with anger. He has always been a respected man, and many were intimidated by him. Alice was naturally afraid of Luc too. She immediately wilted, stammering, unable to say a word.
In a hurry, Lisa came over, shook her head at Alice, and quickly led her out of the Jarrett residence. She was worried that if Alice said anything else to annoy Lucas, their family relations would fall apart.
Rita sighed softly and asked Yulia to head home with her. What happened today really hadn’t been pleasant for her. Especially with Cherise, a girl as beautiful as Megan but with skills several levels higher. Rita couldn’t understand or figure it
OUL
Naturally, no one would spread the news of what happened today at the Jarrett residence. However, everyone learned an important lesson. And that was, no matter what circles you’re in you can cross anyone, but never Morris’s wife, Cherise.
