Chapter 689
Jade snorted coolly right then. "Could've done that earlier, but you had to drag your feet. How impudent."Beside her, Luna's eyes flashed with obvious glee, as if Helen was kneeling to her and not to Fleur.
She was clearly upset that Helen was chosen as a candidate for the next head of the Lane family, but so what if she was? In theend, Helen still had to kneel before her grandma.
On the other hand, Frank was frowning as he watched Helen kneel.novelbin
He was already sick of such ugly tradition, and even Godwin Lawrence—the most corrupt man Frank ever knew—nevermaintained such tradition.
In contrast, the fact that some paltry households would maintain it made it clear they were used to bullying the youngergeneration.
Still, Frank bore with it, staying silent since being a candidate for the next head of the Lane family was very important to Helen.
Meanwhile, Fleur remained apathetic as she sat there, watching Helen kneel. She waited until Helen's fingers started shakingfrom holding the teacup before nodding in satisfaction, and slowly took it.
However, she only took a sip when her face fell, and she spat it at Helen's face!Smashing the teacup into pieces on the floor, she pointed at Helen and snapped, "You wretch! Are you trying to burn me?!"
“What the hell, Helen?" Luna exclaimed, glaring at Helen while bringing a towel to wipe Fleur's lips. "Are you trying to hurtGrandma?!"
Helen scowled—Luna and Fleur's reactions were clearly scripted and meant to frame her!And the fact that Fleur spat the tea at her meant this was never tradition—it was a barenaked insult.
In fact, Fleur did not come because she was interested in Helen as a candidate for the next head of the Lane family. Instead, shewas here to assert her authority over Helen and bully her!
At the same time, Jade was glowering and shouting at Helen, "What's your problem? You can't even make a cup of tea?!"
"She's just used to keeping company with savages,” Luna gloated gleefully. "She knows nothing of the tradition of the upperclass."
"Oh, it's just a misunderstanding." Gina promptly cleaned up the mess on the floor, shaking her head. "! had the tea myself. Itwon't burn!"
Fleur's face fell. "What, are you accusing me of lying? That I'm harassing Helen?""No, no, no, of course not." Gina quickly apologized, afraid of arguing at all.
Jade, Fleur, and Luna were smilinggleefully at Gina's spookedreaction—she was clearly spineless,and her daughter would not amountto much. The content is onNovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
