Sera walked up to Angeline in a soft and gentle manner, flashing a humble, polite smile. "Thank you, Angeline."

Angeline ignored her, then turned around and left.

The sharp contrast in their attitudes made George dote on Sera more.

Shirley and Lady Severe cooked lunch at noon. Anne and the rest had already sat on the table a long time ago, and when they saw the ordinary-looking delicacies, Anne started acting up again.

"Quinella, the Severe family is different now. You should be frugal whenever you can when it comes to food. I'm afraid George won't be able to pay your alimony in the future if you keep being so extravagant and wasteful."

Angeline, who was helping Old Master Severe down the stairs, was infuriated when she heard what Anne said.

"My mother is very frugal normally. She prepared such a big feast only because you're here today. Don't be so ungrateful." Angeline snapped.

"Besides, the food on this table isn't bought using my dad's money but mine. It's alright if you're being ungrateful for eating my food and staying at my mother's house, but you should at least seal your lips." Anne looked extremely sullen and had no choice but to rub herself against George. "Look at your good daughter, George. Look how sharp her tongue is. I can say one sentence and she'll return with ten." Therefore, George reprimanded Angeline, "Jay must've indulged your bad habits. He probably couldn't stand your bad temper in the end and that's why he divorced you, right?"

Angeline looked thunderstruck as she stood rooted to the same spot as though she was struck dumb.

Old Master Severe glared sharply at George. "Know when to shut up, will you?"

Shirley walked over and pushed Angeline to the seat between her and Lady Severe.

God knew how Angeline would be able to finish this meal. Her father's words were like a knife that had stabbed her straight in the heart.

Ultimately, she pushed the remaining half a bowl of rice away. "I'm full. Enjoy your meal, everyone." Then, she turned around and went upstairs to pack her things.

Worried about her, Shirley followed her upstairs as well.

When she saw Angeline moving her belongings upstairs, Shirley stopped her on the spot. "Why are you moving when you're still so weak? Stay with me from now on. Let's not go upstairs and provoke that old hag."

"Mm." Angelina's impression toward Shirley had improved greatly lately, and thus, she accepted her invitation readily.

After lunch, both Anne and Sera went for a stroll in the backyard while Shirley and Lady Severe worked hard to clean up the dishes.

George leaned lazily on the couch.

Angeline felt extremely uncomfortable when she saw Anne and Sera walking leisurely in the garden as she stood by the window on the second floor.

Her mother probably resented Anne and Sera, but because her mother still loved her father, she was willing to put up with the unreasonable mother and daughter just to be close to her father. Angeline, taking into account her mother's meek love, had no choice but to turn a blind eye to the pair.

Initially, she thought that she would be able to live her life as normal as long as she behaved like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Though who would have thought when the three little devils came home from school that afternoon, the house would turn into a battlefield once more.
