Chapter 781
Cherry was severely reprimanded by her mother, and had to apologize sincerely, swallowing her pride.
"Last time at the club, I saw with my own eyes that your daughter picking a fight with my daughter-in-
law, and then two days later, here she is again, under my nose, picking on my daughter-in-law.
Are the McMillians just easy targets? Even a kid can mess with us?"
Cynthia hadn't expected the club incident to come up and then gave her daughter a harsh slap on the
shoulder, "Why are you always causing trouble?"
"I'm truly sorry, Jennifer. I've failed in disciplining my daughter,"
Cynthia bowed in apology, turning to Arabella, bending a full 90 degrees and sincerely said, "I'm really
sorry. I haven't raised Cherry properly, but I promise you we'll work on it. It won't happen again."
"Mrs. Evert, you're not the one who did wrong. There's no need for you to apologize on behalf of her’
Arabella's voice was cold and clear, without any hint of taking advantage of the McMillian's influence.
Cynthia noticed that Arabella's character matched Jennifer's well as if she was born into the McMillian
family.
They truly seemed like mother and daughter.
"You're kind and understanding, it's all Cherry's fault. She's been spoiled rotten by us."
As Cynthia said that, she turned to her daughter and curiously asked her, "What happened to the cake
earlier?"
Cherry didn't expect her mother to ask that and was at a loss for words.
Cynthia's tone turned fiercer, "If the CCTV can't find it, I have my ways. Better tell the truth, or I'll skin
you alive!"
Cherry was frightened and finally mumbled with her head lowered, "I knocked it over myself.’
Cynthia was furious and asked, "With what? How did you do it?"
"I was angry about the country club incident, so when I saw her passing by, I knocked the cupcake over
with my elbow.’
Cynthia then gave her a hard slap across the face.
Cherry was stunned, looking at her mother in disbelief.
"Is this how I have raised you all these years? You can dislike someone, avoid them, not befriend them,
but you absolutely cannot harm them! Today, not only did you try to harm someone, but you also did it
through despicable means! How could you turn out this way? At eighteen, you're an adult, yet you're
doing these irrational things!"
Cherry was scared by her mother's anger and started crying.
"Foolish! Anyone would think this is the Evert family’s usual behavior!” Cynthia made her apologize
again.
This time, Cherry couldn't brush it off and apologized sincerely.
"What about you guys?" Jennifer angrily looked at Cherry's friends.
The girls were terrified and hurriedly apologized.
"We're sorry, Jennifer, sorry, Arabella. We did see Cherry knock the cupcake over but didn't stand up
for Arabella, that was wrong of us."
"It's all my fault, please give me another chance."
"We're sorry, truly sorry.’
Seeing how scared they were, Arabella and Jennifer decided to let
it go and went upstairs for afternoon tea.
Cynthia quickly arranged with the restaurant manager to have a tab, meaning that any expenses
incurred by the McMillians or
Arabella in the restaurant would be charged to the Everts.
After that, she dragged Cherry home for a stern lecture.
