"You!" Mrs. Morgan immediately caught the implication in her words, her anger surging as she raised her voice, "Just as I thought, if the head of the family is crooked, the kids will follow. The elder's got no manners, so she raised this little brat with no manners, dragging my grandson into a place like this!"
"Mrs. Morgan, mind your words!"
Vera Warner's face went cold instantly. She respected the other as an elder, but that didn't mean she'd tolerate anyone insulting her daughter at will.
"The truth hasn't been uncovered yet, and Mrs. Morgan is here slandering me and my daughter. Seems the Morgan family's upbringing isn't much to brag about!"
"You..." Mrs. Morgan's face turned ashen with rage. Suddenly, she raised her arm and slapped hard toward Vera Warner.
The fierce wind from her slap rushed at her; Vera Warner was caught off guard, hadn't had time to react, when suddenly someone grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
She stumbled a few steps, falling into an embrace.
