Chapter 40 Their intimate behavior got many people stunned. Because most of the couples were only together out of mutual business interests. No one but the two of them could have these sweet and natural interactions with each other. “Manners, please! It’s not in your bedroom,” said Freda with the majesty of a hostess. With her eyebrows twisting together, Evelyn said, “Freda, we were just having a private conversation. I don’t think it’s something against the manners. She didn’t care if there were guests around and directly talked back. It was her plan to make a huge mess of the Jackson family anyway. So Freda would be too tired to deal with them and asked them to move out. Earl, who was ignored by Evelyn earlier this day, took the chance for revenge and said to her, “Evelyn, I thought you were educated but I seem to be wrong. Otherwise, why would you construe mom’s joke as a scold?” Evelyn clapped her hands and said ironically, “Sorry, I didn’t know words like that could be defined as a joke. She kept her innocent smile but then fixed her eyes on Vivian. Don’t you think you stayed too close to Earl?” Vivian had already felt guilty, and she had been worrying that Eric would tip Earl off about their past relationship. Evelyn’s sudden attention on her made Vivian startled. She looked at Earl blankly, wishing for a rescue. Earl sneered at Evelyn and said calmly, “It turns out that you like to hold a grudge. “Yeah,” Evelyn admitted that frankly, “I’m born this way. So you’d better mind your language when talking to me. She had made that clear. If anyone ever pissed her off again in the future, she wouldn’t easily let him go. Freda went off on her, “Evelyn, there are elders here. What ridiculous things are you saying?” She would have shouted at her earlier if there was nobody around. Evelyn repeated the words Earl used to describe her just now, “Sorry, but I’m not an educated woman and I don’t know how respect is spelled.

You should deal with this!” “The kids were just kidding. You shouldn’t involve yourself in this,” said Karlo. He knew that Evelyn was right. “There is plenty of food in front of you! Please, eat more and talk less. But his words only provoked Freda. She felt that her status as the hostess was put under threat. “I knew I can’t count on you no matter in the past or now!” Freda was angry but Vivian’s presence hampered her tantrum. Eric smiled, then he grabbed Evelyn’s hands, ready to leave. “Let’s go. There should be peace without us.

As the eldest son, Evan started to scold, “Eric, what’s wrong with you? You are ruining the family dinner. Evelyn talked back, “You are the thief posing as a judge, right?” She’s not as meek as Eric. She would destroy everything and everyone that got in her way. Evan shook his head as if he was very disappointed, “You’ve changed. Your attitude was much better the first day you came to our family. Evelyn nodded, “True. Because I was trying to be nice to you, I refrained from my temper again and again. Unfortunately, nobody appreciated my kindness, and you even made the situation worse. Well, it seems that there’s no need for me to waste my patience on you anymore. “Don’t you know about Eric’s status in this family?
