Embarrass Evelyn
Alana scrutinized Evelyn up and down, showing no intention of getting to know her.
Just lightly, I said to Susie, "Susie, don't talk nonsense. Children shouldn't speak about adult matters."
Children are so young, yet they talk about things like "mistresses" and pollute their minds.
Susie nodded obediently, "I understand, Grandma."
Evelyn only heard that one sentence from her grandmother.
Indeed, it was Martin's mother, Alana from the Murray family.
Her behavior was even more elegant and graceful. She smiled gently and said, "It's okay, children just like to play and make a fuss. I didn't mind..."
Alana sneered, "But I took it to heart. Our family's Achen is getting married soon, so it's best for you not to think too much."
Evelyn was surprised, "Is this getting married already?"
Immediately realizing that he had misspoken again, he quickly said, "I didn't mean that, what I meant was I was just so surprised. So, congratulations to Alana first."
She approached and affectionately linked her arm with Alana's, asking her to sit down as she spoke.
"Come, please have a seat over here!"
"Is your daughter-in-law Ms. Hewitt? I saw her last time, and she was really beautiful. She had fair skin and was also very cute with a petite figure. I thought Mr. Murray just had a temporary liking for her, but I didn't expect they were getting married..."
She praised him for his appearance, but stopped short of saying that he had no substance, thinking that Martin was just speaking in the heat of the moment.
Alana was speechless. How "elegant and refined" is this?
She didn't understand what others said, or pretended not to understand.
Alana pulled her arm away and coldly said, "Is this how you were raised? Talking to people and getting physical."
"Moreover, my daughter-in-law is not only good-looking, but she also has many inner qualities. Don't try to impress me with your intelligence."
"Moreover, are you a member of the Lao family? I almost thought you were the mistress of this house..."
Alana looked at Zachariah and smiled slightly, "I remember Zachariah didn't have a daughter."
Evelyn was dumbfounded by Alana's outburst and she didn't say anything either!
She quickly explained, "You misunderstood, I was the teacher's student, and I often interacted with the teacher, just like a family..."
But Zachariah waved his hand and said to Alana, "No, this is just one of my former students."
Evelyn: "..."
She had just said that she was his student in order to establish a closer relationship.
I didn't expect to be slapped in the face by the teacher the next second.
Not only that, Zachariah also said, "Adrian, escort her out."
Adrian made a gesture of invitation and said, "Ms. Asher, please go back first. My father has guests today, so it's not convenient to entertain you."
Evelyn's face stiffened as she repeatedly hit a wall, and she was immediately chased away upon seeing Alana.
How could she be willing?
What can you do if you can't walk?
If she continues to insist stubbornly, Alana would think that she is the kind of shameless person.
"Alana, please don't misunderstand... Oh well, let it go. The truth will reveal itself, and I believe one day you will understand."
After repeatedly witnessing Evelyn's pretentious behavior, Alana couldn't help herself.
Even at Zachariah's house, Evelyn was Zachariah's student, and Alana was not polite at all.
"This approach of yours doesn't work on me. What do you mean by 'the pure will prove their purity'? Why do you make yourself look so aggrieved and innocent? Those who are truly pure should have the ability to prove their own innocence. If someone cannot even prove their own purity, they are either incapable or inherently impure. Which one are you?"
Alana crossed her arms, her face looking cold.
"What about your upbringing? After learning from Zachariah for so many years, is this all you've learned, these trivial things of the common people?"
"Are you trying to fool me, or has the author forcefully lowered your intelligence? What are you pretending to be a gentle and delicate lady in front of me?"
Even Susie was stunned this time.
Ryan also had the same stunned expression.
The uncle and nephew trembled and huddled together, as Craig, who had just come from the garden and was about to enter the house, smoothly turned around and went back out.
Even Zachariah pretended to sweep the table and wipe the teacups, while Adrian quickly pretended to fetch water...
It feels like when your mom was at home tutoring your younger brother's homework, suddenly she got furious. In order to avoid getting caught in the crossfire, the family quickly started sweeping the floor, wiping the table, refrained from playing with their phones, and promptly turned off the television...
Susie believed that if the authors of the novels on her mother's bookshelf saw her grandmother like this, their keyboards would probably tremble three times.
Evelyn's face turned red, and she tried several times to argue, but she couldn't say a word.
Susie couldn't help but sympathize, "Evelyn, you should leave quickly!"
Evelyn stood up in a panic and said, "Okay, okay, I'll leave right away..."
However, as I took two steps forward, I suddenly remembered something. "Oh, teacher, I came here to tell you something. We have a very famous traditional medicine doctor in our country. He has extensive experience in treating difficult and complicated diseases."
"I asked a few people to contact you, and just now I managed to get in touch. When will you be available in the next few days? I'll accompany you to have a look..."
Evelyn knew how dedicated her teacher was to treatment and had been actively seeking treatment opportunities for the past three years.
Upon hearing the words, he should have immediately felt a flutter in his heart.
Who knew that Zachariah remained unmoved, expressionless, and quickly distanced himself, saying, "Thank you, but I don't need it."
Alana sat on the couch, crossing her legs and hugging her arms, looking at Evelyn with a cold expression on her face.
Evelyn dared not complain anymore and quickly said, "I'll come visit you next time, teacher," in an attempt to salvage her reputation. She immediately ran away.
After leaving the house, Evelyn felt more and more frustrated, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt like vomiting blood.
She felt that she had come on this trip specifically to lose face, as there was not a single good moment from the moment she entered the door.
Slap in the face, Alana was even more unreserved towards her.
The imagined Alana was dissatisfied with Jinny as her daughter-in-law, but the reality was not like that.
She wanted to save the situation by gaining Alana's favor and then having Alana matchmake herself and Martin... but it was destined to be a pipe dream.
"Ah!"
Evelyn angrily kicked the curb by the roadside.
As a result, the high heels tilted and she fell to the ground like a dog eating shit, becoming even more angry and embarrassed.
