Chapter 574

Mikaela frowned deeply and asked, โ€œWhat do you mean?โ€

I smiled at her and said, โ€œWhat I want cannot be measured by money, and you cannot afford it either!โ€

โ€œMs. Duffy, how could you speak to Mikaela like that? After all, Mikaela is Reynaldoโ€™s mother.โ€

โ€œDonโ€™t think that just because youโ€™ve fooled Reynaldo, you can act like youโ€™re above everyone else.โ€

As soon as Kimberly finished speaking, the elevator door opened.

I ignored them and walked out without looking back.

Kimberly called me from behind, but I ignored her.

Mikaela scolded me for being rude behind my back.

I saw her as Reynaldoโ€™s mother, gritted my teeth, and endured.

Arriving at Reynaldoโ€™s ward, the man was reading a book.

Seeing me come in, his eyes lit up and he smiled at me, saying, โ€œYouโ€™re here.โ€

โ€œHmm.โ€

I responded listlessly and placed the meal on the bedside table, โ€œEat it while itโ€™s hot.โ€

With that, I sat down on a chair beside him.

Reynaldo glanced at me and said, โ€œWhatโ€™s wrong? Who upset you?โ€

I shook my head and remained silent.

At this moment, Kimberly pushed Mikaela in.

Reynaldo glanced at them, then looked at me, suddenly looking as if he understood everything.

He frowned and said to Mikaela and Kimberly, โ€œDid you bully her again?โ€

Mikaela was furious when she heard this, โ€œWhat do you mean โ€˜we bullied her?โ€™ You are really taking her side in everything now. Donโ€™t forget how she treated you in the beginning!โ€

โ€œYes, Reynaldo, Mikaela didnโ€™t bully her at all.โ€

She looked down on Mikaela in the elevator, thinking that what she wanted, Mikaela couldnโ€™t afford.

Reynaldo, no matter what, you canโ€™t just accuse Mikaela without any evidence.

No matter what, Mikaela is also your mother, our elder.โ€

Look at what Kimberly said, seemingly tactful, but actually stirring up the conflict between Reynaldo and Mikaela, and even shifting all the blame to me.

What a cup of green tea.

Sure enough, after Kimberly said that, Mikaela was even more angry, her face turning red, her chest heaving, and her eyes looking at me as cold as a knife.

Reynaldo glanced at Kimberly and said in a low voice, โ€œShe is not arrogant, or maybe you just misunderstood.โ€

โ€œIโ€ฆโ€ Kimberly wanted to say something more.

I stood up and interrupted her, โ€œReynaldo was right, you just misunderstood. When we were in the elevator, I was simply saying that my relationship with Reynaldo is priceless; it cannot be measured in terms of money. Ms. Verstaโ€™s price is naturally something I cannot afford.โ€

How come when it comes out of your mouth, I become invisible in your eyes?

She was Reynaldoโ€™s mother, my mother-in-law. How foolish I was to look down on her.

โ€œIโ€ฆ youโ€ฆโ€

โ€œAlso, I have never said that Ms. Versta bullied me.

It was you, Reynaldo just asked if you guys had bullied me again.

As for you, you completely distanced yourself and only mentioned Ms. Versta.

Did you deliberately want Ms. Versta to have a bad relationship with Reynaldo?โ€

โ€œI, I didnโ€™t!โ€

Kimberly suddenly became anxious, looking at Mikaela with a sense of grievance and helplessness.

Mikaela furrowed her brows and looked at me, her sharp eyes seeming as if they could see right through me.

After a while, she chuckled and said, โ€œI didnโ€™t realize that you were so eloquent.โ€

โ€œYouโ€™re wrong, compared to some people, my mouth is as dumb as can be.โ€

And some people can turn good into bad, reverse black and white, sow discord โ€“ thatโ€™s where they excel.

When I said this, I deliberately glanced at Kimberly.

Kimberly instinctively retorted, โ€œI didnโ€™t, I didnโ€™t distort the truth, nor did I sow discord. Please, Ms. Duffy, donโ€™t slander people here.โ€
