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-


    Are the McMillians just easy targets? Even a kid can mess with us?"


    Cynthia hadn''t expected the club incident toe up and then gave her daughter a harsh p 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 Arabe, 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’


    Arabe''s voice was cold and clear, without any hint of taking advantage of the McMillian''s influence.


    Cynthia noticed that Arabe''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 p 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, Arabe. We did see Cherry knock the cupcake over but didn''t stand up


    for Arabe, 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, Arabe 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


    Arabe in the restaurant would be charged to the Everts.


    After that, she dragged Cherry home for a stern lecture.
