Jade snorted coolly right then. "Could've done that earlier, but you had to drag
your feet. How impudent.”
Beside her, Luna's eyes flashed with obvious glee, as if Helen was kneeling to
her and not to Fleur.
She was clearly upset that Helen was chosen as a candidate for the next head of
the Lane family, but so what if she was? In the end, Helen still had to kneel
before her grandma.
On the other hand, Frank was frowning as he watched Helen kneel.
He was already sick of such ugly tradition, and even Godwin Lawrence—the
most corrupt man Frank ever knew—never maintained such tradition.
In contrast, the fact that some paltry households would maintain it made it clear
they were used to bullying the younger generation.
Still, Frank bore with it, staying silent since being a candidate for the next head of
the Lane family was very important to Helen.
Meanwhile, Fleur remained apathetic as she sat there, watching Helen kneel.
She waited until Helen's fingers started shaking from holding the teacup before
nodding in satisfaction, and slowly took it.
However, she only took a sip when her face fell, and she spat it at Helen's face!
Smashing the teacup into pieces on the floor, she pointed at Helen and snapped,
"You wretch! Are you trying to burn me?!"
"What the hell, Helen?" Luna exclaimed, glaring at Helen while bringing a towel
to wipe Fleurs lips. "Are you trying to hurt Grandma?!"
Helen scowled—Luna and Fleurs reactions were clearly scripted and meant to
frame her!
And the fact that Fleur spat the tea at her meant this was never tradition—it was
a barenaked insult.
In fact, Fleur did not come because she was interested in Helen as a candidate
for the next head of the Lane family. Instead, she was here to assert her authority
over Helen and bully her!
At the same time, Jade was glowering and shouting at Helen, "What's your
problem? You can't even make a cup of tea?!"
"She's just used to keeping company with savages," Luna gloated gleefully. "She
knows nothing of the tradition of the upper class.”
"Oh, it's just a misunderstanding." Gina promptly cleaned up the mess on the
floor, shaking her head. "I had the tea myself. It won't burn!"
Fleur's face fell. "What, are you accusing me of lying? That I'm harassing Helen?"
"No, no, no, of course not." Gina quickly apologized, afraid of arguing at all.
