Jean's face changed immediately as she saw that Moore was approaching Edna. A worried look replaced the pale complexion she usually carried.
'Dammit, Moore. How can you be so stupid? How can you be such a dumb-o! Can't you notice that Edna holds a lot of grudges against Jade? If she finds out, we're in for a hell of a lot of trouble.
Why do you get yourself into this argument and let Edna bay for your blood?
And Moore, the way I see it, I don't think Edna is going to let you go so easily this time!" Jean thought secretly.
Edna, on the other hand, was surprised to see Moore getting closer to her step-by-step. The angered look she was flaunting just now dissolved immediately into a professional smile on her face.
"Are you here looking for me? Let's get it over with quickly! Did you figure out what happened yesterday, Edna?" Moore asked Edna with a poker face. He wasn't wasting any of his time in exchanging pleasantries with this woman.
"Sure, I did," Edna responded a while later. She was dazed for a second as Moore's words registered on her mind. She had never expected that the first thing Moore would mention would be the car accident from yesterday.
Instead of giving him an answer, Edna turned to look at Jade. She saw that Jade was standing nearby with an angry look on her face, which made her realize that Moore was actually trying to help Jade instead of helping her.
At the other side, Zed and Jean had also never imagined that Moore would go directly speak to Edna about that car accident. Their faces changed instantly after hearing his words.
They hadn't told Jade about the car accident yet!
'If my mother finds out what happened yesterday, this whole event is going to get a lot worse, ' Zed thought secretly.
"Hanley says he didn't do it. It's not him. Hanley and I went to the police station yesterday. Whatever happened, it wasn't Hanley's trick. And he has no reason to lie, neither do I," Edna continued and looked at Moore with that smile again.
"Really?" Moore dejected instantly as a sneer passed across his face. "Is that your explanation, Edna? Is that the best you can give? Oh wait, of course! That's how you do things!"
"Do we have any misunderstandings, Mr. Moore? Or are you prejudiced against my little boy Hanley? If you don't trust me, you can go to the police station to check for more details. Hanley doesn't know those people at all. How could it be him? Mr. Moore, you shouldn't wrongfully accuse an innocent person. He didn't rig the car accident you were in."
Though Edna was still wearing a smile, her words didn't reflect that any more.
"What car accident?" Jade didn't understand what the two of them were talking about. She realized that there was something really important which she had missed. She interjected with her question.
Zed and Jean's face changed again.
Inevitably, Jade had gotten suspicious from their sentences and was now, intending to find out the truth. That was why she had asked.
"Don't you kn
“Do you still want to run away after what happened last night?”
Their relationship changes overnight. She tries to keep her distance from him, while he comes closer and closer.
Spoiling her, he gives her everything she desires. His only wish is to keep her around. The whole world is envious of what she has.
“Never rush in a relationship,” she says calmly.
lame for the death of your baby, but not completely! It wasn't all my fault, you know? You're the one to be blamed too. The way I see it, it was a punishment from God for what you have done! For God, you didn't deserve a baby at that time. That's why you lost it!"
"Shut the hell up!" Jade's face was getting paler and paler while she heard what Edna was saying and finally, she couldn't hold it anymore.
"You know what? I can't believe it! I can't believe that even after all this time, you still don't want to admit that you did something wrong, do you? Well, let me tell you and give you a newsflash! It was all your fault! It was you who took advantage of my innocence and my kindness to create an opportunity for you and Sean. It was you who lied to me and forced me to help you get Sean's love."
Now Edna had completely lost it and was roaring at Jade.
"What does she mean, Jade?" Sean heard his name but he didn't know what was going on. He had been following the altercation closely but hadn't figured out the entire story.
"Nothing..." Jade stammered. There was a panicked look on her face and she wasn't looking at Sean while replying. Her eyes were focused on the ground.
From her behaviour, Sean clearly understood that Jade was trying to conceal something. Even Jean and Zed felt that something was going to happen soon from the turn events were taking.
'It seems like Edna has come to my house just to create a scene!' Zed concluded inwardly.
"HEY! EDNA! I don't care what happened in the past! For me, my mother is my father's legal wife now and you're married to Mr. Gary Bai. You're his wife and that is the only reason I am being considerate and polite towards you right now, you hear me? But if you still want to challenge me, then make sure you are prepared because I am not going to take it easy on you then. I will make sure you find out exactly what I am capable of!"
Zed had suddenly stepped forward and intervened. There was fury in his eyes that made her blink.
