Just as the thought crossed her mind and Grandma Morris was about to start complaining, Mrs. Brown spoke again, her tone icy:
"Is there something wrong with your hearing, Mrs. Morris? Did you not catch what I just asked?"
Grandma Morris froze, caught off guard by Mrs. Brown's directness. That wasn't what she expected… unless—
She suddenly realized: the Brown Family must be angry at Selina's behavior and now holding the Morris Family responsible.
All that bad luck—it's all Selina's fault!
Push all the blame on her and be done with it.
Grandma Morris quickly tried to shift gears.
"Apologies for the disturbance, Mrs. Brown. I was just about to remove this ungrateful granddaughter from the premises."
Mrs. Brown nodded slowly, then looked directly at Selina. Her anger flared up.
The Brown Family had treated Selina like their own daughter—and yet the Morris Family constantly humiliated her.
