Elaine, who had been beaten up severely, was also very hungry at this point.
She did not even manage to eat a single bite of the food that Charlie prepared for lunch at noon. After that, she was immediately arrested by the police. 1
After all the commotion in the afternoon, coupled up with all the shock and beating, she could not help but feel extremely hungry after all the physical exertion. 1
Therefore, she cautiously crawled over to the bag of food before she took a lunch box from the plastic basket. She was about to hide in a corner to eat by herself but at this time, Jennifer suddenly shouted, " Elaine, what do you think you are doing?" 1
Elaine hurriedly replied, "Big...big sister, I am going to eat..." 1
"Eat?" Jennifer shouted, "You are a bastard who is not even filial to your own mother-in-law and you still have the audacity to eat?" 4
"I...L." Elaine suddenly choked up but she did not know how to answer Jennifer's question. 1
Jennifer was very dissatisfied and she continued reprimanding her, "You what? Come over here!" 1
Elaine could only nod slightly as she bowed down and walked over to her. After that, she said carefully, "Big
sister, what can I do for you?” 4
Jennifer snatched the lunch box from Elaine’s hand before she said coldly, "You are not worthy enough to eat! Go away!" 2
As soon as Elaine heard her words, she cried out loud a s she said, "Big sister, I only ate some food early in the morning today. I am so hungry that I feel as though I a m going to faint soon. Please have some pity on me and let me eat a little..." 1
"Eat?" Jennifer smiled before she said, "You are someone who is living in a villa at Thompson First. Don't you think that this kind of food is too pathetic and miserable for someone like you?" 1
Claire and Loreen came home together at the same time. As soon as they came home, Loreen rushed into the kitchen as she said, "Oh, since I am causing all of you so much trouble because I am living in your house, let me help you with more housework!” 6
After she was done speaking, she stepped into the kitchen and asked Charlie shyly, "Is there anything that I can help you with?” 5
Charlie replied, "I don’t need your help. Why don't you go out and watch television with Claire instead?"
"But I don’t want to watch television!” Loreen replied shyly, "I just want to help you. I don’t mind helping you with any mediocre chore!" 5
Charlie knew what Loreen was up to and he hurriedly replied, "That is really not necessary at all. I am already used to preparing dinner on my own. You can just wait outside for dinner to be served." 1
As the both of them were talking, Claire stepped into the kitchen and asked, "Charlie, have you seen my mother?"
