Showing respect for elders was an important tradition. Lilah chose to comply for Absolon's sake.
She spun around.
Danna mocked, "I didn't think you were so adept. Feigning ignorance, were you? Did you enjoy that? Karol is your younger sister. Why didn't you feel sorry for her? Why did you choose to humiliate her publicly?"
Choose to humiliate her?
Lilah sneered inwardly. Karol wasn't as capable as she thought herself to be. She even tried to drug her.
“Am I your granddaughter, Mrs. Morris?" Lilah asked, her smile unfaltering.
Danna was taken aback, momentarily at a loss for words.
"You are despicable and lowly. How dare you claim to be my granddaughter! You think you're worthy?" Danna mocked after a brief pause.
Lilah feigned shock. “Really? Then why did you call her my younger sister? I should have no connection with Miss Morris. Moreover, you can watch the video recording to see what really happened there. Why do you always believe her absurd lies and doubt me without seeking the truth?"
She folded her arms and regarded the irrational elderly woman with a slight smile, a trace of iciness in her gaze.
Clearly, Danna was not expecting a rebuttal. She stood up abruptly and pointed at Lilah's nose.
"Bitch! I should never have agreed to let your father bring you home. Look at you! You show no respect for your elders. How absurd! How conceited!"
Lilah felt like responding but lacked the energy. She raised her hands in surrender. “Whatever you say. As long as it pleases you."
The next moment, Karol burst out, “Lilah, you're jealous of me. You envy that I've been with the Morris family for many years. You just came back a few weeks ago and seized the opportunity to take revenge on me."
"Do you hear yourself?" Lilah was torn between laughter and tears.
How could someone twist the truth so easily?
"I'm speaking the truth. You plotted against me. You shamed me in front of everyone." Karol was beside herself with rage.
“Someone slipped a drug into my water, aiming to catch me with illegal substances. Was it you?" Lilah asked, her tone neutral.
She had intended to overlook Karol's antics and not retaliate. But given Karol's brazen behavior, Lilah was willing to stir up some excitement in her dull Life.
Karol looked shocked, staring at her in disbelief. She snapped back sharply, "Stop lying! Drugs? How dare you accuse me!"
Lilah gazed at her calmly while taking out a USB drive. "Here's the security footage from the backstage monitoring room. Would you like to see it now, or should we wait for Dad to get home?"
Karol's mouth fell open.
How did Lilah find that?
Karol couldn't accept it.
