The voice was sharp and loud, as if it was about to rip their eardrums apart. Yvette, Ronald, and Raine were standing there in the kitchen doorway.
They could see clearly what was happening before their eyes, especially looking at that angle of theirs.
An indescribable shock filled their faces, their expressions changing.
Yvette glared at Summer, not bothering to hide her outrage. 'Shameless bitch!’
Ronald glanced at Mark, then at Raine beside him, and frowned.
Raine's expression was no better. Her face changed from red to pale, her fingernails sinking into the flesh of her palms. Her body was shivering, as if a bucket of ice water had poured down her head, her body and limbs feeling cold.
Mark's reaction was quick. But he did not look back, his deep-set eyes moving in the eye sockets.
Meanwhile, Summer's heart was racing. That voice was all too familiar. Who would it be if not Yvette?
Yvette stepped in and stood in front of Summer, and breathed out her hatred. "You are so disgusting!”
In Yvette's eyes, Summer was a scheming woman.
She looked at Yvette without saying a word.
Yvette became a little out of breath. "I am your mother, who brought you up since you were a child. Yet you are defending her against me now. What am I to you?"
"Had you been calm and not made those nasty remarks, I wouldn’t have to defend her, would I?” "Nasty remarks? Even if what I said is nasty, she deserves it." Yvette blew her top at last. "Mark, have you forgotten how she pushed me down the stairs and Raine off the cliff four years ago? Why are you defending a vicious woman like her? Why are you doing this to me?"
"That's because of your deep prejudice against her. She is not what you think. I know her better than anyone else. You don't have to doubt my ability to read people.”
He squinted. He said softly, but was determined. "Tell me, if you were three-months pregnant, holding on to the edge of a cliff with one hand and grasping Raine’s hand with the other, how long do you think you could hold on? Besides, if she really wanted Raine dead, why did she even bother to grasp Raine with all her strength?"
