Vera pushed away the phone that Sally handed to her. “I don’t want to look at it!”

She looked at Nathan emotionally, tears already rolling down her face. “Tell me, Nate! Tell me I wasn’t mistaken!”

Nathan walked over to Vera before sinking down on one knee. He held her slightly trembling hand.

In a gentle voice, he comforted her, “Grandma, don’t be so sad. If you think Suzanne is Chubs, then she’s Chubs. You can do whatever you want.”

Sally shot up to her feet at that moment. She exclaimed angrily, “Nate, I’m the real Chubs! You can’t just twist the truth to appease Grandma! How long do you plan on letting her live in her delusion?”

“Shut up!” Nathan shouted, his expression icy.

The sight of Nathan looking so furious and intimidating shocked Sally to the core. She could only pout while feeling upset, and tears started to pool up in her eyes.

Vera gazed at Suzanne sadly. Affection and regret flashed across her eyes as she said, “That’s right. I think she’s Chubs. I know she’s Chubs.”

Sally was so furious that she kept stomping her feet. “Grandma, I’m Chubs!” she asserted. “Nate has been in love with me all this time! He doesn’t love Suzanne at all!”

“You’re going to cause Nate more suffering at this rate! He and Suzanne will get divorced sooner or later! Why must you be stubborn and unreasonable?”

Sally couldn’t care less about Vera’s emotions. This time, she chose to verbally attack Vera.

White-hot anger flooded Nathan’s senses. His expression crumbled as he shot an icy glare at Sally.

How did she turn out to be so vile as an adult? Was the educational system of the foreign country she had stayed in to be blamed for her transformation?

Vera’s cheeks flushed with anger the moment she heard Sally’s uncouth words. She trembled violently while pointing at her.

“Who… Who are you calling stubborn and unreasonable?” she asked furiously.

Vera had been nothing but kind and compassionate toward everyone throughout her life. She was also a gracious and elegant woman, to begin with.

To think that a snot-nosed, ignorant brat dared to call her stubborn and unreasonable!

She rose to her feet immediately, her flames of anger threatening to consume her rationality. Tears blurred her vision as she glared at Sally, her body still trembling all over.

“Get out!” Vera shrieked in a shrill voice. “Get out right now!”

Panic washed over Suzanne as she steadied Vera on her feet. After that, she patted Vera’s chest in order to help her regulate her breathing.

Suzanne’s gentle voice rang out comfortingly. “Grandma, calm down. You’re suffering from high blood pressure, so you can’t be too emotional.”

Then, she said to Nathan, “Hurry up and take Sally away.”

Cold fury was evident in Nathan’s expression. He grabbed Sally and started dragging her out of the courtyard.

Sally struggled against his grip while wailing, “I’m not leaving, Nate! Suzanne should be the one leaving this place! She has no right to steal you and Grandma away from me! Heck, she has no right to steal your love that’s meant for me!

“You should know that Suzanne is the type who lusts after every man in the world! She took up sex work just to earn money for her plastic surgery! She even married an old geezer in the past, you know!

“Grandma only likes her because she got work done on her face just so she could resemble my younger self! That’s how she rose through the social ranks! I will never accept this!”

Hearing Sally’s accusations against her made Suzanne feel as though she was getting tormented. In a way, Sally was rubbing salt on Suzanne’s wound. Even though Suzanne possessed no memories of those events, she still felt extremely uncomfortable.

At the same time, Vera grew more agitated when she heard Sally’s words.

Nathan had already dragged Sally out of the courtyard by then. He had a feeling that he’d definitely beat Sally up if she were a guy.

Suddenly, Suzanne’s panicked voice drifted into his ears. “Nathan, come here quick! Grandma just fainted!”

Nathan’s heart tightened at her words. He instantly released Sally, who was still struggling violently, and rushed back to the gazebo.

Sally could only stay rooted to the spot dumbly. She watched as Nathan scooped the unconscious Vera into his arms and bolted past her. Suzanne was also running behind him, looking quite anxious.
