She took Arabella’s hand, offering support against the prying eyes of the surrounding crowd, her icy gaze fixed on the few trouble-makers.
"Mrs. McMillian? What brings you down here.” The restaurant manager looked at her, his voice a mixture of surprise and respect. He just heard that this young woman was the daughter-in-law whom Mrs. McMillian had been expecting.

"Mrs. McMillian, you misunderstand. | was trying to keep the peace; these young ladies were the ones stirring the pot.” Mr. Earl protested, his eyes holding a hint of frustration as he looked at the young women.
He had seen his fair share of troublemakers, but that was a whole new level! Cherry and her friends were in shock. Who could intimidate Mr.
Earl like that? Could it be Mrs. McMillian, the matriarch of the McMillian Corporation? Was she Romeo's mother? Could it be Jennifer? The more Cherry looked, the more she was convinced that this stunning woman was indeed Jennifer. Her features were even more refined, and her demeanor was even more aristocratic than before.
She was always a beauty, her skin fair and soft, her presence a perfect blend of elegance and grace, yet still commanding respect and authority.
But wait, had Jennifer just referred to Arabella as her daughter-in-law! Impossible!! "Auntie, she's not Serena." Cherry gently corrected her, "Her name is Arabella, she's the newly recognized daughter of the Collins family." "I can see just fine, dear. No need for the reminder; Jennifer retorted, then turned to the restaurant manager, "| had planned to enjoy afternoon tea with my daughter-in-law. But since someone insists on causing trouble, | suggest you clear the room.” "Of course.” The manager knew that the young women were in deep trouble and quickly ordered the staff to clear the room.
Cherry's friends, sensing the danger, started to panic.
"Cherry, | just remembered something urgent at home, | should leave.” "Me too, | think my period just started." "We'll reschedule.” As they attempted to flee from that place, they were stopped in their tracks by the waitstaff.
Frightened, they quickly hid behind Cherry, their cowardly behavior making Cherry cringe.

Please, have a seat.’ Jennifer sat down gracefully and dialed a number on her phone, "Cynthia, I'm at Oceanview Restaurant. | need you to come down here." At the mention of the name ‘Cynthia’, Cherry's face turned pale.
That was her mother's name! How did Mrs. McMillian get her mother's contact? Oh, she remembered. Many years ago, when the Evert family was facing a financial crisis, it was the McMillian Corporation that extended a helping hand.
At that time, the McMillian Corporation was also working on several projects with the Evert family.
"This isn't a social call. Your daughter has been harassing my daughter-in-law, slandering her, and even threatening violence.
You need to come down here and discipline her." Cherry's heart sank. She was doomed.
Her friends, witnessing that, were terrified and started making excuses.
"Mrs. McMillian, | didn't participate in this act." "I really do have an emergency at home. Can | please be excused?"
