Chapter 1446


    Chapter 1446 Do You Have To Stoop So Low


    Sasha’s eyes were reddened.


    However, this woman was caught napping and immediately put down the bowl in her hands hastily


    after seeing Sasha.


    “It’s not what you think, Nancy. I have eaten but was still hungry. Well, you know, pregnant women have


    arger appetite.”


    Without saying a word, Sasha grazed her fingers against the side of the bowl, eyeing the dirty dishes


    piled up in the kitchen sink, and rushed out to the living room where L and her husband, Philip and


    his wife were ying poker.


    Meanwhile, their teenage kids sted the TV volume and were ying video games.


    Are you kidding?


    It’s New Year’s Day. They’re perfectly capable of doing these simple chores, yet they left it to a


    pregnantdy?


    Sasha snarled, “What are you doing? Don’t you feel ashamed eating food prepared by a heavily


    pregnant woman?”


    “Huh?”


    Four of them turned in unison to look nkly at her.


    “Sasha? Why are you here so early?” Surprise shed across L’s face as soon as she realized it


    was Sasha.


    Am I early?


    Did they actually make a guess as to when I will arrive?


    Sasha was livid and questioned in anger, “I asked what are you guys doing? Didn’t you know there’s a


    pregnant woman who needs help in the kitchen?”


    “Ah, that.” L nced in the direction of the kitchen.


    “She volunteered to do it. It’s her first time visiting the Emmanuels, and she probably wanted to make a


    good impression. Last night she called dibs on making breakfast today, so we let her be.”


    This woman is replying to me casually as if she is in the right.


    Good impression?

    Is she looking down her nose at Willow to say that about her?


    If it was another typical family weing their daughter-inw, they would be doting on her, instead of


    letting her work her fingers down to the bone in the kitchen, no matter what she said.


    And this insolent woman has the nerve to be so disrespectful?


    Sasha’s fury rose to explosive rage, and she sneered, “Oh, really? Now that I’m here, you should leave


    a good first impression on me, too. Maybe you’d be gifted a home if I was satisfied.”


    “What did you say to me?” L nted her a dirty look.


    Her husband was a little unhappy and stood up. “Sasha, wasn’t that a little too harsh? We’re still your


    family. Your words were rather offensive.”


    “Offensive?” Sasha repeated in a near shriek.


    “You understand the meaning of the word ‘offensive,’ then? Think of your wife’s words. All of you


    agreed that Willow was only putting on a show to make a first impression, and I said I’d gift you a


    house if you managed to do it too. Tell me, how is that insulting?”


    “You-”


    “All right, all right. Everyone, take a breath and stop arguing. Walk it off, Sasha. We’ll all help Willow.” In


    the end, Philippromised and took his wife’s hand, leading her into the kitchen.


    Though her brother hadpromised, L stood her ground and flung the cards in her hand on the


    table. “Whatever. I’m not going. I’ve never served anyone in my life.”


    Just as Sasha was about to erupt in fury again, Sebastian stepped through the door after parking his


    car.


    He caught thest sentence as he entered, and his expression turned cold. In that instant, the


    temperature in the living room seemed to drop by a few degrees.


    “S-Sebastian, you’re here,” Phillip stuttered in greeting. Coincidentally, he exited the kitchen and caught


    sight of Sebastian.


    Sebastian just ignored him.


    Instead, he came to a halt in the middle of the living room and quickly assessed the tense situation,


    taking in his wife who was flushed with anger, and asked, “What’s going on?”


    “Nothing. No one offered us a ss of water at our arrival, so I asked Ms. Emmanuel here to do it. It


    seems like she isn’t too inclined.”


    “That’s not what happened!” L immediately jumped to her feet as Sebastian’s appearance had sent


    her into a near panic.


    “No, it’s not what happened, Sebastian. You are both our guests, so how would I ever give you the cold


    shoulder. I…” she exined frantically.


    Before she could finish, Sebastian had brought his palm on the table, splintering the wood down the


    whole length of it.


    Following the loud m, the pile of cards scattered across the ground in a flurry. The air between them


    charged and grew thick with palpable tension.


    It was too terrifying, and the Emmanuels were stunned into silence.


    A visible tremor ran through L’s body. She immediately wrapped her hands around her head


    protectively as she took a few involuntary steps backward at the loud outburst.


    “No? The evidence is littered at our feet now, and you’re still denying it? Who would have the gall to sit


    down and have a card game while their guests have arrived on New Year’s Day? Brandon, the


    Emmanuel family is screwed!”


    Sebastian lifted his head slowly, his piercing gaze boring through his target at thending of the


    staircase.


    It was Brandon.


    He had heard themotion and was making his way down.
