Chapter 696 Foul Mouth

Miranda had lost her parking spot, so she had walked over. Upon seeing Priscilla coming toward her with a

flattering demeanor, her face was full of disdain.

Her secretary, understanding the situation, stepped in to intercept Priscilla.

Miranda scoffed, “Do you really think just anyone can be my friend?”

Even if she wasn't the president of the parents’ association, she was still considered the future daughter-in-law

of the Rainsworth family.

At most, Priscilla was merely the wife of a nouveau riche, she couldn’t even be considered part of the elite.

Previously, the only reason she interacted with Priscilla was to use her as a pawn against Cecilia. Now, it was

clear that Priscilla no longer held any value for her schemes.

Priscilla was stunned, frozen on the spot. The surrounding mothers looked at her without a trace of sympathy,

their faces filled with mockery.

Meredith stepped in front of her. “Letgive you a piece of advice. In life, don’t be too slick. If you're too slick,

you'll end up with nothing.”

In this world, it wasn’t wrong for everyone to gravitate toward those with power and influence.

But one couldn’t possibly be a double agent, right?

After advising Priscilla, Meredith turned to Cecilia and Helen, suggesting. “Let's go over and wait for our

children.”

“All right”

The three of them walked away.

Inevitably, Cecilia found herself asking Helen, “What kind of business is your husband in, Helen?”

After hearing this, Helen sighed and said, “The seafood industry. It’s on the brink of collapse. My husband is

preparing to file for bankruptcy next month.”

Cecilia was pondering whether to offer help when Meredith stepped in. “Helen, if you trustcan lend a hand.

Our family are also involved in the seafood business. My dad has quite a few connections. If you ever find

yourself in a bind, don’t hesitate to letknow.”

Meredith wasn’t one to just casually help others. She spoke up because she noticed that Cecilia was intent on

assisting this individual.

“Really? That's fantastic, thank you.”

“No need for formalities, it’s really nothing”

The twere engaged in a lively conversation, laughing and chatting. From Miranda’s perspective, their

apparent joy was particularly jarring.

What irked her even more was that after class, Felix practically ran toward her with tears in his eyes.

“Mom, they bullied me.”

Instantly, Miranda grew worried as she checked him. “How did they bully you, son? Are you hurt anywhere?”

Felix shook his head. “No, they all ignored me. They wouldn't talk toor even eat with me...”

Miranda's heart ached as she heard this.

Turning to the other mothers around her, she raised her voice in challenge. “Is this how you've raised your

children? Are you trying to offend the Rainsworth family?”

The mothers subtly averted their gaze, pretending they hadn't heard her.

Miranda rose to her feet and approached Cecilia. “Did you set this up?”

Cecilia taunted, “What's the matter, can’t handle it when the tables are turned on your own child?”

Miranda raised her hand to slap her.

Meredith stepped forward.

“Miranda, you really have a good temperament.”

In high society, many young ladies of good families knew each other from a young age.

Meredith and Miranda were once classmates, and she had always disliked her actions and behavior.

“Meredith? You think you have the right to lecture me, when you can’t even keep your man in line? Miranda's lips

curled up. “What's the matter, you enjoy raising someone else’s child that much?”

Upon her confrontation, Meredith was left speechless.

In her lifetime, Meredith had always been most vulnerable to criticism about this one issue.

Slap!

A slap landed on Miranda's face

The slap didn’t cfrom Meredith, it was from Cecilia.

A burning sensation flared across Miranda's face She looked at Cecilia in disbelier “How dare

“Why wouldn't I? You deserved it, your mouth is so foul.”

Miranda lunged at Cecilia, ready to retaliate.

Yet, a figure abruptly positioned himself in front of Cecilia, effortlessly pushing Miranda aside. &
