Chapter 780 “I'm on my period, you can check if you don’t believe me.” She was sure that Jennifer, a woman of high society, wouldn't ask her to strip in public just to prove it.
But Jennifer found her claim amusing. Did those girls think they could pull one over on her? “Want to leave?” Jennifer asked with a playful tone.

“So, how did the cake end up on the floor?” Jennifer's clear, bright eyes scanned them one by one.
None of the girls dared to admit that Cherry had purposefully smeared the cake, instead they lied, claiming that they hadn't noticed.
“Oh, then stay put until you come clean,’ Jennifer said.
“Jennifer.” Cherry started.
Jennifer cut her off coldly, “Stop. | don’t want to hear you speak.” Cherry immediately fell silent.

Upon exiting her car, she hurried into the restaurant. She was slightly panting but upon seeing Jennifer, she put on a friendly smile.
“Jennifer, really sorry to keep you waiting,” Cynthia approached Jennifer, and glanced at Arabella, “This must be your daughter-in-law. She's so beautiful and she seems very well-behaved and smart.” Turning back to her own daughter among the crowd, she called out, “Where's my good-for-nothing daughter? Cherry! Come here and apologize right now!" “Don't scold her,” Jennifer, sitting gracefully with an air of elegance, said with a hint of amusement, “She claimed earlier that she doesn't care about anyone's feelings. She's out to offend my daughter-in-law today.” “This brat, saying such nonsense,” Cynthia laughed in disbelief, swiftly walking over to pull her daughter to Jennifer, “Apologize to Mrs. McMillian, and her daughter-in-law, right now!” “Mom, you haven't even heard the whole story yet, and you want me to apologize to them.” Cherry felt wronged.
“You slandered them and even wanted to hit them, and you think you shouldn't apologize?” Cynthia angrily smacked her arm and said, “Apologize now!” “I'm sorry.” “Did you skip lunch? Speak up!” Cynthia was clearly displeased with her daughter's volume.
“I'm sorry.’ “Who are you speaking to!” Cynthia smacked her arm again, “You need to address them by name!” Cherry was clearly embarrassed, “Mom! My classmates are watching.” “You weren't afraid of being seen when you made a fool of yourself just now. What are you afraid of now? Apologize properly!” Cherry was infuriated but knew her mother's temperament and how important the McMillian family was to them. Cynthia was a fair person. If Jennifer so much as gave a hint, Cynthia would surely make Cherry's life miserable.
With that in mind, she swallowed her pride and apologized, saying, “I'm sorry, Jennifer. I'm sorry, Arabella.” “And what are you apologizing for?” Jennifer lifted her gaze, looking at her coldly, “Are you apologizing for calling my daughter-in-law names, or for slandering her, or maybe, for trying to hit her?” Cynthia nearly fainted when she heard that. Her daughter had actually called Jennifer's daughter-in-law names! “Mrs. McMillian is asking you something, answer her! You dare to curse the girl, you're so stupid! Don't you realize that it's thanks to the McMillian family that the Evert family is what it is today!"
