She looked just as if she had suffered some kind of injustice.
Warren was aware that Yvonne had been stripped of her authority to manage the household.
When he heard what she said, he subconsciously assumed that it was Maureen who was fighting
with her over a dress.
Taken aback, he turned to Maureen and asked, “What dress is she talking about, dear?”
He grabbed Maureen and led her to the side.
“I get it now.It’s time to custom-make clothes today again, right? Did you get angry again?”
During the past few years, the aggressive Maureen would always get angry once a year.
After Warren found out about it, he would always go out of his way to make her happy during those
few days.
He either took her out shopping or took her overseas for a vacation.
He subconsciously tried to persuade her and said, “Didn’t we already agree on this? It’ll be fine
once she marries into another family.You’ll have the biggest say in the family after that! And you can
choose all the clothes you want after that! Her marriage with the Hunts has already gone up in
smoke now, so her future husband’s family definitely won’t be as good as the Smiths.What’s the
point in fighting with her over a dress…”
“What’s the point in fighting with her over a dress”…
That one line of his instantly made Maureen feel even more aggrieved.

Even though someone had bullied her at home, she still I thought of being considerate toward her
husband and son, but what about her husband? All he did was take his sister’s side in everything!
Maureen stared at Warren.
She was really hurt this time.
She said, “Do you think I would get angry just because of a dress?”
Warren scratched his head.
As aman with low EQ, he really was rather dense when it came to how girls thought.
Next to them, Yvonne said, “Don’t lose your temper at Warren, Maureen.I already said that I would
let you have that dress…It was my fault.I should have noticed that you liked that dress and not
taken it for myself…”
Her hypocritical words put Maureen at such a loss for words that she couldn’t say anything at all.
Yet, Warren actually believed her.
He walked over to Yvonne and said, “Since you are so generous, then I won’t stand on ceremony,
Yvonne.Haha, how about this? I’ll take you out tomorrow for some clothes shopping, okay?”
Yvonne smiled and replied, “You’re standing too much on ceremony if you say that, Warren.We’re
family I should give in to Maureen once in a while”
“…You’re the most sensible one, after all.Don’t hold it against Maureen!”
Nora stared at Yvonne.
Her two-faced behavior in front of the men of the Smiths wasn’t anything surprising to her anymore.
She merely thought that Yvonne looked very laughable at the moment.
Maureen, however, was furious.
It was clearly Yvonne who had snatched her dress, yet she looked like the insensible one now! With
her eyes red, she shouted furiously, “Warren! Smith!”
Warren immediately looked back at her timidly.
“Dear…What’s the matter? The dress is already yours now.Why…are you still unhappy?”
Maureen was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. She stared at Yvonne and sneered,
“You really have a way with schemes, don’t you?”
Yvonne lowered her head.
“Are you still upset, Maureen? In that case, will it do if I give you all the clothes I picked?”
The EQ-less Warren immediately nodded.
“Yeah, it will! Dear, look at how Yvonne has already given in.As they say , harmony in the family
brings prosperity.Let’s let this matter go…”
Maureen:”!!”
She was so angry that she simply couldn’t say anything.
Her finger trembled as she stared and pointed at Yvonne.
Then, she pointed at Warren.
“You’d rather believe her over me?”

Warren scratched his head.
“No, it’s not about who I believe or whatnot.Weren’t we talking about clothes, dear ? How did it turn
into about who I believe? You’ve totally confused me!”
Yvonne also sighed.
“We’re family, Maureen.If you’re still dissatisfied, then will it do if I apologize to you?”
Maureen retorted, “I’m not worthy of your apology! After all , this is your home, and you’re the eldest
daughter of the Smiths.Didn’t you say just now that Warren and I are just outsiders?”
Warren looked at Yvonne in disbelief at once.
Yvonne panicked.
“What are you saying, Maureen? Isn’t it just a piece of clothing? How did it escalate to this?”
She looked at Warren and hastily explained, “I think Maureen is being too sensitive and is thinking
too much.
Warren, I’ve always seen and treated you like my brother all these years’ Dad has also said that I’m
theonly daughter at home, so all of you are my family!”
Warren frowned.
He looked at Yvonne, and then at Maureen.
Maureen wasn’t someone who made groundless accusations.
Since she had said so, then there was no doubt that Yvonne had said that.
