Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

195 This woman is what's going on! Meanwhile...

Since it was the start of the exam week for every student, Allison suggested she and Jessa make something for the children. Fortunately, Jessa didn't make a fuss about it. Hence, the two of them were currently in the mall. "Mrs. Cortez, I'll just..." Allison trailed off as she turned in the direction where Jessa was, only to see the latter happily go to a boutique.

Looking at the nof the women's boutique, a shallow breath slipped past Allison. "Well, we are already done with the groceries, anyway!" She shrugged, knowing she could always contact Jessa if they lost each other.

With that thought in mind, Allison went to the other boutique to shop for sthings for the children. Allison intuitively checked the girl's section, smiling as she saw scute accessories Penny might like. Her daughter liked light colors. Hence, Allison happily reached out for a ribbon. But just as she was able to take it, a hand suddenly picked up the ribbon in a hurry.

"This is nice!" the other woman happily commented, making Allison look in her direction.

Allison's smile faded a bit. "Patricia's Mom." "Nina's mom." Mrs. Miller smiled sarcastically. "What a coincidence! After what happened with the children and how your husband has been suppressing our exports, what a coincidence, indeed!" "Mrs. Miller, it's nice to see you too, Allison maintained a graceful smile before she tried to turn around to leave. Mrs. Miller scoffed. "Nina's Mom... or should I call you her fake mom?" Allison's steps halted as she slowly faced the woman again. "Excuse me?" "I heard that you had your babics swapped. Mrs. Miller smirked as she folded her arms. "What a sad story. It must be very hard for you, Mrs. Bennet. Taking care and pampering a child that isn't even your blood and flesh. No wonder no matter how you tried to raise her nicely, she's a rogue." "Mrs. Miller, I know our families hadn't been on good terms with everything that is happening between my husband and your husband. However, please, leave out our family matters," Allison warned with calculated firmness and calmness. No matter how angering Mrs. Miller's remarks were, they were in public. "Moreover, we might not be perfect parents, but we are trying the best we could." Mrs. Miller's smirk stretched. "I see. So your best is making Nina a violent kid? You did a good job on that!" "Mrs. Miller, what are you talking about now?" 13:09 195. This woman is what's going on! my "Huh? You don't know?" Mrs. Miller did a fake gasp. "You didn't know that Nina hurt kid?" "What?" Looking at the surprise in Allison's eyes, Mrs. Miller laughed in mockery. "Mrs. Bennet, I know our family problems are our own to deal with. However, it seems you and your husband cannot control your children. Especially that fake daughter of yours. Did you know that not long ago, she hurt my daughter to the point I had to call our family doctor just to make sure she's safe?" "Nina will not hurt anyone- "Are you still going to say that after what she did to your own daughter?" Mrs. Miller scoffed in disbelief. "Mrs. Bennet, you makespeechless. Poor child. Your own daughter must be struggling so much to fight for her own family's affection because it seemed you love your fake daughter even more than the real one." Allison clasped her hands into a tight fist, keeping her anger level from rising. It wasn't like she forgot what Nina did. Until now, Allison was deeply disappointed Nina was capable of doing such a horrible thing. The only reason she uttered those words was out of instinct and habit.

"What a disappointment, indeed," Mrs. Miller clicked her tongue continuously while shaking her head. "Even after everything... no wonder. You raised a scary child, Mrs. Bennet. I can't believe my Patricia has to be friends with such an ill-mannered child.

Allison swallowed down the rising tension in her heart. 'Mrs. Miller, I'm not going to criticize your daughter, for I am not someone who talks about a child. Whatever Nina did is something she is already paying for. She's not perfect, but I'm not staying here just to listen to how you criticize my child." Having said that, Allison turned around to leave. But just as she did, Mrs. Miller grabbed her arm and turned her around.

"Allison Bennet, I'm not done with you yet," Mrs. Miller hissed. "Your daughter hurt mine and your husband hurts my family. Do you think I'll just let you off?" Allison flung her arm away. Much to her dismay, Mrs. Miller stubbornly clung to her. "Mrs. Miller, letgo right now." "Hah! What a pathetic woman!" Mrs. Miller scoffed. "You said Nina is already paying for what she had done? Mrs. Bennet, it seemed you do not understand just how grave what your daughter did to mine. Not only did Nina frmy daughter for a terrible crand make Patricia lose her spot in the top section, she also hurt her and scratched her face!" This time, Mrs. Miller's voice rose and released Allison, earning everyone's attention in the boutique.

"Ma'am, is there something wrong?" the staff in the shop quickly approached the woman. "What's going on?" "What's going on?" Mrs. Miller repeated and scowled at Allison. "This woman is what's going on!" "Ma'am?" The staff furrowed her brows, casting Allison a look.

"That's right. She's going to leave and run away. Allison Bennet, are you that ashamed that others. might know your how terrible you raised your faken daughter?" Mrs Miller raised her voice even more. "Apparently, this woman raised a kid that isn't her own while her own daughter was raised by a poor family! It's a touching story, but it's actually not. Because this woman chose to keep the fake daughter, the fake daughter tried to harm the real one!" "Mrs. Miller!"

"Hah! Not only that, but this fake daughter tried to pin my own daughter for a crshe did! And as if she wasn't satisfied Vet, Win she even beat my daughter just because she stood her ground!" Mrs. Miller was already panting when she finished.

"Yet, now, she wouldn't even apologize but instead shield her fake daughter with a criminal mind! It's so disgusting!" Everyone in the shop looked at each other before they cast different looks upon Allison.
