She was clearly upset that Helen was chosen as a candidate for the next head of the Lane family, but so what if she was? In the end, Helen still had to kneel before her grandma.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn the other hand, Frank was frowning as he watched Helen kneel.
He was already sick of such ugly tradition, and even Godwin Lawrence—the most corrupt man Frank ever knew— never maintained such tradition.
In contrast, the fact that spaltry households would maintain it made it clear they were used to bullying the younger generation.
Still, Frank bore with it, staying silent since being a candidate for the next head of the Lane family was very important to Helen.
Meanwhile, Fleur remained apathetic as she sat there, watching Helen kneel. She waited until Helen's fingers started shaking from holding the teacup before nodding in satisfaction, and slowly took it.
However, she only took a sip when her face fell, and she spat it at Helen's face! Smashing the teacup into pieces on the floor, she pointed at Helen and snapped, "You wretch! Are you trying to burn me?!" "What the hell, Helen?" Luna exclaimed, glaring at Helen while bringing a towel to wipe Fleur's lips. "Are you trying to hurt Grandma?!" Helen scowled—Luna and Fleur's reactions were clearly scripted and meant to frher! And the fact that Fleur spat the tea at her meant this cg tradition—it was a barenaked insult.

Instead, she was here to assert her authority over Helen and bully her! At the stime, Jade was glowering and shouting at Helen, "What's your problem? You can't even make a cup of tea?!" “She's just used to keeping company with savages," Luna gloated gleefully. "She knows nothing of the tradition of the upper class." "Oh, it's just a misunderstanding." Gina promptly cleaned up the mess on the floor, shaking her head. "I had the tea myself. It won't burn!" Fleur's face fell. "What, are you accusingof lying? That I'm harassing Helen?" "No, no, no, of course not." Gina quickly apologized, afraid of arguing at all.
Jade, Fleur, and Luna were smiling gleefully at Gina's spooked reaction—she was clearly spineless, and her daughter would not amount to much.
Someone like Helen end up as the head of the Lane family? No chance! But since they were accepted back into the family, they should properly break her so that she would understand who held the power in the family. It was the only way to make Helen and Gina understand that they should know their place and never covet what would always lie beyond their reach! "What are you spacing out for, Helen?" Luna snapped authoritatively, glaring at Helen despite her inward delight.
"Serve Grandma again, and make sure the temperature's right this time!" "You heard Luna," Jade growled, rearing her chin.
