A Graduation Gift
Chapter 468 Get To The Bottom
Edith trotted to her daughters hurriedly and stopped right between, her eyes darting sternly between the two of them silently.
"Okay! The two of you need to sit down and work things out! Sit down, now! I am not allowing any of you to leave this house until we get to the bottom of this!"
She had just gotten the whole story and was shocked to find the truth of what was happening between her daughters. Her expression clearly stated that she had realized she had been a bad mother and that none of them had bothered to talk to her about it.
Cloris had had a problem with Cassandra ever since she came back from abroad, and Edith used to think Cloris hated Cassandra because of her relationship with Rufus, but only now did she understand the case. She had never imagined that the sisters had gotten into such a mess.
Cloris sighed, giving a disgruntled, sharp look in Cassandra's direction.
"Mother, I have nothing to say. It happened so long ago and I had no evidence whatsoever. It's not like she would simply admit it," she said with an impatient snort. One could sense how she just wanted to get this over with.
Seeing the halfhearted look on Cloris's face, Edith glowered at her.
"I said sit down! Don't you dare leave!" she spoke in a low voice through her teeth.
Edith seldom talked to Cloris in this way, so the shock was evident on her face. Reluctantly, Cloris sat down on the sofa.
"Cassandra, sit down. You too, Rufus, but don't say anything. This is strictly a family matter, and I want both my daughters to give me an explanation for this mess!"
Edith wore a tough look. Frankly, she couldn't believe she didn't try to figure out the reason for the tension between them earlier.
Under their mother's strict order, Cassandra and Cloris sat down, but as far away from each other as possible. Edith sat in the middle. She looked from one to the other, her eyebrows pressed together.
"Cloris, you go first! Tell me what exactly happened that night, spare no detail."
She decided to listen to Cloris's side of the story first.
Cloris hesitated for a while and cast a glance at Rufus. What she was about to say required courage and could cause a glitch in her reputation. She couldn't utter a single word in his presence.
Rufus immediately got what was on her mind.
"I'm gonna go for a smoke," he said, trying to sound casual.
He then left the room without any hesitation.
