Before Natalie had noticed it, Sharon had already caught it. Pointing at Jacqueline, she declared, “Mommy, Ms. Graham is looking at you with hatred in her eyes!”

As soon as she said that, everyone stopped eating and swung their gazes at Jacqueline.

Meanwhile, Jacqueline had never expected the envy that she usually concealed so well to be discovered by a little girl, who even blurted it. Thus, she hadn’t the time to mask it before everyone turned their gazes on her.

Shane’s face darkened at once. “I need an explanation from you, Jacqueline.”

Natalie didn’t say anything since there was no need for her to do so when he had already spoken. She merely waited for Jacqueline’s explanation.
