The Day I Kissed An Older Man

All the guests were all somewhat surprised. They had not expected Rita to smile and carry on with such ease and humor after experiencing such a situation. They could not help but feel that she truly lived up to the status of being a well-bred young lady of the Russells.

In contrast, Sadie was fuming in the background. 'Who does Rita think she is to steal the spotlight like this? What a shameless, despicable person! She had been accused of stealing Mom's bangle, yet she could still smile. This chick's mental resilience is remarkable.'

"Rita, are you trying to get away by changing the topic? You haven't given Mom an explanation yet," said Sadie.

It was no wonder the others thought Sadie was a less well-bred version of Rita.

The guests could not help but wonder if they needed to stick around and wait for them to resolve the matter. Even if Rita did break Karen's bangle, so what? What did it have to do with them?

They had shown enough face to the Russells by staying this long. Rita had graciously suggested they leave, yet Sadie decided to stir up trouble again.
