Chapter 083 Extremely Shameless
After hearing Priscila's words, Teresa couldn't hold the anger pent up in her heart any longer. But she still held herself in good grace and didn't slap the table at Priscila.
She walked unhurriedly into the cashier, sat down, and looked at Priscila and, asking rhetorically, "Priscila, you said my sister beat up Patrick? Did you see that? Did my sister start the fight? Did Patrick not fight back? How badly was Patrick beaten? Was he hospitalized?"
Priscila said shamelessly, "Even if Patrick started it, so what? Leila should be taught a lesson. Patrick wanted to teach her a lesson that day. But considering that you brought your husband over, he showed Leila mercy. And also because of our persuasion, he didn't beat her."
"Your sister is such a terrible wife. What kind of man would not slap her if they had a wife like her? Your sister did wrong and deserved to be beaten by her husband. How dare she fight back? She even beat Patrick so badly that he didn't dare to come home for a few days."
"Teresa, you are a few years younger than Leila. But since you are married now, you've become a true adult. You are Leila's family, so we can only come to you to talk about how to deal with this. You must let Leila go to my house to apologize to Patrick with decent gifts. And she should write a promise notification that she will never fight with Patrick again. And she should take him home personally."
After hearing Priscila's words, Teresa and Gwendolyn were totally shocked.
Teresa knew that Priscila was a shameless b*tch. The last time Leila came to her, she told her something about Priscila. But judging from the current situation, Priscila was the b*tch of the b*tch.
She was about to burst out laughing in anger.
Priscila and Penny didn't give Teresa a chance to speak. After Priscila finished, Penny continued, "Teresa, Priscila is right. What kind of wife doesn't go to work and doesn't cook?"
"Patrick has to go to work. He is very busy. When he got home after a busy morning, he didn't even have lunch to eat. And he had to cook for himself. Then what's the difference between him and a single man?"
"Patrick pays for the mortgage and household expenses. Leila only stays at home and takes care of the kid. She doesn't have to do anything else. Andy is a very good boy. Leila is purely having fun at home. She has such a good life, but she doesn't appreciate it? And what was wrong with her fighting with Patrick?"
"Patrick is under so much pressure. She can't help Patrick at work, fine. But how could she not cook and let Patrick be hungry? It was so reasonable for Patrick to get angry. Anyone would be pissed off by that! Patrick raised the go-haves mode because he was so desperate. Look at your sister's bills. She spends $200 a day! Did she think Patrick had a gold finger that could turn everything into gold as long as he touched it?"
"Ten dollars a day for groceries is enough for a family of three. And it would only take three hundred dollars a month for living expenses. Patrick gave her six hundred dollars a month. She could have some money left. How should she talk to Patrick about her go-haves entries?"
"If she is so capable, she should go make money by herself. Do not spend Patrick's money! Leila does not care about him, but we, as his parents and siblings, care about him. Leila was highly educated, but so what? She still can't make money now. Look at Priscila. She has three children, but she still makes money to support her family?"
"Why can't your sister go to work after she has a child? Why does she always ask Patrick to support her? She is not Patrick's child. Why should Patrick support her? Since she is supported by Patrick, how could she not take good care of Patrick? Now she doesn't even cook anymore. What a terrible woman!"
"She should feel lucky to meet us. We've been kind enough to put up with Leila. If she married into another family, see if they would put up with her. They would have divorced her and kicked her out of the house."
Penny's words were even more outrageous than Priscila's.
Gwendolyn went to take a broom and then pretended to sweep the floor. Actually, she was waiting for Teresa's signal to kick these two shameless women out.
They were women too. Why did they have to make things difficult for another woman?
Teresa was so angry that she was about to explode. She held a grim look and said in a cold voice, "Penny, you are helping Priscila with her three kids. Do you think taking care of children is an easy task? Do you think you can make money with a two-year-old child who needs your care all the time?"
"Penny has three children, but you and Paul are taking care of all her children. She just gave birth to them. My sister gave birth to Andy, the grandson of the Cerone family. But you have never lent a hand to take care of Andy. Don't you feel ridiculous and embarrassed to compare Penny with my sister?"
"If you can help Leila with the kid, Leila can go out to work and make money too. Before Leila got married, her income was higher than Patrick's."
Priscila cut in, "Who gave birth to the child should take care of the child. The parents-in-law are not obligated to take care of the grandchildren."
"Yeah. Who gave birth to the child should take care of the child. Penny, why don't you take care of your children personally?
Priscila thought for a second and then said, "My parents are willing to help me with my children. Tell Leila to ask your parents to help her with the baby if she can."
Teresa picked up the glass of water in front of Priscila and splashed it directly on Priscila's face.
"Ah! Teresa, what are you doing!"
"Your mouth is so stinky and toxic, let me wash it for you."
Teresa glared coldly at the mother and daughter.
Priscila was so angry that she wanted to hit back. But she was pulled back by Penny. Penny said to her daughter, "Leila and Teresa's mom and dad died more than ten years ago. Why do you have to rub it in? Don't blame Teresa for being angry."
"But she can't throw water on my face and get my clothes all wet. Teresa, do you know how much my clothes cost? Can you afford to pay for it?"
Gwendolyn, who was sweeping the floor hard, finally caught a chance to cut in, "You mean the dress you are wearing? Well, if your dress is authentic from the brand, it should be worth a few hundred dollars. Unfortunately, what you're wearing is fake. It is quite cheap. If you paid hundreds of dollars for it, then you were fooled. It shouldn't cost you that much. It should cost eighty dollars at most."
Priscila's face fell. She pointed at Gwendolyn and scolded, "What do you know? You're the one who's wearing imitation? This is genuine. It costs hundreds of dollars a piece. Can you afford it? You said my dress is an imitation only because you can't afford it and are jealous of me."
Gwendolyn blew a raspberry, "Any piece of my clothes costs hundreds of dollars. And for some designer brands, it costs thousands of dollars for one piece. Your dress could only be used as a rag for the table in my house."
"You..."
Priscila was so angry that her face turned ghastly stern.
In fact, she was a bit vain. Because she only spent a few dozen dollars to buy this dress. She had checked on the official website of this brand that the genuine product would cost several hundred dollars for one piece. She didn't dare to guarantee that her dress was really authentic.
"Teresa."
Priscila shouted, "What kind of employee did you hire? Her attitude is so terrible! You have to fire her."
Teresa coldly said, "Sorry, she is not my staff. Miss Gaston is the shareholder of my store. Penny, are you really wearing an imitation? Why do I feel that you are annoyed because Miss Gaston told the truth?"
Wearing imitation goods to pretend to be wearing genuine products, Pricila should win the best award for the match of stupidity.
And Priscila even said to her that she couldn't afford to pay her back? Priscila was a joke.
"Penny, forget about the clothes for now. About what happened between my sister and Patrick, as my sister's family, I'll let you know my stance. Since Patrick wanted to implement go-haves on bills, Leila had to implement go-haves on housework. That's right. He came up with the terms, and he has to live with the consequences. Don't think he can pay half of the bills and ask Leila to do all the work. There's no such a bargain as that."
