Chapter 1443: 360: Big Gun Falls from Grace! _1 Chapter 1443: 360: Big Gun Falls from Grace! _1 Phoebe Perryne accused Norma Augus of having no manners whatsoever.
A double entendre.
After all, inside the drawing room were the Thompson brothers: Mandel, Samuel and Edward.
As Mary Perryne's younger sister, she was the brothers' younger aunt.
However, these three brothers didn't react at all.
It was somewhat disrespectful of them.
Norma Augus understood the hidden message in her mother's words. Unfazed, she stepped forward with a smile, looking at Mary Perryne and Sawyer Thompson, and politely said: “Aunt, Uncle.”
While speaking, she quickly scanned the crowd.
She did not see Viola Thompson.
Nor did she see anyone resembling Terrence Lentz.
Norma Augus squinted her eyes, somewhat puzzled.
Where were Viola Thompson and Terrence Lentz?
Wasn't today the day for the parents of both sides to meet?
As Norma Augus was puzzling over this, Mary Perryne opened her mouth with a laugh,”You've really grown. If I saw you on the streets, I wouldn't even recognize you!”
Although Norma Augus disliked Mary Perryne, she didn't let it show, “Aunt, I believe I was only eight the last time we met!”
After the age of eight, Norma Augus' parents took her to permanently relocate to Cigacan, where they have resided ever since. Though they occasionally returned to their homeland, due to Mary Perryne's lack of filial piety, they never actively came back to visit Mrs. Perryne. As a result, Norma Augus had not seen Mary Perryne since.
Norma Augus had always thought Mary Perryne was rather attractive.
Great features, good temperament — otherwise Sawyer Thompson wouldn't have taken a liking towards her.
Today, even though Mary Perryne was past fifty, she looked as fresh as a woman in her thirties due to her well-kept appearance.
With that, Norma Augus continued, “So many years have passed, yet you still look so young and beautiful.”
If anyone else had said this, Mary Perryne would have been delighted.
But when it came from Norma Augus's mouth, she couldn't help but feel rather unhappy.
Mary Perryne instructed a servant to pour tea for the mother-daughter duo, then said, “Please, take a seat. Everyone here is family, no need for formalities!”
Phoebe Perryne and Norma Augus sat on the couch.
The once easy and pleasant atmosphere became somewhat strained with the arrival of Phoebe Perryne and Norma Augus.
Phoebe Perryne picked up her cup, took a sip of the tea, then started, “Sis, it's not just that you wouldn't recognize Norma, I hardly recognize these young men of your family!”
She had been here for quite some time yet the Thompson brothers had not spoken a word to her.
Mary Perryne feigned ignorance, “Yes, how time flies!”
At these words, Phoebe Perryne squinted. After so many years apart, Mary Perryne remained unchanged, with no signs of self-improvement.
As Mary Perryne's sister, if it were any other person, she would have immediately scolded the Thompson brothers in front of others, chiding them for their lack of manners.
But Mary Perryne didn't.
She didn't even pretend to.
It was a wonder how Sawyer Thompson had ever fallen for a woman like Mary Perryne.
With Mary Perryne's current attitude, she was far from appearing like the lady of a prestigious family.
Phoebe Perryne scoffed in her heart, then smiled and said, “Sis, both you and your husband have been quite busy lately, haven't you?”
If they weren't busy, how come they didn't even have time for a simple visit home?
Each of her words were like pitfalls. Despite this, Mary Perryne remained unfazed, and nodded, “Yes, we've been quite busy.”
After saying this, she placed her cup back on the coffee table. It seemed like she wanted to say something, but swallowed her words.
Today was a good day, she didn't want to ruin the mood because some insignificant people showed up.
Phoebe Perryne nodded, “I figured you would be too busy to even visit Mother.”
Phoebe Perryne wasn't afraid of Mary Perryne.
She was here today to seek justice for their mother.
Even if Mary Perryne still maintained her stubbornness, she was going to provoke her.
She wouldn't allow her mother to have suffered so much in vain.
As a daughter.
Mary Perryne deserved to be damned!
Upon hearing that, Norma Augus subtly upturned her lips.
She initially thought her mother would swallow her words. But to her surprise, her mother called things as they were.
What a feeling of catharsis.
People like Mary Perryne shouldn't be allowed any face-saving.
If you fail in your basic duties as a child, then you are not fit to be a person!
“Busy as I may be, I should still visit when it's expected of me.” Mary Perryne wasn't a pushover either. She turned to look at Phoebe Perryne, enunciating every word,” I visited Mother's grave on her death anniversary.”
