Keira Leaf was somewhat surprised by the grown lady's manner of speaking to Toni Armstrong, estimating that woman's status at heart.
Toni Armstrong didn't seem displeased with the grown lady's attitude, instead, he said with a smile, "In the world, how many can have Marilyn your insight and ability? If you had been willing to help me discipline these disappointing stuff a bit earlier, where would there be today's troubles?"
"Why the false modesty? It's only natural for a person to have some reluctance when dealing with their own flesh and blood; I wasn't trying to deride you," Marilyn Carter spoke again, her tone ambiguous.
Victoria Carter, who was by the side, didn't interject, but from time to time, she looked up at Keira Leaf.
Not long after, the meal concluded, and the group moved to the living room sofa. Zachary Armstrong remained standing behind Dragon Carter like a pole, while Marilyn Carter sat next to Toni Armstrong.
