The room went quiet.
Joe stood there awkwardly, looking at Selina, wanting to say something but holding back.
Damien was beyond annoyed at Joe's spinelessness—always trying to please everyone. He let out a cold laugh and said, "Selina, don't bother listening to people who don't matter. Just eat."
Joe had officially been reduced to "someone who doesn't matter."
His face flushed red. He opened his mouth but couldn't get a word out.
Grandma Morris was furious, shaking with rage.
What did they mean by mocking the Morris Family for not being strong enough? The Morris Family gave Selina a chance to come back—she was the one who refused it!
But…
Grandma Morris's eyes lit up with an idea.
Sure, Mrs. Brown and Damien were backing Selina for now, but they weren't her real family. Who knew what her life was actually like in the Brown Family? Maybe they were just putting on a show for outsiders.
