Judyâs expression turned colder.
For my birthday, everyone in the West Family must be here, including Peter and his eldest son. However, only Sarah, that b*tch, refused to come.
The reason Judy went to Sarahâs store today was to tell her personally to bring Harry along to her birthday party.
But that b*tch actually rolled her eyes at me!
Faye knew that Judy didnât have enough power to ask Harry to join the party, so she deliberately brought up the topic.
Both of them were competing with each other with all their might, but to outsiders, they seemed like close sisters.
Victoria, on the other hand, glanced at the Mitchell Family from time to time.
The Mitchell Family is the real aristocrat! If only I could marry someone from the Mitchell family!
Even though the scale of the party wasnât too big as only the West and Edwards Family members were invited to have a simple dinner, it was the birthday of Mr. Westâs third wife after all, so it would only be appropriate for someone from the Mitchell Family next door to send some presents.
Sean was the only person from the Mitchell Family there, making Victoria over the moon. Since he was handsome and elegant, she kept striking up conversations with him. However, he merely smiled at her coldly.
Suddenly, the door of the bustling West Residence was suddenly pushed open, followed by a few people coming in. The leading people were Sarah, the Young Lady of the West Family who said she wouldnât be joining, and Sophia, the youngest daughter of Joe from the Edwards Family.
Their arrival had stunned everyone in the hall. Seeing Sarahâs return, Mr. West was quite pleased.
âSarah, youâre back? Is Ethan here?â
However, Ethan was nowhere to be seen.
Sarah was already walking to Judy in large strides. Without any small talk, she asked directly, âWhere did you hide Sophiaâs cat? Bring it out now!â
Seeing that Sarah was prepared to ruin the entire occasion, Mr. West was immediately highly alert as he barked harshly, âSarah, is this how you speak to Judy?â
However, Sarah refused to back down today and asked Judy again fiercely, âWhereâs the cat? The Persian cat! Where did you hide Sophiaâs cat you stole?â
Judy acted as if she was scared by her and hid behind Mr. West weakly. âDear, look at what Sarah is saying. Today is actually my birthday, you knowâ¦â
Mr. West also scolded Sarah harshly, âToday is Judyâs birthday. What are you talking about?â
Sarah was already used to her fatherâs bias. Taking a deep breath, she uttered, âJudy mixed up the cats at my store today and brought Sophiaâs cat home, so Iâm here with Sophia to take the cat back. Judy, please return the cat to Sophia. Itâs very important to her.â
Looking at Judy, Mr. West said, âIf you took the wrong cat, just return it to them.â
However, Judy frowned innocently. âNo, I didnât. My pair of Persian cats are definitely the right ones!â She turned to Sarah. âSarah, today is my birthday after all. Youâd better know your limits and stop making a scene. I know you are angry because I neglected you in the past, but todayâs my birthday after all. We can settle everything privately, canât we? Youâre⦠deliberately embarrassing your father!â
Thinking that Sarah was deliberately making a scene, Mr. West was about to flare up.
Sophia, who hadnât been speaking a lot since they arrived, spoke coldly, âJudy, youâve indeed taken the wrong cat. If you donât believe me, show me the Persian cats youâve got.â
While speaking, she glanced at Judyâs arms, which had some obvious cat scratches. One of Garfieldâs left paw nails was bitten off by Snowball, so she always left four deep scratches and one lighter one. It was quite unique.
Subconsciously, Judy covered her arms and complained to Mr. West sweetly, âDear, look at this group of kidsâthey are not giving me any face at all. And all I want is just to have a peaceful birthday.â
Mr. West dared to scold his own daughter, but since Sophia was not his daughter, it was not appropriate for him to flare up at her. Hence, he suggested, âLetâs take a seat first. We are all a family. We can talk about this later.â
Sophiaâs voice turned even colder. âAre you really not giving me my cat back?â
Looking pitiful, Judy almost cried. âSophia, I really donât know what cat you want from me. If you are not happy with me, you can just tell meâ¦â
Since it was the birthday of Mr. Westâs third wife, the rest of the family members were unhappy about the way Sophia ruined this. Hence, as her father, Joe would have to step up and say something no matter what.
âYou unfilial daughter! What do you want this time?â With his belly fat wiggling, he rushed over to them quickly.
Everyone thought that he would be able to at least hold Sophia back. However, after she turned around and glared at him coldly, Joe was stunned immediately on the ground.
âYou donât have to be involved in this, dad.â
Though Sophiaâs words sounded gentle, it was firm.
All of Joeâs courage just now had disintegrated.
Even though she was his daughter, Joe didnât even have the courage to speak in front of her.
However, in front of both families, he must do something about this.
Just as he was about to speak, Sophia turned around and said in a low voice, âStanley, let the dogs out.â
She then turned to Judy. âBy the way, your face simply looks evil. You look hideous trying to act cute.â
With that, Judy glared at her fiercely.
Stanley walked out with three people behind him. Each of them had a military dog that they had borrowed in their hands. The dogs had a great sense of smell; after they sniffed Garfieldâs belongings, they started barging into the West Residence immediately.
With the three dogs running around, all the women in the West Residence scrambled to escape from them.
Judy was so shocked that she clung onto Mr. West, who was beyond furious. He said darkly to Sophia, âSophia, seeing that you are Judyâs younger relative and Sarahâs good friend, Iâm talking to you nicely.
Donât take it for granted!â
After all, the glorious days of Taylor Murray were about to end soon. If they went overboard, he was also not worried about it. After all, people from the West Family werenât people who could be easily bullied.
Anxious, Sarah tried to convince him. âDad, wake up! Judy took Sophiaâs cat. Weâre just here to get her cat back!â
Mr. Westâs voice boomed at Sarah loudly. âShut your mouth! Itâs not your turn to speak yet!â
Shocked by his roar, tears finally found their way out of her eyes as she looked at the hypocrite, Judy, and her berserk father. After wiping off her tears, she said furiously, âFine! Iâll shut up and see how you can protect this cat thief!â
The entire situation was almost like a warzone. No matter whether Judy had actually stolen the cat, or if Sophia was merely looking for trouble, one thing was sureâthe dispute between the West and the Edwards Family was inevitable.
Joe quickly walked to them to be the peacemaker. âSophia, itâs enough. Itâs just a cat! Stop the drama and follow me home. I can give you a new cat. No matter how many cats you want, I can give them to you too.â
Sophia continued to glance at Judy coldly without even looking at Joe. âMy cat was a gift from Mr.
Michel. Can you find the exact same cat for me, dad?â
Linus Michel!
