Chapter 0815: Enemies on a Narrow Road

"I can't stand hearing this," Susanna Smith immediately retorted: "Phoebe is also a child I watched grow up from the start. It's true that sometimes she's too blunt, and she might have said some things too directly, which upset you, but for you to actually hit someone, that's just unacceptable. Last night, she got so angry that she moved out of the Thompson Manor. She's just a child, with no one at home..."

Jaylene Ziel understood the underlying message—essentially, Susanna Smith was here to ask her to apologize to Phoebe Smith and then also plead with her to move back into the Thompson Manor.

Ask Phoebe for forgiveness? And then the family is supposed to be harmonious again?

But the key issue was, could harmony be achieved? With Phoebe's temperament?

If she bowed to Phoebe this time, she could foresee just how miserably Phoebe would bully her in the days to come at the Thompson Family.
