Angela was a smart girl. Many times, she could notice something was wrong even at a glance.
Martha was most afraid that her daughter was so clever that she was nearly immune to lies. She could only pretend to be calm and said, "Fixing up is always needed. I don't like the layout of our old house. We need to change the layout again. After finishing the decoration, the house needs some time for ventilation. It will take at least a few months. So, we must live here for a while."
Angela frowned as she heard that. "Our house was just finished not long ago. And you are totally satisfied with your own design style. Why do you want to fix it again?"
She stared at Martha and always felt that she was telling a lie.
Martha replied calmly, "It's because of your father's assistant. The decoration team we found was cheating us, using all those poor materials. Although we’ve just finished the decoration not long ago, the walls were already cracking."
