The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 36 The Rules of the Olteran Family

Cindy finally arrived at the restaurant. As the meal began, she saw everyone washing their hands, while Vera picked up her fork and began eating without waiting for Shawn to speak. Patrick sat nearby, his heart racing. He had no idea that Vera could have such a significant impact on his own heart rate.

Taking this opportunity, Cindy was the first to stir up trouble. "Vera, do you even understand the rules? You're supposed to wash your hands before eating. Didn't your parents teach you that?" Vera slammed her fork on the table and stared at Cindy. "Cindy, have you forgotten the pain once the wounds on your face healed?"

As soon as she mentioned it, Cindy became angry. Unable to control her rage, Cindy stood up and pointed at Vera. "You, you! This family can't have both of us. If there's me, then there's no you, and if there's you, then there's no me." "Cindy, I think you're getting old, that's why you easily get angry. You're probably going through menopause. Last year, my grandmother took some medicine during menopause, and it worked pretty well. So, I recommend you get some medicine too," Vera said.

Cindy was enraged by Vera's words. Vincent wearily closed his eyes. Every time Cindy tried to embarrass Vera, she ended up being humiliated by Vera in the end. She never seemed to learn her lesson.

Just when Cindy was about to insult Vera, Shawn, sitting at the head of the table, spoke up, "That's enough!"

Shawn continued, "Vera, apologize to Cindy."

"Why should I apologize? She insulted me first."

Vera intentionally avoided the argument and stayed in the small space of the master bedroom all day, not going out.

But Cindy ended up provoking Vera's parents. Vera also didn't want to stir up trouble, but Cindy kept provoking her.

Vera considered the Olteran family. Patrick, her husband, didn't care about Vera and simply watched her being bullied. Vincent, being Cindy's husband, naturally defended her. Shawn and Cindy had a long-standing family relationship. As an outsider, Vera couldn't expect Shawn to treat them fairly.

If he were truly fair, he would have taken Cindy to apologize at the Linister Villa long ago.

Vera still couldn't understand how she had offended Cindy. It seemed that without realizing it, she and Cindy had an irreconcilable conflict.

Shawn couldn't tolerate Vera's defiance. "Since you married Patrick, there has been no harmony in this family every day. You should control your temper, Vera. I've indulged you for long enough."

Vera sneered, "Indulged? I appreciate your indulgence, but I don't care."

"Vera! Do you even understand what respect means?"

"Respect is mutual. I want to ask, have you respected me?"

Shawn said, "I have respected you."

"How have you respected me?"

The Olteran family fell silent in response to Vera's question. After a moment, Shawn's face turned red, and he spoke slowly, "The rules of the Oltratan family require everyone to respect their elders. Since you are a member of the Olteran family, you should follow this rule and apologize to Cindy."

Cindy, delighted to see Vera scolded by Shawn, looked at her triumphantly. Vera clenched her fist, suppressing her anger, and said to Cindy, "I'm sorry."

As Shawn gradually calmed down, Cindy felt happy. However, Vera had another question, "But when will Cindy apologize to my parents? Since the rules of the Oltratan family require everyone to respect their elders. I would like to know when Cindy will fulfill this rule."

Cindy responded, "Impossible! Your mom is younger than me. I can't apologize to her."
