Chapter 63. Dinner Table Games and Dangerous Claims

Mabel was visibly shaken but she managed to overcome her fears. “No. You don’t.” She said sharply.

Madam Xi bursted into laughter which left everyone in confusion. “I was just messing with you.” She said walking away from her.

“Mom, really?” Wilson exclaimed, trying to regain his confidence.

“That was not fair mom, I didn’t know you still pulled people’s legs like that,” Rowan said, following her to the dinner table. The others also followed.

“Are you all going to gang up against me? Because it seems like it.” Madam Xi protested. “But it does seem like I have met her before.”

Mabel and Wilson exchange glances. Mabel knew she was right but Wilson was just checking in on her to see if she was fine.

“Amanda, darling, are you alright? You have been quiet and uncomfortable since we came” Madam Xi asked.

“This is the first time she is entertaining the whole family. She overworked herself to make this pleasing.” Rowan answered before she could.
