Chapter 33 Don’t Upset Hillary

“You can yell at me, I can take it. But how can you insult my parents? What did they do wrong?”

Agnes was shocked! So it was true what she said before about Hillary going to Montara to study acting wasn’t wrong at all!

“Agnes, Hillary can’t handle stress, don’t you know that? Why would you say things to upset her?!” Raymond held Hillary in his arms, his face full of anger.

Agnes said, “If I say I didn’t say those things, would you believe me?”

Raymond said, “If you didn’t say them, then why did Hillary have a seizure?! I already said I won’t get a divorce, what more do you want?!”

What a way to twist the truth. What a show of blind love.

“Why won’t you trust me, even once?” Agnes asked coldly.

Raymond froze for a moment. After staying quiet for a bit, he couldn’t give an answer.

It seemed like he had really never asked her. Every time, he just reacted without thinking and believed everything was her fault.

The restaurant became quiet again. The only sound was Hillary crying softly. The waiters heard the noise and came over.

Then suddenly, a loud noise broke the silence. “Grrr../grumble… grumble…”

The sound seemed to come from Hillary’s stomach, and everyone looked at her.

Her brows were tightly furrowed, and she held her stomach. The noise kept getting louder and louder.

“Grrr… grumble… grumble…”

Hillary was beyond embarrassed. If it were something else, she could try to hold it in.

But this loud noise from her stomach was something she couldn’t control at all. It felt like it was about to explode.

Her stomach hurt so much. Why did this have to happen now? I needed to go to the restroom.

Agnes quietly turned her face away. The corner of her mouth was almost impossible to hold down, like she was about to laugh.

Just now, when Hillary was ordering, Agnes said she needed to use the restroom. But in truth, she quietly went to a pharmacy downstairs and bought some laxatives.

Raymond had clearly said he booked the whole restaurant, yet Hillary still chose this time to show up. Agnes knew she was going to cause trouble.

Hillary loved playing this kind of “choose one” game. After seeing it so many times, Agnes knew all her

tricks.

Anything she liked, Hillary would find a way to take it right in front of Raymond, just to show that she was the one in control.

So, without anyone noticing, Agnes put the laxatives into the mushroom soup she ordered. And just as expected, Hillary took her soup.

Agnes bought the strongest kind.

Hillary tried to hold it in at first, but she couldn’t. A few loud farts slipped out, making her wish she could disappear from embarrassment.

She quickly broke free from Raymond’s arms and ran off.

She no longer looked weak like she did after the seizure. Under her white dress, there was a yellow stain.

Hillary was in so much pain that sweat covered her forehead, and her legs felt weak. She didn’t care about her image anymore.

She ran around the restaurant in a panic, like a headless chicken.

Ahhh! I’d never come to this restaurant again! This was too embarrassing! What was happening to me?!

“Miss, the restroom is over there.”

A waiter pointed the way for her. The other waiters whispered to each other–some laughed, some looked at her with disgust.

Raymond frowned and told someone to bring a clean set of clothes.

A waiter was about to take the clothes to Hillary, but Agnes stopped them.

‘I’ll go. Hillary’s a woman, and this is embarrassing. You don’t know her, so it’s better if I go.”

Raymond grabbed Agnes’s arm, looking a bit worried.

‘Agnes, don’t upset Hillary again. Just give her the clothes and come out.”

Agnes said, “Did the way she ran just now look like someone who feels sick?”

Raymond’s eyes looked unsure, and he slowly let go of her arm.

At the restroom door, Agnes could already hear loud noises inside, like a wild rock concert.

“Hillary, are you okay? I brought you some clean clothes…” she said teasingly.

After a long time, one of the doors opened a little. A hand reached out from inside. “Give it to me!!”

Agnes held her nose, clearly disgusted, and handed over the clothes. Then, on purpose, she “accidentally” dropped them on the floor.

“Oh no, Hillary. The clothes are right outside the door. You can pick them up yourself.”

Hillary was furious. She knew Agnes did it on purpose. Everything that happened today was because of

her.

“Agnes! Did you put something in the soup?!” Hillary shouted angrily.

Agnes said, “What are you talking about?

Hillary said, “Right after I drank that mushroom soup, my stomach started hurting. It must be you!!”

Looking at Hillary’s twisted, angry face, Agnes felt a bit of satisfaction. She stopped trying to pretend.

“Well, you figured it out. Haha! Don’t forget, you brought this on yourself. You just stole iny soup.

“If you want to blame someone, blame yourself. Or you can blame Raymond, too. He was the one who handed you that soup.

“But really, you should thank me. Look, your seizure is all better now, right?”

Hillary shouted, “You!!! I’m going to tell Raymond! Just you wait!”

Agnes shot back, “Go ahead and tell him! Do you think I’m scared? Hillary, you play these same tricks every day. Can’t you come up with something new?

“Only an idiot like Raymond keeps falling for it. If you’ve got the guts, make him sign the divorce papers.”
