Dating dinner, Harvey turned to Madison and asked, "Do you like the new furniture? We can change it if you're not into it."
Before Madison could reply, queenie rested her chin on her hand and sarcastically remarked, "You're spoiling Madison too much, Harvey. She's been back for just a bit, and now, she's getting new furniture again.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
"Becky has had the same furniture for over two years. Haven't you thought about upgradingher set, too?"
Harvey looked over and gazed at Rebecca. "Is that how you feel?"
Rebeccaresponded, "No, Harvey"
Queenie spoke up for Rebecca, "It's not Becky's fault. I'm just sticking up for her. Becky's your sister, too, so you shouldn't play favorites."
Tanya loved Rebecca a lot, and she was worried about the latter getting hurt. So, she quickly reassured Rebecca, "We treat Becky and Maddie equally. If Maddie gets new stuff, Becky will, too. Just tell Mom what you want, and I'll get it for you,"
Rebecca beamed at Tanya. "You're the best, Mom!"
William looked at Rebecca with affection. "It's only furniture. Don't let it bother you. I'll get you something better and more expensive. Is that okay, my princess?" "Thanks, Dad. You're the best"
With a look of admiration, Queenie held her face up with her hands. “Mr. and Mrs. Locke are the best parents ever! I'm so jealous of you, Becky!"
The dining table was filled with laughter and a heartwarming atmosphere.
Harvey furrowed his brows and looked at Madison.
jost sat there quietly, barely saying anything through the entire ordeal. She silently had her meal, as though she wasn't part of the lively chatter among the Locke family.
Out of nowhere, a mix of guilt and anger washed over Harvey. He slammed his hand on the table, and the dining table went silent right away
Harvey's eyes were wide as he snapped, "Why all the fuss about changing furniture? Maddie's getting new stuff because she's using Rebecca's used furniture. Seriously, are you really not seeing this, Mom and Dad queenie doesn't know anything, but you should.
"Becky is one of us, and so does Maddie. Can't you stop playing favorites?"
Rebecca was flabbergasted, whereas Tanya and William looked upset, Queenie gawked as she huddled in her seat
The scene went quiet. Even Madison set down her cutlery, staring at Harvey with surprise
Harvey calmed down. "Stop keeping it all in, Maddie. If something's bothering you, just speak up. I got your back."
Madison blinked her eyes with a puzzled look. "I'm not being mistreated in any way."
Rebecca started crying, tears streaming down her cheeks. Sobbing, she pointed at Harvey and said, "I know I'm not part of the Locke family, and I don't belong here. I don't want you to fight with Mom and Dad. I'll just leave now."
She got up, turned around, and ran upstairs to her room
Queenie hurriedly ran after her. Upon arriving at the stairs, she turned and snapped, "Don't you think you're going too far, Harvey?
"And you, too."Queenie pointed at Madison. "Stop playing the pity card. You might fool others, but not me."
The mood in the dining room was pretty tense.
William hurled, "Seriously, do you have to ruin a perfectly fine dinner like this?!
As William spoke, he flared his gate on Madison.
Harvey rose to his feet and quickly stood in front of Madison. "This isn't on Maddie, Dad. I just couldn't stand it anymore. William scoffed. "We know exactly how you treated Becky in the past. Who are you siding with now? Do you think I'm blind? Tanya looked at Madison with disappointment and a frown.
Since Madison wasn't raised by them, she was so petty. She came home not long ago and immediately started fighting for attention.
Tanya sternly added, "Maddie, you might be the heiress of the Locke family, but so is Becky. We see you both as equals. Becky will always be our daughter. No one is going to kick her out of the family" She glanced at Madison. "It doesn't matter who you're trying to win over. It's all the same."
No matter whether it was the Salle family or Harvey, nobody was going to kick Becky out.
Rebecca's upset crying could be heard from upstairs, Wam and Tanya tried to calm her down, whereas Queenie let out her frustration angrily.
