Chapter 2728

Yannie never thought that Tina would suddenly target her. She bit her lip and instinctively glanced at
Thomas.

Thomas furrowed his brow and turned to stare coldly at Tina. “Don’t terrorize her.”

“You think she’s terrorizing her?” Denise was upset by the way Thomas defended Yannie. “Thomas,
Godmom is just trying to be nice.

“It’s already lunchtime, yet the two of you refuse to touch even a single bite. Do you somehow think that
Godmom and I have spiked the food?”

Denise picked up her fork and placed a bite of every dish onto her plate, then said, sneering, “Since
you guys are convinced the food is poisoned, feel free to stay hungry.”

Then, she lowered her head and began to eat.

Yannie bit her lip and glanced first at Thomas, then at Tina and Denise, who was sitting across from
her.

The atmosphere in the room was awkward.

Yannie sighed and contemplated for a long time, then finally picked up a spoonful of food.

Since she and Thomas had already shown up, it meant that they had already agreed to sit at the table
with Tina and Denise for a meal. It was pointless to refuse to eat.

At the thought of this, she lowered her head and began eating too.



She could not taste any trace of poison inside the food, but she had to admit that the chef’s cooking
was exceptional.

She had not eaten something so good in a long time!

However, no matter how pleasantly delighted she was by every bite, Yannie still tried to suppress her
emotions to prevent anyone from seeing right through her.

After all, her mother had advised her that no matter how freely she behaved at home, she had to learn
to be ladylike and polite whenever she was with Thomas.

Therefore, even though she favored a few particular dishes, she still tried to eat every dish out of
courtesy.

Thomas sighed when he noticed how careful Yannie was behaving and finally let his guard down. He
put some. more food onto her plate and said, “You don’t have to be so nice to them. No matter how
hard you try, they won’t grow to like you anyway.”

The color drained from all three women’s faces.

Tina let out an awkward chuckle. “How can you say that, Thomas? What makes you think I won’t grow
to like Yannie? She’s a good girl; of course I like her!”

“Is that so?” Thomas took a sip from his cup and stared coldly at Tina. “Yes, Yannie is a good girl, but I
don’t think you’ll end up liking her.”

Then, he glanced coldly at Denise and added, “If you truly like Yannie, you wouldn’t even have allowed
your goddaughter to be sitting here with us. Do you need me to recount what Denise had done to
Yannie before?”



Tina and Denise’s expressions darkened upon hearing this.

Yannie pursed her lips when she sensed the atmosphere grow cold and quickly placed some food in
front of Thomas. “Let’s eat first.”

Thomas fell silent and finally gave up pursuing this. Instead, he shut his mouth and continued eating.

A glimmer of triumph flashed through Denise’s eyes when she saw Thomas eating, and she
instinctively exchanged a knowing glance with Tina.

As long as Thomas ate something at this table, they succeeded!
