Shouko was facing the door. Mother Yuasa was looking at her back with malicious intent written all over her face. Father Yuasa broke into a cold sweat. He urgently tugged his wife's arm, threatening her to stay silent.

"Why? Are you intrigued by what I'm saying?" Mother Yuasa sneered. The irritation she felt earlier dissipated as it was replaced with a triumphant in her black heart. "Do you think your husband is being honest with you? Haven't you thought that he hides secrets from you?"
Mai and Noriko looked pale as the spiteful woman continued speaking. They were eager to run toward her and tear down her vile face. Better yet if they could just cut her malicious tongue!
