My behavior inflamed my sister. "Wesley! Can you stop acting like that? Do you think we're abusing you?"
Meanwhile, Max looked artificially sorrowful and blamed me, "Wesley, I know I'm not a good cook, but do you really have to insult me like that?"
Kayla looked at me coldly. "You're a man. Can you be like a man?"
Enduring the pain in my abdomen, I started to engulf all the dishes that hurt my body.
She was stunned for a few seconds, then started to sneer again. "Our education of courtesy and decency has all been in vain. Don't eat like a country boy!"
My heart skipped a beat.
Country boy...
I remembered when I was ten years old, Kayla and I went back to the countryside to visit our grandparents, and we met many countryside children there.
At that time, she did not mind the mud on their bodies and washed the dust off for them with her own hands with an oath.
"When I grow up, I will definitely set up a fund to help these children," she said.
But now, Kayla had forgotten her commitment, and her ambition of expanding her business empire grew bigger and bigger.
When did it start?
It probably started with the crisis of the Adams Group.
It also led to her engagement with Max.
At that time, the Adams Group endeavored to obtain a big project, but it turned out to be a trap that would bring the whole company down. At the critical moment, Kayla took over the company from the desperate Ryan.
But just before the Adams Group was about to go bankrupt, the Wood Group issued an official announcement that the Wood Group would financially help the Adams Group through the marriage between their heirs.
Before that, Max had been pursuing Kayla but ended in failure every time.
I knew she didn't like him at all.
"Kayla, wait for me. When I grow up a little bit, I can help you manage the company. Together, we can make the company bigger and stronger!" I said at that time.
Kayla looked at me tenderly with a smile on her face. "Okay! I believe you."

When I came back to reality from my memory, Kayla slapped me and knocked over my plate.
"You don't want to eat it, right? Then starve!"
My face was burning.
But I felt relieved because I didn't have to eat those spicy foods anymore.
Even the things we once loved would become annoying, just like Kayla to me.
However, Max protected me from her scolding and thoughtfully appeased her.
