Old Mrs. Lockwood sneered, "Zoe, you're not young anymore. Stop crying at the drop of a hat. If people see, they might think this old lady is bullying you."
"Sean."
After speaking to Zoe Quinn, Old Mrs. Lockwood called out to Sean Lockwood, who seemed lost in thought.
"You should head back home early."
"Grandma, Sean and I didn't bring a car."
Zoe Quinn quickly replied.
She had spent a lot of money on a birthday gift for Old Mrs. Lockwood, trying to please her to get permission to stay at the Lockwood family residence.
With just one sentence, Old Mrs. Lockwood brushed aside Zoe's unspoken request, leaving Zoe feeling unwilling. She glared angrily at Sean Lockwood.
Sean Lockwood seemed oblivious to Zoe's glare. Complying with Old Mrs. Lockwood's words, he answered, "Okay!"
Then, Sean Lockwood started to walk forward, and Zoe Quinn furiously stomped her foot.
"Sean!"
She called out, and Sean Lockwood actually stopped.
"Grandma."
