Chapter 20 Conflict Over Fish With Sauerkraut

• Eliza had always regarded herself as everyone’s favourite child within the household, so she perceived her mother’s cold treatment of her as a slight. “Jolene can skip these two dishes if she can’t have them! Why would you forbid the housekeeper from preparing them? Is everything on the table prepared only for Jolene?”
• There was a hint of awkwardness on Jolene’s face as she replied, “Eliza is right. There are so many people within the household, so we shouldn’t merely be prioritizing my needs.”
• My mother-in-law didn’t expect her own daughter to pick a fight with her, so she shot Eliza a glare, to which the latter responded with a glower. Not only did Eliza express her anger using her glare, she even took a bite out of the fish before praising, “It tastes great, and even better than the ones prepared by the chefs who work in restaurants! Victoria sure knows how to cook!”
