The cold soaked through Summer in an instant.

She let out a sharp cry and shuddered violently.

She had already beeti standing in the freezing wind. Now, with a full basin of cold water dumped over her, the chill went straight through her body.

She spun around and saw Dora standing not far away with an empty basin in her hands.

Summer shouted furiously, “What are you doing p>

She had already been cold. Now, after that basin of water, it felt as if even the gaps between her bones had frozen.

Dora’s face was full of rage. “You’re asking me what I’m doing? What are you doing? Are you trying to drag all of us down so none of us gets to eat p>

Summer snapped, “What does that mean? Whether you eat or not has nothing to do with me p>

Just thinking about how they now had to work for every meal made Summer’s anger flare out of control.

Dora said, “You still don’t understand? We’re all tied together now. If one person doesn’t finish her work, none of us gets to eat p>

“When did that change p>

That had not been the rule before.

Before, everyone was responsible for their own chores. Whenever a person finished, she could eat.

What was this nonsense about being tied together?

The workload had already been unfair before, and they had not even had time to argue with Stella about it. Now that they were supposedly “one group,” wouldn’t the division of work become even more unfair?

Dora snapped, “It just changed p>

She spat out those three words.

Summer was not the only one unhappy about the new rule. Dora was furious too.

Before this, she had silently treated herself and Fiona as one team.

They worked together smoothly, and they usually finished around the same time.

But Summer was different.

Everyone had seen how she worked these past few days.

With the way she dragged her feet, wasn’t she going to make everyone suffer with her?

And then there was that Mrs. Mendes beside her.

If Ruby had to send someone over, couldn’t she have sent someone younger? That old woman was slow at everything.

Dora had helped Fiona with her work before, but she had never taken as long as Mrs. Mendes did when helping Summer.

Dora was already full of anger.

Now, seeing Summer still standing there instead of working, she could no longer hold it in.

Summer shook with anger. “What kind of stupid rule is this? It changes every day p>

Before, they had not been allowed to help one another, which was already infuriating enough.

Now everyone had to finish before anyone could eat…

Dora said, “Who told you that you’re not as capable as Stella? She controls the entire Wright family now. If you had the ability to control this house, you could change the rules however you liked too p>

Old Mrs. Wright had just scolded Dora for being useless, so now Dora took all that anger out on Summer.

Summer was so furious she nearly lost her mind.

“What do you mean I’m not capable? If you’re so capable, why don’t you take the Wright family back and make the rules yourself p>

She was not going to swallow it anymore either.

Now that they had completely turned on each other, why should anyone keep giving in?

They were all full of resentment. No one wanted to endure anyone else’s anger anymore.

Dora’s face turned livid. “Fine. I’m useless. That’s why I follow her rules. Happy p>

Summer stared at Dora’s expression and felt as if her chest was about to explode.

“I’m still the mother of your grandson. How can you treat me like this p>

She was soaked from head to toe, and the cold was unbearable. She wanted to go back inside and change.

But after what had happened before, she knew it was impossible. Before her work was done, they would never let

her in.

Dora sneered. “Whether he’s even my grandson is still up for debate p>

Compared to Evan, Dora was far more furious about Summer getting into Frank’s car.

Evan still wanted evidence.

But Dora had already decided that the child was not part of the Wright family.
