One man laughed and chimed in, glancing around before playfully pushing Laura in front of Darren. "Laura, don't worry. It's all just for fun. Darren is still yours. Who would dare to compete with you? After all, no one's courage is as big as yours. Your mom worked so hard to marry into this family and if you marry him, wouldn't that be incest..."
Before he could finish, Laura, flustered and panicked, quickly interrupted. "No, I don't have a blood relationship with him. I... I and he..."
"Ah!" Melanie let out a loud gasp.
Her movement just now caused the glass on the table to fall and smash onto the floor.
Since the floor was tiled, the fragile glass shattered instantly and a shard sliced across the ankle of the closest person, Laura.
She felt a sharp pain in her ankle and looked down to see bright red blood flowing out, staining her slippers, which she had failed to change in her rush.
At that moment, she felt like a joke, with nothing but a buzzing sound ringing in her ears.
"I'm sorry, Laura, are you okay? I was just trying to get up and make room for you, but I didn't expect my movement to knock over the glass."
Darren pulled Melanie's hand back and spoke in a low voice.
