When Love Turns into Hatred

Chapter 17 Double Standard（1）

Tameka paused in shock.

Judson walked down with a gloomy face. There were bruises around his eyes and chin. His mouth was a bit swollen too.

He was no better than Darrin, who had an ice bag on his face.

Tameka was angrier.

She frowned. "Look at you! It's stupid to fight. You even lost! Shame on you! Why did he keep you alive?"

Darrin was speechless.

He didn't know what Tameka was talking about.

Judson walked to her but looked at Darrin. "Get lost."

Darrin's face turned cold.

The atmosphere became intense in the living room.

Tameka suddenly felt relieved, which eased the tension.

"Good." She patted her chest and looked at Rose with a smile as Rose walked downstairs slowly. "Rose is safe and sound. Good..."

Seeing Lillian's face, Tameka was startled. She thought Rose got beaten up too.

But Rose looked calm and neat. Tameka knew that she was fine.

Lillian was annoyed at once.

"Mrs. Roach." She cried with red eyes. Her cheek was swollen. "You said it was wrong to fight and you would ask her to make an apology..."

"I mean Judson and Darrin." Tameka was gentle. "You are just girls in a small conflict. It was not a fight.

"And you could hit back!" Before Lillian defended herself, Tameka said.

"You lost because you were too weak. Lillian, you know what, sometimes, you need to be tough. You can get nothing if you stay weak. It's not a time for weak women. Understand?"

Lillian was speechless.

She didn't know which side Tameka had taken.

Last time, Tameka praised Lillian as a gentle and elegant woman and complained that girls were crazy nowadays.

That was a double standard!

"Tameka."

Rose walked over, and Tameka took her hand with a smile. "Rose, I got the news and came over. I'm relieved to see you here."

Rose looked at her familiar and kind face.

It was hard, but she had to tell Tameka about her decision.

"Tameka, I came to return things to Judson. I will leave now."

Rose moved here at the age of 10. Tameka treated her as her daughter.

Rose knew that the best way to pay Tameka back was to accept all her kindness.

But Rose had no choice but to disappoint her.

"I...broke up with Judson."

She broke up with Judson.

She didn't say that it was an option from Judson.

It was her last dignity as well as her last kindness to Judson.

In the living room, it was very quiet.

People's faces changed.

Lillian's eyes lit up. She looked down, pondering.

Tameka was shocked.

But Judson's face turned dark.

What did he say to Rose just now?

He asked her to watch her mouth.

But Rose caused trouble at once.

How could she enjoy being under the spotlight so much?

Tameka was so nice to her, but she used Tameka and made Tameka anxious.
