Jade spat at Winter right then, "Frank isn't like that?! What, would I use my daughter to slander scum like him?!"
At the same time, Carol scrambled to shield Winter while continuing to smile at the angry mob. "Please, I'm sure there's a misunderstanding here—Mr. Lawrence isn't like that. We'll call him right now, and I'm sure he can clear up this misunderstanding."
"You'd better hurry, or I'm cutting this bitch's face!" Jade growled through her teeth as she whipped out a switchblade, brandishing it in front of Carol and her daughter.
"O-Of course." Carol wiped the blood off her lips and quickly urged Winter, "Go on, call Mr. Lawrence right now."
"Mom."
"Just hurry. Don't you trust him?" Carol asked resolutely, watching the angry mob closely.

"Tut, tut." Cindy clicked her tongue as she looked around. "Vicky Turnbull is really sparing no expense

"See for yourself!" Cindy snapped and threw the lunchbox in front of Carol.
When Gina saw the lunchbox labels, she was immediately furious.
Leaping up and grabbing Carol by the collar, she spat, "Where did you get the lunchbox?!"
"What...?" Carol was stunned—how would she know?
She turned to Winter, who was still trying to call Frank.
Winter paused, staring at the lunchbox before frowning. "Helen brought it. She always comes to make breakfast for me and Frank."
"You're lying!" Gina was even more furious at that and slapped Winter viciously again. "My daughter has already divorced him! She'd never cook for him—he has no right!"
