Chapter 22 He Protected Her
Charles frowned, saying, “Ms. Moore, all the rooms in this house are the same size. The room you want to stay in belongs to Mrs. Young. Her belongings are already there. You’re making this difficult
for us.”
“Mrs. Young, huh? You say her name as if you’re so familiar with her” Moore scoffed. “I want to stay in that room. If you don’t agree to my request, I’ll have Madam Young come over to talk to you.”
With that, she made a move to leave.
Charles, uncertain of what to do, instinctively blocked her. Seeing this, Moore became even more arrogant. “So? Are you stopping me from leaving the room?”
Charles could not make the decision but he did not want to offend her either. He looked visibly
troubled.
I leaned against the wooden door with arms folded and spoke softly, “Let her have it.”
Hearing my voice, both turned to look at me. Charles seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Moore was blatantly arrogant. She could not be bothered to put on an act with me when
Idris was not around, and said, “I’m certainly settled down in the Youngs‘ residence. Yvette, what does it matter if you’re pregnant? Because of your dirty past, Madam Young is disgusted by you and

much, it’s yours. However, everyone knows Yvette Scott is the Youngs‘ true daughter–in–law. As for you, you’re just a child–bearing machine kept in the Youngs‘ inner circle. Do you know what women like you were called in ancient times?”
I leaned in closer, smiling faintly. “You’re not even good enough to be a concubine.”
“You…” Moore was quick–tempered and got even angrier when she could not win with words. She merely stomped her feet and glared at me.
She looked more and more like a clown to me.
Apparently angered, she suddenly pushed me when I least expected it, saying sullenly, “Yvette, go to
hell!”
The steps outside the house were not high, but falling down them would still hurt.
Luckily, I instinctively grabbed the door frame to steady myself.
For a moment, my suppressed anger flared up, fueled by her actions. I narrowed my eyes, grabbed her, and pushed her to the edge of the steps, shouting, “Moore Scott, don’t push your luck!”
She was wearing seven–centimeter heels, clearly understanding that if I pushed her, the child in her
