Chapter 414 Our Life Is Better Than
Yours
When Evelyn’s aunt heard that, the smile on her face disappeared, and she spread out her hands as if she had been put in a difficult position. “Lucy, what are you talking about? I didn’t make things difficult for her. Your daughter hasn’t had a smooth year, so there’s no need to take your
frustration out on me and my son!”
“You know very well who is the one venting frustrations on others,” Lucy couldn’t contain her anger and muttered under her breath, “You just can’t stand seeing others doing better than yourself!”
“You!” Evelyn’s aunt was speechless by Lucy’s words, and her
face turned blue and red.
There was something wrong with the atmosphere here, and Evelyn’s grandparents also noticed it. They looked over with dissatisfaction and said, “What’s wrong? Why are you quarreling?”
“I didn’t say anything just now. Lucy insisted that I was mocking Evelyn. Evelyn was indeed not doing well this year. I
just told the truth. She was so serious…”
“Are you kidding?” is an honest person and couldn’t tell lies. “You kept mentioning her divorce. What else could it be if not causing distress to her?”
“I just told the truth. Besides, I didn’t have any ill intentions!” Evelyn’s aunt glanced at Evelyn’s grandparents out of the corner of her eye and deliberately provoked, “Are you feeling uncomfortable seeing Samuel coming back with a girlfriend? I know Evelyn used to be in the spotlight in the family, but why can’t you stand seeing others doing well?”
“When did I say that?” When Lucy heard that, she immediately became angry. “You’re talking nonsense!”
However, Evelyn’s aunt didn’t respond directly but continued to bring up Samuel, saying, “We’re all one family. It would be so much better if we could live harmoniously. Samuel finally
came back, and you’re really…”
Speaking of this, she paused slightly as if she was speechless.
Lucy didn’t expect that giving a gift could lead to so many complications. Listening to Evelyn’s aunt saying hurtful things, she couldn’t help but feel her eyes welling up with tears.
Evelyn’s grandparents were clearly biased toward Samuel, and their words were protective. “Lucy, don’t be too angry. It’s New Year’s Eve. The family should get along peacefully!”
trouble just now.
Evelyn initially didn’t want to get involved in the matter between the elders, but she couldn’t hold back any longer. She got up from her seat and walked over to her aunt, picking up the box of top-grade supplements. “Originally, I wanted to give this to you, but forget it since you don’t appreciate it. Grandpa was right. Family should get along harmoniously. Auntie, we never intended to compare ourselves with you. I’m genuinely happy for Samuel’s happiness. As an elder, my mom wouldn’t think too much, either. You can rest assured. As for
me-”
Evelyn smiled at her aunt, her smile polite yet cold. “I don’t need your concern, Auntie. Even though I’m divorced, I can afford these ten thousand dollars worth of supplements.””
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a moment of complete silence in this private room. Evelyn knew that, to some extent, they had all learned about her situation from the news. When she married Jerry in the past, it wasn’t for money. The so-called “illustrious” was only in their eyes, not something she ever felt.
After her divorce, she was undoubtedly going to be talked about behind her back. She had never been a person who sought attention, but at this moment, she couldn’t help but
want to assert herself.
