“Grandma, you may not know this, but he was the one who abducted me first and demanded ransom money from Dexter. This matter has already
Before Angela could finish, Natalie slammed her palm on the coffee table with a loud bang, “I already know everything about that! He merely acted out of resentiment and anger. If he had lived in the Bamford household all along and hadn’t been wronged, would he have done such a thing?
“Besides, as his sister–in–law, you should act like an elder sister and be more forgiving, You should also persuade your mother–in–law to accept him instead of fanning the flames and encouraging their divorce!”
Angela was speechless.
Natalie used to be in poor health and didn’t involve herself much in family matters, but she was never known to be this unreasonable,
Now that she was fine, had she become muddleheaded?
“He almost killed me, and you’re asking me to forgive him? Are you serious?” Angela couldn’t contain her anger any longer, her tone growing cold.
“Shut your mouth!” Natalie snapped coldly. “I just haven’t had the time to deal with your these past few years.

The large living room’s atmosphere grew heavy as if blanketed in ice and snow.
Natalie’s face turned a furious shade of purple as she glared at Dexter. “You… You insolent child! He’s your brother!”
“My brother?” Dexter let out a cold laugh, towering over Natalie with an icy demeanor. “He nearly killed my wife and subjected my mother to your blatant humiliation. Do you think I should just tolerate that?”
