I dodged Yvette’s hand quickly, moved to the back of the table, and kicked a stool toward her. She tripped over it and fell to the floor embarrassedly. Shortly afterward, Scarlett came back to her senses. She let out a wail and wanted to throw a punch at me.
“B*tch, how dare you hit me? Even your dad never hit me!”
I dogged her by running around the counters and grabbed the chance to slap her again. With that, I said coldly, “Yes, I hit both of you. One of you is a homewrecker who drove Amelia away, while the other is a stepdaughter who is only a month younger than me. As the daughter of my dad’s legal wife, I have the right to punish you two for ruining my family.”
I kept the words in my heart for many years and never told anyone. I could still vividly remember the day when Scarlett brought Yvette to our mansion unashamedly. At that moment, I was despondent, for their presence cruelly destroyed my life and happiness.
“B*llshit, your mom was the homewrecker instead. Also, our dad drove her away because she made a mistake. What did it have to do with us?” Once Scarlett finished, she randomly grabbed a bottle on the counter and flung it at me.
I could hardly stand it whenever someone defamed. Although the bottle was near my face, I was unperturbed and wanted to slap Scarlett again. The next moment, someone gripped my wrist forcefully, so much so that I almost lost my balance and fell to the floor.
“Yvonne, what are you doing?” It was Lyle’s voice. He bellowed at me right away without even asking me what transpired.
I turned around and saw Crystal standing behind him. This time, she only stood still gracefully and didn’t provoke me.
“Lyle, you came at the right time. Can you stop Yvonne from making trouble? She stole some goods here and was caught. When we offered to help her, she declined and even hit my mom.”
Initially, Yvette had lifted a beer bottle and was about to smash it on my head. At this moment, her expression changed swiftly. She put down the bottle gently, covered her face, and held Scarlett’s shoulder helplessly.
