Cordelia stood where she was, frozen. She was shaking.
She only spat out two words after a long time. “No way.”
Yelena’s eyes dimmed.
Cordelia’s eyes were sharp as she stared at her. “This is our house. It was dad who gave it to my mom! We’ve been living here for years. This is our home!”
“How dare you bring that up?” An evil smile flashed through Yelena’s face. She yelled in her shrill voice. “Who is your shameless mother even? Do you think she’s worthy of my dad giving her a house?
“He only allowed you to stay here temporarily out of pity! At the very least, your mother served my dad. A b*tch like you were born, but who is he even?”
Yelena criticized mercilessly while pointing at Carter. “What you think that a b*stard that came out of nowhere deserves to live in the Jenners’ house!?”
Carter had a high ego. He was always embarrassed by the odd family relationship.
Yelena was poking his weak point, exploding the emotions that he had been holding back.
“What nonsense are you talking about!?”
He glared at her in rage. He clenched his fists, and his veins were bulging on his arms. He lifted his hand in an attempt to hit her.
Worried that he would be impulsive, Cordelia got up instantly to stop him.
Yelena was shocked before she took a few steps back. Realizing that it was impossible for Cordelia and Carter to hit her, she criticized them even more.
“Tell me, what did I say that’s not true? Your whole family is trash! All of you are despicable!”
“Enough, Yelena!”
“Yes, I said it. What are you going to do about it?” Yelena went forward to shove Cordelia. “Scram with your b*stard brother, b*tch!”
Cordelia blocked Yelena while protecting Carter.
However, Yelena was brutal. She scratched Cordelia’s arm hard a few times, showing no mercy. There were trails of blood on the latter’s fair skin.
She stepped back in pain. Reckless, she missed the steps and fell from the stairs!
At the critical moment, a force wrapped around her from behind. Stunned, she landed steadily in a firm embrace.
“Are you all right?” Marcus looked at her with concern.
The corner of Cordelia’s lips twitched. Grievance, rage with a little panic, and all kinds of emotions surged in her eyes. She bit her lip lightly and did not know what to say. She held onto his neck like he was her savior and screamed while shaking. “Hubby…”
Marcus patted her shoulder and chuckled. His expression instantly changed. He glanced through everyone present coldly.
“What happened?”
It was Yelena’s first time seeing him.
She dodged a bullet. She had almost married this thug!
However, she was taking a good look at him. This man was tall and handsome. He was filled with powerful charisma and masculinity. He was dignified, like an ancient king.
