Once a Doormat Now Untouchable (Caleb and Sydney) novel Chapter 661

Albus sat in stunned silence for a long time. When he said nothing, the anger on his face slowly faded.

Only when the outburst she expected never came did Diana soften her tone. "Grandpa, Vee isn't just my mother's daughter, or our sister. She's your granddaughter too."

Albus shot her a look. "Do you really need to remind me of that?"

He could not refute her argument. That was obvious. His pride took a hit, and after a brief pause, he waved a hand and forced the matter closed. "Alright, alright. I've got people here to look after me. You two should go do whatever you need to do."

Diana saw that he had relented, so she let it rest. "Raymond can go. I'll stay and take you home this afternoon."

It was nothing serious. The doctor had already made rounds that morning, given him a thorough check, and cleared him for discharge later that day.

Standing in front of Albus, Raymond lifted a thumb toward Diana without the slightest restraint. "These days, you're the only one he listens to."

"You little brat!" That only made Albus look even worse. He grabbed a pillow and hurled it at him.

Raymond reacted quickly. He dodged and stepped back in the same motion, waving as he headed out. "Don't get mad. I'm leaving already."

Then he turned to Diana. "Call me if anything comes up."

Diana did not answer. She only flicked a hand to send him off.

The VIP floor was quiet.

After leaving the room, Raymond shoved his phone into his pocket and strode toward the elevator.

Just as he reached the corner, a fierce argument erupted from a room behind him.

"Fine! Then your mother and I were just unlucky to raise an ungrateful little wretch like you! But don't think you can dodge your responsibilities. Providing for your parents is your duty!"

"Let go." Tiffany shook Tyler off in fury.

She looked up and saw that Mabel and Stanley both wore the same approving expressions.

The sight almost made her laugh. She knew she had been right not to let Sydney come. Her family had no shame.

No matter how close Sydney was to her, Tiffany never wanted her to have any contact with them. She even feared that one day, Sydney might look at her and remember that she carried the same ugly blood.

When Tiffany turned and headed for the door, Mabel did not expect her to be so hard-hearted. She rushed forward and grabbed her, but when their eyes met, her scolding died in her throat.

Stanley could not stand Mabel's cowardice. He pointed at Tiffany and started cursing again, spit flying. "You've been working all these years. Don't tell me you don't even have 400,000! Look at you, dressed all polished and pretty, and now you want to be stingy with your own family?

"I'm telling you right now, pay at least 200,000 for your brother today. Otherwise, don't even think about walking out of this room!"
