Hearing these words, Julian couldn't help but frown.
It was an indescribable feeling.
He glanced at the two women...
When Clara heard the word 'family,' she was so angry she almost laughed.
Hah.
When they needed something from her, they were 'family.' When they were hitting her, she was a slut, a lowly wretch.
Unbelievable.
Clara quietly watched the mother-daughter duo put on their act, then spoke coldly.
"You bullied me for no reason, and now you want me to forgive you with just a few words? Why should I?"
"How about this? I'll slap you both a few times, publicly curse you out, subject you to utter humiliation... and then say 'I'm sorry.' Will you forgive me?"
Seraphina choked.
Sylvia was also rendered speechless, her face turning alternating shades of green and pale white.
When did Clara become so tough?! In the past, she would always bow her head the moment Julian stepped in...
Were they really going to end up in jail?
If the Lowell family found out, they would be completely finished.
Just the thought of it made Sylvia shudder...
Seraphina clearly realized this too. Panicking, she bit her lip and looked at the man.
"Julian..."
Julian paused.
A few seconds later, he looked at Clara. His throat went dry before he finally spoke.
"Clara..."
He was pleading for them.
He knew full well she had been wronged, yet he still sided with them.
Clara blinked slowly, almost unable to believe her ears.
Were these the words of a human being?
What kind of cheap, disposable object was she in his eyes?
Before she got together with him, she had lived with her sister. No matter how tough life was, she had never suffered such humiliation or been forced to swallow such grievances.
But after getting together with him, she gave so much, yet in the end, she couldn't earn his protection even once...
Clara's eyes turned red with fury.
She looked at the man she had deeply loved for three years, and suddenly, she smiled.
