“Hunter, she sassed me first.” Snowy bit her lips and explained, “She ran riot in our house. Renee punished her on behalf of me.”
“That's not the truth.” Wendy burst into tears.
“Grandma told me that the driver was waiting for me. As I was to leave, I happened to meet them. After finding out that I stayed with grandma here for a few days, they got so angry that they beat me up.”
As Hunter heard ‘grandma’, his face darkened.
Wendy had been observing his expression. Noticing the change in his looks, she explained.
“I'm sorry, Hunter. The matriarch asked me to call her grandma. I’m kind of getting used to it.”
She bit her lips, looking pitiful. “I won't do address her that way in the future.”
“Hunter, this bitch is acting!”
To Snowy’'s surprise, Wendy was so good at acting.
Wendy had been arrogant with them before Hunter arrived.
Wendy, an outsider, felt free to stay with grandma like a family member, which pissed Snowy off.
In front of Hunter, Wendy pretended to be a wronged victim!
Snowy got so furious that she wanted to kick her. “Hunter, she was very arrogant just now!”
“I’m just an outsider from an average family. How can I be arrogant in front of you?”
Wendy was staring at Hunter, rendered pitiful by her words and humble manner.
“Perhaps Snowy was angry about me addressing the matriarch as grandmother. I'm sorry. I won't do that again. Hunter, please forgive me.”
After flicking her an indifferent glance, Hunter turned to look at Snowy.
Hunter's looks sent shivers down Snowy’s spine. She was in panic.
“Hunter, I... I was just so pissed off. The matriarch isn’t her grandma. How could Wendy address her in this way?”
“Do you often beat people like this?” Hunter suddenly asked.
Snowy lowered her voice and said, “No. I... I don't...”
“Last month, a maid committed suicide at home. Does that have anything to do with you?”
“Hunter, that maid committed suicide for no reason. It’s none of my business.”
After taking a step back, Snowy tried to stand up straight. “Hunter, didn't Dad tell you that it had nothing to do with me.”
“Dad is indulgent. He allows you to do anything you want. You even don't repent for what you have done.”
As Hunter waved, two bodyguards showed up, straightly walking towards Snowy.
“Bring her back and lock her in her room for a week. No one is allowed to free her.”
“Yes!”
“Hunter, are you going to punish me because of this woman?”
Snowy had never expected that Hunter would defend Wendy.
Although Hunter and she were not close, they were half-blooded. She was Hunter's biological sister!
“Hunter, are you out of your mind? Why do you and grandma both like her?”
“Why do you treat these two women from the Gale family so well? You both defend them! Hunter, I'm your sister. Hunter ...”
“Take her away!” Now that Snowy didn't leave on her own, Hunter asked others to frogmarch her back.
“Hunter ...”
Snowy was held by two bodyguards. She was Snowy, of noble birth. But neither of the bodyguards had pity for her.
They dragged Snowy back, intending to lock her up so that she could ponder about her misdeed.
Renee was in panic. Looking at Snowy being taken away, she was too frightened to say anything.
Snowy was Hunter's biological sister, but she ... she was just his cousin.
“Apologize!”
As expected, it was her turn to be punished after Snowy.
No sooner had Hunter spoken anything than Renee dropped to the ground with a thud.
“I... Hunter, I...”
“Apologize. Slap yourself across the face as many times as you kicked her.”
