Marie's situation was a bit like Caroline's in the past.
They both have a selfish, self-serving mother who will do anything to get what she wants.
Rebecca did even more than Maisy, but when it really came time for Rebecca to be taken away, Caroline was also the one who suffered the most.
All human hearts are made of flesh, and no matter how much their birth mothers hurt them, they don't want to see them die.
What's more, Maisy did all this for the good of Marie.
Leo eventually let Maisy go.
He hoped that Maisy would henceforth be reformed and that there would be no more pointless struggles.
"Mum, promise sister and brother-in-law that you will never be hostile to them again, that we, as a family, will stop fighting each other internally, okay?"
Marie hugged Maisy tightly and said with tears streaming down her face.
Maisy's face still wore the fear, but deep in her eyes, there was still a resentment pending.
This resentment arose from a gradual deterioration due to previous excessive fears.
"I can promise, but your sister must promise that she will not compete with you for family's property in the future, as well as the family headship!"
Maisy's words were addressed to Marie, but her gaze, still deadly, glared at Lydia with a deep hatred in her eyes.
And fear.
Lydia was so good and so beautiful, like a thousand virtues in one.
Even the best and most beautiful woman will be dwarfed by her.
This is all inherited from the first beauty of Valenham twenty years ago, Aurora.
And she was just a mistress who was favoured by Lady Luck and could never be compared to a Aurora and Lydia.
You don't need a reason to hate someone.
You are prettier and better than her, and you will be the object of resentment.
Maisy is too afraid of Aurora and, therefore, follows suit in fear of her daughter, Lydia.
She wanted Lydia's word!
"No way!"
Without waiting for Lydia to speak, a majestic voice came from the scene.
Aurora approached with Elena, and a host of other Byrne clansmen.
The crowd immediately made way.
At this moment, Aurora's face was gloomy to the extreme, especially when he looked at Maisy, her eyes were filled with a deep killing intent.
Twenty years ago, when her husband was stolen away, she did not even feel the desire to kill Maisy, but now, Aurora wanted to kill her.
"My son-in-law is not yet dead, and you are in a hurry to give him a funeral, and you are even looking for someone to plot against my daughter. Maisy, do you really think that with Karl protecting you, I won't dare to touch you?"
Aurora said in a cold voice, carrying an eerie murderous aura.
She had heard all about it and her first reaction after hearing about it was to get rid of Maisy!
Seeing Aurora coming, Maisy was scared out of her wits.
Although Marie was also scared, she continued to stop Aurora.
"I know what my mother did was wrong, but my sister and brother-in-law have already forgiven us, so please, forgive my mother too!"
Aurora's eyes softened: "Good girl, it's none of your business."
At the same time, she looked at Leo and Lydia, and seeing that both of them were shaking their heads, she stopped pursuing the matter.
But there was one thing she had to fight for.
"It's impossible to get my daughter to quit the Henderson family and not compete for any property!"
"In life, you can't give in, that's the bottom line."
Aurora's attitude was clear, no concessions were possible.
The two women looked dead on, one majestic, the other angry and frightened.
Marie couldn't help but take a step back and couldn't help but hide behind Lydia.
