My eyes shifted to Adeline as I coldly said, "Adeline, this time you’re claiming you ‘lost your balance’ again? You really do change your excuses quickly."
This time, I looked at them coldly. I was no longer the obedient girl they used to know.
I coldly warned them, "Watch your precious daughter carefully. If she dares to lay a hand on me again, I won’t hold back. If I’m not happy, I won’t let her be happy either."
After that, I turned and walked up the stairs. I didn’t even look back at their shocked and furious faces.
This house. These people. They were no longer worth a single moment of my time.
I had already explained everything, getting ready to leave. Just as I finished packing, the door slammed open. Adeline walked in parrogantly in high heels. She looked at me with eyes full of defiance.
She strode up to me and spoke arrogantly, "Lilian, do you really think you're so special just because you're our parents' biological daughter? They love me now!"
"I've known all along. You're going to marry that lunatic for me. Isn't the bride price just one billion? After I marry Brian, there will be far more money. Plenty more."
