I detached myself from the painful memories, only to discover that it was she who had reduced my mother, who was the rightful wife, to the status of a mistress.
So, I approached her, kindly holding Rhianna's hand, and also took the opportunity to hold her arm.
Rhianna's sharp nails pierced my skin, yet I barely felt it, and I said, "Thank you for being so good to me. I will definitely be filial to you."
I emphasized the word "filial".
Before Silas could appreciate the peace between us, he saw me suddenly scream and break free from Rhianna's restraint.
He looked displeased and was about to scold me, but stopped abruptly when his eyes met the two long blood marks on my arm.
I took two steps back in fear, "Dad, it seems that Rhianna and Natalee don't like me. Since that's the case, I'll leave. Consider that money as breaking the bond we had."
Silas hurriedly tried to persuade me to stay, but I struggled to leave no matter what he said.
Finally, Silas was furious, and he slapped Rhianna's face.
With such force, Rhianna was slapped to the ground, and her forehead hit the corner of the table heavily, causing a burst of blood.
