"If you want to live here, you'll follow my rules. Otherwise, get out now!"
Rowan hurried over, trying to calm me down.
Lauren was stunned. She hadn't expected me to explode like that.
It was my house, bought with my money, and the property deed was in my name.
From the renovations to the appliances, everything here was paid for by me.
Her family had scraped together just enough to help Parker buy a small, bare apartment, but not a cent had gone into mine.
Rowan tried pulling me back. "I'll make her apologize. She's from the countryside and isn't used to life in the city."
Being a country girl myself, I couldn't stand hearing that.
My mother had lived her whole life in the countryside but never acted as insane as Lauren.
"Enough of this nonsense. There's no point discussing if she can stay or not. She's not staying. So, get out now!"
I was furious, remembering how in the previous life, my son had died tragically.
It was just because I had been too lenient with her. It was my courtesy that had allowed her to become so emboldened that she eventually kicked me out of my home.
Suddenly, Lauren snatched the vest from me, glaring. "Fine, I'll leave! But you'll regret it!"
