Alessia turned around to see Clara clapping sarcastically and speaking in a tone dripping with sarcasm.
"Ah, what a deep sister-in-law relationship! Oh, wait, you have been abandoned already, just a discarded woman. The title of sister-in-law really doesn't suit you anymore."
Alessia's eyes turned cold. She hated trouble, and Clara was like a nuisance fly. If the fly didn't fly around her, she wouldn't bother to pay attention. But if it insisted on sticking to her, she couldn't stand it.
It just so happened that Grandma wasn't around, so Alessia didn't have to consider Grandma's feelings.
Alessia glanced at Clara lightly and asked, "Miss Clara Carter, if I'm a discarded woman, then what does that make you?"
"What do you mean?" Clara's expression changed immediately upon hearing this, as if
her sore spot had been touched.
Compared to Clara's sharp words
Do you know what she's thinking? What's on her mind?Alessia felt that Grandma Carter simply didn't know. Just as she was about to explain, she saw Grandma Carter change the subject, "I heard Ava isn't your mother!""Yeah." Alessia nodded. "It's just a misunderstanding between Ava and me."She didn't want to mention Ava's schemes in front of her grandmother, nor did she want her grandmother to worry about her."Good. With Ava's character, she indeed doesn't deserve to be your mother." As soon as Grandma Carter heard this, without asking for any reasons, she stood on Alessia's side and began to criticize Ava.Feeling openly favored by someone, Alessia felt warmth in her heart.Then Grandma Carter took the initiative, "If you want to find relatives, Grandma can help you."Alessia refused, "Grandma, it's not necessary. I don't want to find r
Alessia turned back impatiently to look at Dominic. "Mr. Carter, is there anything else? Do you want to apologize to me? I won't hold a grudge."Dominic's brows furrowed in anger, temporarily ignoring Alessia's sarcastic remarks, and spoke to Tiffany first."Tiffany, I didn't clarify this matter with you in advance. It's not your fault. You can leave first. I have a few words to say to Alessia."Tiffany pursed her lips and said lightly, "The misunderstanding is cleared up, so I won't disturb you two for now. Oh, by the way, Aunt Brenda said we'll have lunch together at noon.""Okay!" Dominic's eyes showed a moment of complexity upon hearing Tiffany's words.Alessia knew that the person mentioned by Tiffany was Dominic's mother, Brenda Jenkins, A.K.A Mrs. Carter.Brenda was a special figure in the Carter family. She seemed to exist only in the mouths of the fa
Jessie was taken aback, tears streaming even more violently. She choked out, "I'm sorry!"Sorry, even though she knew that Alessia had nothing to do with Nolan's death, she couldn't help but feel uneasy whenever she saw Alessia.Sorry, despite knowing how good Alessia was, she still couldn't help but be selfish.Alessia looked at Jessie, who was crying uncontrollably, and spoke again with indifference. "You don't have to apologize. In fact, we can't even be considered ordinary friends. I won't intervene in the affairs of the Ramirez Group in the future. I'll send someone to hand over to you. When the time is right, if you want to buy back the shares, I have no objections."The acquisition of Ramirez's shares was entrusted to Hannah Das. When the time came, Hannah would handle these matters as well.After saying this, Alessia pushed away the coffee cup in front of her and got up t
Dominic glanced at the distraught Bianca and stood up. "If you don't want to, I'll talk to her. You're my sister, and no one can force you."Hearing Dominic's protective words, Bianca's heart softened, and she quickly grabbed Dominic's hand."It’s okay. Mom finally came out to have a meal with us. Don't let my mood affect hers."She knew that although her brother didn't say it, he also longed to be with their mother. It's just that their mother had completely abandoned them because of their father's affairs.She knew that besides their grandmother's issue, her brother couldn't accept her sister-in-law also because of their parents.In their family, no couple had a happy ending, so her brother didn't believe in love.She used to be the same, but not long ago, she wavered. However, yesterday evening, she regretted it again."Dom, I think yo
"Enzo Roberts!""Haha, it's me. Miss La Rosa, I told you we would meet again." Enzo hesitated for a moment, then greeted her openly.That feeling, it was as if the person who had just contradicted Alessia behind her back and instigated Riley wasn't him at all.But this time, Alessia didn't want to engage with him any further, because he had already crossed her bottom line.Riley was someone she wanted to protect, and Enzo's psychological manipulation of him to keep himself closed off was hindering his mental health.Alessia cut to the chase and asked, "Why are you here? Why are you trying to manipulate my brother?""Miss La Rosa, I have no idea what you're talking about." Enzo shrugged helplessly. "You were quite friendly to me last night, but why the change in attitude after just one night? I'm innocent."Innocent? Why did
Alessia suddenly felt terrible all over, never having encountered such shamelessness.Was Dominic really on the wrong medication today?For some reason, her heart tightened, and her gaze fixed on Christopher's face.She heard her eldest son, with a serious expression, say, "Mommy, what you did was wrong!"Just as her eldest son finished speaking, another little head popped out of the car window. The younger son said in a childish voice, "Mommy, the teacher just said that we shouldn't glare at people casually."Alessia suddenly had the urge to stuff the two children back into her belly.She took a deep breath, deciding not to argue with the father and sons anymore, and headed straight for her car spot.As Alessia was about to open the car door and step in, a hand blocked her way, pressing against the door.Her path was
Christian secretly gave Christopher a thumbs up.In fact, they had planned to matchmake their mommy and daddy a few days ago. Whenever they saw their parents arguing, they would initiate their plan.Since Daddy spent less time with them and didn't understand their daily habits like Mommy did, they would first pester Daddy and make trouble for him.Mommy was soft-hearted, so they would act pitifully in front of her, and then find a way to let Daddy see Mommy's good qualities.They didn't expect their first cooperation to be so successful. It was probably the tacit understanding between the three siblings.The more Christian thought about it, the prouder he felt. He silently decided to share this with his good friend, Grandma Evelyn, when they got back home.Fifteen minutes passed.The waiter began serving the dishes. When Ale
She took a few steps back, looking at Dominic's face, and cleverly asked, "Evelyn's identity is very special? Is it related to me?"A hint of appreciation flashed in Dominic's eyes. He hadn't expected that just one sentence would allow Alessia to guess the general situation.He calmly uttered a few words, "Evelyn Harrington is Gordon Laroux's wife."Evelyn is Gordon's wife?Alessia was stunned. She hadn't expected things to be so coincidental.If what Ava said last night was true, then Evelyn was her stepmother? But that didn't seem right, considering that she couldn't even be considered Gordon's illegitimate daughter.The relationship was indeed somewhat complicated.If she didn't want to get involved with the Laroux family, then it wouldn't be appropriate to have contact with Evelyn.Dominic's reminder indicated tha
