Finished
Melanie could never have imagined that the tactics which had always worked wonders in front of her family, would prove to be ineffective in front of the few people present..
Xavier and Charlie were utterly indifferent to whether she felt wronged or not.
And then there was Herbert, who wore a smirk of anticipation, as though he was watching a play unfold.
Even Phyllis remained largely unperturbed.
She was well aware that Aurelia would certainly not forgive her, and she didn’t care either.
“I–I don’t have any ulterior motives, I just felt really sorry for Aurelia. I was too naive before.” Melanie immediately defended herself.
Aurelia
gave Melanie a casual glance.
“My sister might even be younger than you. What’s with the random ‘sister‘ title? You sure are in a hurry to grow up. You and my sister are a generation apart if you look closely,” Herbert sneered.
“You!” Melanie couldn’t contain her anger at the sarcasm. “Herbert, I am your biological sister!”
“Just look at that, showing your true colors now,” Herbert sneered.
Xavier stood up. “Melanie, your sudden change of attitude and appearance at our house surely indicates ulterior motives. I can assure you that whatever you’re planning will not succeed. If you truly regretted your actions, you wouldn’t be behaving this way. You’re not welcome here right now. If you have anything else to say, come back another time.”
Melanie bit her lip, turning to look at Phyllis. “Mom, I… only you can believe in me now. I’ve really changed.”
Phyllis felt a bit of reluctance, but…
“Some things, once they’ve happened, can’t just be resolved with a simple apology, Mel. You apologized to Auri in front of us today, but isn’t that just to force her to forgive you? How can she possibly forgive you easily after what you’ve done to her? Your brother is right, there’s a long road ahead. Whether you’ve truly changed or not, only time will tell. For now, it’s best if you leave.”
Upon hearing Phyllis‘ words, Melanie almost choked. What a mother she had!
Which mother wouldn’t help her own child but assist others instead?
Moreover, a pauper at that!
who’s
With a rush of emotion, she blurted out, “Fine, I must be blind. I thought we can settle our differences, but instead, you’ve placed all the blame on me! I shouldn’t have come here, you’ll regret this! And Aurelia, the boyfriend you’re with, he’s just an average Joe, isn’t it you supporting him? That’s not surprising! What kind of wealthy family could you possibly marry into? I’m going to marry into a wealthy family in the future, you better hope you never have to ask me for anything!”
Chapter 159 Revealing True Intentions
Witnessing Melanie reveal her true colors, Xavier raised his hand and slapped her across the face.
“Your mind is filled with wicked thoughts, and you assume everyone else to be just as vile, Melanie. Even if we are biological siblings, in reality, you’re not worthy to be called my sister. Get out!” Xavier rebuked in anger.
In their presence, Melanie could openly slander Aurelia. He couldn’t imagine just how the Leedon family would belittle and insult Aurelia at their residence.
Furthermore, if Matthew was regarded as someone’s kept man, then what were the others?
Stunned by the slap, Melanie covered her face and exclaimed, “You!”
“I guess your sudden return, along with this drastic change in attitude, is probably because you want to manipulate these people here just like you did with the Leedon family, right?” Aurelia revealed Melanie’s intentions with a half–smile.
Melanie’s eyes sparkled, evading Aurelia’s gaze. “I’m not sure what you’re talking about.”
These paupers weren’t worth her wasting time on.
“Xavier, I’ll never forget the slap you gave me today. Just make sure you never regret this! You
all…“.
Melanie steadily retreated, eventually finding herself at the door.
Her hand rested on the door handle.
She looked at them with disdain and arrogance. “You’re just fit to live in this slum of Jacaster, enduring a hard life. No matter how hard you strive, you’ll always be at the bottom rung of the ladder. I’m not like you! You want me to come back, but what can you offer me? Aurelia, you’reNôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
right, I did intend to keep them away from you, to ensure you couldn’t return here or to the Leedon family. Your very presence constantly reminded me that I was nothing more than the Leedon family’s adopted daughter. All of this is your fault!” she admitted.
Phyllis was taken aback. “Mel, you…”
“What ‘me‘? You think by wearing a few knock–off brands today, you’ve suddenly become a lady? You’re nothing more than a country bumpkin. You’re not even fit to be my mother. If you really were my mother, you’d kick Aurelia out right now.” Melanie pointed at Aurelia, her chin raised high in defiance as she threatened Phyllis.
“What a load of cr*p! Get out! You’re just like the rest of the Leedon family, your head’s filled with nonsense!” Charlie stood up, walking toward Melanie.
Aurelia spoke up at just the right moment. “Charlie.”
Charlie halted and looked back at Aurelia.
Aurelia shook her head at him.
Upon seeing Charlie so receptive to Aurelia’s words, Melanie gritted her teeth in frustration. “Aurelia, you won’t have the last laugh!”
“This one’s for you,” Aurelia said, completely disregarding Melanie.
She already had quite a few important materials of Melanie in her hands.
