Cupid's Arrow hit me hard!

"What isn't yours will never belong to you. Your wealthy life of more than two decades has been stolen time. You'll become poor and live a life worse than animals from now on. Get lost and go back to your countryside.

"How dare you say Carol's a country bumpkin. You're the true country bumpkin."

Emma, Ava, and Ellie's resentment toward Celine was off the charts.

They became mean to her now that Celine's life had become miserable.

Celine sat still. "I won't leave. I'm not going. I want to wait for Mom to return and explain everything to her. I didn't intend to do that. I was set up. I'll get my revenge on the person who did this to me.”

She glared at her sisters-in-law and asked, "Were you guys behind it?"

Emma slapped Celine across the face hard.

"A fake daughter like you isn't worth me dirtying my hands over. How dare you blame others when you're the one depraved and shameless. Let me tell you this, bitch. No matter how you defend yourself, what happened last night has already been etched into Mom's memory. She'll never forget it. You're done for."

Ellie turned and walked into the villa.

She came back not long after with a pail of cold water.

Before anyone could react, she aimed the pail of water at Celine.

Celine's natural reaction was to jump away.

The weather was cold. After being splashed with cold water, she started shivering. Her clothes were wet, and those on the floor had also gotten wet.

"Get another pail to wet her clothes, Ellie. Make her run out of dry clothes and freeze to death. Let's see if she insists on staying here by then."

Emma told Ellie to bring another pail of water.

"I'll go with her."

Ava went inside too.

Soon, Ava and Ellie were carrying a pail of cold water each.

Celine quickly picked up a few pieces of clothing that were still dry and ran off. While running, she scolded, "Just you wait. I won't let this slide.

"No wonder my brothers don't love you evil women. Do you think my brothers would've wanted you if you weren't from prominent families?"

Upon the mention of their husbands' affairs, the three ladies became furious again. Aside from wetting all of Celine's clothes on the floor, they also chased her with the pails of water. Once they caught up to her, they held her in place and beat her up.

Celine howled in pain.

Although she had learned basic martial arts before, she was at a disadvantage when faced with three opponents at a time.

At that moment, she utterly regretted not training properly.

"What are you all doing?" Adrian shouted.

The beating stopped.

Emma adjusted her clothes. She did not forget to get in one last kick.

She said to her husband, "Adrian, Celine was scolding all of us, including Dad and Mom. Her words were so harsh that we couldn't tolerate it anymore. We just taught her a lesson."

Adrian walked over while glaring at them. "You all are acting like ill-tempered, violent women despite being a missus of the Fisher family. Shouldn't you all head back now? What if someone sees this? Do you know no shame? Do you think our family doesn't have enough problems already?"

The residents around them all belonged to the Fisher family.

As a member of the main family, Adrian was embarrassed for letting others watch them make a fool of themselves every day.

The three ladies returned to the villa.

Adrian went to Celine and bent over to help her up.

"Adrian."
