Chapter 110
An elegant middle–aged lads walked in.
The instant the deer was closed, her face twisted inte a ferocious expression of anger and hatred.
Long–forgotten memories flooded Larissa’s mind like a tidal wave, causing lier eyes in willen in fear.
Aheavy she landed on Larissa’s face, making a loud cracking sound.
Although the force of the slap wasn’t as strong as she remembered IL Larissa could stil lest the burning pain on her cheek.
“Are you proud of bringing shame upon your whole family? After all these years, you are still being a troublemaker and robbing
me of my peacel Can’t you leam from your sister?”
Larissa was reminded of the familiar barrage of criticism that bombarded her. There were barely any changes in the script.
Out of reflex. Larissa was about to apologize, but she managed to stop herself in time.
She was no longer the helpless young girl who had to depend on the charity of others and constantly needed to cater to their
wishes.
Now that she was an adult, she could be independent and stand up for hersel
Most importantly, she had nothing to do with these people anymore.
Larissa tried to smink, but her twitching cheek muscles and the burning pain made her wince involuntarily, resulting in a strange
grimace.
“Do you remember the last thing you said to me?” Larissa asked.
The last time they met Yvelle Xander had forced Larissa to kneel on the ground, slapping her mercilessly.
“Get lost! The farther you go, the better! Don’t appear in front of me ever again! You are no daughter of mine!”
Yvette’s cruel words were like knives that pierced Larissa’s heart. The emotional wounds that her mother inflicted on her were
but deep,
a memory that she would never forget.
Naturally, Yvette remembered that incident as well,
Sneering, she said. “if it weren’t for the big fuss you kicked up and made me the target ofridicule from your father’s relatives do
you think! would come to lind you willingly? Back then, it seemed like you had such confidence to run away from home and cut
off ties with the family. I must have overestimated you, thinking that you could start a good life on your own! You even said that
you wanted the right to choose a spouse! What a joke! Now that you have the ability to choose, what’s the result? You married a
leech and got involved with a bunch of troublesome lunatics
Since her youth. Larissa had been the target of Yveltes anger and harsh words, so much so that she was numb to her mother’s
mockery
Emotionlessly, Larissa replied. “Whether I’m Iving a good life or who I marry, that has nothing to do with you.”
For so many years. Yvette hadn’t cared about her at all. The non–existent mother–daughter bond between them had long been
erased by the passage of time.
Pointing at Larissa, Yvette screamed. “If you want to cut all all lies with me, go and change your name! Don’t let anyone know
that you’re
my daughter!
“Alright,” Larissa agreed calmly. Til go to the police station tomorrow,”
Yvette tumed scarlet with anger.
Her ips trembling, Yvette swung her hand at Larissa’s face and gave her another slap.
Larissa held her stinging cheek, tears welling up in lier eyes uncontrollably.
Yvette hit her so hard that her ears were ringing from the shock and her teeth felt cose.
“You ingrate!” Yvette gritted her teeth and cursed. ‘You’re just an ungrateful wretch! I shouldn’t have brought you along when I
married into the Seymour family! I should have abandoned you and let you lend for yoursell!”
For once, Larissa shared the same thought as Yvette.
If Yvette hadn’t brought her along when she married into the Seymour family, she probably wouldn’t have survived. On the bright
side, she probably wouldn’t have to endure such hardships either.
Yvette took three deep breaths to calm herself down.
“I’ve paid one million dollars to those troublemakers on your mother–in–law’s side to settle things for now.”
When she mentioned the one million dollars, her tone was dripping with disdain.
“I don’t need you to pay me back–I know you can’t afford it. Just make sure you don’t cause any trouble for me in the future.”
Yvette continued with an air of superiority, as if she’d bestowed a huge favor upon Larissa
