Chapter 288: Endure for so Long
What Yolanda said meant that she had seen the whole process clearly, so she just sat there waiting to see how Samantha panicked in shock. But she was disappointed.
Samantha turned around and looked into her eyes. Then, she said lightly, "What are you doing back here? Are you here to ask for help? If so, then you'd better be nice. This is the most basic etiquette for begging someone, understand?" Samantha did not answer Yolanda's question, but directly pointed out her purpose in coming.
Samantha had long learned from George that Allen wanted to divorce Yolanda, so she immediately guessed the reason why Yolanda would come back.
Hearing this, Yolanda was furious, but she did come here asking for help, so she didn't dare to say harsh words. She gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I am here to ask for help. Allen wants to divorce me. I think if the Moore family can pressure on the Charles family, he might give up this idea in view of his family's interests."
"So?"
Samantha leaned slightly against the bed and looked at Yolanda with the same faint smile as hers just now.
Yolanda got upset about being looked in this way with a strong desire to rush up to Samantha and claw at her pretty young face. But she resisted it and continued, "So, I want to ask you and Martin for help."
In the end, she added, "If you can help me, I'll just pretend not to see what happened today."
She had no confidence that Samantha would help her, because she knew how unforgivable what she had done to her stepmother in the past was.
"Are you threatening me?"
Samantha remained calm and suddenly sneered, saying, "In all these years, although I am your stepmother, have you ever respected me one day? When you were young, you hid snakes in my quilt, put dead rats in my shoes, and put chicken blood and laxatives in my drinks. There are too many things that I didn't care about because I thought you were just a young kid. But when you grew up, you were even worse, treating me as if I were a servant of the Moore family, sometimes even worse than that. You can do whatever you want to me, be it cursing or abusing. For the sake of your father, I've always endured it. Now, do you think that I will help you when seeing you end up like this? If I really do that, I'll be sorry for myself forgetting what I have suffered all these years? Miss Moore, you really don't feel ashamed of coming here and asking for help!"
Saying this, Samantha paused and then continued, "Also, you can dismiss the idea of threatening me. Since I dare to do something like this, I'm not afraid of the consequences, let alone the rumors. All right, that's all. You can leave now. If there is nothing else, you'd better not come back. I will give you all the inheritance your father gave you. But the prerequisite is that you don't come here and provoke me again. Otherwise, I have many ways to let you get nothing." "You..."
Yolanda was tongue-tied.
She had never expected that her stepmother, who had always been humble and never spoken loudly in front of her, would be so scheming. In order to secure her position in the Moore family, Samantha could actually endure her teasing and bullying for more than twenty years. But Yolanda had always thought that her stepmother was a pushover and would definitely agree to help her this time without hesitation.
Was she too self-righteous, or was this woman in front of her too terrifying?
The legacy bequeathed by her father had now become her only way out. How could Yolanda dare to continue making trouble here? Furthermore, she was trying to act against George. If she fell out with him, it would not benefit her at all.
As a result, not surprisingly, Yolanda had no choice and could only do as Samantha said!
When Yolanda walked out of the gate with a pale face from anger, she ran into Vivian who was on her way home.
"Yolanda!"
Seeing Yolanda walk out of the house, Vivian felt slightly puzzled but still pretended to be nice and called her sweetly.
Vivian had always been envious of girls coming of a wealthy and powerful family like Yolanda, and would try to ingratiate herself with them.
...
Yolanda cast a contemptuous sidelong glance at Vivian and snorted coldly.
Yolanda knew that Vivian had become part of the Moore family. That day, she even made a big fuss about it, but things didn't work out as she wished. For this, Yolanda hated Samantha's guts. This woman had swept her father off his feet when he was alive and turned the Moore family into a mess after his death.
Vivian trembled uncontrollably when seeing Yolanda's gloomy gaze, and immediately perished the thought of trying to sweet talk her.
"Someone is destined to be an ugly duckling. How can she become a swan with what doesn't belong to her? What a joke!"
Yolanda stared at Vivian and said viciously. Then, she looked away, slammed the door and left.00000000000000
