Mind Reading Isn't So Good After All

On my first day back with the Harrison family, my biological mother, Linda Yates, laid down the law for me sternly because of my poor table manners. "Now that you've entered the Harrison family, you'd better rein in your wild behavior. I don't expect you to be as refined and cultured as Yvette, but you should at least understand basic manners. "You should know that starting from your great-grandmother, the women of the Yates family have always been the top socialites in Vondemont. Every outrageous thing you do will be a slap in the face for our ancestors."I listened obediently with my head lowered, putting on a submissive appearance like a model student. However, I couldn't help but complain silently in my mind, "So, this is my biological mother, huh? She has such fair skin, long legs, and perky hips. Rich people really know how to take care of themselves. "It's no wonder she could still find work as an OnlyFans streamer after divorcing Dad."Mom, who had been scolding me earl

Like a dog who got beaten up, Zach suddenly became quiet and listless. John patted his shoulder supportively and whispered something in his ear—likely words of comfort. I narrowed my eyes and thought, "John's still trying to comfort others? He doesn't realize his kidney issues are caused by Susan's drugs as well. Yvette knew this all along, but she didn't warn him because of her pregnancy. Poor John. He becomes everyone's target just because he's Dad's son. "Yvette and Susan both want to ruin him just to let their child usurp his position. John hopes to use my kidney to save himself, but what he doesn't know is Yvette had someone inject me with a used needle, and now, I have contracted hepatitis C. I can never donate a kidney to him now. "The only perfect match for him is Dad, but he never intends to donate a kidney to John. He even faked the test results. Poor, poor John. How pitiful can he be?"I corrected myself inwardly, "Wait a minute. I should be the pitiful one. I got d

Yvette froze at that moment, tears still streaming down her face. "Zach, you…"Zach didn't want to argue further. He opened the door and walked out. Yvette saw me outside the door and furrowed her brows. "Tiffany, how rude of you to eavesdrop on our conversation!"I replied, "I was just passing by.""You were totally eavesdropping. It's no wonder you're from the countryside. You have no manners at all."I was about to retort when Zach interrupted impatiently, "That's enough. How can you look down on people from the countryside? Don't forget that your biological parents are from the country, too."Zach usually spoiled Yvette and indulged her every wish. Now that he sided with someone else, Yvette was so angry that she stomped her foot in frustration.I could only marvel at his change: "What's this development? Did Zach really awaken from his spell? Or is he trying to play hard to get in order to make Yvette feel devastating regret?"As Zach was about to walk away, he stopped an

I didn't know what method John used, but he managed to persuade Yvette to come back. Since then, she changed her attitude toward me entirely. If I hadn't noticed a strange taste in my food, I might have believed Yvette had turned over a new leaf.…The next day, Mom invited Winter over as a guest. When I entered the house, Mom was having coffee with her. She waved me over to greet her. I greeted Winter as usual.I then mused, "So this woman, Winter, used to be Mom's college roommate. Their relationship was great until that scumbag Dad ruined everything. Back then, Winter never got involved with Dad, but Dad slandered her and accused her of seducing him. That was why Mom and Winter drifted apart. "At that time, Mom believed her best friend had betrayed her and was trapped in a slump for years. Yvette took the opportunity to squeeze her way into the company and forced Mom out. "Now that Mom is planning to team up with Winter, she seems to have finally awakened and is getting r

Dad signed the papers without a second thought. Then, he burst into maniacal laughter. "Linda, divorcing me is useless. You won't get a single cent."Mom shrugged her shoulders. "Oh, really?"She snapped her fingers. Suddenly, everyone's phones began to ring simultaneously. It turned out that she had the signal in the area blocked all this time. Dad finally received the call he had been waiting for. After answering, his entire demeanor changed. He looked at Mom with bloodshot eyes. "You insane woman! You transferred your assets during our marriage!" Mom sneered. "Be careful with your accusations. It's illegal, you know?"Dad wanted to argue further, but two police officers entered the room. They nodded politely and asked, "Are you Thomas Harrison? Someone reported you for tax evasion. Please come with us for further investigation."Dad was taken away by the police. I couldn't help but laugh quietly in a corner. My laugh didn't escape the eyes of Yvette, who had completely l
