Chapter 661

Author: Lean
Albus sat in stunned silence for a long time. When he said nothing, the anger on his face slowly faded.

Only when the outburst she expected never came did Diana soften her tone. "Grandpa, Vee isn't just my mother's daughter, or our sister. She's your granddaughter too."

Albus shot her a look. "Do you really need to remind me of that?"

He could not refute her argument. That was obvious. His pride took a hit, and after a brief pause, he waved a hand and forced the matter closed. "Alright, alrig

  • Once a Doormat, Now Untouchable   Chapter 665

    Raymond clicked his tongue, irritation showing plainly at the corners of his eyes. He lifted his long, narrow gaze slightly and found Glen looking back at him with a smile that was half polite, half provocative.Glen still did not address him. Instead, he turned to Tiffany. "It's been a while since I last saw your parents. Want to go in together?"'Oh, please.' Raymond smirked faintly as he waited, certain of her rejection."Sure."He did not expect that. The woman who had just walked out of that war zone of a hospital room agreed without hesitation.His smirk froze. When he spoke again, sarcasm laced every word. "Didn't get yelled at enough?"At that, the blood in Tiffany's body seemed to go cold. Until now, she had not been sure how much he had overheard. Part of her had even hoped he had caught only her last line.Now she knew better. He had heard almost everything. He had heard Stanley call her cold-blooded and ungrateful. He had heard Stanley accuse Mabel of keeping another

    Tiffany could not tell whether she was imagining it, but the man in front of her did not sound as casual as usual. She could not explain what felt different.The question struck the one place in her that was still raw and fragile. She had no time to think. She reacted on instinct and shot back coldly, "What does it have to do with you? Are you addicted to eavesdropping now?"She did not want Sydney to know too much about her family. But if one person had to know about this mess, she would rather it be Sydney. At least, Sydney was the only person in this world who would never laugh at her.Jouleston was a big city. Unless someone intended it, lives rarely crossed.For more than five years after the breakup, she had vanished without a trace. Since they met again last year, every encounter had found her perfectly composed. She smiled when appropriate and handled herself with ease with him and with everyone.Sometimes, Raymond wanted to see her lose control, even if only once, no matt

    Scenes like this were normal in the Voss family. Tiffany had seen them so often that she had grown numb. She could not stop it.At first, she would rush forward without thinking and shield Mabel. Somewhere along the way, that changed. Maybe she had come to understand that the conflict between those two had never been about her. It had always been about their precious son.Stanley could not swallow words like that. He lunged forward, raised his hand to strike Mabel, and spat curses as he shouted, "That little bastard turned out like this because you spoiled him! Mabel, marrying you was the worst luck of my life!"You handed over that much money to pay his debts just like that? You filthy bitch. I didn't even have the right to know?"By the end, the abuse turned vile. Tiffany had heard words like this countless times. Even so, her hand tightened without her noticing.She could not tell whether the shame came from the scene they were making in the hospital, or from how pitiful Mabel

    The moment he heard that, Tyler dropped the act, stopped pretending to cry, and stepped directly into Tiffany's path."Exactly. Dad's right." His tone carried complete conviction. "Sis, you can't be this selfish."Father and son wore the same expression, so alike that Tiffany almost laughed, but she could not. After all, those two shameless men were her father and her brother.For a brief moment, even breathing felt difficult. She could not understand what kind of sin she must have committed in a past life to end up with relatives like them.She drew a long, steady breath. Then she gave up on leaving, turned back, and fixed her gaze on Stanley. "You really don't know whether I have money after all these years of working? Or whether I've been stingy with this family?"As she spoke, she shifted her gaze to Mabel. "If he doesn't know, you should."Ever since she started working, she had transferred 1,000 dollars to Mabel every month, without fail. Add in holidays, illnesses, and oth

That was obvious. His pride took a hit, and after a brief pause, he waved a hand and forced the matter closed. "Alright, alright. I've got people here to look after me. You two should go do whatever you need to do."Diana saw that he had relented, so she let it rest. "Raymond can go. I'll stay and take you home this afternoon."It was nothing serious. The doctor had already made rounds that morning, given him a thorough check, and cleared him for discharge later that day.Standing in front of Albus, Raymond lifted a thumb toward Diana without the slightest restraint. "These days, you're the only one he listens to."

    That single sentence froze the air in the room.To outsiders, Albus had always been known for fairness and discipline. After decades in power, he had never shown favoritism. Yet now his most valued granddaughter stood before him and called him unfair.Albus paused. His expression did not change, but his presence grew heavier, edged with restrained authority. "So, you're still saying I'm wrong?"The calmer he sounded, the more it revealed how tightly he held back his anger. No matter how accomplished Diana was, she was not yet in a position to confront him head-on.Raymond understood that at once. He stepped forward and moved to shield her, raising a hand as if to pull her behind him.Between the two of them, he was the better target. He had spent years building a bad reputation. Taking the blow meant nothing to him.Before he could act, Diana lifted a hand and stopped him. She held her ground."If that's how you want to put it, then I won't deny it," she said steadily.Silence

    On the other side of the city, in the garden, an old woman and a young man sat together in rare harmony.Julian picked up some food and placed it before Agatha. "Next New Year, I'll definitely bring her back for you to meet. Alright?""Eat your food." Agatha gave him a chiding glance. "After this,

    "What do you mean? Your dowry? All of it's supposed to go toward buying your brother a house?""Yeap." Tiffany rolled her eyes and cracked open a beer, gulping it down in fury. "They can dream on. And they even said, since I've been working three or four years already, plus being a lawyer is such a

    Penelope grabbed Sydney's arm. "You're not allowed to leave! Call Caleb right now! Tell him you cheated, that you're divorcing him!"Sydney was utterly speechless. She was just about to respond when she saw Gordon leading a group of bodyguards rushing toward them.Caleb was in the middle, his stri
