All Chapters of Once a Doormat, Now Untouchable: Chapter 661 - Chapter 670

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, 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."

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

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

Hearing that, Sydney felt a little lighter. Many of her most anxious moments in the past had been spent with Tiffany at her side.After dinner, they had tea with Agatha for a while, then returned to the bedroom.They showered one after the other and ended up sprawled together on the sofa, watching a variety show.For a moment, Sydney felt as if she had returned to the days when she and Tiffany lived together at Haven.A plate of fruit sat on the table, freshly delivered by the maids.Sydney popped a strawberry into Tiffany's mouth and asked, "How is your dad? Elliot said his injuries were pretty serious.""He's perfectly fine." Tiffany bit into the strawberry. "He can run, jump, and scream his head off. What could possibly be wrong with him?"Sydney frowned slightly. "Is he still demanding money from you?""Yeah." Tiffany nodded, then leaned forward to grab another strawberry and tossed it into her mouth, trying to change the subject. "These strawberries are amazing. Way sweete

Raymond was here too?Sydney instinctively glanced toward the bedroom.Julian read her thoughts and gave a quiet laugh. "He's here to see both you and Tiffany."She understood why he would want to see Tiffany. But her?Sydney blinked. "Me?"What was there for him to see?Just as she spoke, Polly came upstairs. "Miss, Ms. Agatha wants to know if you're still taking your medicine today."Although her condition had stabilized, Sydney had not stopped taking it.She considered it for a moment. "Not for now."Medicine was still medicine.As she spoke, the bedroom door opened behind her. Tiffany had already washed up and changed. She had not brought a change of clothes yesterday, but Sydney's clothes fit her well enough.The moment she saw Julian, Tiffany smiled and teased, "Mr. Sterling, Sydney barely slept all night waiting for you."Julian did not look surprised."I guessed as much." His tone carried a trace of helplessness.When he returned earlier, Agatha had wanted everyon
