Chapter 69: Teach him a lesson!
"Didn’t I tell you to shut up? Didn’t you hear me?" Brianna snapped, rubbing her throbbing temples. These children were a constant source of frustration.
Hannah’s intelligence was far below Ella’s, and yet she dared to speak out like this in such a situation.
"Mom, why did you hit me... Waaa!" Hannah started to cry.
Ella remained impassive. "Leave. I need to rest."
"Don’t take your sister’s words to heart, Ella..." Brianna hastily tried to explain, maintaining her image as a loving mother above all else.
"Auntie, you always tell me not to take things to heart. Like when the Davis family’s eldest stabbed me multiple times — should I not take that to heart either, even if I was dying?" Ella’s voice turned icy, a chill that made Brianna pause.
"I’m sorry! I will have Kevin apologize to you."
Ella let out a cold laugh, no longer calling Brianna "Mom". "Auntie, please leave with Hannah. I want to sleep now."
Though Ella didn’t openly break with Brianna, her demeanor was noticeably colder.
To Brianna, this was understandable given that Kevin had treated Ella so brutally.
"Alright, you rest well. We will come back to see you tomorrow."
