******

Not long ago, it was Lorraine, Sophia, and Glenn who had been dumbstruck, staring in a daze. But now, the roles were reversed.

The stunned expressions of Sophia, Glenn, and Jonathan filled the room as they stared at Lorraine, who stood there with a mischievous, almost playful smirk dancing across her lips.

Their jaws were slack, their eyes wide, and for a long moment, none of them could quite process what they had just heard.

Although they had all suspected that Lorraine was planning something when they had heard the type of questions she had posed to Jonathan. But none of them… not a single one could have predicted this outcome.

Lorraine, who had been nothing short of hostile, vicious, and venomous in her words and actions toward Glenn, now seemed to have done an about-face.

If anything, she should have been the most vehement in rejecting Jonathan’s idea… after all, she had shown far more spite than Sophia had done. And yet here she was, smiling at her husband with the k

Chapter 195 – Meeting James Koch Again
******The sudden shift in Avery’s attitude and tone was so startling that both Perry and Irene froze mid-breath.But before either of them could gather their wits, Avery moved forward, appearing all warmth and grace, and laid a hand on Irene’s shoulder with a pat so light and gentle that it felt rehearsed.“Don’t mind Mother, Sister,” she continued, sighing as though she were the very model of magnanimity. “Mistakes happen, and even if you had planned to harm me and my child, look at us… aren’t we both standing here perfectly fine?”Her words were very sweet to the ears, sounding as though they had been wrapped with honey, but the sting of accusation beneath that sweetness was very obvious.Yet the smile on her lips and the softness in her tone made them sound almost like forgiveness.The silence that followed was deafening.For the first time ever, Perry and Irene mirrored each other, their faces equally blank with shock, and both of them gawking at Avery as if she had sudden
Chapter 194 – It’s Not That Serious, Mother
******For a moment after hearing her mother, Irene just stood frozen in place, her eyes wide, staring blankly at Perry as though she had just spoken in an alien language.Then finally, she blinked slowly, deep confusion appearing on her face.‘What does she mean by ‘beg your sister’s forgiveness?’ she thought in a stupor, her chest tightening.‘I already said I was sorry, haven’t I? What else could they possibly want… me groveling on my knees?’Just then, her gaze shifted to Avery.At this moment, her elder sister’s eyes still burned with pure venom and icy coldness, appearing as though Irene had committed a crime punishable by death to her.The look radiating from her made it obvious: Avery had no intention of letting this matter die down, no matter what.And this… it was how their relationship had always been.No matter how minor Irene’s mistake was or even if Irene wasn’t to blame for the mistakes, she had always been blamed and treated like the criminal… even when Avery
Chapter 193 – Irene’s Disappointment II
******To any stranger watching right now, it would appear obvious: Irene could not possibly be their daughter or sister. The way they berated her, stripped her dignity, and accused her… it was treatment reserved for a despised servant and not family.Anyone witnessing the scene would swear their bonds of blood were a mistake, that Irene must be an outsider intruding where she didn’t belong.…Suddenly, Irene no longer felt surprised.Instead, her shock rapidly melted away, leaving behind only an empty ache.This wasn’t new.In fact, this was the same treatment her mother and sister had shown her since she was a child. Every single one of her mistakes had always been magnified, and every one of her stumbles twisted into something monstrous.They had always been quick to condemn her and to make her feel like an intruder in her own family.And yet, even knowing this pattern, Irene couldn’t stop the sting of disappointment from cutting deep. Disappointment at them, disappointmen
Chapter 192 – Irene’s Disappointment
******Suddenly, Irene couldn’t help but freeze where she stood, her body stiff as though the ground itself had swallowed her feet, her mother’s sudden accusation, cold and venomous, echoing sharply in her mind with such sharp spite that the words might have been aimed at a sworn enemy rather than her own child.Perry’s glare bore down on her with a hostility so fierce that Irene felt as though she had just committed the cruelest crime imaginable.Her lips parted soundlessly, her jaw dropped in disbelief.Just now, both she and her elder sister had stumbled, and in fact, Irene had tripped more severely than Irene, nearly pitching forward into the ground, while her sister… steady on her feet, could not have possibly fallen.Yet here she was, accused, condemned, and treated as though she were some malicious villain.Her mother hadn’t even glanced at her with the slightest tinge of concern… offering her no helping hand or worry. Instead, only blame.For a second, Irene’s chest tig
Chapter 191 – Perry’s Accusation
******Irene was able to see through her mother and sister’s performance as easily as glass, because no matter how flawless they act, she knew the truth: they didn’t love her at all... not in the way a mother and sister should, at least.In fact, their joy wasn’t about seeing her or that she was moving back home. It was about what she represented… the security of their own gains and the protection of their own interests.It’s not like she just returned to the country. She had been around for a few weeks now, but they had completely ignored her existence.Instead, their excitement was no more than the nervous relief of investors seeing their investment return and knowing that it was about to yield them a chart-breaking gain.Inside, her heart ached sharply at this feeling. She wanted to deny it and silence the thought, but she was no longer so gullible again, not especially after the previous day’s event.Before she even knew it…‘Hypocrite.’The word echoed through her mind, a
Chapter 190 – A Cold Irene
******After exiting the taxi, Irene unhurriedly paid the driver with a curt nod, not noticing the man fidgeting like an ordinary commoner in the presence of a noble.Then, daring not to meet her gaze, the man quickly slammed the pedals and sped away before Irene’s aura could freeze him to an ice statue, leaving behind two travel bags at Irene’s feet... a clear sign that she had packed out of her rented apartmentWith the cab gone, Irene also finally turned to face the building before her, her expression unreadable.This was the place she had once called home, the villa she had lived in before being ‘convinced’ to leave the country.In an instant, different memories flashed through her mind, but none reflected in her face.Irene’s eyes remained flat and devoid of nostalgia or warmth. Instead, as she gazed at the familiar house, she seemed not to see a home, but instead, a prison… one she had no desire to return to, and yet one she could not avoid.Her jaw tightened almost imper
