Jocelyn walked over to us

Mrs. Linden shot Jocelyn a look of displeasure. "Don't call me 'Mom' all the time. You haven't even married into our family

Having been rebuked, Jocelyn shut up instantly. She glazed at me with a resentful look in her eyes.

I was greatly relieved to see that Elijah was in, wanted to leave. However, Mrs. Linden refused in let me go. She stood in my way and questioned, "Ariana, tell are you trying to do? Hrowned. "I'm not trying to do anything. I -

From the corners of my eyes, I noticed Lijah's side profile. He looked as white as a short. I stopped myself from completing my sentence.

Based on my reaction, Mrs Linden concluded that I still had feelings for Ejah.

In a condescending voice, she said, "Ariana, you've beneticted quite a fair bit from the Linden family. I'd suggest you mase up and know where to draw the line."

I kept quiet

Sering that 1 was being hounded by Mrs. Linden, Evan came up to us. "Mom, how could you say that? Ari -

Mrs. Linden gave him a tight-sounding stap. In an instant, a slap mark appeared on Evan's face,

He glared at Mrs. Linden "Mom, what is wrong with you? Why did you hit me?"

Mrs. Linden flew into a rage and started hitting Evan. "I'm hitting you for being a bastard who sides with outsiders! You're just a useless and ungrateful batard... Why are you interrupting a conversacion between adults? Go to hell. I'll bear you to death!! Evan did not dare to strike back the entire time. All he could do was to block her

It was only at this point that Mrs. Linden became satisfied and stopped lashing our

She scoffed "Ariana, I'll give you a hundred million dollars on the condition that you leave the Linden family

Before I could finish my sentence, she landed a loud slap on my face

She withdrew her hand and untered in a smag voice, "Are you refusing? If you refuse, I'll beat this bastard to death. Weren't you feeling bad for him? I shall beat him to death, then?"

Feeling disputed. I said. "Mrs. Linden, don't threaten me with Evan. It's a crime to beat someone to death."

Mrs Linden harrumphed. "Well, as I said, I'm giving you a hundred million dollars to make yourself disappear."

Deep down, I was furious. That being said, I knew that it was useless to negotiate with the unreasonable Mrs. Linden at this moment

1 helped Evan up and urged, "Let's go. Leave her alone."

Suddenly, Evan stopped in his tracks. He said to Mrs Linden, "Don't use me to threaten Ari. My great-grandfather won't go easy on you!"

Mrs Linden chuckled "Your great-grandfather? Which great-grandfather?"

She paused before continuing. "Wall, what? You bastard Clarify yourse! Which great-grandfather were you referring to?

The more of a fuss you make, the less likely I am to give you what you want! "Once Elijah wakes up, I'll make him divorce you immediately. We don't want to have a bitch like you in our family?

I heard Jocelyn speaking too. She said, "Mr. Linden, truth be told, Elijah doesn't love her at all. Ms. Tork is the one who assumes that he does. Elijah has been terribly tormented by her all these years. Last night, Elijah got stabbed after getting drunk because she insisted on divorcing him."novelbin

Hand-in-hand, Evan and I walked in silence for a really long time.

Both of us finally got tired of walking, I realized that after all that, we were still in the hospital

I let go of Evan's hand in a dejected voice, I urged, "You should just go back to school. There's no use in you staying here. You'll also end up prizing beaten by your mom."

Tcovered my face. "I'm such a useless person. I wasn't able to protem you, and I even implicated your older brother."
