“Nonsense! Those men have already left this country…”
Helena blurted out in haste, then paused, realizing what she had just revealed. The atmosphere froze.
“No. No! That’s not true! It’s all Craig’s conspiracy! Lies to get rid of me!”
“Well, you should behave more decorously in your old age. Cross me again, and I’ll send you to the wastelands.”
“How dare you, how dare…”
“James.”
Leonard coldly addressed the servant who had come to fetch him.
“My mother seems unwell. Take her to her room. Now.”
His voice was filled with an imposing authority.
The servant didn’t dare defy Leonard’s order.
Two footmen approached Helena and firmly grasped her arms.
“Let go! How dare you! Will you not release me?”
“I’m sorry, ma’am.”
The servants, sensitive to the shift in power, instinctively knew who would now hold sway in the house.
“I am the lady of this house, not that degenerate! I built this family!”
Despite Helena’s fierce resistance, she was no match for the strength of the men.
Lilly watched her mother being led away, then numbly followed.
Everything passed like a storm.
The nearby maids also withdrew, leaving only Leonard and Cordelia. Cordelia, watching where Helena had disappeared, said,
“Is this really okay? Lady Helena won’t just sit back and do nothing…”
“Why are you drenched in wine?”
“It’s nothing. Just the usual venting on me.”
“What venting?”
“I guess Lilly must have told Lady Helena about being driven out of your room that day. She’s just picking on me because of that.”
She spoke nonchalantly, a way Cordelia had always protected herself.
All this torment was nothing. So, there was no reason to be hurt.
“I’m fine.”
Cordelia smiled reassuringly at him.
In his own way, he had shielded her. Regardless of his intentions, Leonard’s intervention was appreciated.
But the moment she saw his eyes, Cordelia instinctively shrank back.
Anyone could see Leonard looked furious.
‘Why is he angry…?’
“Are you stupid? Don’t you have any self-respect?”
“What?”
His cold sarcasm left Cordelia flustered. Leonard looked at her wet hair and said,
“Do you think by groveling like this, they’ll give you more money when you leave?”
“…”
“Get a grip, Cordelia Vasquez. All your scrambling won’t change anything.”
Scrambling. That word stung. It felt like all her efforts to smile and endure in this household were being belittled.
‘It’s okay. It’s all right.’
But instead of enduring, she tried to smile through the discomfort.
“Your words… are a bit harsh.”
“You’re a Vasquez, one of the sacred eight families. Do you need to bow so lowly?”
“…”
“So stop bowing like a fool and…”
“What do you know about me to say that?”
Her patience burst at that moment.
Helena’s insults were bearable, but for some reason, every word from Leonard felt like a sharp sword piercing her heart.
“Scrambling? Sure, to you, it must look like that. ‘Why is she so abject? Doesn’t she have any pride?'”
“Wait. I just meant…”
“What do you know about my life to spout such nonsense?”
Cordelia looked straight into Leonard’s eyes, anger chilling her mind.
“My own father sold me to this hell for a few coins! He told me not to return even as a corpse! What am I supposed to do? Do you even know how a woman from a falling family lives and dies? No, you don’t!”
She yelled at him for the first time. A mix of emotions, too complex to understand.
“You wouldn’t know. You were born with everything. Born under a bright blessing, never wanting for anything.”
“…”
“Why do you think I bow so lowly, smile even when drenched in wine?”
Her voice trembled involuntarily. She struggled not to cry, but couldn’t completely control the surge of emotions.
A single tear rolled down her cheek.

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.

Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
