Chapter 762 Come On, Make This Time an Exception

Just as the taxi Elise was taking reached the intersection, she saw from afar how the servant of the White Residence manhandled Jacob out of the house. Even all the luggage she brought home yesterday were thrown on the ground.

Lyra and Adelpha were also there, relentlessly berating Jacob with their fingers pointing at him.

Elise quickly paid the fare before she got out of the car. She then stalked over, and unhesitantly kicked away the servant who was holding onto Jacob.

When she turned around, her sharp eyes fell on the mother-and-daughter duo as she demanded, “Whose idea was this?”

Adelpha had only accidentally met her eyes before she quietly hid behind Lyra when panic hit her.

Unlike her daughter, Lyra puffed out her chest and arrogantly taunted, “It was I. What’s the matter? You have been kicked out of the house by your father a long time ago because of how immoral you are. There is no place for you in this family, so what is wrong with me kicking you out, you overconfident little sl*t?! How dare you covet Adelpha’s room? This is the consequence of your own actions!”

Elise calmly looked at Lyra putting on a tough front, and she suddenly asked, “What brand of plastic bags do you use? They sure can fit a lot in them, don’t they?”

Fortunately, she did some research on Anastasia before she came to the White Residence. She would have had to put up with their ridicule otherwise.

 

It was true that the White Family was a scholarly family, but Onyx’s writing had always been tepid. He could barely make ends meet with his income. If it wasn’t for Anastasia’s mother, who had given a generous dowry when she got married so that he could concentrate on writing, Onyx wouldn’t have the fame and wealth he had today.

However, life had just gotten slightly better when Onyx hooked up with Lyra.

Anastasia’s mother had a fall out with her family when she married Onyx. Expecting no one to back Anastasia’s mother up, Onyx had directly brought Lyra and Adelpha into the house, and had proceeded to blatantly enjoy a life of having both a wife and a mistress.

Because of that, Anastasia’s mother didn’t live a day where she was not depressed, and had passed away not long after. Anastasia herself didn’t meet a good end either.

Lyra and Adelpha, however, continued to happily indulge in luxuries as though nothing had happened.
