“What are you doing, Alice? For seven years, you never came home. The moment you return, you start berating your grandmother, angering her. Is this how you are supposed to treat an elder? Where are your manners? Do you even know how to be filial? You shamelessly insisted on marrying Bruce, but he did not want you. Well, no one is to blame for that, especially not your grandmother,” barked Elijah as he stood up and pointed at Alice. Every word he said was spoken with the intent to humiliate her.

He wanted her to be angry, to lose her temper, to step out of line due to her fury. That was the plan he and Emma came up with.

Alice was a stupid fool. One insult from him would definitely infuriate her so much that she might be about to explode. She looked up and glanced at him. Was he deliberately provoking her?

Frankly speaking, she had been surprised by Sophia’s request for her to visit home today. His attitude made the entire situation even stranger.

She internally smirked. Since he went through all that to trick her into coming back, she would play long for a while longer. Hopefully, he would put on a great show, or she would be very disappointed.

Looking at the others in the room, she no longer felt the urge to speak anymore. In that case, she should just act.

After looking around the room, she found a golf club. She walked over and picked it up and it felt nice to hold.

These people thought she was a fool, a weakling they could trample all over. So, why not give them a show of her might today?

She casually swung the golf club around, shattering the trinkets displayed on the table near her.

“What are you doing? Have you gone mad?” Elijah shot to his feet. “You rebellious child! I will have to discipline you on Ethan’s behalf.”

He then moved as if he was going to charge forward and hit her.

However, if one took a closer look, one would find his eyes glimmering with glee. He had been worried their plan might fail. Now that she was doing this, she had no one to blame but herself for what was going to happen. This was amazing.
