Joseline stood above the stairs, placing her hand on the railing. Her protruding belly indicated she was seven or eight months into her pregnancy. However, she seemed to have been taking good care of herself and was in pretty good shape.

Angeline picked up the cup of coffee on the table and responded calmly, “Is there a problem for me to return to my own home?”

“Stop putting on an act in front of Grandpa. You didn’t come home to visit after returning to the country for such a long time. Do you even think of this place as your home? Don’t think I’m unaware of your motive for coming here.”

Joseline looked at Angeline warily, clenching her fists.

Ever since Angeline stirred trouble at her wedding previously, she finally realized how vicious the woman could be. She dared not underestimate Angeline, for fear that she would once again fall into the latter’s trap.

“Joseline, stop yelling at Angeline!”

Just then, Hanson exited the room. For a moment, he was in a daze when he saw Angeline’s delicate appearance.

“How can you side with her, Hanson?”

Joseline stomped her feet angrily. Pregnant women tended to be exceptionally sensitive, and Hanson’s attitude toward Angeline only served to make Joseline more uneasy.

Hanson got even more irritated upon seeing Joseline throwing a tantrum. Raising his voice, he snapped, “That’s enough!”

Angeline, on the other hand, ignored their dispute and maintained her composure while sipping her coffee. “Oh? What motive do I have? Pray tell.”

“You’re back for the shares Dad and Mom left behind, of course. I’ll never give them to you!” Joseline roared angrily as she stormed down the stairs, her high heels clicking imposingly on the steps.

“Leave! Now! I don’t want to see you.”

The sight of Angeline reminded her of the humiliation she suffered during the wedding.

Agitated, Joseline didn’t even bother to look at Wilfred, who was sitting on the couch, as she stepped forward to grab Angeline’s arm.

Thump!

A crisp noise echoed as Angeline slammed the cup in her hand on the table. A few droplets of hot liquid splashed out of the cup from the impact.
