Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S21 19. Disturbing Barbara’s Peace

Barbara just sighed. She was too lazy to talk.

“We can’t stay still, Dear. We have to prepare a counterattack. Otherwise, they will become even more reckless.”

“Mom,” Barbara frowned, “can’t you just calm down? Just for one day, don’t worry about anything. I’m still recovering. I need peace.”

Melanie stared wide eyed. “How can I be calm, Darling? Those parasites are still eating away at your brother’s property. They are

taking away our rights! I can’t let it happen.”

Barbara closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She realized that she couldn’t possibly win in an argument with her mother.

“I want to sleep, Mom. If you go out, please turn off the lights.”

Melanie sighed in disbelief. However, she still fulfilled her daughte request. She came out with a dull face.

“Is Barbara upset with me?” Melanie started to grumble. “It’s all because of those parasites. They must have instigated Frank to poison Barbara.”

“Good afternoon, Mrs. Martin.”

Susan gasped and looked back. “Oh, Mrs. Harper? You’re home? How is your daughter? Is she better?”

Melanie’s smile almost turned cynical. She thought Susan’s concern
