Chapter 284

The curtain had just fallen on one uproarious event, and another was about to be staged.

At this moment, Frederic and Thaddeus were both out, which made the old saying come to mind ‘When the cat’s away, the mice will play!

Glynnis was convinced that Marilla had tipped off their grandfather, so she stormed into her room, grabbed her hair and dragged her all the way to the living room. She had indeed learned a thing or two from the way their father humiliated Thaddeus carlier, and she wasn’t afraid to showcase her newfound knowledge. “Glynnis, let go, my head hurts so much!” Marilla’s eyes filled with tears, feeling as if her scalp was about to be torn off.

“Traitor‘ You feel pain, huh? Good! Today, as your sister, I’m going to teach you a lesson for your treachery!”

As Glynnis spat out insults, she lifted her arm and slapped Marilla across the face.

“Ah!”

A crisp sound echoed, startling the housemaids.

They watched in horror as Marilla, so frail and delicate, was knocked to the ground.

Everyone was on edge, their eyes red with anger, but as staff of the Abernathy family, they dare not interfere with the family’s affairs. They could only be angry but not speak out.

“Glynnis. I’m sorry. I’m really sorry! I won’t do it again!” Marilla covered her face and sobbed uncontrollably.

She knew at this moment, no one would come to her aid.

She wanted to fight back, but her body felt as weak as dough, completely unable to resist.

Glynnis was the granddaughter cherished by their grandfather, the daughter doted on by their parents. What could she use to fight against her?

Her sister–in–law could afford to leave, but not her. She had no choice but to stay in this house! So she had to endure and swallow her words. This was Marilla’s law of survival.

“Miss Marilla! Miss Marilla!”

Linda ran over, crying, and knelt beside Marilla, holding her in her arms, “Miss Glynnis! You are both Mr. Frederic’s daughters, what gives you the right to bully Miss Marilla?”

“What?”

Glynnis laughed at this, one hand on her hip, her gaze fierce, “Idiot, I didn’t expect you to make a friend in this house.”
