Chapter 71 An Overgrown Baby

“I said, apologize!”

“In your dreams!” Yvonne still wasn’t scared. “I’m the daughter of a family that’s actually rich and powerful. Apologizing to an old lady like you? You must be crazy!”

Hestia seized Yvonne’s collar and slapped her again. “The insolence!”

Yvonne had pissed her off so much that Hestia wanted to slap her a third time, but the former dodged her hand.

Grace discreetly gave Hestia a thumbs–up and whispered to her, “Nice one, Aunt Hestia.”

“Of course. I can take care of trash like her quickly enough, can’t 1?” Hestia smiled back “All you have to do is stand back when I’m around.”

Grace felt like she was loved unconditionally, seeing how Hestia had defended her, and her gaze was filled with adoration.

Now, this was what family was supposed to be like. She didn’t need to curry favor by trading gifts for affection, and they would stand up for her even if she hadn’t done anything for them.
