Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim by Dream Fish

Chapter 179

What needed to be said must be said.

This was Angela's home. If she couldn't even say a few harsh words or send unwelcome guests away, then what was the point?

"You ungrateful woman!" Natalie shot to her feet, pointing a trembling finger at Angela. "How dare you try to kick me out? I'm your grandmother!"

She stopped herself. No matter how furious she was, she wouldn't stoop to saying something that vile.

"You... You..." Natalie's face contorted with rage, and she suddenly collapsed, fainting on the spot.
