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!"

"You are Dexter and Trevor's grandmother, not mine. You didn't raise me or do anything for me, yet you demand my unwavering respect and obedience? And worse, obedience that is unreasonable? How does that work?" Angela retorted with a calm smile.

She was not in a good mood today. Anyone who crossed her would get an earful —even if it meant offending this old hag.

"Don't say that, Angela. Grandma only wants what's best for us, for the family to be united and harmonious." Trevor quickly stepped in, supporting Natalie by the arm. His voice even carried a slight rasp, as if he were truly heartbroken.

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.
