Chapter 262 Isabella Visits
At this point, Veda just couldn't hold back her feelings anymore.

You question everything she does, investigate her every move! Is this fun for you?"
"And Mom, don't you feel like you've lost your freedom? Sure, you might be attached to the wealth and status of the Smith family, but you're also just hanging on, waiting to get money from me and Michael when you're old!"
"That's why you're so desperate to find me a husband-you're insecure, you don't trust Michael's abilities, and you don't believe Grandpa will share the inheritance with you, so you're in a rush to tie me down!"
