Yelena was haughty. The few kindhearted neighbors were helpless and could only gulp it down with their fists clenched.

“Faster!” Yelena vented on the movers. “These stupid things aren’t that precious! Let them be broken! That too. What’s that box for? Throw it away!”

Cordelia and Carter rushed upstairs.

Although Cordelia did not know what the box contained either, she had seen her mother’s care and regard for the box. Even when she was in the hospital, barely sane, she still reminded her to take care of the box during the rare times she was herself.

Cordelia dashed over and knocked the workers away to guard the box with her body.

“Do not throw it!”

Yelena froze before her expression turned mocking and dark.

“Why not? This house is my place after it’s emptied! I don’t allow others’ filth in my territory!”

“Nonsense!” Carter stepped up and pointed at Yelena. “This is our home! You’re intruding! I’m calling the police on you!”

Cordelia looked at the mess. They did not have a lot of furniture at home, to begin with, but the place was currently a mess. Her mother’s clothes were ransacked and stepped on, now stained.

Cordelia felt a pinch in her nose as rage and grievances rushed up to her. She slowly got up and stared at Yelena, asking her, “What right do you have to do this? This is my home!”

“Your home?” Yelena cackled and told her triumphantly, “Not anymore! I need a studio. Not too close to the city center or it’ll be too noisy, but it can’t be too far away, or it’ll be an inconvenience. After choosing around, this place’s location and size are just nice. Dad’s already agreed to give this place to me!”

Cordelia clenched her fists and did her best to stop herself from shaking. What a joke!

If Yelena wanted a studio, William could rent her an entire office floor at any time. Would they have to cause this drama in this mid-range residence?

Yelena was just doing this to force her and her mother to a dead end!
