Chapter 101: Birthday Present

Smack!

Miranda felt her vision darken and then, a clear and loud sound rang out right after. Before she knew it, her head had been pushed to the side. It was only when she felt a hot and stinging pain that she realized that someone had hit her.

She turned back abruptly to see Nora standing in front of her. Nora glanced at her carelessly with her cat-like eyes and said, “Aunt Melissa’s not hitting you because she’s a cultivated lady.”

Then, she raised her eyebrows provocatively and said coldly, “However, I’m a wild child with a bad temper, so I can’t stand anyone behaving wildly in front of me.”

“…”

Her attitude intimidated Miranda. The young woman looked thin and weak, and her fingers slim and slender, yet there was a lot of force in the slap she delivered. It was to the extent that she felt like she was still seeing stars.

Miranda took a step back and put some distance between Nora and herself. She held her cheek with her hand and glared at Melissa furiously as she shouted, “Melissa! Are you just going to watch her get violent with her elders?! Make her apologize! Otherwise, I’ll never let this matter rest!”

Melissa’s cheek was still hurting fiercely.

She was a learned person.

She had never liked getting violent so crudely whenever she met with a problem, and she hated arguing with uncultured people even more. The way Miranda always behaved like a shrew in the streets made her feel at a loss the most.

Moreover, she was family, so she didn’t want to make things too ugly. That was why she had allowed herself to be bullied and suppressed for so many years.

But in the moment that Nora hit Miranda just now, she finally experienced the joy of revenge, especially when she saw how Miranda didn’t dare to say anything despite being so furious. Melissa gave a wry smile with her eyes reddened. Then, she straightened her back, looked calmly at Miranda, and replied aggressively, “In that case, shouldn’t you apologize to me first?”

Miranda, who was lost for words, stamped her foot angrily after a brief moment. She pointed at Melissa and ranted angrily, “I came here with good intentions to persuade you to invest in real estate, yet you’re hitting me instead? I’m going back to tell Farrell about this right now, so that he’ll know what kind of person you are!”

Miranda left immediately after saying that.

A sarcastic smile appeared on Melissa’s countenance as she stared at her from the back.

Back then, she was well-known for being gentle and intellectual and was no wimp.

She had been so tolerant of Miranda all these years only because she was her sister-in-law, whereas Melissa herself was just a daughter of the Woods who had married into another family. She didn’t want to put her elder brother in a spot, so she hadn’t said anything.

Little did she expect that Miranda now thought of her as so much of a wimp that she even dared to hit her.
