NovelEnglishChapter 59 The mockery was evident in that elderly woman's smile.
Lara usually had a sharp tongue but she felt embarrassed by the villager's disdainful remarks. She hung her head as she walked beside Willow.
It was a fact that Samantha was doing better than Willow. She had both money and influence. Not only did she give her family a big house, but she would also always show up in a luxury car and branded clothing.
Their family, on the other hand, was dressed in cheap clothing and had to walk back home.

Her daughter couldn't compare to Samantha at all.
Willow was already in a bad mood when Samantha's car almost hit her earlier.
Her expression immediately darkened after hearing the villager's comment. She didn't plan to respond at first because she didn't like comparing people. Everyone had different needs, standards, and views on whether or not their life was alright. There was no need for comparisons.
She passed through the village square with her luggage on her back.
Samantha said condescendingly, "Wills, look at all that luggage. Your back and shoulders must hurt. We both live in the capital, so you could've calledand I could've given you guys a ride back. It's alright if you don't have a car. You have me, your dear cousin." The elderly woman who had been complimenting Samantha chimed in, "Exactly, Willow. You should learn from your cousin. Look at her, not only does she have a rich boyfriend, but her business is also booming, making her the richest person in our village. She's even kind enough to be nice to a poor relative like you and offer you a ride. You shouldn't be so stubborn. You should rely on others when you have nothing. It isn't shameful at all for you to hitch a ride in your cousin's car." Willow stopped in her tracks. She held her head high and said, "Why would you think that I have nothing? Aren't these four children mine? Moreover..." She cast Samantha a meaningful look before chuckling. "You shouldn't judge a book by its cover. How can you be sure that she's kind?" After all, it was Samantha who schemed against Willow and slept with her boyfriend.
She even tarnished Willow's reputation in Hughes Corporation by claiming that Willow had a criminal record. How could such a vile woman be described as kind? Samantha was actually a vicious character who was good at putting on a facade.
Yet, the elderly woman was a snob who valued social status.
She sneered when Willow proudly mentioned her four children.
Disdain and contempt were evident in her eyes.

However, not only did Willow becpregnant out of wedlock, but she even gave birth to four children! No one knew who the father was. Other people would be too ashamed to chif it were them.
So it was really shameless of Willow to feel proud about her children.
"Stop making excuses and just admit that you're poor. You deserve to be poor forever for trampling on other people's goodwill, that elderly woman retorted on Samantha's behalf. To think that Willow would say that she shouldn't judge a book by its cover and suspect Samantha's goodwill. It was evident that she was trying to get in Samantha's good graces by being direct with her insults.
Lara was embarrassed earlier for being poor, but Samantha and that woman had said too much.
They triggered her temper, so she looked up and barked at the woman, "So what if we're poor? Did we ask you for a bite to eat or water to drink?" "Well, no..."
"Then shut up if you have nothing better to say! Old people should accumulate virtue through words or ve you'd end up dying alone," Lara responded angrily. No one could compare to Lara when it cto sharp-tongued retorts. She rarely spoke, but no one in the village could win against her when she was provoked.
