Chapter 508
Smack!
All at once, the living room became eerily silent!
Felicity clutched her face with a look of disbelief. Did she just hit me? How
dare a Quillen hit me?
Samantha didn’t care about Felicity’s reaction. She pointed at the door and
screamed, “Get out! Go back to your Lenoir family! You’re not welcome here!
Don’t stick around to piss off my father!”
None of the other women dared to get a word in edgewise.
Mackenzie was caught in an awkward position too. Although she didn’t side
with Felicity, the latter was still her mother!
“How dare you?” Felicity dropped all attempts at civility and brought her hand
up to slap Samantha right back.
I’ve had enough! I’ve had enough of feeling like I’m living under someone
else’s roof–of having so little dignity and respect! I’m from an influential
family too! Why must I be treated like I’m beneath the Quillen women?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSamantha didn’t think Felicity would have to gall to hit her back and couldn’t
react in time.
Nevertheless, Felicity did not manage to slap Samantha after all, because
Alfred caught her hand and held onto it firmly.
“That’s enough, Madam! Under these circumstances, please don’t do
anything that will aggravate Old Mr. Quillen’s condition! Please return to your
room!”
Alfred shot a look at the household staff to get them to take Felicity back to
her room by force.
Felicity’s eyes were bloodshot. She had a look of hatred and resentment.
Although she didn’t say anything aloud, one thought echoed over and over
-again inside her mind until it threatened to explode!
This is not my home. They’re not my family!
This is not my home. They’re not my family!!
This is not my home. They’re not my family!!!
During this time, Sarah stayed on the sidelines and watched the show in its
entirety.
Once Felicity was forced back to her room, Sarah finally sighed and put on a
look of sorrow as she walked over to Felicity’s room.
“Mom!” Sarah closed the door behind her and called out to Felicity.
Felicity didn’t respond. She was still busy tossing things across the room. “I’m
so mad! Why do I have such a hard life?”
“Not only did I have to become a widow so soon, but here I am being bullied
by the entire Quillen family! Why must I live with that? There’s not a single
decent person in this family!”
Felicity’s words didn’t sit too well with Sarah. She quickly grabbed Felicity’s
hands to stop her from throwing things and said, “I’m also part of the Quillen
family, aren’t I, Mom? I’m your daughter!”
At last, Felicity stopped. Her body trembled as tears slowly streamed down
her cheeks.
“Tell me, Sarah. Do you think it was wrong of me to tell Emmanuel to leave
Mackenzie? I only did it for the Quillen family’s sake and Mackenzie’s sake too!
How can they say such things about me?”
Felicity felt so aggrieved that her tears kept flowing. “Yes, I did take the Quillen

family’s resources to help the Lenoir family, but your grandpa took everything
away from me already. I’m a Lenoir. Is it so wrong of me to help my family?
What did I do that’s so wrong?”
“If I did something I shouldn’t have, then let the law punish me! Why must
they torment me this way?”
As Sarah took in Felicity’s venting, she suddenly hugged her mother and
patted her on the shoulder to comfort her. “You didn’t do anything wrong,
Mom. I understand your hardships. You still have me, right? I told you that I’ll
help you!”
Felicity opened her tear–filled eyes and looked at Sarah before abruptly
hugging the only daughter who took her side.
However, Sarah’s gaze slowly turned a little strange.
Meanwhile, after leaving Quillen residence, Emmanuel didn’t head back to
Yociam Residence.
He had to locate his master and save Claudette in one month.
He couldn’t allow the Lenoir family to continue using that as an excuse to
attack the Quillen family.
Furthermore, he couldn’t let Claudette die!
Fortunately, he heard back from Eve the next day.
