Sylphiette glared at Nicole, “Mom is your stepmother. How can you do this to her?”
Stepmother?
Nicole sneered, “She keeps calling me ‘b*tch.’ Does she really think of me as a daughter?”
“You! She is still your elder!”
“Elder? Right, she fed me leftovers and treated me like a servant. In the winter when it was freezing cold, she would pour cold water into my quilt while I was feverish. A stepmother who tried to freeze me to death… In comparison, what I just did was nothing!”
“You!” Sylphiette was speechless.
“You b*tch, don’t you dare slander me. I didn’t do any of that.”
“Whether you did it or not, only you and I know. If you don’t leave now, I’ll do all those things to you now.”
From the bedroom, Maya and Nina watched Nicole in astonishment with wide-opened eyes. Mommy is awesome too.
“Such a wicked woman. She bullied mommy. Maya, shall we teach them a lesson?”
“But Nina, Mommy told us not to go out lest we mess things up. Since Mommy is safe for now, let’s just keep watch.”
Nina thought what Maya said made sense. She’s right, what if we mess things up for mommy? As such, the two sisters continued to watch through the cracks in the door.
Sylphiette did not expect Nicole to take such a firm stand. If she had known earlier, she would have brought some helpers to force her into submission.
She bent down to pull Sylvia to her feet. Initially, Sylvia refused to get up as she planned to pretend to be seriously injured in order to blackmail Nicole.
Nicole glanced at her, feeling amused. In the next moment, she took out an apple and sat down opposite them on a sofa. Slowly, she started to munch on the fruit.
She did not even look in Sylvia’s direction, paying no heed to her antics.
Sylvia sat on the floor and bawled for a long time. After a while, she became uncertain if she would get any results.
“Mom, look at the place she’s living in. It’s not much different from a beggar’s den. Perhaps, she really has no money. We have to think of something else.” Sylphiette whispered in her ear.
Sylvia was furious. It’s only been a few years but it seems like this b*tch has learned a lot.
After Sylphiette helped her up, Sylvia was still feeling angry. She had never been treated so badly before.
To make it worse, the person treating her so badly was the same person who had been under her control before, Nicole.
I must make her pay for her actions.
Sylvia looked around the furnishings in the room and suddenly walked towards the TV angrily.
Realizing that she must be up to no good, Nicole hurried to stop her, but Sylphiette grabbed her wrist tightly.
“Nicole, Mom is our elder, you can’t do this.”
“Let go!”
Nicole struggled hard but Sylphiette’s hands were like clamps as she refused to release Nicole.
Just as the two of them were struggling, the TV suddenly fell to the ground with a loud crash.
The screen was shattered into fragments.
Sylvia sneered, gave Sylphiette a knowing glance, and went to search for other targets to vent her anger.
There were tears in Maya’s eyes, “The TV’s broken, what shall we watch from now on?”
“They’re really horrible! We should have taught them a lesson just now.”
Nina gritted her teeth and walked out with the feather duster seemingly poised for a duel to the death.
“Let go of me!”
Taking advantage of Nicole who was still struggling with all her strength, Sylphiette suddenly aimed a kick at her stomach, taking Nicole by surprise.
The sharp heel was only mere centimeters away from Nicole’s lower abdomen when she reacted, dodging aside with lightning speed. That was close!
Nicole knew clearly what kind of woman Sylphiette was under her innocent facade and she was prepared for it.
“Mommy, I’ll help you!”
Uh-oh!
Nina will get beaten up.
Just when things seemed to be spiraling out of control, an idea came to Nicole in her moment of panic. In the next second, she bit into Sylphiette’s arm with force.
“Aargh!” Sylphiette cried out in pain.
Hearing the yell, Sylvia flung the teacups in her hands onto the floor.
“You b*tch, you dare bite Sylphiette? I’ll beat your daughter to death!”
As she spoke, she snatched the feather duster from Nina’s hand. In the next instant, she had raised it high and was going to bring it down on Nina’s body.
At that moment, Nicole’s heart jumped to her throat.
