After playing the recording, the entire second floor was silent.
Warren looked at Yvonne in disbelief.
He hadnât expected his gentle, elegant sister to speak to his wife like that in private.
He looked at Maureen again.
In the past, it had always seemed to him that his wife had a bad temper. She was not sensible and did not know how to be humble. After all, in her family she was pampered like a little princess.
However, her eyes were red at that moment. It was obvious that she had suffered many grievances.
Yes.
Although his wife had a bad temper, she had always been open and straightforward. If he hadnât forced her to that extent, how could they have argued like that?
Maureen had thought the affair would be like any other quarrel in the past, making Warren feel that she was not sensible enough. She hadnât expected the situation to take a turn in her favor.
He looked at Nora in surprise.
Her eyes turned red again.
She looked at Warren in a trembling voice. âDid you hear that, is that about an article of clothing?â
Warrenâs heart ached so much that his expression changed. He walked quickly to stand in front of Maureen and looked at Yvonne. âYvonne, so thatâs what you think!â
Yvonne bit her lip, wanting to explain. âWarren, Iâ¦â
However, Warren had already interrupted her. âIn the past, no matter what Maureen said about you, I would always be on your side. I didnât expect you to be a two-faced person. Youâve said one thing in front of me and another behind my back. My wife is not someone you can humiliate.â
He pointed at Yvonne angrily. âI never expected you to be such a selfish person!â
Yvonne took a deep breath and said anxiously, âWarren, thatâs not what I meant. Iâ¦â
However, Warren was already ignoring her. He directly put his arm around Maureenâs shoulder and said, âHoney, Iâm sorry. I didnât know they treated you like that at home. Itâs too disgusting. We donât need to live under someone elseâs roof. Itâs not like we donât have a home outside. Letâs goâ.
Yvonne didnât dare lash out at Warren.
It didnât matter, Warren was still a member of the Smiths. Besides, she was wrong to exploit this affair.
Ian didnât have a son, so even though Ianâs generation had separated, his next-generation nieces and nephews all lived at the Smith mansion.
Yvonne was an adopted daughter. Sooner or later, she would be married off. This family would belong to Joel sooner or later.
Yvonne could bully Maureen and even despise Nora, but she couldnât despise Warren!
She rushed forward again and grasped Warrenâs arm. He called out to him in an intimate tone, âBrother, Iâ¦â
Before she could finish, Warren pushed her back a few steps.
Warrenâs face was cold. âDonât. Donât call me that. Youâre the eldest daughter, Iâm just from the side family. I donât dare let you call me brother.â
Yvonne didnât dare lash out at Warren. She could only look at Nora and scold her directly. âWhy are you so despicable, you actually recorded it!â
Nora narrowed her eyes. âIf I hadnât recorded it, how could I have broken your costume?â
Yvonne was about to go crazy after being ripped apart.
She was about to break down. She was no longer pretending to be a pure and innocent girl. He pointed at her angrily. âItâs because of you that my relationship with them became so bad. Nora, youâre actually more pretentious than me! More manipulative!â
Nora: ââ¦â
He raised an eyebrow and glared at her. â¿Y?â
Yvonne was furious. Ignoring the fact that Warren was still at her side, she pointed at them and scolded, âOkay, okay. Iâm an outsider, right? Iâm not a blood relative, so youâre bullying me together!â
âBut Nora, do you think you can be so smug just because youâre a member of the Smiths and have Smith blood running through your veins? After all, youâre just an illegitimate daughter of the side family! Your mother was immoral and seduced two brothers at the same time, do you really think youâre so great?â
Slap!
Nora suddenly slapped her!
Yvonne was stunned. When she came to her senses, she saw Noraâs cold expression and the anger in her eyes.
Yvonne was stunned as she touched her face before she reacted and took a step back. âYou dare to hit me, you dare to hit me?â
Nora slapped her face and felt her palms were a little dirty. Her voice was cold and distant as she replied, âYou are not worthy to mention my mother.â
It didnât matter, her mother had passed away.
As a young woman, she was wrong to point the finger at her eldest.
Yvonne bit her lips, fearing he would make a move again. He pointed at her and roared, âWhy wonât you let anyone mention it, are you embarrassed too? Then bugger off like Warren.â
These words infuriated Warren. âItâs my own freedom and decision to leave â who are you to kick me out?â
Yvonne sneered. âI am Mrs. Smith! This family belongs to my father, AND you are trespassers! And that Louis is an outsider, too! Get out, all of you! Get out of my house!â
Hearing this, Nora smiled. She was about to say something when a cold voice suddenly reached them from behind. âIn my opinion, the person who should leave is you!â
They turned again and saw Joel, who had rushed back after taking care of some company business, slowly making his way upstairs with an icy expression.
He was wearing a black suit. His face, which had always been friendly and smiling, was now extremely stern.
The moment he appeared, Yvonne was instantly mute, as if someone had pressed a mute button.
Ever since she was young she had been very afraid of him.
Joelâs handsome face was covered with frost as he stared at Yvonne. His tone was very serious. âYou disappoint me too much, how did Uncle Ian raise a daughter like you?â
Yvonne was speechless at his stern words.
Joel spoke again. âAt first I wanted to wait for Uncle Ian to wake up before dealing with you. I seem to have made a mistake. Lucy, come here.â
Lucy got up hurriedly. âMr. Joel, Iâm here.â
Joel said coldly, âPack Yvonneâs bags and take her to the villa on the outskirts. Sheâll be staying there for a while.â
Lucy nodded immediately. âYes.â
With that, she asked tentatively, âShall I prepare only summer clothes?â
It was summer.
Joel narrowed his eyes. âYouâll need more clothes. After all, there are four seasons in a year!â
What he meant was that he wanted Yvonne to live in the suburbs forever.
Lucy was delighted, but it didnât show on her face. She lowered her head. âYes, Iâll send Miss Yvonne first. Then Iâll send her the clothes.â
With that, Lucy called for two bodyguards. Seeing them arrive, Yvonne finally came to her senses and hurriedly shouted, âJoel, big brother, you canât treat me like this. Iâm Daddyâs daughter. Iâm daddyâs daughter.â

A day later, Nora received a message from Lilyâ¦. âThe DNA results are out.â
