章 354: The Dispute

Nathan's defiance enraged Evelyn instantly. "How dare you speak to your elders like that, you ungrateful child!"

Seeing Evelyn's anger, Ava became worried and tugged at Nathan's sleeve. "Nathan..."

Evelyn noticed Ava's subtle gesture and was reminded of what had happened to Natalie. Poor Natalie, after going through such an ordeal, was neglected, while Ava, the one responsible, was being protected after just a few words. The stark contrast made Evelyn feel deeply uncomfortable, and she found Ava particularly hypocritical.

"And now you're pretending to be the good one? If it weren't for your manipulations, Nathan wouldn't be treating me this way. Ever since you entered the Ford family, Nathan has become increasingly rebellious, constantly defying me for your sake! Now, you've caused Natalie to suffer as well. I used to think you were a kind and generous child, but it turns out your methods are despicable!"
