Sophia smiled and looked at the red marks on Alma's face.
"Dad, Mom, Alma have already done this. Even if you beat her and scold her now, it will be useless."
Then, Sophia sat on the sofa, leisurely eating the watermelon on the table.
Alma looked at Sophia in anger.
Sophia and she were biological sisters. However, Sophia always added insult to her when she was in a sorry state. Her parents were the same. They all valued interests above all else. They did not regard her as their daughter at all. They only treated her as a tool to be used.
Sophia's appearance was better than hers. She was honey-lipped and was the target of those spoiled brats from the upper class. She was worse than Sophia in everything. Therefore, her parents never liked her. They even let her marry the old man who had divorced five times.
She saved Kylee, and Kylee was very fond of her. She formed a relationship with the Cordova family and her parents treated her better. They gave her the best, hoping that she could marry into the Cordova family and become Mrs. Cordova.
In this way, her parents naturally gave Sophia the cold shoulder. Sophia felt uncomfortable and deliberately provoked Alma.
Bryson had never given her a chance, so her parents gradually became cold towards her.
And this time, she was on the news headlines all of a sudden. Her parents' dissatisfaction with her completely burst out. They felt that they invested so much into her, but in the end, she made them lose face.
Sophia was waiting to throw stones at her when she was down and out.
They were all her family, but when she was sad, they still rubbed salt into her wounds.
Jeff's phone rang.
He immediately gave everyone a look, telling them not to speak, and then picked up the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Reiss."
"I was just about to call you. I didn't expect you to call me."
"You saw the news as well." Jeff's gaze turned cold. When he looked at Alma, his gaze was as sharp as a blade, "It's like this. There was a misunderstanding..."
"What..."
After a few more words, Mr. Reiss hung up, and Jeff looked terrible.
Jeff ruthlessly threw a piece of watermelon at Alma's face. The red watermelon splashed all over Alma's body, making the already miserable Alma even more miserable.
"Look at what you have done! Now Mr. Reiss called and said that he has seen the news and intends to cancel the cooperation with us. It is all your fault!"
Alma's body trembled under Jeff's angry scolding. She did not dare to retort.
Seeing that Alma only trembled and did not speak, Jeff became even angrier, "Immediately get out of here. Don't let me see you again."
Alma ran upstairs with tears.
When Alma ran upstairs, she heard Jeff tell the servants, "Don't let her eat dinner today."
"Yes!"
Alma ran to her door, closed the door, and locked herself inside.
After running to the room, she rushed into the bathroom. She turned on the shower. She began to rub her body with clothes on, trying to wash away the marks left by the disgusting man on her body.
She had never felt so dirty.
Thinking about the humiliation she had suffered and the accusation her family had against her, Alma shed tears of despair.
She was crying loudly in the bathroom, hating the injustice fate.
At the same time, a strong hatred rose in her heart.
Last night, when Bryson pushed her away, he shouted that she was not Audrey.
Because she was not Audrey, he pushed her away. Otherwise ... she would have appeared side by side on the news headlines with Bryson. It would never be like this now.
Everything was because of Audrey.
Audrey once told her that she stayed by Kylee's side as Bryson's sister.
Kylee didn't know that Audrey wasn't her biological granddaughter.
If Kylee knew that Audrey was lying, would she still let Audrey be with Bryson?
She was destined not to be with Bryson now. Even if she got her retribution in the future, it would not be worse than the current situation.
Even if she had to go to hell, she had to drag Audrey along with her.
She rubbed the skin on her body fiercely. Her skin turned red, but she didn't care.
...
At nine o'clock in the morning, Alma called Kylee. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Soon, Kylee's gentle voice came from inside.
"Hey."
"Hello, is this Madam Cordova? I am Alma."
Kylee smiled, "I know it's you. I have your number."
It seemed that Kylee didn't know about the morning news.
"Madam Cordova, are you at the mansion now?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"I made some snacks for you to try."
"Alright, then come over here."
"Yes, I'll be there in a while." Alma paused for a moment before saying, "By the way, Mr. Bryson shouldn't be home right now, right?"
"Don't mention him. He didn't go home last night. He called in the morning and said that he was busy with the company last night and would come back tonight. What could be so busy with that he couldn't even go home?"
"That is even better."
"What? What is better?"
Alma quickly explained, "I mean, I'll be right there. Madam Cordova, wait for me at home."
"Alright!"
After the call, Alma's eyes revealed a vicious gaze.
Bryson did not go home last night, so he must have gone to Audrey's place.
She dressed herself up before walking out of the house.
When she went downstairs, her parents were no longer in the living room. Only Sophia sat there, making calls with her classmates.
Seeing Alma coming downstairs, Sophia raised her voice and shouted with a smile, "Hey, isn't this my noble sister? Why aren't you reflecting in your room? Why do you suddenly come downstairs?"
Alma gritted her teeth and endured Sophia's sarcasm. She walked past the living room and walked to the door.
After leaving the house, she hailed a taxi and went to the hotel to get her phone before heading to the Cordova Mansion.
Along the way, Alma felt uncomfortable from being stared at by the driver. After arriving, she couldn't wait to get out of the car.
The housekeeper, Everett, saw Alma appear outside the mansion and immediately called Bryson.
"Hello, Mr. Bryson. Miss Alma suddenly came to visit."
