Chapter 498

“Penelope! She’s the reason this happened to me! I… I won’t let her get away with

it!”

Zebulon pressed his lips together. “I warned you not to go head-to-head with

Penelope. You can’t win.”

“Just because you’re a fucking coward, you think I am too?”

“Rebecca, that’s enough!”

“I was attacked! If you were a man, you’d go settle the score with the people who did this to me, not stand here yelling at me!”

“We’re divorced!”

“You’re not a man!”

“Get out of here, now! You’re not welcome in my home!”

“Is this your home? If you had any ambition, you wouldn’t be squatting in someone else’s house!”

“Rebecca!”

“Did I say anything that wasn’t true?”

Their shouting woke up Yolanda. The little girl walked to the top of the stairs, rubbing her eyes.

“Daddy, Mommy, are you fighting again?”

Seeing his daughter, Zebulon quickly lowered his voice. “No, we were just talking a little loudly…”

“Yolanda, my life is so miserable!”

Rebecca, however, ignored him and burst into tears in front of her daughter.

Yolanda saw that her mother was hurt and rushed down the stairs.

“Mommy, what happened? Who hurt you?”

“My darling, you’re the only one who cares about Mommy! Everything I do, I do for you, but your father doesn’t understand! Penelope, that bitch, do you know what she did to me? She threw me to those men…”

“Rebecca, shut up!”

Zebulon clamped a hand over Rebecca’s mouth. How could she say such things to their daughter, without any regard for whether she could handle it or the scars it would leave on her young mind.

“Mmph! Let go… Mmph!”

Rebecca struggled against Zebulon’s hand as he tried to drag her out.

“Daddy, don’t hurt Mommy! Mommy, what’s wrong?”

Yolanda was terrified, not knowing what to do.

Mrs. Sullivan ran out then, first taking her granddaughter upstairs before pulling them apart.

“Rebecca, we can tolerate you coming here to make a scene in the middle of the night, but if you scare Yolanda, don’t you feel any remorse?”

“I feel for her, but who feels for me?” Rebecca yelled at Mrs. Sullivan.

Mrs. Sullivan had long lost her previous sharp edges and imposing demeanor. She just shook her head and sighed helplessly.

“I’m thirsty. Get me some water.”

Zebulon stopped his mother, shouting at Rebecca, “Go back to your own home!”

“I want some water!”

“I told you to get out!”

“Zebulon, don’t forget. While you were in prison these past few years, I was the one supporting your family! You should be eternally grateful to me Your whole family

me!

Should be on the knees thank z nat

Zebulon grabbed Rebecca and threw her out the door.

“Don’t ever come back here. Don’t see Yolanda again. She doesn’t have a mother like you!”

“You think ‘m tainted now?”

Rebecca let out a sharp laugh. “Ift

hadn’t slept with those frien, where would I have gotten the money to support your family?”

“Rebecca, shut your mouth!”

“Zebulon, I came here to warn you. Don’t get all bewitched the moment you see

Penelope. If you ruin my plans, I’ll kill you!”

She said, pointing back at the villa, “This house is mine! I’m getting it!”

Zebulon didn’t want to deal with her and turned to go inside.

“Zebulon, don’t be so high and mighty! Without this villa, you’ll all be out on the street! Let’s be clear who

am Doing this for? I’m doing it fo Your
