    Chapter 423 Suck It Up


    Susan, Roxanne, and Marnie had dropped by and visited Vi No. 2.


    As they settled onto the sofas, they scanned the ce, taking in the luxurious surroundings.


    They had heard of Imperial Gardens before.


    .94%


    This neighborhood was said to be the most luxurious residential area in Kingsview. Its residents weren’t


    just wealthy; they were powerful, influential figures.


    Roxanne was unhappy ever since she learned Neera resided in this neighborhood.


    The opulence of the vi further deepened her resentment. Inparison, the Garcia residence felt


    ordinary, even mediocre.


    If her family wasn’t qualified to live in such grandeur, how on earth did Neera, whom she considered


    lowly, get to enjoy suchvishforts?


    She was consumed by jealousy, and it drove her nuts.


    Susan was no different, her eyes were overflowing with envy.


    Marnie, not one to hold back, scoffed loudly, her disdain clear, “Neera knows how to live the high life,


    doesn’t she? Squandering ANXIN Group’s money to live in such a pce!”


    Adriana scowled at the usation. She was ready to jump to Neera’s defense, but a young voice rang


    out before she could.


    Harvey said, “Mommy bought this house with her own money. She hasn’t touched a single cent of


    ANXIN Group!”


    Susan and her daughter were dubious with his words.


    “You’re lying. How could she afford such a pricey house if she didn’t use ANXIN Group’s money? What


    could she possibly have done to earn this much?”


    The mother and daughter both wore contemptuous expressions, and their tones were filled with


    sarcasm.


    In defense of their mother, Sammy retorted, “My mommy can do that! You can’tpare yourself toContent protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    her. Even if she didn’t spend any of ANXIN Group’s money, she would still make a few billion dors a


    year, which is nothing for her. Plus, she gets dividends from ANXIN Group’s shares. Before you belittle


    someone, take a look at yourself, okay?


    Penny chimed in defiantly, “You’re projecting your own limitations onto my mother. Just because you


    can’t do it doesn’t mean she can’t. Please, don’tpare her with you!”


    The siblings took turns firing back. Their words dripped with sarcasm and venom.


    Roxanne’s face flushed with indignation, unable to contain herself, she shot back.


    “And you believe boasting about supposed billions means she truly earns that much? At such a young


    age, you’ve already mastered the art of lying! It’s easy to make ims, but can you prove them? You


    don’t think talking about your dreams will make theme true, do you?


    She scolded the kids arrogantly, “I don’t know what Neera has been teaching you! It’s one thing to talk


    a lot of cr ap, but to act rudely toward your elders is another. It’s clear where you get your audacity


    from, the apple truly


    When Neera walked into the house, she heard what was going on.


    Her expression darkened, and her gaze was cold. She hastily strode into the living room without


    removing her


    shoes.


    “You speak of apples and trees? So, you’re familiar with this saying?” Neera shot back.


    “Your mothercked moral integrity and became a mistress, you have replicated her path. And yet,


    you’re bold enough to cast judgment here?”


    She was on the offensive from the start, striking where it hurt most.


    Susan and Roxanne’splexion changed drastically, and they were enraged.


    “What kind of nonsense are you babbling?”


    Neera said indifferently, “Did I say anything wrong? Don’t you know how your mother became a


    Garcia? You show up at my home uninvited and berate my children. Do you have any shame?”


    “You!”


    Susan and Roxanne were rendered speechless, searching for words to retaliate.


    Marnie was indignant. She smacked the sofa’s armrest hard and scolded, “Neera, how dare you speak


    with your elder in such a rude manner!”


    “I always speak my mind, you should suck it up!” Neera replied icily, her words sharp, when she


    confronted Marnie.


    The triplets quickly walked over and asked concernedly, “Mommy, are you alright? Why’d youe


    back so soon?”


    Adriana also approached Neera and examined her paleplexion. She asked, “Why didn’t you wait


    for me to pick you up?”


    “I didn’t feelfortable staying in the hospital, I needed to be home,” Neera replied.


    Without turning her head, she shot them a cold look.


    She asked, “Do you have any other business here? If not, I suggest you leave. You are not wee


    here.”


    Roxanne was mad, but when she thought about why they were there, she was able to hold back her


    anger for


    a while.


    She countered, “Do you think I want toe here? If it weren’t for picking up Aunt Adriana, I wouldn’t


    have set foot in this ce!”


    Hearing this, Neera gave a sarcastic grin.


    She ridiculed, “Is my house smaller than yours? Do you think my house can’t amodate Aunt


    Adriana? Is it necessary to create such drama just to fetch her?”
