Chapter 699 The Past


    Sylvia''s POV:


    The fact that my mother had been bullied ever since she was a kid came as a surprise to me.

    This was because she seemed to be a really courageous and strong woman to me growing up. She


    was always happy and brave.


    I didn''t expect that she would have such a troubled past.


    "Poor Olivia. If I hadn''t protected her, she wouldn''t have been able to grow up safely, let alone give


    birth to you," Noreen remarked in a very superior tone. She then eyed me distastefully and


    continued, "You look just like your mother, except for your eyes which you got from your father, that


    stinky werewolf."


    I tightened my lips and remained silent. There was no joy in suddenly meeting my condescending


    aunt, who appeared out of nowhere.


    Noreen had no regard for my feelings as she continued, "Although Olivia and I have the same


    mother, my father is a powerful wizard, while hers is merely a useless werewolf. Since then, she


    has been the object of everyone''s scorn. No respectable member of the family would ever consider


    weing a low-ss hybrid.


    Since she was born, everyone unconsciously disregarded Olivia. At first, my mother still held out


    hope for her. But she eventually gave up after learning that Olivia''s witch bloodline was quelled by


    the werewolf bloodline. Only I wanted to talk to that poor woman."


    Noreen''s statements demonstrated her terrible personality and haughty attitude. This woman only


    treated my mother like a cat or a dog.


    But she was too arrogant to even admit it.


    "At that time, Olivia was the worst student in her ss. Whenever she failed a test, her teacher


    would always call our mother. So on the day of her exam, I locked Olivia in the wine cer. She


    avoided a failing grade by just not taking the test. Although she was sick for over six months as a


    result of it and couldn''t attend the school anymore, at least she was able to avoid my mother''s


    punishment. But unfortunately, your mother didn''t appreciate all my efforts. She hadn''t said a word


    to me since then!"


    Upon hearing what she said, I was speechless. I didn''t know whether Noreen was smart or really


    just in stupid.


    The wine cer was usually so cold that a strong adult werewolf couldn''t bear to stay there for long,


    let alone an underage she-wolf.


    But Noreen seemed to be a little paranoid.


    She yelled at the top of her lungs all of a sudden. "I was so kind to your mother, but she didn''t know


    how to be grateful! When she was 18 and her wolf awakened, she ran away from home."


    I couldn''t stand it anymore. I had to defend my mother. "She had the freedom to lead any kind of life


    she wanted. No one else has the right to interfere. She is not an object without emotions, and you


    don''t own her!"


    A deafening silence instantly engulfed the room.


    Except for the crackling sound of the candle, even the air was still.


    At that moment, I drew a deep breath and felt depressed. Those closely involved were eager to


    know the truth. But when the truth was brought to light, they were unwilling to ept it. This was


    exactly what I was going through right now. Everything was a disaster. I was in a bad mood, and my


    head was a mess.


    I''d rather get into a fight with Noreen than talk about the past right now.


    It didn''t matter who was in the wrong anymore. Yet the news still came as a bolt from the blue.


    Thinking that I had the ck witch bloodline in my body made me want to smash the walls and


    destroy everything here.


    But I knew that I shouldn''t act on impulse. Despite my initial agitation, I managed to get myself


    together to deal with my crafty aunt with optimism.


    Noreen was enveloped in the darkness, and yet her face was calm. After staring at me for a


    moment, her lips stretched into a smile. "You and your mother are a lot alike in personality."


    I remained silent and restrained myself from giving her a solid thud.


    A smirk spread across Noreen''s face. "Olivia was indeed smart and capable. She was able to not


    only join a pack of werewolves and rise to the rank of Beta, but also find her own mate, your father.


    Don''t you want to know who he is?"
