Chapter 157 Jealousy
“Alright, you guys wait for me!” Rosalie knew that Dempsey wasn’t here, so it didn’t make sense for her
to continue pestering. “Hugh, don’t regret it!”
She red at Hugh fiercely and then turned around and walked away.
Just at that moment, Arlene pretended to casually stretch out her leg, causing Rosalie to immediately
take a tumble.
“With a chuckle, the maids watching the show burst intoughter.”
Rosalie grimaced in pain, and tears of humiliation streamed down her
cheeks.
She clenched her teeth, stood up, and walked away without looking
back.
She would take revenge!
After Rosalie left, Hugh was somewhat absent-minded.
Arlene noticed his abnormality and did not continue to inquire.
She was able to return to the yton family, thanks to Rosalie’s efforts. The biggest difference
between her and Rosalie was that she was obedient.
Dempsey persuaded her to marry Hugh, and she did her best to please him. Besides, Hugh was an
inte celebrity and not bad-looking. Even if there were some scandals, who hasn’t had a girlfriend
before?
She was clear-headed and knew that this was the only way back to the

yton family. She had to seize it.
“Hugh, we are getting engaged next week, and I would like to invite Ms. Lloyd over,” she gently tugged
at Hugh’s sleeve, her voice tender.
“Why call her over?” Hugh’s body tensed, and a hint of coldness appeared on his handsome face. Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.
Arlene was chilled by his cold expression.
These days, Hugh has left her with the impression of being gentle, nowhere near being fierce.
Hugh saw Arlene looking frightened, he restrained his coldness and smiled, saying, “She doesn’t get
along with your family, the yton family. Let’s not invite her to our engagement, I have a bad
impression of her.”
He remembered that udia had tricked him multiple times and knew about his rtionship with the
caregiver.
The invisible bomb that he feared the most was udia.
Fortunately, she severed ties with the Friedan family and became associated with the yton family.
Although udia alone was not to be feared, it did not mean that he was willing to approach this
woman voluntarily.
Arlene, however, disagreed: “She was not at odds with the yton family, but with Rosalie.”
She had a long-term perspective. Although udia had severed ties with the Friedan family, she was,
after all, Edmond’s ex-wife.
Before the Lamont family, there was the Friedan family. This person had to win her over. Besides, the
enemy of my enemy is my friend. If
she became friends with udia, it would also benefit her own
position.
Hugh saw that she had made up her mind, with a furrowed brow, wanting to say something, but then he
saw Mrs. Zhang bringing
breakfast.
“Let’s have breakfast first, I made all of this,” Arlene said, turning toward the dining table.
Hugh saw the situation and had no choice but to give up.
Wyvernport, Hawk Heights, sunny and breezy.
A Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly drove into the parking lot, with people asionally eximing and
taking photos.
Several people sitting in the car had long been ustomed to it. In the exclusive elevator, Elva sat in a
wheelchair, being pushed by a young maid.
This is a maid specially hired by the Friedan family for her. She has already had an amputation and has
been fitted with a prosthetic limb, but she still needs some time to recover before she can walk like a
normal person.
Thomas stood with Ervin, surrounding her like her protectors.
Looking at herself in the mirror inside the elevator, Elva clenched her fingers tightly, for a moment
thinking she had returned to the past.
In the past, she used to be adored by the Friedan family, but now…
“Here we are.” As the elevator doors opened, Waldron rushed out like a gust of wind.
Ervin smiled apologetically, following closely behind.
Only Thomas and Derrick were still standing by Elva’s side.
The door was open, and when Thomas and his friends walked in, Waldron and Ervin were already
sitting on the balcony, starting to enjoy their tea.
Ever since Elva entered the door, her gaze wandered around. Such a t in Wyvernport would cost at
least tens of millions.
“I envy my sister so much. Ervin hasn’t even bought me a house after all these years!”
As soon as Elva spoke, udia couldn’t help but burst intoughter.
Derrick chuckled and said, “If you like it, Derrick will also give you a set next time.”
Waldron snorted twice and sarcastically said, “Then why don’t you also give udia a set?”
Derrick frowned, “Didn’t you guys give it to her?”
The implicit meaning is that there was no intention to give udia a gift.
Waldron sneered a few times in anger and nced at Elva sideways, saying, “This house was not
given by us, it was given by Horace.”
He didn’t intend to hide it from udia, anyway she would know sooner orter.
When Elva heard that it was from Horace, her face froze and her voice trembled slightly, “Why did
Horace send it to her?”
“Of course, it was a token of love!” Waldron’s lips curled up.
Elva’s face instantly turned pale.

Her liking for Horace was no secret to her family a long time ago, but Horace’s attitude was very clear.
Even though udia had already cut ties with the Friedan family, he still chose udia. He even
feared that she would have nowhere to live, so he gave her a house!
Jealousy, sadness, and pain were like little insects, crazily gnawing at her.
Waldron coldly stared at Derrick, who had the same frozen expression on his face. “What’s with that
expression of yours? Is it too much to ask for you to give udia a house, considering she’s your own
sister?”
Derrick pursed his lips and remained silent.
Biological sisters and adopted sisters, they have different names and their attitudes should also be
completely different.
Thinking about how Elva has taken over the family project now, while udia has given up her shares,
Derrick cleared his throat and said, “It’s not too much, just…..
“I didn’t need it,” udia refused coldly, “I don’t want everything that people give me.”
The implicit meaning is that even if Derrick were to give it, she would not want it.
Her words darkened Derrick’s face, and a hint of coldness pursed his thin lips.
Alright, we are all family, stop arguing and let’s have dinner first,” Thomas said with a gloomy face.
He thought udia would have a hard time outside and had to give in to him, but he didn’t expect
someone would give her a house.
Seeing her living in such afortable house, Thomas couldn’t help
but have a better impression of Horace.
This kid didn’te for udia’s identity.
The dishes on the wooden table were all home-cooked meals, but the aroma was already wafting, the
colors were beautiful, and they looked appetizing.
As everyone took their seats and prepared to start, udia whispered, “Wait a moment.”
Waldron’s hand holding the fork paused for a moment, and then he put it down and asked loudly,
“Sister, just say what you want to say. We are family, no need to be polite.”
Waldron’s joyful attitude left Thomas and Elva with numerous questions in their minds.
“Is there any good news to announce?” Elva put down her fork and touched thexative in her pocket,
smiling softly.
Thomas had already been wary of udia, but she didn’t mind adding fuel to the fire.
As long as this meal was eaten, everyone’s attitude toward udia would only worsen.
udia looked at Elva’s impatient appearance, her crimson lips slightly curved, exuding an irresistible
charm.
She was wearing a simple shirt, which made her look even more elegant and capable under the
sunlight. There was a hint of charm and confidence in her, making it hard for people to look away.
“Of course, there was good news, and this good news was also rted to my younger sister.”
Elva’s eyelids twitched at the gentler tone of her voice.
udia had a bad feeling when her sister called her “sister” just like she always did, not with much
sincerity but rather to mock her.
Now, udia calling her sister is definitely not a good thing.
udia smiled, nced at Elva, and then took out a box from under the table.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, udia opened the box,
revealing a dpidated phone, but upon closer inspection, it could be recognized as Emily’s.
“Da mn it, Mom’s phone got fixed. You tell me, isn’t this good news?”
