"You… Gian, you saw it, she hit me, she hit me." Pheobe Rogers turned around and, surprisingly, threw herself back into Gian Horne's arms, just like when she was younger. Every time she fought with Mila Anderson, she always sought help from Gian, who never failed to oblige.

A fleeting sneer crossed Mila Anderson's eyes.

The sound of cars came from outside the villa.

Several cars pulled up in front of the villa gate and honked their horns.

"Uncle Ying, the Second Young Grandma and Young Mistress have returned; please open the gate." The moment Mila Anderson raised her eyes and saw the familiar cars, a sigh of relief rose from within her, and the determination on her face grew even stronger. Dealing with the shameless Pheobe Rogers and Gian Horne, who always took her side, was challenging on her own. Now, with Julia and Adele returning, it was like reinforcements had arrived.

"Yes, Madam."

Uncle Ying turned and went to open the gate.

The other servants all hid in their dormitories or other corners, watching everything in the front yard.

Seeing Julia Bluen and Adele Horne return, those hiding couldn't help but watch with gleaming eyes. Now the drama would get even better, as they waited to see how their Second Young Grandma and Young Mistress handled this old mistress who shamelessly wormed her way into someone else's family!

Pheobe Rogers shrank further into Gian Horne's embrace.

Withdrawing the gaze that had lingered on his wife, Gian Horne clumsily pushed Pheobe Rogers away, not wanting her to cling to him looking so aggrieved.

Gian's actions dropped Pheobe's heart into an icy abyss. He was treating her like this! The man who always said he truly loved her, who always treated her tenderly, who always took her side, the man she considered her husband in her heart, had begun to betray her, reneging on the promises he once made. When they first became intimate and he saw the evidence of her virginity on the bed, he joyfully wrapped his arms around her and promised to be good to her for a lifetime, to cherish, spoil, and love her. Now, before a lifetime was even up, he began to betray her. She was hit by his wife, and unlike before, he didn't scold his wife. When she flung herself into his arms, there was no tenderness or anger in his eyes, no intention to seek justice for her at all. Now, with his daughter-in-law and daughter returning, he even pushed her out of his arms. His image in front of his daughter-in-law and daughter mattered more to him now than she did.

Pheobe Rogers was deeply hurt at this moment. How other people treated her only made her angry, but the ones who could truly hurt her were Gian Horne and his son, James—a man she had loved for decades and a child she had carried for ten months. Because of her mistress status, her own family had cut ties with her. Despite the Horne Family wealth and mistresses being prevalent in society, her conservative family felt disgraced by her actions. When her parents passed away, she wasn't even allowed to come home and pay her respects; that pained her deeply. Now, these two men were her only family, but... Glades Horne! It was all because of that cruel Glades Horne! He was like a rabid wolf that devours without spitting out bones!

Pheobe Rogers wouldn't let Gian push her away. She shamelessly clung to him like gum. Her skin was thick enough already; she didn't care if it got another layer thicker.

Julia Bluen, Ruby Bluen, and Adele Horne pulled into the parking lot and got out of their cars one after the other.

Adele Horne, more hotheaded, immediately noticed Pheobe clinging desperately to her father and rushed towards the trio, not even considering the three-month-old pregnancy she carried—her unborn child was the future leader of the Blazing Flame Sect, a matter not to be taken lightly. Heh, of course, she was unaware of this. Right now, all she wanted was to stand by her mother's side and give her support. That shameless old woman! Big Brother already ordered that she's not allowed in, but she still dared to come and even forced her way in. And from the look of it, Dad is siding with her again!

Adele's opinion of her father deteriorated even further. Although she dearly wished her parents could live together harmoniously and lovingly, reality was too harsh, and her hopes of twenty-three years were thoroughly dashed. As long as Pheobe Rogers was around, Dad would always side with her. Then Mom would get depressed, lose herself in card games, spend money like water, and have even less affection for me.

"Uncle Ying, what happened to your face? Both sides are… have you been slapped? Who did it?" Julia wasn't as hasty as Adele; she noticed the clear finger marks on Uncle Ying's swollen face as soon as she got out of the car. Her eyes flashed, and a chill shot up from the soles of her feet, spreading through her entire body.

"Who hit you? Where is the Second Young Master? The Fourth Young Master is also home, who dared to hit you?" Ruby's expression darkened too. Both sisters held Uncle Ying in high esteem. In this day and age, it was rare for someone like him to devote most of his life to one family, willingly serving their masters for decades, with his wife even dedicating her youth alongside him.

"The Second Young Grandmas, I'm fine, just bitten by a mad dog a couple of times," Uncle Ying said with a self-deprecating laugh.

"Why is she here again? Barging in like that. Glades already said, if this happens, throw her out! Is Madam alright?" Julia shot Pheobe Rogers a stern look from afar. Pulling Ruby Bluen along, she advanced towards Pheobe with four bodyguards, exuding an oppressive, queen-like aura. Uncle Ying followed, answering her questions.

Hearing that her mother-in-law, usually so well-composed and refined, had actually slapped Pheobe Rogers twice, Julia wanted to throw a party—she even wanted to set off fireworks to encourage her mother-in-law! Well done!

"You vile woman, what are you doing here? Uncle Ying, throw her out immediately! Seeing her makes me want to throw up yesterday's breakfast, utterly disgusting. An old hag still clinging to my dad, aren't you ashamed? I'm ashamed for you. Dad, is this how you treat Mom? In front of her, cuddling your mistress, taking advantage of my brother's absence to bully my mom with your lover, right? Dad, you've really disappointed me!" Adele Horne's sharp voice rang out.
