A figure quickly appeared on the cara, and Tong Airui instantly flew into a rage upon seeing her face—it was Nancy!
Nancy stared at the computer for a while, her cheeks puffed in anger and her brows furrowed. "Deleted again? I don’t believe this! You think you can watch 24 hours a day? For every one you delete, I’ll post another. Sooner or later, more people are going to see it!"
Nancy quickly posted another ssage, but just as she blinked, the ssage vanished in an instant.
Nancy spat out a curse and continued posting.
She was locked in a battle with Da Peng, unaware that soone had been standing behind her for quite so ti, silently watching.
When she uploaded the twentieth ssage, the person behind her grabbed her by the shoulders and yanked her upright.
Nancy scread in fright, then froze when she saw who it was—her mother. Her expression turned annoyed as she frowned, "Mom, what are you doing? Trying to scare ?"
The Queen of Haotian glared at her furiously and raised a hand to deliver a slap.
"You’ve never raised for a single day. What gives you the right to hit ?" Nancy shoved the Queen of Haotian forcefully.
The Queen of Haotian was stunned by the push but imdiately grabbed Nancy’s arm and slapped her again without hesitation.
With heartbreak and anguish, the Queen of Haotian yelled at her, "You’re right, I never raised you—that’s my fault. But I gave birth to you! Engaging in such disgraceful behavior deserves punishnt! This slap is to teach you a lesson: stop coveting what belongs to others!"
Nancy struggled desperately, "Let go of ! I did nothing wrong! Everything I said is the truth."
"Even if it’s the truth, it’s not your place to say it! And definitely not online! What good does this possibly do for you?"
The Queen of Haotian held back her tears, refusing to let them fall. This daughter, wandering for over twenty years before returning, looked sweet and obedient at first glance. But how could her heart be so twisted? Thankfully Airui discovered this early; if it had spread out, the situation would spiral into chaos. How could she ever face Long Che’s family?
"Mom, don’t be angry. It’s just that I love Duke Airui too much! I hate that I didn’t et him before Yi Luowa did. We look so alike—if I had known Duke Airui first, Yi Luowa wouldn’t even matter. I wouldn’t have to suffer like this."
Nancy covered her stinging cheek, tears streaming down her face. Her tone softened, losing the sharp edge from before.
"Nancy..." The Queen of Haotian, heartbroken beyond words, enveloped Nancy in an embrace. "I’ve warned you countless tis: stop coveting what belongs to others. Why won’t you listen? Duke Airui doesn’t care about Yi Luowa’s appearance but about her heart and her character. Yi Luowa is clearly an innocent and kind-hearted girl. And you? When you do things like this behind people’s backs, do you think Duke Airui would ever love soone like you?"
Nancy’s eyes narrowed slightly. "Yi Luowa may be perfect in all your eyes, but her background makes her completely unworthy of Duke Airui. Once everyone knows her secret, there’s no way she’ll have the face to stay by Duke Airui’s side. If she leaves, then Duke Airui will be mine..."
"Nancy!" The Queen of Haotian shoved Nancy back, staring at her in shock. "Who gave you the audacity to say sothing so shaless? And who told you about Yi Luowa’s background?"
Nancy, alard by the Queen of Haotian’s expression, stepped back in fear. "Mom..."
"Don’t call Mom yet! Answer my question!" The Queen of Haotian roared, unable to hold back her rage. She could hardly believe that she had raised such a daughter!
Under the Queen of Haotian’s fierce glare, Nancy stamred timidly, "I overheard it when you were talking... outside the door."
The Queen of Haotian let out a cold laugh. "Ha! So now you’re sneaking around eavesdropping too!"
Nancy waved her hands frantically. "No, I didn’t an to sneak around! You all went upstairs, and Yi Luo didn’t want to talk to . I was bored and thought I’d co find you. That’s when I heard you ntioning Yi Luowa’s background."
"Mom, Yi Luowa really doesn’t deserve Duke Airui. Help , please—if Duke Airui were your son-in-law, wouldn’t that be a huge advantage for our Haotian family?"
"I don’t ever want to hear you say that again. Forget about it imdiately!" The Queen of Haotian shot her a cold glance, then shouted toward the door, "Servants!"
Two servants rushed in at her call.
The Queen of Haotian pointed at the computer and commanded, "Take the computer away."
"Mom! If you take the computer away, what am I supposed to do for fun?" Nancy lunged forward, clutching the computer tower tightly.
