Reborn as the Baby Sister Everyone Spoiled—and the One He Loved
Maya hobbled over with her cane, her wrinkled face full of displeasure. "Grandma ... " Alora quickly rushed over to support her lovingly. Maya tapped Alora's head with a raised hand. "Why are you so spineless? How can you let yourself be bullied like this?" Although Maya's words were laced with disdain, the affection and sympathy she felt for Alora were evident. She couldn't stand to see her treated unfairly. "Grandma ... I ... " Alora bit her lip, her face showing pitiful grievance, but inside, she was feeling extremely smug. Hmph!Now that Grandma was here, even if Rebecca and Elaine wanted her to move out, they couldn't do anything as long as Maya disapproved. Seeing that Alora didn't even dare to speak up, Maya's heart ached for her. She immediately turned her frustration toward Elaine. "Elaine, first you came back and stole Alora's fiancé, and now you're trying to take her room too? Do you have to disrupt this family's peace just to make yourself happy?" "Mom!" Rebecca protectively pulled Elaine into her arms. "You're being too harsh, scolding Elaine without even knowing the full story." Maya, leaning on her cane, sat down on the sofa with Alora's help. She shot a contemptuous glance at Elaine and then glared at Rebecca. "What's there to figure out? Isn't it obvious? Your daughter spent so long in the countryside that she's become envious of others' things, so now she's forcing Alora to give up her room. "How ungrateful! What kind of life did she have in the countryside before? And now that she's living comfortably with the Currans, she's still not satisfied and has to compete with Alora. Does she even have a conscience?" Alora sat beside Maya, her eyes lowered to hide the smug smile that threatened to show. D*mn! So what if Elaine is their biological daughter? Maya favored Alora. As long as Grandma was around, she had nothing to fear. "Mom! How can you say something like that? You've gone too far!" Rebecca was so furious at Maya's words that her chest heaved with anger. She believed that no elder should speak to the younger generation so harshly, especially with such cruel words. Rebecca's heart ached. "I'm just telling the truth, so how is that going too far?" Maya didn't see anything wrong with what she said. She glared at Elaine again, full of displeasure. "Elaine, don't even think about taking anything from Alora. You're not getting that room, so you'd better know your place." "Mom! What do you mean by ‘taking'? All of this belongs to Elaine! Elaine is my daughter, and everything in this family is hers by right!" Rebecca was so enraged by Maya's words that she couldn't hold back anymore. "Mom." Alora covered her face with her hand. "You're right. Everything belongs to Elaine. I'll leave right now!" Alora's teeth were practically grinding together.Everything belongs to Elaine? Everything is supposed to be mine! "Sit down!" Maya grabbed Alora's arm. "Rebecca, is this how you treat your children? Does twenty years of growing up together mean nothing compared to blood ties? You're hurting Alora with your words. Do you even have a heart?" "Mom, that's not what I meant ... " Rebecca wasn't trying to push Alora away; she just wanted to convey that it was fine for Elaine to have whatever she wanted. It was just a room, after all. If Elaine wanted it, Alora should let her have it. But both Alora and Maya had completely misunderstood her intentions. "Old Mrs. Curran ... "
