The smile on Azalea’s face did not change at all when Meadow said that to her. “Mom, aren’t you being forgetful? You allowed me to call you ‘mom’ before this. No matter what, I’m the daughter-in-law that you carefully selected. Isn’t it natural for me to call you mom?”
Meadow’s face turned pale when she heard Azalea’s words. She choked up and she felt uncomfortable as she scolded, “Shut up!”
“Why do want me to keep my mouth shut? Wouldn’t that be a disgrace?” Azalea laughed. “I won’t keep quiet. I have to catch up with my mother and grandfather today!”
“Who would want to talk to you? Get lost now!” Meadow shouted angrily.
“Let me say my piece first! We won’t be able to avoid each other since we stay under the same roof, so you should give me a chance.”
Azalea changed her position. “Mom, you were the one who took the initiative to look for me. I never thought of marrying Michael because there was a huge difference between us. I wouldn’t have the guts to even think of it, but you came to me every day. You always praised me for being gentle, kind, and beautiful. You said that I was a good match for Michael and that you dreamed of having a daughter-in-law like me. I gradually believed in your lies and I later felt that I was a good match for Michael. That was why I began to obsess over him.”
Meadow was ashamed and angry when she heard Azalea talking about the past, She wished she could find something to shut Azalea up.
She quickly stepped forward and pulled Azalea. “What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and get lost. How can you disturb my father-in-law’s meal?”
Azalea shook off Meadow’s hand and continued, “Back then, Abbie and Michael were passionately in love overseas. In order for me to be your daughter-in-law, you tried every means possible to get me to break them up. You even asked me to strip naked and lie in Michael’s bed to make Abbie misunderstand the situation. You wanted her to think that Michael was a scumbag so that she would break up with him. Later, you pretended to be sick and you even said that you were going to die to force Michael and me to be a fake couple. Do you remember these things?”
Meadow certainly remembered it, but she couldn’t bring herself to admit it. “You bitch! What are you talking about? Are you trying to make us angry so early in the morning?”
“Did I touch your soft spots that you become angry from embarrassment? Hahaha, it’s so funny! I don’t know why you like me so much. After all, I’m not as beautiful as Abbie nor do I have a strong family background. When I knew that you thought of me as an heiress, I realized that you wanted to take away another family’s assets without putting in any effort. Mom, why are you so shameless?”
Meadow was extremely angry and she reached out to pinch Azalea’s hand. “You’ve lost your mind! You damned bitch, you’re deliberately trying to disgust us, aren’t you? I won’t let you succeed. Hurry up and get lost. If you don’t get out now, I’ll get someone to drag you out!”
Azalea’s raised her hands, but her face was full of laughter. “What? Mom, don’t you know that I’m going to stay here forever? Since you’ve gone through so much trouble to invite me in, how can it be so easy for me to leave?”
She shook off Meadow’s hand and picked up her sleeves. “You were really cruel to me just now. Look, my arm is covered with bruises because you pinched me! Mom, you look like a noble lady on the surface, but you’re insidious and shameless. I don’t like you at all, but I have no choice because you were the one that made me pregnant with Michael’s child.”
Azalea took a deep breath. “From now on, I’ll accompany both of you to eat every day and I’ll talk to you guys to relieve my boredom. I’ll fulfil the filial duty of being a daughter and granddaughter-in-law.”
Meadow was almost driven crazy by Azalea’s words. She glanced at Wayne, who was standing beside her without saying a word. His expression was livid and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Meadow knew that she couldn’t let Azalea continue like this and she had to get rid of her as soon as possible. She raised her voice suddenly and said, “Come on, drag this shameless bitch away!”
Several servants immediately went to the dining hall, but Azalea was not afraid at all and she asked Meadow with a smile, “Mom, why are you so angry when it’s still so early? Are you going through menopause? I heard that there are some medications that can help ease the symptoms. Why don’t you ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine for you?”
The maid went forward to grab Azalea and she screamed out loud, “Let go! Let go of me!”
Of course, the servant would not pay attention to Azalea. She grabbed Azalea and dragged her out of the dining hall, but Azalea grabbed the chair and refused to let go as she yelled at Meadow,
“Meadow, aren’t you fucking shameless? I’ll definitely get back at you and I’m going all out. I’m not afraid to tell you that I can do anything when I’m desperate. Since I have the guts to sit here, I’ve already set up a plan on how to deal with you. I’ve already broadcasted this entire conversation online.”
“What? You… you…” Meadow wanted to swear, but she swallowed the dirty words she was about to say when she thought that Azalea was having a live broadcast. She ordered the servants, “Take her phone and smash it!”
The maid snatched Azalea’s phone and tossed it to the ground, which shattered it into pieces.
Azalea did not panic at all. Instead, she laughed and said, “Look at you guys. Are you afraid? I’m sure you’re terrified now.”
Meadow slapped Azalea twice on the face when she saw her arrogant expression. Azalea didn’t dodge her at all and continued to laugh arrogantly.
“Do you think you can solve the problem just by destroying my phone? It’s not that easy. Let me tell you, I just recorded and broadcasted it. I have also uploaded the live video to my private storage drive online, so it’s useless for you to smash my phone.”
She pointed at Meadow and Wayne as she spoke. “I’m not afraid to tell you that you dare to drag me out of here today, your true colours will be known by everyone in less than an hour! If you don’t believe me, you can give it a try!”
Meadow naturally knew what Azalea’s words meant. She couldn’t throw away her pride, and neither could Wayne. She couldn’t solve the current situation now.
Meadow looked at Wayne as if she was asking for help. “Dad…”
Wayne glared at Meadow fiercely. If he could, he really wanted to strangle the woman in front of him.
Things wouldn’t have ended up like this if it weren’t for Meadow, but Wayne knew that it was not the time to deal with Meadow because he had to deal with Azalea first.
He suppressed his anger and asked Azalea in a calm tone, “What do you want?”
“Don’t you know? I want to get your respect and I want to eat with you every day. You and your servants have to treat me like before! I need to have a place in this family as well, so is my request too much?”
