Chapter 535

• Joan’s body trembled as she lowered her head, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. Her voice was soft and pitiful. “I’m fine… Sister doesn’t have to apologize. She only slapped me a few times. It’s nothing.”
• Her words, though spoken with a sense of helplessness, were enough to ignite Madam Emili’s fury.
• Madam Emili turned to Liza with eyes burning with rage. “Liza! How could you be so cruel? She’s your sister, yet you dared to treat her like this?! I can’t believe the kind of person you’ve become after living outside all these years! You’ve learned nothing but heartless, vicious ways! Get out of the Cooper Family! We don’t need a daughter like you!”
