Chapter 137 Get Out

• Lara was overwhelmed by a stab of bitterness as Carter’s reaction had simply broken her heart. At that moment, she couldn’t help but recall how close they used to be three years ago. He even held her hand and showed his desire for her to his new mother back then. Thus, she was heartbroken to learn that everything changed.
• “Where are your manners, boy?” As she questioned Carter’s behavior, Shona could tell that the situation had turned awkward because of the boy’s unexpected indifference. “Something must have gone wrong with him. He used to be an obedient boy, but please don’t take this to heart, Lara. I’m sure Carter doesn’t hate you.”
• “If that isn’t hatred, then what is? The way I see it, Carter hates her more than we think he does. How could you bring an outsider back home just like that, Grandma? Moreover, I’m Carter’s mother, so how could you be so mean to me in front of him? Have you thought about how he would feel?” Olivia’s jealousy surged through her mind when she noticed Lara’s presence. It only grew into rage when Damian ignored her presence the moment she came home, as if he only had eyes for Lara. Now that Shona, who didn’t usually like Olivia, sided with Lara, Olivia’s anger overcame her and even prompted her to show her backbone to the old lady.
