Chapter 5

As soon as Aurora heard the word “sister-in-law”, her face went dark deeply, and she gave Alyssa a
stern and cold look.

If looks could kill, Alyssa would have already been buried six feet under the ground with no way out.
This time not even the richest man in the city could help draw her out from the mess “Justin” had
created for her.

Was this man trying to get her killed?

Aurora held Alyssa’s hand and pulled her into the hall of the villa, then coldly let go.

She looked at Alyssa with a cold face, “Did the man just call you “sister-in-law? Is he Emmett’s
cousin?”

“Yes.” It wasn’t that she could lie at this time.

Slap!

Aurora slapped Alyssa in the face with all her strength.

Alyssa’s face swung to the side and her ears began to buzz. If she hadn’t balanced herself, she
would’ve already collapsed to the ground from the force.

“You have no shame, do you? What were you thinking about getting involved with your husband’s
cousin on the first day of your marriage!” Aurora clenched her jaw, “If you want to die, just go and kill
yourself! I’ll even hand you the knife! But don’t you dare take us with you!”



When Aurora turned away, Alyssa reached out to touch her face which was still in pain, she coldly
looked up to Aurora, “Really? Do you think I was the one who kissed him first? You can’t even ask what
happened?”

It had always been like this. Every time something goes wrong no matter what happened or who was at
fault, Alyssa was always the first to be blamed. Her mother wouldn’t even bother asking her for a
reason. Instead, she’d use insults and hands to do the talking.

‘Worthless’, ‘good-for-nothing’, ‘wrench’ –all of them already came out of her lips. At this time, if Alyssa
got a dime for every time her mother had used them, she’d be a billionaire by now.

“One is an impotent and disfigured piece of garbage, the other, a normal and healthy man. I have eyes
and you have eyes. It would be clear to everyone who to choose. You haven’t already spent the night
with this “cousin”, have you?”

A soft feminine voice came from the stairway, gently and softly, but full of malice.

Seeing Skylar came down, Aurora rushed over to greet her. “Skylar, do you feel better? Do you need
me to fetch you a cup of tea? Or do you want to turn down the AC?”

Aurora addressed her so carefully as if she was a fine porcelain cup that she had just picked up from
an auction.

“Thanks Mom. I feel much better.” Skylar smiled gently with great innocence, but there was a certain
glint in her eyes like one that held all the maliciousness in her heart.



She went to Alyssa. “Alyssa, I can totally understand how you feel. But you should think about our
family and show a little restraint. Do it for us.”

From an upstairs window, she saw Alyssa and a man kissing in the car. That was the reason why she
rushed down. What didn’t surprise her was that Alyssa was kissing a man who couldn’t have been her
husband, but that her ugly sister was actually kissing someone!

Skylar then turned to look at Aurora and asked innocently, “Mom, am I right?”

Aurora showed a smile, “Of course my Skylar, you are right.”

Alyssa tightly clenched her hands and pursed her lips, not bothering to say a word.

It was hard to remember which one of the two girls was Aurora’s biological daughter. After all, who
would even think about treating their own blood like trash?

Over the years, Aurora had always wanted to gain a firm foothold in Moore’s house, she tried to please
everyone in this house with everything she could. But her daughter was simply a burden that she had
cursed upon them, and she’d do everything to put her last, even if it meant sacrificing her own blood.

At the sight of Alyssa, Aurora’s smile vanished and she looked at the former with a severe face. “Alyssa
since you have married into the Lawrence family, you must fulfill your duty. Don’t you give our family a
bad name. We’re only doing this because we care for you.”

Care of her? Had she ever?



Alyssa lowered her eyes, hiding her disdain inside. She still looked blank as a doormat. With a calm
voice, she said, “You have reminded me that if you do something that pisses me off, I might do
something stupid in front of the Lawrences. Now, I am not sure if that would provoke them to do
something to our family, but I wouldn’t tempt me. Got it?”

Skylar did not expect Alyssa who had always been silly and rebellious, would say such words. She
frowned and said, “What do you mean by that?”

“Just exactly what you heard.” Alyssa looked up, with her eyes slightly closed, as dull as usual.

Did they really think she would still be insulted as a servant like before?

It used to be like that. Alyssa had pretended to act humble in an attempt to please and win favor of
Aurora. After all, wasn’t blood supposed to trump anything aside? However, after Aurora had forced
Alyssa to marry into the Lawrence family on her sister’s behalf, the fear of displeasing her mother was
gone as well.

“What?”

Skylar gritted her teeth. She was already used to bossing Alyssa around, and this was the first time she
saw that woman actually fight back.

She was so angry that she glared at Alyssa before she turned to look at Aurora, “Mom, how could she
even say that?”

Of course, Aurora could hear the treat in Alyssa’s words. But assuming that Alyssa would compromise



with her no matter what like the past, she still put on a mother’s airs and said sternly, “Alyssa, apologize
to your sister!”
