Hearing that voice filled with fury and anger, as if about to draw a sword and gun to destroy someone, Poe Vaughn’s eyes slightly narrowed, his steps halted, and he looked toward the living room. There was no one in the living room, but there were people in the kitchen. And that voice just now came from the kitchen, carried to the living room, and then to his ears. He stood at the doorway, listening to the voice, no longer moving forward. Aunt Wei and Ava hadn’t heard the sound of the door opening, having no idea Poe Vaughn had returned. However, that sudden shout from Ava startled Aunt Wei. Not only did it startle Aunt Wei, but it also scared Ava herself. It was really because her voice was too loud, so loud that the entire kitchen seemed to tremble. Ava stiffened, looking at Aunt Wei, who was clearly frightened by her. She immediately twitched the corner of her mouth, quite surprised that she had become so excited that she forgot she was speaking softly with Aunt Wei. Scratching her hair, Ava looked at the closed kitchen door and listened to the quiet outside, without a single sound. Ava instantly breathed a sigh of relief; luckily, Poe Vaughn hadn’t come back. If he had returned, it would have been troublesome. Though Poe Vaughn never mentioned his mother in front of her, Ava could feel that his mother’s weight was heavy in his heart. Although she and Poe Vaughn were married, and they indeed got along well during this time, it didn’t mean she could touch that extremely important part of him. Ava was very self-aware. Therefore, if Poe Vaughn knew she was probing into his mother with Aunt Wei, he would definitely be furious, even go into a rage, and then she would have nothing to think about. But fortunately, Poe Vaughn hadn’t come back. Yet, Ava didn’t dare to be careless either. She pulled out her phone to check the time; it was already 5:41. Poe Vaughn would be arriving soon, right? Thinking of this, Ava felt a tightening in her heart and hurriedly whispered to Aunt Wei, "Aunt Wei, Poe Vaughn should be coming back; let’s stop talking for now." Ava’s voice was extremely low, only audible to Aunt Wei and herself. The moment Ava took out her phone, Aunt Wei had already regained her senses, and by now, she had finally emerged from that painful emotion, realizing where she was and that it was decades later, not decades ago. At this moment, Aunt Wei was rarely dazed. Ava’s voice fell into her ears, and Aunt Wei’s gaze shifted, looking at Ava, seeing a face full of tension and concern, Aunt Wei’s heart relaxed, and she remembered what they were talking about initially. The lady was asking about Miss Mina, worried about Mr. Vaughn’s grief; the lady was tense about Mr. Vaughn. The lady was very kind. Seeing Aunt Wei hadn’t fully returned to her senses and was still halfway through, clearly different from usual, Ava felt quite troubled. Looking at what she had done, she hadn’t expected Aunt Wei had such a good relationship with Poe Vaughn’s mother and knew so much, even witnessing the relationship between Poe Vaughn’s mother and Ronia Ackerly. Asking was tantamount to reopening Aunt Wei’s wounds, really inappropriate. Thinking of this, Ava grasped Aunt Wei’s hand tightly, then sternly and seriously said, "Aunt Wei, listen to me carefully now." "You must not attribute others’ mistakes to yourself. There are many bad people in this world, and no one writes the words ’bad person’ on their face." "Every one of us has been young and inexperienced, inevitably making mistakes, but making mistakes doesn’t mean we are bad people or that we must live in guilt and self-blame forever." "What we can do is to correct them, not to repeat past mistakes, and that will be enough." "And bad people, they lack morals and shame, they have no heart; they are selfish and only care about themselves, doing anything for their own interests. Are such people worth your self-blame? Worth your guilt? Are they worth you condemning yourself for a lifetime because of such heartless people?" "Absolutely not, absolutely not!" "The more we blame ourselves, the more we feel guilty, the more they shift their mistakes onto you, onto the good people, crying about their innocence." "They are terribly bad, at the core, never be deceived by their disgusting appearance, never be controlled by them." "If you really have to feel guilty, if you have the time and energy, why not use it on the bad people, letting them receive the punishment they deserve, rather than punishing yourself?" Ava spoke each word clearly and seriously, and as she continued, even grabbed Aunt Wei’s shoulders, her expression was solemn and fierce. It’s said that good people die young, while evil haunts remain for a thousand years, so being a good person has its limits; you must understand the world’s dangers, acting accordingly. Never be weak and never harm yourself because of bad people, or you’d truly suffer a big loss. She never enjoyed a happy life growing up. She understood the world’s coldness, reality, and cruelty from an early age. No one would help you; your suffering is yours to bear, and your wounds are yours to heal. Thus, she clearly knew what good and evil were since she was a child. She had a heart, but she knew when to have it, and she could be heartless, knowing when to be completely indifferent and unemotional. Why punish herself for the mistakes of others? As long as she doesn’t hurt or harm others, she would never let someone else’s actions slide. Similarly, when Ronia Ackerly so hurt Poe Vaughn’s mother back then, Aunt Wei, being in the know, although she indeed did something wrong, she didn’t do it intentionally and knew her wrongs. Therefore, there’s no need to live in perpetual guilt and self-blame. She believes Poe Vaughn’s mother wouldn’t blame Aunt Wei either. What Aunt Wei should do is tell everything that happened back then to the people who should know, letting everyone see Ronia Ackerly’s ugly face, and even use means to let Ronia receive the punishment she deserves. Aunt Wei looked at the person in front of her, watching Ava, who looked furious and full of hatred in her eyes, as if the matter happened to her, making her want to settle scores with Ronia Ackerly, at all costs. Aunt Wei’s heart tightened instantly, quickly saying, "Madam, please don’t do anything foolish. Now... now, Ronia has already been punished, don’t go to her." Aunt Wei looked frantic, very anxious. Ava was initially comforting Aunt Wei, but instead, Aunt Wei ended up stopping her. As if she was about to do something terrible. Ava felt helpless, her expression instantly relaxed, "I’m not, I’m not stupid, I know what should be done and what not to do, I’m just upset." "And I believe that someone is always watching our actions, and Ronia’s situation now is no longer like before." "Everything she has will gradually slip away from her, and she will meet a terrible fate." "Don’t think she lived comfortably for decades, but her good days are behind her." Ava’s lips curled up, as if she were a prophet, foreseeing Ronia’s future downfall. She used to not believe in karma, because those who hurt her lived well, enjoying life, feeling happy and fulfilled. But as time went on, gradually, she realized what karma meant. Their good days ended, either plagued by illness or losing family, or their households met with trouble, causing chaos; such days truly became spectacular. Seeing these, she finally believed the words of the ancestors. It’s not that karma doesn’t come, it’s just that the time hasn’t come yet. As for Ronia, ha, just wait.
