Chapter 29 " Oh , Mom , please stay out of our business ." " How can I not get involved ? And let me tell you , you can't do what you did two years ago again , it's too risky ! Kaneeta dying is one thing , but if you end up in jail , how could I ever face your biological parents who have already passed away ? " Kaneeta smiled silently . Perhaps it was because she had learned too many truths and experienced too much in the past few days . Right now , there was no great turmoil in her heart . She was simply grateful that she had heard these words from Lila . She no longer needed to foolishly treat Lila as someone who truly cared for her . Kaneeta turned and went straight back to her room to start packing . In fact , there wasn't much she wanted to take ; she could leave behind everything from the Kuntz family . So she only packed a few changes of clothes and some daily necessities into a small suitcase . When she came out of her room with the small suitcase , Lila and Nyasia had just finished their conversation and were coming back from the balcony . " Who is it ? " Lila was startled by the shadow in the living room . She quickly reached for the switch on the wall and turned on the light . The living room was suddenly flooded with light , and Kaneeta instinctively squinted her eyes . " Neeta ? " Lila let out a sigh of relief . " It's so late , why aren't you … hey , where are you going with that ? " She stared at the suitcase Kaneeta was carrying , puzzled . Kaneeta glanced at her but ignored her , heading straight for the front door . " Hey , Kaneeta ! " Nyasia , annoyed , strode over and blocked Kaneeta's way . " My mom is talking to you , didn't you hear ? Is this how you treat your elders ? " " Move , " Kaneeta said coldly . " Hey , Nya , don't talk to your sister - in - law like that , " Lila hurried over to smooth things over . " Neeta , are you going on a business trip ? Why so sudden ? Why not leave in the morning ? " Kaneeta smiled . " Mrs. Kuntz , I forgot to tell you , Edmund and I have broken up ." Lila gasped in shock . " You … what did you say ? Broke up ? When did this happen ? Why did you break up ? " Lila was so surprised that she didn't even notice Kaneeta had changed the way she addressed her . " You broke up with Ed ? " Nyasia was delighted , but also surprised . Hadn't Edmund said Kaneeta would become his real wife in the future ? Why did they suddenly break up ? At that moment , Edmund , having heard the commotion , also came out of the bedroom . He must have been asleep , as he still looked a bit drowsy when he came out . " It's so late , what are you all doing here ? " " Ed , Neeta says you two broke up . What's going on ? " Lila's voice was sharp . Chapter 29 Although she looked down on Kaneeta's family background , right now , if Kaneeta left , who else could stand between Edmund and Nyasia ? Edmund frowned and looked at Kaneeta , his expression dark . " It's the middle of the night , what are you making a scene for now ? " " Edmund , I already made it very clear to you tonight . We're breaking up , " Kaneeta said coldly . " Edmund was both angry and anxious . He had thought that after they came home and had dinner together , the matter would be over , and Kaneeta couldn't possibly mean to break up with him . But now she was actually leaving with her suitcase ? Could she really be serious? No , impossible . She must just be trying to scare him . Edmund scolded her , " Don't go too far ! No matter how you act up in front of me , I can tolerate it , but now you're making a scene in front of my mom too ? " " Edmund , aren't you ashamed to say that ? " The sarcasm on Kaneeta's face reminded Edmund of what had Chapter 29 happened that morning . He was embarrassed for a moment , but quickly said , " Whatever it is , let's talk in the morning . My mom's not in good health - do you have to upset her in the middle of the night ? " He thought that by saying this , Kaneeta would surely consider Lila and obediently compromise . However , Kaneeta's gaze swept indifferently over Lila . Lila felt a chill run through her heart . She simply reached out and grabbed the handle of Kaneeta's suitcase . " Neeta , what did Ed do to upset you ? Tell me , and I'll stand up for you ! You've been together for five years , and you even have your marriage certificate now . How can you just break up like this ? " The more Lila spoke , the more anxious she became . To be fair , Kaneeta really was a good daughter - in - law - filial and attentive . There was a time when Lila's health was poor , and Kaneeta took care of her , even more so than Edmund or Nyasia . If only her family background were a bit better … " Speaking of which , Mrs. Kuntz , " Kaneeta looked at her , " I've been with Edmund for five years , but you never once mentioned meeting my family ." Chapter 29 Lila's face froze . She looked down on Kaneeta's family , so of course she wouldn't respect them , nor would she consider them her in - laws . Kaneeta had never brought it up before , so why was she suddenly making an issue of it now ? Actually , Kaneeta wasn't really making an issue of it . After all , her father didn't approve of Edmund either . But her father simply opposed the relationship , while Lila , despite looking down on her and her family , still pretended to be loving and caring , acting as if she cared , when in reality she just wanted to use her . It was truly disgusting . Now , she just wanted to expose Lila's hypocrisy . " Please let go , " Kaneeta said coldly . Lila instinctively released her grip , and Kaneeta pulled her suitcase toward the door . Edmund quickly caught up to her and grabbed her wrist . " Neeta ! It's so late , where can you go ? " Kaneeta found it amusing - there were hotels everywhere outside , where couldn't she go ? Chapter 29 " It's none of your business . Let go ! " Kaneeta forcefully shook off his hand . Nyasia , who had been standing aside all this time , was burning with anger . She had thought it was Edmund who dumped Kaneeta , but to her surprise , it was Kaneeta who initiated the breakup ! How dare she ? And yet , Edmund and Lila were still trying to keep her ! She was even putting on an air of superiority ! " Kaneeta , you're too much ! Who are you pretending to be ? " As she spoke , she walked over and , without warning , raised her hand and gave Kaneeta a hard shove . Kaneeta hadn't expected her to get physical . Off balance , she fell backward , hitting the back of her head on the cabinet behind her . For a moment , stars danced before her eyes . Chapter 30 Chapter 30
