Chapter 12 The woman's face twisted into hysteria . [ ] " Yvette ! Don't you forget who raised you all those years ! You ungrateful brat - back to the Summers family and you've already forgotten who put food in your mouth ! " ] Yvette's expression stayed calm . [ ] " You're right . I've always been naturally ungrateful . But your real daughter , Stella , now she's the perfect example of gratitude . " ] " You ? Compare yourself to my real daughter ? Please . Look at the Summers family - who do they love more , you or her ? " The woman's face was full of smugness . " So what if you're their biological daughter ? In the end , the Summers family will still be my daughter's . " A cold light flashed in Yvette's eyes , but she soon smiled . " You're right . The Summers family will be your real daughter's . Which means the Summers ' money will be Stella's money . And Stella's money … is basically your money , isn't it ? " The woman's mind started turning over , Yvette's words . ] " So if you want money , asking me is useless . You should be asking Stella . Oh , and I just saw her shopping ng at the mall next door . If you hurry , you might still catch her . " [ ] Hearing that , the woman's arrogance returned. She glared at Yvette . [ ] " Of course . You'd better take good care of Stella in the Summers household - run her errands , keep her happy . If I find out you've crossed her , I'll make you pay . " With that , she rushed off toward the next mall . Yvette crossed her arms , watching her run , the corner of her lips curling in mockery before she turned and walked away . Ethan , the secretary , had already figured out who that middle - aged woman was , So that was Miss Yvette's adoptive mother … what a piece of work . [ ] Talking to her like that - how did she even dare ? [ ] As someone who'd seen Yvette make Young Master Lucas call her " Dad " at the Lynn estate , and then slap her Summers siblings three times in a row , leaving them stunned , Ethan already considered " badass " synonymous with her name . Yvette's adoptive parents were from the Miller family - an extremely patriarchal household . Her adoptive mother was a shameless son worshipper , her adoptive father a hopeless gambler . [ ] Growing up , Yvette had been treated as nothing more than a " money losing burden , " enduring countless beatings . It wasn't until the Summers family took her back that she escaped that hell [ ] But to her , the Summers household was just another pit - one hell swapped for another . And as the Summers treasured princess , Stella would never be sent back to the Millers . [ ] Especially since all four brothers despised that family , terrified Stella would suffer there . The day Yvette returned- ] Big brother Adrian : " Stella will always be my sister . No one will take her place . " ] Second brother Zachary : " I will never send Stella back to that filthy Miller home . " Third brother Ryan : " If Stella's sent back . I'll leave the Summers family myself . " [ ] Fourth brother Daniel : " That lowly Miller family isn't worthy to be called Stella's relatives . " || willer home ! They seemed to have forgotten that their real sister had grown up in that same Miller As if the one who'd suffered wasn't wasn't Yvette , but 3 Stella . The Summers family had even paid the Millers compensation to make them leave Stella alone . The Millers - Shawn , Fanny , and their son - had promised never to bother her again But Yvette knew them too well . That money was probably long gone , blown by Shawn's gambling habit . ] So of course , they'd come looking for Stella for more cash Stella was already looking annoyed as she prepared to get into her brother's car , but just as she stepped inside , someone called out . " Stelia ! My darling daughter ! " ] Her face instantly soured , as if she'd just bitten into something rotten Turning , she saw a frumpy woman jogging toward her , yelling so loudly she drew everyone's attention People nearby began to stare . [ ] Stella's embarrassment Dared - she didn't even want to look at the woman . [ ] Ryan and Daniel also looked awkward , their expressions darkening as they recognized the runner . ] " Stella , my precious girl " Fanny said with a fawning smile , reaching out as if to embrace her , only for Stella to step sharply back . " What are you doing ? Stop shouting !" Stella hissed under her breath . [ ] Nearby , a few people who recognized Stella started whispering . " Isn't that Stella ? The Summers family's little princess ? She's always in magazines with her brothers ! " ] ] די hy couldn't I have been born into a family ly like th that ? This is out of one of those ' spoiled ' spoiled heroine ' novels .. " ] " Why " Who's that middle - aged woman ? How does she know Miss Summers ? " ||
