Boiling water flew at Sophia and splashed all over her chest. The water was so hot that she jumped,
and her palm missed Melody’s face. “Who threw hot water at me?!” Sophia was fuming. When she
looked down, she saw Alden holding an empty glass. The moment she saw him, she threw all caution
to the wind and ran over to grab him by the collar. Then, she swung her hand at him. Adina grabbed
her hand midwing, even if it felt as if her bone was about to be crushed. “Abusing my kids while I’m not
around, Sophia? It’s been years since we last met, but you’re as uncivilized as ever.” Adina flung her
hand away and bent down to hug Alden and Melody. Sophia was so angry that she felt as if she was
about to combust. She pointed at Melody and roared, “Your daughter slapped my son! Either let me
slap her, or do it yourself!” Adina looked over and saw the palm print on Leo’s face. But Melody never
took the first step to hurt others. “Mommy, it’s not Mel’s fault,” Alden said. “Leo called her a mute and
spat at her.” He sounded like he was blaming himself. His granduncle had called him over to talk about
the chip, so he had stepped away from Melodie for just a few minutes, but it was enough for someone
to bully his sister. It was his fault. He had made his mother worry again. When Adina heard her son’s
words, rage stirred in her heart. There were two things she could not tolerate: people calling her
children b*stards and people laughing at Melody’s condition. Sophia had just done both. Slap! A loud
slap rang through the living room. Sophia’s eyes went wide. “You witch, how dare you hit me?! I won’t
let this go!” She no longer cared about her image and lunged at Adina like a crazed woman. Her hands
were outstretched toward Adina’s throat. Adina avoided her coolly, and Sophia missed. She crashed
face-first onto the floor. Blood poured down her face. Sophia had never been in such a pathetic state
before, and she wanted to tear Adina to shreds. “Sophia, your son has a foul mouth, so that slap was
for him!” Adina said while looking down at her. She then bent down and picked Melody up. Her
daughter opened her eyes wide, and her long, curled lashes fluttered. It looked like she had no idea
what had just happened. Morganna was so furious that her hand trembled. “Adina, you wh*re, how
dare you hit my daughter?! As long as I’m one of the Xaviers, don’t you dare to even think about
staying here!” “Are you thinking about chasing me out of the house, too?” Madam Xavier walked out of
the study room with her cane and stopped in front of Adina like a protector. Morganna suppressed her
anger and said in a quivering voice, “That’s not what I meant, Mother. You saw what happened just
now. Adina has no respect for her elders and hit her cousin. She’s too arrogant, and it’ll bring unrest in
the family. I only want what’s the best for the family…” “You’re the one who’ll bring unrest to the family!”
Richard roared. “If you can’t accept Addy, go back to your family!” Morganna felt ashamed after being
rebuked by her mother-in-law and husband in front of others, but she did not dare to say anything else.
She picked Sophia up from the floor while feeling indignant and grabbed the wailing Leo, then went
upstairs. Even though the incident had come to an end, Adina could not calm down. It was just the first
day of her return, and they had already started fighting. There was definitely going to be more trouble in
the future. Adina was not afraid of Morganna or Sophia, but Melody was still young, and Adina could
not possibly watch over her 24/7. The others would definitely find a time to mock and abuse her, which
would worsen her condition. It seemed that staying in the mansion was not the smartest decision.
Madam Xavier saw through Adina’s thoughts and said, “Addy, you’ve always been opinionated, and I
was never able to change your mind once after you’ve made a decision, but could you do this for me?
Please, stay in the house I’ll give you. This way, I’ll be at ease.” Addy hesitated for a while before she
nodded. “I intend to hold a birthday party for you so that everyone will know that the most beautiful
woman of Sea City is alive.” Madam Xavier patted the back of her hand. “After it, you can move out.”
Alden tugged at Adina’s sleeve. “I’ll take good care of Mel, Mommy. Don’t worry.” Sophia had acted
really aggressively, so Adina was still worried. But then, it had been years since she had last met her
grandmother. It would be wrong to not even stay for a few days. She could move out immediately after
the party ended. Since Adina was still worried about Sophia abusing her children, she brought them
along when she went to Xavier Corporation the next day.
