Natalee rushed to hug Rhianna and turned to angrily shout at Silas, "Dad, if Grandpa finds out how you're treating Mom, you're in big trouble."

Silas's oppressive aura immediately dissipated, and he grudgingly fell silent. He hesitated to help Rhianna up, so I discreetly stepped forward.

Silas snorted as if he had gained confidence, "So what?"

A hint of sarcasm flashed in my eyes. "Silas was to physically assault his wife merely for the immediate benefits he hadn't seen. This is in line with his style."

The doctor arrived quickly. After treating the wound on Rhianna's forehead, she specifically asked the doctor to check the scratches on my arm.

She squatted beside me with a guilty look, "Ella, it's all my fault. I was too excited to see you, so I accidentally scratched you. Don't blame me."

I smiled kindly, "Rhianna, how could I blame you."

"Good, good child, don't worry. From now on, I will love you like my own daughter."

3.

That night, I sneaked to the door of Silas and Rhianna's room, and sure enough, I heard intense arguments.

Silas's angry voice sounded, "Whether you agree or not, I plan to introduce Ella to everyone on a good day formally."

There was silence in the room for a while, and then I heard Rhianna's voice, no longer impulsive but rather calm, "Hubby, I know you love your daughter very much, and I won't stop you. But think about it, what if Rosemary Lemmon had cheated on you?"

Silas didn't say anything.

I snorted inwardly, knowing that for that amount of money, Silas wouldn't hesitate to do anything, even kneel, let alone accept being cheated on. His silence was merely a result of being unable to find a suitable rebuttal.

On the other hand, Rhianna thought she had convinced Silas and continued to persuade him, "Why don't we do a paternity test first and decide later? It's not too late."

The next morning, I washed up and went downstairs to have breakfast.

Natalee had already was already seated in the dining room downstairs.

I didn't know what Rhianna said to Natalee, but unexpectedly she didn't come to find trouble with me.

I raised my eyebrows and sat next to Natalee. That was interesting.

Natalee looked at me sitting down and gave me a fierce glare.

I smiled at her indifferently, "Natalee, good morning."

Then, right in front of Natalee, I poured the steaming soup on my arm and kicked Natalee hard.
