What's Wrong with Taking Back What's Yours?

Zuri watched Dalia coldly.

This was her mother.

In her mother's eyes, Saira was her most perfect daughter. Even if Saira's ugly and dark side was laid bare, she could always find thousands of reasons to excuse her.

No matter what Zuri said, her mother always believed Saira. In her eyes, Saira was well-read, elegant, and noble.

And what about Zuri?

If she made the slightest mistake, she'd be criticized.

In her mother's eyes, she was just a rough, uncouth, uneducated hooligan.

Scenes like this had happened countless times over the past eight years. From initial sadness and grief, followed by jealousy and anger, it all turned into hate.

Anger and hatred had made her lose herself, leading her down a path of no return.

She started targeting Saira, taking everything from her.

People around her watched her like a madwoman, seeing only Saira's endurance and struggle in the Lin family, without noticing that those things originally belonged to her.

She was just returning them to their rightful owner.

Perhaps Saira's frailness and kindness were too charming, making all the men around her like her.

The adopted brother her parents took in liked her, her nominal fiancé liked her, and even her cousin, who was like a brother, secretly loved her.

Her life was like a novel's heroine, with countless men willing to sacrifice everything for her without her doing anything.

And Zuri?

She was like the novel's villainous supporting character, not only taking away her identity as a young lady but also her happiness, constantly bullying her.

How laughable.

The cuckoo that occupied the magpie's nest received everyone's sympathy and pity after losing everything.

Meanwhile, Zuri, the rightful owner, faced everyone's jealousy, envy, contempt, and even disapproval.

Shouldn't the person being pitied be her?

For eighteen years, she suffered for Saira, endured hardships for eighteen years. She just took back what was hers. What was wrong with that?

Perhaps the mistake was that she shouldn't have come back, shouldn't have taken back what belonged to her, and should have willingly let Saira continue enjoying them.

Dalia turned to Zuri, "Saira meant well. If you don't appreciate it, that's fine, but you can't sow discord. Such bad habits won't be tolerated in our family."

See, it was clearly Saira's fault, but in the end, it was Zuri who was at fault.

Isn't it laughable?

After being hurt and broken in her past life, her heart no longer felt 'sadness'. Zuri looked calmly at her mother, ignoring her reversed black and white accusations.

"Enough." Aaron said sternly, taking out a card from his bag and handing it to her, "Buy whatever clothes you like."

Aaron glanced at Saira and spoke to Zuri in a rare gentle tone, "The Lin family's daughter doesn't need to wear others' clothes. Don't save money for Dad. Buy whatever you want."

Zuri accepted the card.

Aaron and his secretary hurriedly left.

The house was left with the three women, staring at each other, with Arianwen and others keeping their distance.

Zuri waved the card in her hand and smiled sweetly at the two women, "I'm going shopping. As for the gathering, you go by yourself. Have fun."

Her smile was like an invisible slap, hitting their faces hard, making them feel a sharp sting.
