I gently turned down all assistance and suggestions before making my way back to my residence.
Upon entering, I was greeted by the sight of Rosie moving her possessions into the house. Meanwhile, Stephen and Kian were carelessly discarding my belongings as if they were garbage.
Stephen caught sight of me and lifted his head haughtily, his eyes filled with contempt.
"Daphne, Kian now owns this property, and our marriage is over. Gather your stuff and leave! Stop meddling in our family matters."
His once kind demeanor had completely vanished, replaced by undisguised hatred, as if he had been tolerating me for far too long.
Kian stood next to him, equally disdainful. "Ending up like this—you're truly a disappointment."
As he spoke, he pulled out two hundred dollars from his wallet and threw it on the floor. "Here's your monthly allowance. Take it and go. Don't soil our floors on your way out!"
The respect my son once held for me had transformed into scorn.
