“I’m enjoying your blessing by living here.”
Anger rushed through me. I strode forward and shouted, “How did you get in? This is my house! Get out right now!”
Mrs. Eden frowned at my words.
“Yvonne, is this the girlfriend you mentioned introducing to Michael?” she asked.
“The house looks nice, but this girl doesn’t seem polite at all.”
“With such a bad temper, how could she ever serve Michael well in the future?”
While she spoke, her eyes suddenly landed on Bella. She took a quick step back, grabbing her grandson’s hand tightly.
“Why are you still keeping this beast? Get rid of it right away!”
“Look at the clothes it’s wearing! They must have cost a fortune.”
“My dear grandson, stay away from it, or that dog might hurt you.”
I was beyond angry.
“Get out of here right now!” I yelled.
“You’re trespassing! Get out of my house!”
Yvonne gave me a stern look.
"You idiot! Why don't you understand what I'm saying?" she snapped.
"We are family now. This is my mother-in-law. From now on, we will be sisters-in-law. What matters is my family, not yours."
"Michael is not here yet. But I’m sure you will like him when you meet him later."
I did not want to waste any more words on someone so thoughtless, so I just pointed toward the door and shouted, "Leave now! Or I will call the police!"
Yvonne opened her mouth to answer, but Mrs. Eden raised a hand to stop her.
"Call them! Let her call! This new, soon-to-be daughter-in-law dares to speak to me like this before she even comes in. I will teach her a lesson today!"
"I want to see whether the police in our city will really take sides in family matters."
After hearing that, I said nothing further. I took my phone out and dialed.
"Hello, this is Unit 8, Room 1209, Angel Gardens. Someone is trespassing. I am afraid they are threatening my safety. Please-"
Before I could finish, a hand grabbed my phone while I was distracted.
Bang!
In the next instant, my phone struck the floor and broke into pieces.
"You little bitch! How dare you call the police!" they shouted.
I turned to see that Marcus had smashed my phone. When Marcus acted, Yvonne and Mrs. Eden woman did not stop him. Instead, they cheered.
"Good job! Marcus, you’re doing a great job! He is going to teach her a lesson!"
Bella felt threatened. She bared her small teeth and started barking at the intruders. Before I could pick her up, Marcus's son kicked her hard.
