?Chapter 658: So, instead of acknowledging it, Evita merely pointed a finger at Valentina and snapped, Dont address me in that tone as if we were that close! It wasnt until Evita caught the lethal look in Valentinas eyes, brimming with malice and intent to harm, that her own expression darkened significantly.


    In the presence of witnesses, Evita shouted, Valentina, youre utterly despicable! Without my support, without the family, youd be nowhere! Dont you dare look at me like that.


    You have no right! How dare you give me such looks? Do you think I wont discipline you? Valentinas heart sank heavily.


    She could hardly believe that Evita, who had always prioritized her over Sk, now showed such intense hatred.


    It felt as if she had imposed herself on the family, even though Evita had always treated her like a cherished daughter.


    Valentina had always been a master of hiding her true self.


    Despite harboring hatred for the Juarez family and everyone associated with itincluding her own daughtershe had wlessly executed her role, leaving no room for criticism.


    Yet, Evitas sudden outburst sent a wave of unease rippling through her.


    Could Evita have uncovered something? Suspicion clouded Valentinas gaze as she briefly cast a spiteful look at Harlee.


    Turning to Evita, she said, Has Harlees forceful shove confused you or something? Remember, Im your beloved Valentina, the one who has always treated you better than Sk.


    Have you forgotten who I am? Valentina assumed these words would reignite Evitas fondness for her, despite the womans current displeasure.


    To her dismay, Evitas expression grew even harsher.


    The phrases your beloved and treated you better than Sk struck a nerve, filling Evita with a mix of embarrassment and guilt.

    ring at Valentina, Evita responded coldly, What do you mean by those words? Sk is my daughter.


    There is no way you could rece her in my heart! After a brief pause, her tone grew even sharper.


    I never thought you could be this repulsive and malicious, trying… To sow discord between my daughter and me? Leave now, and never address me that way again, or Ill make Elvin divorce you! Valentinas expression twisted with extreme grievance, but inwardly, she was relieved she had turned off the livestream earlier.


    She had no real attachment to the declining Juarez family, but she was determined to bring Sk down from her high position.


    Ever shrewd, Valentina noticed that Evita seemed to have gained a sudden, piercing rity, as though she could spot every w like a hawk.


    Deciding it was too dangerous to stay, Valentina acted deeply hurt and fled the scene.


    Evita was too agitated, and lingering might result in her pushing Elvin for a divorcea move that would strip Valentina of her leverage.


    For now, her strategy was to keep Elvin close, subtly drawing him further into the web she had spun.


    As for Evita, Valentina nned to returnter, ying the victim in front of Elvin.


    She was confident he would take her side and perhaps even scold Evita on her behalf.


    Harlee observed the entire drama with a faint smirk, finding it more entertaining than any television show.


    As Valentina departed, Evita attempted to salvage her image, trying to y the doting grandmother.


    However, Harlee had no patience for it.


    She took Evas hand decisively and led her away.
