Chapter 47 Annoying Rtive


    Chapter 47 Annoying Rtive


    The July heat in the Capital City made it impossible for anyone to summon even a shred of energy. The sun in the gray sky was trying its best to


    radiate heat. Just ten minutes after leaving the office, Rejo felt like a fish stranded on the beach, walking home listlessly with her head down. Well,


    she was going back to her own house.


    It was just two stops away from the office, which was the best thing about her job.


    She could sleep in and not have to squeeze onto the subway. She could walk to work if she wanted to. Thepany had good benefits and her boss


    was a strong woman, so she didn’t have to worry about workce harassment. Even though she had changed positions now and her work had


    nothing to do with her previous job, Rejo still didn''t want to quit


    Should she move back to her own house? No, if she did that, Jason would be more reckless. The thought of his craziness from yesterday sent


    shivers down her spine. She immediately gave up the idea of moving out of the Sterling family. Even if she had to deal with the pressure of being


    forced into marriage and the sarcasm


    of others while living in the Sterling family, it was still better than facing Jason.


    "s, Lydia seems difficult to get along with!"


    Thinking of Lydia''s hostility towards her, Rejo furrowed her brows and wondered if she should talk to Brady. Why was she transferred to the


    assistant''s office?


    "Joy, you''re back. Why are you back at this time? Aren''t you going to work? Oh, right, I heard you went with your mom to her new husband''s ce.


    Looks like you''re living the good life now and don''t have to work anymore. Tut, You''re so lucky! Unlike us, who have to earn our own money and can''t


    rely on men like your mother does!"


    As she approached the door of the housing estate, Rejo saw a group of middle-aged women sitting under a tree fanning themselves. They had


    been lethargic, but now their eyes lit up at the sight of Rejo and they straightened their backs, waiting for her response.


    Rejo nced at the person who spoke. The woman lived across from her and had always had a grudge against her family for some unknown


    reason. Rejo suspected it was because the woman was jealous of Jacquelyn. The woman and Jacquelyn were both widowed in their thirties, but


    Jacquelyn was popr among men and even married into a wealthy family, benefiting her daughter as well. Meanwhile, that woman could only run a


    small shop in the neighborhood and support herself and her daughter with a meager ie. Of course, she hated Jacquelyn


    But Rejo couldn''t be soft with such a b*tch. They wouldn''t appreciate it and would only be more arrogant, bullying her more. Although Rejo


    had always been hard to deal with. the woman had never backed down and had be more aggressive over time.


    Rejo straightened her back. "Oh, I had somethinge up suddenly and took half a day off. Mr. Sterling is very good to me. Not only did he not


    make me work, but he also introduced me to a boyfriend who is a Ph.D. from Yale andes from a family that owns severalpanies. But I


    believe that girls should have their own careers, so I still want to work. By the way, Mrs. Walter, has Sophie found a job yet? She''s been at home for


    almost half a year now. I heard her boyfriend got married. She should move on from that. It''s just a breakup. isn''t it? Does she have to feel that


    hopeless? Look at Ms. Howardson. She lost her husband but was still able to marry a rich man. Sophie is just disappointed in love, but she feels like


    it''s the end of the world. She is too fragile!"


    Rejo lied without any guilty conscience.


    Kristina was so angry that her fat face twitched and turned red, but she couldn''t say anything to refute Rejo. She snorted and changed the subject.


    "I advise you to be more careful, so you won''t end up being kicked out. I''m straightforward with my words. There are many gold diggers who are


    yed and kicked out. I''m worried that your mother is only focused on the present and might be yed without realizing it!”


    "That''s right. Nowadays, society isplicated. Rejo, don''t me Kristina. She said that for your mother''s sake.”


    Wionna, who had always been close to Kristina, spoke to support Kristina. The others nodded subtly, with hope and schadenfreude in their eyes that


    they didn''t even notice.


    Rejo pursed her lips, feeling them dry. She had been thirsty all the way here and needed to drink some water in a hurry, so she needed to end this


    battle as soon as possible.


    "Mrs. Walter, you don''t need to worry. Even if my mother is kicked out, she has a few daughters to take care of her. I just got a new job today, so my


    mother doesn''t have to work herself. Mrs. Walter, don''t worry about my mother. s, you''re so old but still running a small shop. It''s not easy, is it?"


    It was a decisive blow!


    Kristina waspletely speechless. She felt that talking to Rejo today was a mistake. Among Jacquelyn''s daughters, Rejo was sharp-tongued


    and could infuriate people with her words. Jenifer was sly and made people afraid to talk to her. Only Joana was easy to bully, but today Kristina was


    in a bad mood, so she wanted to mock Rejo as scon as she saw Rejo. She forgot that Rejo was not easy to bully. What bad luck! Kristina


    shrugged and sat on a small stool, looking aside to show her surrender.


    Rejo didn''t pursue the matter further. Most of the residents in the neighborhood were old-timers whe had known each other for many years. If she


    fell out with Kristina, she would be the one to suffer. After suppressing Kristina, Rejo said goodbye to the others and left quickly.


    “"Humph, a little sess has gone to her head!" Kristina spat at Rejo''s back.


    "Kristina, just shut up. Why argue with a girl? Besides, I think Joy is great. She''s sessful now but still takes care of her rtives. She even let her


    aunt live in her house. Aren''t you ashamed to argue with a girl? If you like to control people, go and control your own daughter, Sophie. Joy is right.


    It''s the modern era. She shouldn''t be so desperate and stay at home every day after breaking up with a man. That''s too shameful!"


    Kristina pouted and didn''t say anything. She couldn''t argue when it came to her daughter''s affairs.


    Rejo didn''t hear the rest of the conversation, or she would have asked about the part where her house was given to her aunt''s family. But she


    would find out soon.


    Staring at the key in front of her for a minute, Rejo inserted it into the lock again. It still didn''t work. What was wrong? She had only been gone for


    three days, so she couldn''t make a mistake. This was her house key!


    "Mom, what should we do? Is Rejo outside the door?” Maci was in the house. She looked through the peephole, saw Rejo, and nervously pulled


    Maggie''s arm.


    "Don''t worry. She can''te in! She''ll leave in a moment!" Maggie whispered.


    She clutched her scarf tightly. She never expected Rejo to suddenlye back. She thought Rejo had moved to a rich family and wouldn''t


    come back.


    “Bang! Bang! Bang!"


    Maggie covered her ears and jumped back suddenly. Just a moment ago, her face was pressed against the old wooden door, which was shaken by


    Rejo and caused her ears to ache.


    Hearing themotion inside, Rejo became more certain that someone was there. "Open the door. I know it''s you, Maggie. If you don''t open the


    doer, I''ll call the police!"


    Only Maggie could live in her house by deceiving the people in this neighborhood. Maggie was always looking for ways to take advantage of others!


    Now that Rejo had called her out by name, Maggie stopped pretending and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Go ahead and call the police. What


    did I do wrong by living in my niece''s house? I don''t believe the police can interfere with that!"


    Rejo kicked the door, knowing that Maggie wouldn''t open it because she was too shameless. She took out her phone and shouted, "Hello, 911? I


    want to report a theft at my house...”


    The door suddenly opened, and Rejo couldn''t move out of the way in time. She covered her nose, which had been hit, and her eyes turned red.


    But Maggie didn''t care, pointing her finger at Rejo and screaming, "What do you mean, Rejo? You''re going to kill me!”


    The sound instion in the old


    building wasmt good, and Maggie''s


    scream had_sttracted all the


    residents.or the first floor. Although.


    it was during working hours, the


    peopleyiving here were all elderly,


    andistina had just returnedto


    coak. She heard the noise and


    bétame so excited, running to the


    third floor in one breath to get to


    Maggie''s door. "What happened?


    Maggie, why are you crying?"


    Seeing Kristina, Maggie became


    even more entetional. "Kristina,


    please help.ate. I can''t take it


    anymore>Rejo has be


    sessful and doesn''t want to have


    anything to do with us poor rtives


    anymore. Rejo, don''t you o-


    remember who supported you when


    you were down and out?Now you


    want to send me to the police


    Station. Are you trying to kill me?"


    ?NMaterial ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    "Oh my, what do you mean? Police station? What''s going on?"


    "It''s all because of Rejo. She wants to call the police!" Maci red at Rejo andined in a hurry. “This house belongs to my mom, and we


    moved in. What''s wrong with that? Mom, calm down. Even if we have to go to the police station. we shouldn''t be afraid!"


    "How could you do this, Joy? You''ve be sessful and treat your aunt so badly..."


    "Mom!"


    Suddenly, the door across the hall opened, and Sophie stuck her head out, pulling Kristina inside. "Come back and cook. I''m hungry!"


    Without waiting for Kristina to argue, Sophie dragged her inside and mmed the door shut.


    "Sophie, can''t you cook for yourself? Go away!"


    Kristina was annoyed. She had not had enough of themotion. Sophie pulled Kristina and whispered, "Mom, isn''t it clear that the Lynn family is


    taking advantage of Rejo? Everyone in ourmunity knows about it. If you speak up for the Lynn family, won''t they look down on you too?”


    “You don''t understand. Move aside!” Kristina remained unmoved, as she had just been humiliated by Rejo and was eager to regain her


    confidence.


    Sophie was speechless. She knew her mother’s personality. She couldn''t reason with her mother, so she had to change the subject to distract her


    mother.


    "Mom, I''m going to work!"


    "Oh, you''re going to work... You... What did you say? Sophie, are you going to work?"


    Kristina was overjoyed. She forgot


    about Rejotand focused on her


    daughter, who had been hiding at


    home sinse-her breakup. Kristina


    used tobe so worried, which was


    why stte wanted to make things


    diffistilt for Rejo after Rejo


    became sessful. But now that


    Sophie was willing to work, Kristina


    was so happy that she grinned from


    ear to ear.


    "Yeah." Sophie pursed her lips. "I''m going to work at Rejo’spany. What if you offend her now and implicate me?"
