Chapter 48 Where Do You Put Your Hands?


    Chapter 48 Where Do You Put Your Hands?


    "Oh, what do we do? It’s all my fault. Should I go apologize to Joy?” Kristina grabbed Sophie''s hand,pletely putting aside her grudge against


    Rejo and Jacquelyn. As long as it was for her daughter. Kristina could even risk her life, let alone bow her head to her enemy''s daughter.


    Sophie looked at Kristina''s nervous face, her eyes full of tears. She discreetly wiped the corner of her eye and said in a hoarse voice, "No need. Joy


    and I have been friends. I don''t think she''ll make things difficult for me just because you spoke for Maggie. But Mom, please don''t help Maggie


    anymore, or I don''t know if Joy will get angry.”


    Kristina felt a bit guilty. Sophie didn''t know that she had just caused trouble for Rejo in the neighborhood.


    Seeing that she had convinced Kristina, Sophie went back to her room to prepare for her interview. She caught a glimpse of the half-photo on the


    table and bit her lip. She thought. ‘You just look down on me because of my humble background and think I can''t bring you any benefits. Well, I''ll


    make sure to seed and be someone you can only look up to!"


    Watching Sophie go back to her room, Kristina eavesdropped at the door, thinking that if Rejo was in trouble, she would rush out to help Rejo


    In that case, Rejo probably wouldn''t hold a grudge against her for causing trouble earlier, right?


    Rejo was used to dealing with Maggie''s pestering. It wasn''t the first time, after all. She crossed her arms and looked at Maggie, saying, "I only


    know that this is my house. My father left it to me, and the property certificate is in my name. When did it be the property of your Miler family?


    Everyone here knows about it!"


    The onlookers all nodded in agreement. Everyone in the neighborhood knew about it. The reason why the house belonged to Rejo had something


    to do with her grandmother.


    Jacquelyn had married into the Lynn family with her child. Rejo’s grandmother was afraid that Jacquelyn would cheat her son''s money. Later, when


    Rejo was born, the health of Rejo’s grandmother worsened. However, her son believed whatever Jacquelyn said. No matter what, Rejo was


    Jacquelyn’s biological child. Jacquelyn couldn''t cheat Rejo''s house away, so she forced Roger to transfer the property into Rejo''s name. Roger,


    as the guardian, had the right to use the house before Rejo turned eighteen but not the right to sell it or give it to someone else. This matter


    caused quite a stir at the time. After all, no one would give a house to a granddaughter instead of a son. Therefore, all the old residents in the


    neighborhood knew about it.


    Maggie felt deep hatred when she saw everyone nodding in agreement with Rejo''s statement. This was the trouble with having familiar people


    around. Otherwise, she could deceive others easily. She thought for a moment and immediately changed her words. "Joy, how could you do this? You


    clearly said that you would live in the rich Sterling family in the future and nevere back. You asked me to look after the house for you. I just


    moved in, and I''ve terminated the lease contract. But you want me to leave as soon as youe back. What should I do? It''s so hard to rent a house


    now. Aren''t you making things difficult for me?"


    When it came to the house, Maggie''s resentment was intense. All the houses in this neighborhood were old and small, around 50-60 square meters


    This house was the property of her father and mother and was supposed to be passed down to her brother, but it was given to Rejo. Maggie was


    unhappy about it. Rejo was a girl, but she got the house. Maggie was her parents’ daughter, and her rtionship with her parents was even closer.


    Even if her parents didn''t want to give the house to her brother, they should give it to her. Why did Rejo get it? But at that time, her brother was still


    alive, so she didn’t dare to make a fuss. Later, after her brother died in an ident, she immediately brought arge group of people to the door.


    However, Jacquelyn had some connections and knew a rich and powerful man. That was why Maggie left the house in dismay.


    At that time, Mike was doing well in his business. Maggie had plenty of money, but she didn''t want to let go of Rejo. Now that Mike''s business had


    failed, she was even less likely to give up the house.


    "Well, Maggie is right, Joy. Your aunt''s family is in a bad situation now. If you can help, you should. You''re all family. Why do you have to be so


    narrow-minded?"


    "Yeah, Joy. you''ve been living a good life, but you can''t forget where you came from. You''ve seen the situation in your aunt''s family. If you can help,


    then help!”


    Seeing Maggie crying so hard, everyone tried to persuade Rejo. But Rejo was angry and stared at Maggie with her eyes wide open. She


    happened to catch Maggie''s proud gaze, which was blocked by her hair. Rejo''s anger rose and she pounced on Maggie. "Get out of here! This is


    my house. You''re not allowed to live here!”


    Maggie saw that Rejo attacked first and felt that she was in the right. She quickly got up from the ground and dodged Rejo’s attacks while


    running and shouting, "Oh, Joy, don''t be angry. Let''s talk about it nicely. If you don''t want me here, I''ll just sleep on the street...”


    The onlookers frowned and sighed. "How did Joy be like this?”


    "Yeah, once she became sessful, she forgot her rtives. I never expected her to be so ungrateful.”


    Maggie overheard the people around her and felt that she had yed her part well. Since Rejo, this wicked girl, dared to disrespect her, she would


    teach Rejo what filial piety was and make sure that Rejo would never dare toe back to this neighborhood again. This house would be hers


    from now on!


    When Maggie thought of the house, she became even more evil. She blocked everyone''s view with her fat body as she dragged Rejo to the stairs.


    With a smile full of malice, she used force to push Rejo down...


    "Oh my god, Joy!"


    Maggie pretended to be flustered and stretched out her hand, trying to pull Rejo up. But her eyes were filled with a triumphant scheme. Rejo


    knew it was Maggie who pushed her, and her body was uncontrobly tilting backward. After seeing Maggie''s arrogant gaze, she gritted her teeth and


    grabbed Maggie''s hand. Even if she fell, she would drag Maggie, the mastermind, down with her..


    Maggie didn''t expect Rejo to have such strength before she died. In shock, she didn''t care about hiding her malice anymore. "Let go of me, you


    b*tch. Go to hell!”


    Maggie forcefully pushed down Rejo who was holding her hand. Due to the impact, Maggie also fell to the ground


    Her body blocked the staircase, preventing those who wanted to rescue Rejo from passing by her, and what she had just said made everyone''s


    face turn gloomy.


    Rejo thought she was going to be


    injured this time. She closed her


    eyes tightly, afraid to see herself


    bleeding, an cursed Maggie in hers


    heart fortbeing a vicious woman.


    She waited for the pain toe but


    instead felta warm embracexShe


    loaked down in a daze at the two


    Hands ced on her chest: Since


    she fell backward, the person who


    saved her hugged her from behind


    while going up the stairs.


    Grateful to her savior, Rejo told herself not to mind it. However, she couldn''t help but think, ‘Can you please take your hands off my chest? I''ve


    already been rescued!’


    Brady saw that Rejo didn''t move with her head down and thought she was scared stiff. He quickly whispered her name in her ear. “Joy, Rejo,


    can you hear me?"From N?velDrama.Org.


    "I can hear you, Mr. Nelson. Can you please let go of me first?"


    Rejo rubbed her ear and blushed as she felt his grip was too tight!


    Brady breathed a sigh of relief and felt something soft. As he realized where his hands were, he felt a shock and apologized, "I''m sorry. I... didn''t


    know!”


    Rejo stood steady by holding


    onto the railing and didn''t mind. She


    narrowed hereyes, stared at Maggie


    who was lyin on the ground, and


    spoke upyatidly, '' ‘Just now, I was


    pushed: dewn by Maggie. oes


    saw itpright? She was trying tokill


    me.She had such an evil thought for


    a. hduse. Are you reallyfortable


    letting her live in this conamunity?


    Mike just went bankrupt. Who


    knows what they''ll do for money?


    I''m Maggie''s niece and you saw how


    she attacked me without hesitation.


    So how will she treat you outsiders?”


    "You''re lying. Rejo. You clearly fell yourself. What does it have to do with my mother?" Maci couldn''t let Rejo us Maggie.


    "I saw it. It was indeed Maggie who pushed Joy!"


    "I saw it too!”


    They might not see it the first time,


    but they saw it the second time -


    Maggie could have pulled Rejo


    up, but insteag_she pushed Rejo.


    Everyone''s gpinion of Maggie


    changed at that moment. Sympathy


    for the Weak was amon LS


    sentiment. Originally, Maggie was in


    sucka destitute state and even lost


    hershouse, so people thought that


    sffice Rejo had be


    sessful, Rejo could help


    Maggie. But if Maggie had malicious


    intent, they couldn''t just sit by and


    let it happen. Joy was right. Mike


    had lost all his money. What if


    someone came pressing for


    repayment of his loan? They were all


    old and couldn''t bear to be scared.


    Everyone advised Rejo.


    "Joy, they can''t stay here. I know you''re kind and want to provide them somewhere to live, but you can''t make us in danger, can you? If you want


    Maggie to live here, I won''t agree!"


    "That''s right! If you''re worried, go rent a ce for them somewhere else. We can''t let these kinds of people stay in ourmunity!”


    Maggie was furious at their change of heart that her face turned livid. She got up from the ground and roared, "Get out! Mind your own business. This


    is the Lynn family''s affair. I''m telling you now. I''m determined to live here. No one is going to kick me out!"


    After speaking, Maggie pushed aside the onlookers and pulled Maci who was in a daze back into the room. She closed the door and paid no attention


    to the gossip outside.


    Everyone was angry, but they couldn''t do anything. After all, it was Rejo''s house and they had no right to evict anyone, so they all looked to Joy for


    a solution.


    After listening for a while, Brady roughly understood the situation. Looking at Rejo''s annoyed face, he said with a smile, "Joy, you have to do


    something. Although she’s your aunt, you can''t let her bully you like this.”


    "Oh, but she''s staying here. Even if I kick her out this time, she can alwayse back when I''m not here!”


    This was the main source of Joy''s frustration. She could kick Maggie out now, but she knew how shameless Maggie was. Maggie was the type of


    person who would move back when she wasn''t around
