    Celine couldn''t keep herposure. She nced at me and calmly said, "Kenzie is serious and doesn''t smile much."


    "Is she the same with you?" I asked as I turned to Celine.


    Although Kenzie maintained a cold and arrogant expression, I could tell from her tightly clenched fists that she was exerting a lot of effort to control herself.


    When I saw that, I smirked mischievously and pulled apart Kenzie''s hands that were sped together, saying, "Don''t grip your own hands so tightly. Doesn''t it hurt? Why are you so at odds with yourself?"


    Kenzie suddenly raised her head, and a fierce glint shot out from her eyes, piercing straight toward me. I quickly leaned into As''s embrace, pretending to be afraid as I said, "What''s wrong? Why are you being so fierce? I was just teasing you. After all, I''m happy to be back home. Do you really have to look at me like that?"


    As he red at Kenzie, As''s eyes immediately turned cold like a hawk''s. An indescribable chill emanated from him, sending shivers down my spine. Kenzie quickly averted her gaze and sped her hands tightly in front of her abdomen, bowing and taking a step back. "You''ve misunderstood, Madam. I was just startled by your sudden touch, and it was a reflexive reaction. I won''t do it again."


    "Looks like I misunderstood. But you did look very fierce just now," I insisted.


    "That was presumptuous of me," she said in a low voice.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    "Oh? So it seems you''ve reached your limit, Grandma Kenzie."


    "Please calm down, Madam." Kenzie bowed again, speaking with restraint.


    "You can go," Celine said coldly, giving Kenzie an out.


    Kenzie immediately bowed, took two steps back, and quickly turned and left.


    Unsatisfied, I hooked my arm through As''s again and walked inside. I raised an eyebrow, thinking that I hade here today to find some trouble. It was unreasonable to live sofortably in someone else''s house and still expect to befortable, wasn''t it? I would be pleased if they were all ufortable!


    When we stepped into the hall, my gaze fell on a rocking chair that seemed out of ce in the grand hall.


    Although it was also white, it didn''t look like it belonged in the magnificent hall.


    Most importantly, an elegantly dressed old woman was seated in the rocking chair.


    I immediately understood that she must be the ruthless Adeline Myer, David Pierce''s mistress and Celine''s stepmother.


    It was clear that the olddy still had


    a lot of spirit. She wore an off-white silk dress, a.modern blouse, and wide-legged trousers. Her chestnut-colored hair was


    meticulously styled and pinned up at the back of her head in a spiral bun.


    This olddy''s mind was still sharp despite her age. It was clear from her hairstyle that the old witch was still ambitious and desired to control everything.


    She wore high-quality diamond bracelets on her wrist, which matched the ones on her fingers, neck, and ears.


    She watched us walk in while she sat there rocking idly in the rocking chair. She still maintained her arrogant demeanor.


    It seemed she was waiting for us to greet her.


    I couldn''t resistughing at her


    expression and thought, ''This is perfect t-I''m going to have


    with this olddy!'' Content

    As''s thin lips were squeezed together, a little twist forming when he noticed my mood.


    "Who is this olddy...?" I deliberately turned to Celine and asked.


    Celine looked at me arrogantly. "This is my mother, As''s grandmother!"


    I didn''t expect Celine to y along with me. She introduced her appropriately.


    "Oh! Hello, Grandma Cross!" I started, but then abruptly stopped.
