?Chapter 1015:


    Aurora and Molly leaned out the window, their curiosity piqued.


    Below, the frail and malnourished Katie was berating a young servant. “How dare you try to palm this garbage off on me? Don’t you know I’m a Miller? Adrian is my brother! Do you even understand the consequences of treating me like this?”


    The young servant, unaware of the Miller family’s history, bowed her head in silence, too afraid to respond.


    Molly bristled with indignation. “Who does she think she is, throwing her weight around like that? It’s disgusting!”


    Mid-sentence, she spun around and went downstairs, ready to give Katie a piece of her mind. By the time Aurora snapped out of it, Molly was already halfway down. “Hey? Molly? Molly!”


    By the time Molly arrived, Katie was still mid-rant. Without hesitation, Molly stepped in, pulling the trembling servant behind her. “You’ve got no right to treat people like this!”


    Katie turned to the neer, her sharp eyes narrowing as theynded on Molly. This must be one of Joelle’s daughters. Katie’s lips curled in a sneer as she sized her up.


    This girl was beautiful, just like her mother—an infuriatingly graceful figure that Katie despised on sight.


    “Little girl, technically, you should be calling me ‘Aunt.''” She extended a bony, sallow hand toward Molly.


    Before Molly could respond, Rnd appeared and stood before Katie. “Apologize to my mother.”


    Molly blinked in disbelief, her anger ring. “Did I hear that right? You want me to apologize? To her?”


    Rnd’s tone was cold, unyielding. “She’s my mother. However you treat her, I’ll treat your mother the same way.”


    Feel inspired on g?lnσν????s．cо??


    Molly’s jaw dropped. “Apologize? Dream on!”


    She spun on her heel and stomped away.


    Rnd paid her no mind. Turning to Katie, he gently offered her his arm. “Let’s go inside, Mom.”


    Aurora watched their retreating figures, frustration bubbling to the surface.


    “Rnd, are you happy now?” she called after him.


    He didn’t respond.


    Inside, Katie patted Rnd’s hand, her expression smug and self-satisfied. “That’s my good boy. Remember, we only have each other. Everyone else is out to harm us.”


    “Yes.”


    “Rnd.” Katie’s eyes glittered with thinly veiled calction. “You’re all I have, my dear. You’ll take care of your poor mother, won’t you?”


    “I will.”


    The first morning after Katie moved in, her shrill cries shattered the peace. The servants hurried to her room, only for her to create chaos by intentionally messing up her bed.
