After the recording was played, the entire second floor was silent.
Warren looked at Yvonne in disbelief.
He did not expect his gentle and elegant sister to speak like this to his wife in private.
He looked at Maureen again.
In the past, he always felt that his wife had a bad temper. She was not sensible and did not know how to be humble. After all, she was pampered like a little princess in her family.
However, her eyes were red at this moment. It was obvious that she had suffered a lot of grievances.
Yes.
Although his wife did have a bad temper, she had always been open and straightforward. If he had not forced her to this extent, how could they have quarreled like this?
Maureen had thought that the matter would be like any other dispute in the past, making Warren feel that she was not sensible enough. She did not expect the situation to take a turn in her favor!
She looked at Nora in shock.
Her eyes turned red again.
She looked at Warren with a trembling voice. “Did you hear that? Is this about a piece of clothing?”
Warren’s heart ached so much that his expression changed. He walked quickly to stand in front of Maureen and looked at Yvonne. “Yvonne, so that’s what you think!”
Yvonne bit her lip, wanting to explain. “Warren, I…”
However, Warren had already interrupted her. “In the past, no matter what Maureen said about you, I would always be on your side. I didn’t expect you to be such a two-faced person! You said one thing in front of me and another behind my back! My wife isn’t someone you can humiliate!”

He pointed at Yvonne in rage. “I never expected you to be such a selfish person!”
Yvonne took a deep breath and anxiously said, “Warren, that’s not what I meant. I…”
However, Warren was already ignoring her. He directly wrapped his arm around Maureen’s shoulder and said, “Honey, I’m sorry. I never knew that you were being treated like this at home. It’s too unpleasant. We don’t need to live under someone else’s roof. It’s not like we don’t have a house outside. Let’s go!”
Yvonne did not dare to flare up at Warren.
No matter what, Warren was still a member of the Smiths. Moreover, she was indeed in the wrong for blowing up this matter.
Ian did not have a son, so although Ian’s generation had separated, his nephews from the next generation all lived in the Smiths’ manor.
Yvonne was an adopted daughter. Sooner or later, she would be married off. This family would belong to Joel sooner or later!
Yvonne could bully Maureen and even look down on Nora, but she could not look down on Warren!
She rushed forward again and grabbed Warren’s arm. She called him with an intimate tone, “Brother, I…”
Before she could finish, Warren pushed her back a few steps.
Warren’s face was cold. “Don’t. Don’t call me that. You’re the eldest daughter, I’m just from the side family. I don’t dare to let you call me brother!”
Yvonne did not dare to flare up at Warren. She could only look at Nora and scold her directly. “Why are you so despicable?! You actually recorded it!”
Nora lowered her eyes. “If I hadn’t recorded it, how could I have broken your disguise?”
Yvonne was about to go crazy after being torn apart.
She was on the verge of breaking down. She no longer pretended to be a pure and innocent girl. She pointed at her angrily. “It’s all because of you that my relationship with them became so bad. Nora, you’re actually more pretentious than me! More manipulative!”
Nora: “…”
She raised an eyebrow and stared at her. “So?”
Yvonne was furious. Ignoring the fact that Warren was still beside her, she pointed at them and scolded, “Okay, okay. I’m an outsider, right? I’m not related by blood, so you guys are bullying me together!”
“But Nora, do you think you’re so smug just because you’re a member of the Smiths and have the Smith blood flowing in your veins? In the end, you’re just an illegitimate daughter of the side family! Your mother was immoral and seduced two brothers at the same time. Do you really think you’re so glorious?”

Smack!
Nora suddenly slapped her!
Yvonne was stunned. When she returned to her senses, she saw Nora’s cold expression and anger in her eyes.
Yvonne was stunned as she touched her face before she reacted and took a step back. “You dare to hit me? You dare to hit me?!”
Nora clapped her hands and felt that her palms were a little dirty. Her voice was cold and distant as she replied, “You’re not worthy of mentioning my mother.”
No matter what, her mother had passed away.
As a junior, she was wrong to point fingers at her elder.
Yvonne bit her lips, fearing that she would make a move again. She pointed at her and roared, “Why don’t you let anyone mention it? Do you feel embarrassed too? Then move out like Warren!”
These words angered Warren. “It’s my own freedom and decision to leave. Who are you to chase me away?”
Yvonne sneered. “I’m the mistress of the Smiths! This family belongs to my father, and you guys are just outsiders! And that Louis is also an outsider! Get lost, all of you! Get out of my house!”
Hearing this, Nora smiled. She was about to say something when a cold voice suddenly came from behind. “In my opinion, the person who should leave is you!”
They turned around again and saw that Joel, who had rushed back after handling some company matters, was slowly heading upstairs with an icy expression.

He was wearing a black suit. His face, which had always been gentle and smiling, was now extremely stern.
The moment he appeared, Yvonne was instantly silenced, as if someone had pressed a mute button.

She had been most afraid of him since she was young.
Joel’s handsome face was covered in frost as he stared at Yvonne. His tone was very serious. “You disappoint me too much. How did Uncle Ian raise a daughter like you?”
Yvonne was rendered speechless by his stern words.
Joel spoke again. “I originally wanted to wait for Uncle Ian to wake up before dealing with you. It looks like I was wrong. Lucy, come over.”
Lucy hurriedly stood up. “Mr. Joel, I’m here.”
Joel said coldly, “Pack Yvonne’s luggage and take her to the villa in the suburbs. She’ll be staying there for a while.”
Lucy immediately nodded. “Yes.”
With that, she asked tentatively, “Should I only prepare summer clothes?”
It was summer.
Joel lowered his eyes. “She will need some more clothes. After all, there are four seasons in a year!”
What he meant was that he wanted Yvonne to live in the suburbs forever!
Lucy was delighted, but she did not show it on her face. She lowered her head. “Yes, I’ll send Miss Yvonne over first. I’ll send the clothes over later.”
With that, Lucy called two bodyguards over. Seeing them walk over, Yvonne finally returned to her senses and hurriedly shouted, “Joel, big brother, you can’t treat me like this. I’m Daddy’s daughter! I’m Daddy’s daughter!”

A day later, Nora received a message from Lily.. “The DNA results are out.”
