Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Hearing Esther’s mockery, Betty was so angry that she slapped her on the face. “Esther, how dare you say that?”

Yesterday, Esther accused Betty of having no right to interfere in whatever she did in the video, which already irritated her. Now she even considered her as an old woman who knew nothing!

Despite her old age, Betty was hale and hearty. Esther’s face turned red instantly from the slap, and she felt a burning pain.

“Tell me, what’s the name of that man yesterday? Who is he? Why are you with him?” Betty looked her straight in the eye and questioned.

It was Anne who told Betty to ask this early this morning. She said in this way could they find the man and warn him to stay away from Esther. But in fact, only she herself knew why she wanted to find out anything about the man.

Ever since she met that man in the hospital, she had been enchanted by him. She believed that she could definitely get him with her beauty.

She stared at Esther, wishing to get her to say what she knows and find out everything about that man.

But Esther remained silent, because she did not know who that man was, let alone his name.

“Grandma is asking you. Are you dumb?” Anne wanted to slap her again for Betty.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

James watched as Esther was slapped. Not only did he not show any sympathy, but he did not intend to speak a word for her.

He wanted to see how stubborn she could be!

It seemed that she had never met Terence before, nor did she know that the person she met yesterday in front of the hotel was her new husband. She remained so stubborn for the purpose of getting back at and humiliating him.

James had always been flattered by others since childhood. He thought women should look up to and try to please him, instead of stubbornly taking revenge like Esther, even if he was wrong!

“Esther, why don’t you explain to Grandma? If you remain so stubborn, Grandma will punish you according to rules of the Cusack family.” Doris looked at her daughter’s red cheeks, felt heartbroken and almost cried.

Esther didn’t explain. Instead, she stared at Betty and said, “Rules of the family? That’s just an excuse for Grandma to punish us, Mom. Have you seen her punish Anne? Even if she stole my boyfriend, had fun with her friends all night, threw money around, and slept at home during working hours, Grandma still regards Anne as her precious granddaughter and loves her the most.”

She gritted her teeth and said, “Grandma, don’t you feel guilty about treating my mother and me like this? Are you really not afraid of karmic retribution? If you hate us that much, you can kick us out! Why do you have to force us to stay in the Cusack’s?”

How could Betty reason with her? Her entire body trembled from anger. She pointed at her and said ferociously, “Esther, you think you can speak to me like this after marrying into the Gibson family? I must teach you a lesson today….!”

As she spoke, she raised the crutch in her hand and kept smashing it on her. Esther did not resist, nor did she fight back. She just gritted her teeth and let Betty vent her anger.

Only Doris, who was standing at the side, was so frightened that she started crying. It almost killed her to see her daughter suffer this.
