Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 609

Tessa rolled her eyes at Yolanda and snapped, "You ugly freak, mind your own business and get lost!"

"Tessa! How can you talk like that?" Selena was shocked by her crude language.

"Aunt Selena, I've known all along you don't consider us family. Now, you're even taking an outsider's side over ours!" Tessa sneered and said, "What would Uncle Kieran think of that?"

"I—" Yolanda started to speak, but Selena cut in, "Yolanda is not an outsider! She's our goddaughter, which makes her your cousin. And you need to apologize to her right now!"

Selena was really angry. After everything Yolanda had done for her and Kieran, she could not let her be bullied for no reason.

Yolanda was startled. Seeing the usually soft-spoken Selena so angry made her understand why the original Yolanda had been so grateful to Kieran. Here was Selena, who barely knew her, standing up to her husband's family to defend her.

Meanwhile, the original Yolanda's own parents had tried to grind her into the dirt in front of outsiders at every opportunity. Yet even in death, she had still yearned for her mother Diana's love. Even Yolanda was not sure how to evaluate such persistence.

As Yolanda sensed the lingering emotions of the original Yolanda, Shane's family erupted. "You won't give us money, but you're supporting some stray?"

"Goddaughter? More like your secret love child!"

"No wonder you claim you're broke. You're spending it all on this brat!"

"Before, Kieran and I helped because we considered you family. But if you don't see me as family, why should I waste money on ungrateful people?"

"Selena! Don't push it!" Fiona exploded. "Are you trying to say it's right of you to not pay for my daughter's tuition? What goddaughter? Does Kieran even know? I bet you just brought in your love child while he's gone!"

"She is my daughter! If I hear you insult her again, don't blame me for doing something about it!" Selena took a deep breath and glared at Fiona. "This is a public place. If you want to make a scene, fine. Let's see who ends up looking foolish!"

She did not believe Shane's family's bullying could make them right.

The sales staff were frowning at the crude language from Shane's family. Their high-end clients were usually sophisticated people, so they had never seen anyone throwing around terms like "secret love child" and "shameless" like this. It showed a complete lack of class.
