As soon as Alyssa heard the word 'sister-in-law', her face went dark just like the bottom of a pot.
She looked at Paige in a cold and somber look. Ifs looks could kill; Paige was sure that she would have been buried six feet under the ground with no way out. This time not even the richest man of the city could help her out from the mess this 'Justin' had created for her.
Paige gritted her teeth in extreme anger. Till last night, she did not even know this man. Why was this man behaving like he had some previous grudge on her? Was this man trying to get her killed?
Alyssa held Paige's hand and pulled her into the hall of the villa, then coldly let go.
She looked at Paige with ashen face, "Did the man just call you sister-in-law? Is he Joseph's cousin?"
"Yes." It wasn't that she could lie at this time.
Slap!!
Alyssa slapped Paige in the face with all her strength.
Paige's face swung to the side and her ears began to buzz. If she hadn't balanced herself, she would have already collapsed to the ground.
"You have no shame, do you? What were you thinking while getting involved with your husband cousin on the first day of your marriage!" Paige clenched her jaw hatefully, "If you want to die, just go and kill yourself! I'll even hand you a knife! But don't you dare drag us with you!"
When Alyssa turned away, Paige reached out to touch her face which was still in pain.
She coldly looked up to Alyssa, "Really? Do you think I was the one who kissed him first? You can't even ask what happened?"
Her dear mother didn't even ask her about the situation and directly declared her as the convict. It had always been like this. Every time something went wrong, no matter what happened or who was at fault, Paige was always first to be blamed.
The vase was broken? It must be Paige who broke it. Water splashed on the floor. It must be Paige who poured it. The trip went wrong? It was because Paige came with us.
Her mother wouldn't even bother asking her for a reason. Instead, she'd use insults and hands to do the talking.
'worthless', ' good for nothing ', 'wrench' -- every type of insult had been used by her mother while praising her. If Paige got a dim every time her mother insulted her, she would be a billionaire by now.
" One is an impotent and disguised piece of garbage, and the other is a normal and healthy man. I have eyes and you have eyes. It would be clear to everyone who to choose. You haven't already spent your wedding night with this 'cousin', have you?"
A soft feminine voice came from the stairway, gently and softly, but full of malice.
Seeking Paisley came down, Alyssa rushed to greet her. She smiled ear to ear. " Paisley, do you feel better? Do you need me to fetch you a cup of tea? Or do you want to turn down the AC?"
Alyssa addressed her so carefully as if she was a fine porcelain cup that she had just picked up from an auction.
" Thanks mom. I feel much better now." Paisley smiled gently with great innocence, but there was a certain glint in her eyes like one that held all the maliciousness in her heart.
She went towards Paige. " Paige, I can totally understand how you feel. But you should at least think about our family and show a little restraint. Do it for us."
From an upstairs window, she saw Paige and a man kissing in the car. That was the reason why she rushed down. What didn't surprise her was that Paige was kissing a man who couldn't have been her husband, but someone was actually kissing her ugly sister!
