When thinking the Griffin Family was good, she thought of Yasmine.
Now hearing that the Griffin Family has problems, she wants to marry her off there.
The favoritism shown by the mother to her biological daughters is too severe!
Joyce Leighton continued, "The Griffin Family's conditions are excellent. Your Uncle Monroe is fond of you; otherwise, he wouldn't have found such a good match for you. You won't find another like this even with a lantern in hand!"
"No, I'm not going."
Seeing her like this, Joyce Leighton was displeased, "Scarlett, what's your deal? Do you think I'm giving you face? I'm talking to you nicely, and look at your attitude! You're always out and about, never staying home, and you've never brought a boyfriend back. Now when I'm introducing you to someone, this is how you act? How did you end up with such a peculiar personality just like your father? You're really going to drive me mad!"
Whenever Joyce Leighton was unhappy, she would bring up Scarlett's father to make a point.
Scarlett's father was an unlikeable person, fond of drinking and hitting people.
This was the reason Joyce divorced him.
After remarrying, she married Uncle Monroe, who was a really good man. Her marriage to Scarlett's father seemed like her dark past.
Whenever she recalled it, she would become very unhappy, and even view Scarlett as if she were a plague.
In the first couple of years after moving to the Monroe Family, Scarlett was actually hopeful that her mother would care for her, would love and care for her as she did when she was young.
Later she realized that no matter what she did, how obedient or well-behaved she was, or how good her grades were, she would never surpass Yasmine, who constantly worried her mother, in her mother's heart.
Fortunately, over the years, she became used to it. As long as she didn't hold expectations, she wouldn't feel sad.
So, whatever Joyce Leighton said, Scarlett didn't care anymore.
She told Joyce, "Since the Griffin Family is so great, let Yasmine marry into it. I'm not Uncle Monroe's daughter, marrying over there, they wouldn't approve of me."
"I'm doing this for your good, and you're being ungrateful."
Scarlett chuckled, "Yeah, I'm ungrateful, but isn't it because you didn't teach me well?"
Scarlett wondered how Joyce could even say the words 'for her good'.
After hearing Scarlett say this, Joyce was displeased, "You just upset me every day, complaining that I made a mistake by bringing you to the Monroe Family! When your dad passed away, which of the Xavier Family's aunts and uncles wanted to take care of you? None of them did. If it weren't for the Monroe Family, would you have what you have today? Now that there's trouble at home, you're not even helping, you're truly ungrateful."
"..." Hearing her mother bring up the past, Scarlett thought about the old days again.
After her father passed away, Scarlett was originally supposed to be raised by relatives. Her father had four sisters and a brother. However, while they seemed caring on the surface, they argued endlessly behind her back over who should take her in.
After all, each family had their own children, and no one wanted the burden of taking her in.
She felt like she was garbage, being shunned from one to another.
It was Uncle Monroe who spoke up and said he would bring her to the Monroe Family.
After arriving, although he had a daughter himself, he never rejected her. Whatever he bought for Yasmine, he would also buy for her, treating her very well.
Although her biological mother was biased, Uncle Monroe was truly good to her.
When things were good at home, Uncle Monroe would come back to accompany the family whenever he had time. But recently, he had been coming home later and later, and when she saw him last night, she noticed his hair had turned quite white.
Wanting to marry her off to the Griffin Family, perhaps he really had no other choice.
