Chapter 917
Alyssa was buzzed in her ears by the slap.
She looked at Rachel blankly, a little dazed.
Alyssa covered her face and asked in a low voice, “Mom, why are you hitting me…”
Her voice was so small that only she could hear her.
But the room was too quiet, and she and Rachel were so close, Rachel could still hear what she said.
“What did I tell you?” Rachel looked at her sternly: “How many times have I told you so that you don’t annoy your sister! But just now, you dare to scold her!”
Rachel still felt angry when she talked about this.
“Do you know how much effort it took to make her treat me better? And what you did today made all my efforts vanish!”
“Are you satisfied now?”
“Are you my daughter or my enemy?”
Faced with a series of accusations made by Rachel, Alyssa opened her lips, but could not speak.
She didn’t know what she was going to say.
Every word in every sentence of Rachel is an accusation.
But she didn’t know where she had done wrong.
She didn’t think she was scolding Isabel, she was just arguing with Isabel.
From her perspective, it is clear that Isabel did something wrong.
However, Rachel didn’t say anything about Isabel’s wrongdoing, and just blindly accused her.
Rachel saw that she was silent, thinking that she finally realized her mistake.
Rachel let out a long sigh of relief, leaned over to look at her face, looked at her and said: “Alyssa, mom was a little excited just now, but I hope you can understand mom, and I don’t want to…”
She was blaming Alyssa for everything.
Alyssa clenched her hands, holding back the tears that were about to overflow, her voice was soft but firm: “It’s not like this.”
Rachel didn’t hear what she was saying for a while, so she asked, “What?”
Alyssa looked up at Rachel, with tenacity and stubbornness on her immature face.
Her tone was firm and clear: “Mom, it’s not what you said. It’s my sister who did something wrong. You are just caring about her. Even if she doesn’t like you, she shouldn’t push you.”
Alyssa still felt that she was not wrong.
Rachel was startled for a moment, and smirked: “Alyssa, I really can’t cure you anymore? You are becoming less and less obedient now. I told you such a great truth, but you listen to everything, but do not understand!”
Alyssa bit her lip: “I understand it in my heart.”
Rachel took a few heavy breaths, then raised her hand and let it go again.
The half of Alyssa’s face that she had slapped on was already swollen. Although she was angry that Alyssa was ignorant, she was her own daughter after all, and she couldn’t slap her hands again.
“I don’t have to go out for dinner, so I shut myself in my room and thought about it, when you understand my painstaking effort, and why come out for dinner.”
Rachel threw off these words and pushed the door out.
Alyssa heard a bang when the door closed.
She suppressed grievances and sadness began to erupt.
She sniffed hard, again and again.
But in the end, she couldn’t control crying.
Even if Rachel asked her to think behind closed doors, she still didn’t understand why she had to think about it.
She didn’t feel that she had done anything wrong at all.
Alyssa sat on the ground and started crying. While crying, she murmured: “It’s obviously my sister who was wrong…”
Chapter 918
At dinner, there was no servant or mom who knocked on the door and told Alyssa to eat.
She touched her flat belly, she was so hungry, she walked to the door, and wanted to open the door and take a look.
However, when she tried to open the door, she found that the door could not be opened at all.
Someone locked the door from outside.
Alyssa patted the door hard in a panic.
“Open the door!”
“Is anyone there? Open the door?”
“Mom, I was wrong, please open the door.”
“…”
Being locked up is a terrible thing for Alyssa, who is only seven years old.
Until she shouted that her voice became hoarse, no one came to open the door for her.
Because it was the family’s dinner time, everyone was in the dining room, and the servants were all downstairs.
Even if a servant passed by, she didn’t dare to open the door for Alyssa.
…
In the dining room downstairs.
Douglas sat in the main seat.
He looked around, a hint of majesty in his eyebrows.
Finally, his gaze fell on Rachel and asked, “Where is your daughter?”
Douglas frowned slightly, which showed that he was not very happy at this time.
Rachel has always been most afraid of Douglas who is the Boss of the Hunt family.
She knew that Douglas didn’t like her, so she made a lot of effort.
So many years have passed, Douglas’s attitude towards her has not changed.
Rachel lowered her head and looked at Douglas too much: “Alyssa is not feeling well, so she won’t eat dinner.”
Looking at Rachel’s appearance, Douglas felt that he was so angry.
He couldn’t help turning his head and glared at Colin: “Educating children is your own business, I will not interfere.”
Rachel didn’t quite understand what Douglas meant, so she turned to look at Colin.
Who knows, Colin glared at her.
Rachel was originally afraid of him, but when he stared at her like this, she panicked.
Isabel saw all Rachel’s reaction in her eyes.
The nine-year-old child already knows a lot.
At least she knows more than adults think.
Especially girls.
Colin respected Douglas very much.
Therefore, in private, he and his two children have also asked them to be obedient at dinner every day.
Because Douglas values ​​the dinner time every day, he can’t let the children make trouble.
Alyssa didn’t come down for dinner today, which undoubtedly made Douglas unhappy.
…
After dinner, Douglas went for a walk.
As soon as Douglas left, Isabel no longer had any scruples.
She narrowed her mouth and yelled, “Dad!”
“What’s wrong, baby!”
Colin really loves Isabel and Travis’s mother.
But not long after Isabel was born, her mother died. Colin regretted that she had lost her mother without knowing what her mother was like, so he loved her more.
Among Travis and Isabel, he would love Isabel more.
When he saw Isabel like this, his expression changed.
He turned his head to look at Rachel, his expression not gloomy: “What’s the matter? What’s wrong with Isabel?”
“I…” Rachel looked at Isabel and didn’t know how to speak.
Isabel interrupted her directly: “Dad, her daughter scolded me today.”
“Alyssa scolded you?” Colin’s expression became cold as soon as he heard her.
He turned his head and looked at Alyssa: “How did you educate your daughter? You let her scold Isabel? How did you become a mother! I asked you to take care of Isabel. Is this how you take care of her?”
