After being released, Erica wandered outside to find some peace of mind before returning home. When she arrived home, it was already in the evening, and the sun was no longer scorching as it was at noon.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
As Erica opened the door and was about to step inside, Kora’s mother immediately threw Erica’s belongings out of the door and shouted at her to leave.
“Get out! Leave my house,” The woman with black hair yelled and glared at Erica continuously, cursing her: “This is not a charity place to shelter you.”
After a moment of shock, Erica immediately glared at Kora’s mother. Her anger boiled inside her.
“What are you doing?” Erica growled, questioning Mom Kora.
“Don’t you see? Or are you blind?” Kora’s mother sneered at Erica: “I’ll say it one more time, get out of here right now.”
“What gives you the right to kick me out? This is my house. The ones who should leave are you and your daughter,” Erica argued back loudly, her voice seething with anger, not backing down from the other woman.
The woman continued to do her job, throwing Erica’s remaining bags of belongings out the door. Erica watched as the bags flew out, quickly dodging to avoid being hit by any of them.
Unable to stand still, Erica turned around and shouted indignantly.
“Will you stop? If you’re stubborn, don’t blame me for not warning you.” Erica gritted her teeth menacingly.
“What are you going to do to me? I tell you, this is not your house from now on.”
The sharp, sour woman retorted, then casually laughed, mocking Erica.
“What the hell are you talking about? That sounds ridiculous. The ones who need to get out of here are you and Kora, so pack up and get out of here for me.” Erica snapped back, “Don’t forget that this is my parents’ house, and I have the right to kick you out.”
The woman stopped laughing and looked at Erica with a sneer.
“Did you forget that you already signed the inheritance transfer papers? This happened a few hours ago. Now, all your assets belong to Kora, including this house.”
“Before your uncle passed away, he told me to take care of you. I thought I would respect him, and let you stay here if you obey. But it seems impossible. what you did to me and Kora, that’s too much. Hurry and get out of my sight.”
Erica lifted her head up, trying to maintain a brave face:
“Aren’t you afraid of being punished for your greed? And I will expose the dirty tricks of you and your mother.”
“Go ahead, let’s see who will believe you. Will the court stand with you or with me?”
The woman challenged Erica with arrogance and contempt, both provocative and insulting, causing Erica to lose her composure.
“Who would listen to a girl who rebelled against her own family’s care for her? Not to mention the brutal act that nearly killed Kora and her unborn child. Even small children can understand this basic principle. Yet you don’t seem to understand? Poor thing!”
Erica exploded in anger, wanting to rush in and hit the woman but had to restrain herself. She couldn’t fall for the enemy’s provocation again.
“What can you do to me, Erica Nelson?” The old woman challenged her. “You’ve lost everything, and now you’re nothing but a stinking cockroach, easily crushed under my foot.”
That mocking smile made Erica want to smash the ugly face of Kora’s mother.
“Do you think you can easily get rid of me? Dream on,” Erica snarled each word, the pent-up resentment finally bursting out.
Erica was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to control herself and step forward to choke the woman who kept laughing at her.
The wretched, vile woman was so despicable…
Both Kora and Kora’s mother were truly despicable.
Without thinking twice, Erica walked boldly towards the door, wanting to intimidate the woman to vent her anger.
“What are you planning to do? It’s best to leave here quietly. I don’t want to use force,” Kora’s Mom stood there, blocking Erica’s way.
Erica continued to advance, emitting a fierce aura. The woman screamed for help, calling out to the people inside the house.
Immediately, a burly man larger than Erica appeared. He violently grabbed Erica’s collar and threw her out of the house.
Damn it! Erica had to restrain herself, she was weaker now.
The door slammed shut behind Erica. It felt like someone had just thrown away something worthless, making her feel useless. The feeling was even worse, filled with anger and frustration, but powerless to do anything about it. Erica was not satisfied, she tried to bang on the door again.
“Open the door, me and you are not finished yet.”
Erica shouted loudly, screaming until her throat was sore. Inside, there was still silence.
The neighbors only came out to see what the fuss was about. It was so frustrating. They didn’t know anything and judged Erica like she was the one who deserved to be criticized more than the mother and daughter Kora.
Despite her anger, Erica eventually left. She lazily carried her bags, muttering curses at Kora’s mother.
…
As Erica left the house she had been attached to for twelve years, Kora came down from upstairs. Seeing her mother, Kora asked what had happened that caused all the commotion. Kora listened as her mother recounted the story from start to finish. After hearing it, Kora scolded her mother for not taking the video clip that Erica was holding before kicking her out. Kora also expressed concern that Erica would come back for revenge. From the beginning, the plan of the mother and daughter was to take possession of the assets and imprison Erica. The longer Erica stayed in jail, the better. But unexpectedly, Erica was smart enough to find a way to escape. With no other option, Kora and Kora’s mother reluctantly agreed to comply with Erica’s conditions. However, Kora still had another plan, which was to erase all evidence related to herself after Erica signed the agreement. The video clip recording the signing process was a double-edged sword. It could harm Kora in the future. To accomplish her goal, Kora needed Erica to return home. Kora guessed that Erica would come back to retrieve her belongings, and that would be the opportune time for Kora to strike. However, when Erica showed up, Kora’s Mom had already kicked her out without saying a word to Kora. Once again, the situation was beyond Kora’s expectations. This made Kora very angry.
After listening to Kora’s analysis. Ms. Luna – Kora’s mother has admitted her mistake. Luna tells Kora to let her handle this. She will definitely get the video back from Erica. Even destroy Erica once and for all. So that Kora doesn’t have to live in fear.
With her decision, after talking to Kora, Mrs. Luna immediately called someone.
…
At this moment, Erica carried her suitcase, not knowing where to go. She wandered the streets aimlessly. The darker it got, the more tired her feet became. Erica didn’t want to bother anyone, so she had no intention of calling on friends or acquaintances for help.
Tonight, Erica might have to sleep outside. With that sad thought, Erica looked up at the sky and sighed with bitterness.
