RedNovelChapter 695:
Struggling with the fit, Aliza realized the designer's warning had been accurate. She had sucked in her breath to
zip it up, but the zipper refused to budge. Frustrated, she stormed out. “Was this dress designed to mock people?
Who could possibly fit into these ridiculous proportions?”
“Haha!” Marina burst into laughter.
The memory of Aliza manipulating her previously only fueled her current sense of satisfaction.
Attracted by the laughter, Aliza approached. She initially missed seeing Marina, instead spotting Carrie blocking
her view.
From a distance, Aliza called out, “Carrie, what gives you the right to laugh? Just because you belong to the
Morrison family? Remember, your grandma has passed, and you're nothing but a distant cousin they've ignored
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfor years. Even rich families have their black sheep. What are you now? Merely a woman who's been through a
divorce.”
Carrie coldly lifted her eyes. “True, I'm hardly special. Yet, my cousin, who adores me, dismisses you completely.
The man | don’t desire is the one you long for but can’t have, and now you're resorting to these underhanded
tricks just to try and pushaway.”
Inside, the men cast looks at Kristopher, ssympathetic, others taunting. Kristopher’s expression was stormy,
his silence heavy. He seemed poised to speak but ultimately held his tongue.
Carrie had named no one specifically. By speaking now, Kristopher would only implicate himself.
Marina emerged from behind Carrie, placing her hands on her hips and facing Aliza squarely. “Aliza, you wouldn't
dare cross the Morrison family, so you target the Webster family? Not even your parents can disrespect me
without consequence.”
Aliza’s arrogant demeanor crumbled, replaced by an expression of injury. “Marina, how can you accuseof
such things? | admit my oversight in handling the resources, but my intentions were for your benefit. And
besides...”
She paused, casting a significant look at Carrie. “She’s only a distant cousin, devoid of any real family ties after
decades of silence. Observe how she’s treated by the Morrison brothers. Is this how relatives behave?”
The sound of a slap echoed sharply.
Carrie's hand slapped sharply against Aliza’s cheek before she could complete her accusation.
With cold detachment, Carrie warned, “Speak with disrespect again, and it will be more than a slap.”
Dumbfounded, Aliza reached out to retaliate. “How dare you slapfor speaking the truth?”
Her strike was abruptly halted by a firm grasp on her wrist.
Kristopher intervened, glaring at Carrie while saying to Aliza, “Carrie remains a member of the Norris family,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmregardless of your feelings. You have no right to hit her.”
Carrie's response was cold. “Mr. Norris, please, our paths diverged long ago. | no longer belong with the Norris
family.”
