Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)

Mrs. Jacob had never expected that the lenient Elaine would refute her.

Not only that, but she also talked back to her.

Mrs. Jacob stared at her in disbelief as Elaine pushed her away. "W-What did you just say?"

Pursing her lips indignantly, Elaine growled, "Did I say anything wrong? Every word I said is true. You know very well how you treated me these years. I didn't argue with you in the past because I thought of you as my family, but I was too naive. I regarded you as a family, but you never regarded me as one!"

"All you want is to get benefits from me and treating me like an ATM machine. You even sold me to Allen!"

Looking straight at her mother, she continued, "Mom, you not only didn't treat me as a family member, but also didn't treat me as a human being."

Hearing her words, a flash of anger crossed Mrs. Jacob's face. "Who told you this?"

"Why must I hear it from someone? I can feel it by myself!"

Elaine was totally heartbroken. Before she came home, she had some hope instilled in her heart.

However, when she saw the way her mother treating her, her heart broke into a million pieces.

It would only take a second to shatter a person's heart.

Mrs. Jacob was exasperated. "Yes, I don't like you! What can you do about it? Don't forget that you are my daughter! You are getting more and more hot-tempered, and you even dare to talk back to me. I'll kill you, you little ungrateful thing!"

As she said that, she swung her palm towards Elaine's face.

Mrs. Jacob liked to beat her up whenever she was in a bad mood.

Back then, she would endure as much as she could.

But now, she couldn't bear it anymore.

She raised her hand to block her mother's hand.

Widening her eyes in disbelief, Mrs. Jacob shouted, "How dare you!"

Letting go of her mother's hand, Elaine snapped, "Mom, stop it!"

"You lil snip, how dare you stop me!"

Enrages, Mrs. Jacob started to fling her arms at her, but Elaine fought back and pushed her aside.

After all, despite her loud voice, she was old and not as strong as Elaine, so she couldn't do anything to Elaine.

"You d*mned girl! How dare you attack your own mother! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"

Mrs. Jacob pounced on her as if she had gone mad.

When women fought, the only thing they could do was to scratch the opponents' faces and pulled their hair.

Blocking her mom away, Elaine was gasping for breath, feeling that her mother was crazy.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the door, and it was Zoe's voice, "Mom, are you home..."

"Zoe, come here!"

When Mrs. Jacob heard Zoe's voice, she screamed, "Come in here, quick!"

With that, Zoe ran in immediately and was astounded by the scene. "Elaine? When did you get home? Mom, what are you doing? What happened?" Zoe went up to pull her mother aside.

With disheveled hair, Mrs. Jacob was panting. "This lass is trying to beat me up! "

However, there were scratch marks on Elaine's neck, arms, and chin.

Zoe sneered. Who was the one who started the fight first?

"Elaine, how can you hit Mom!" Zoe condemned her.

At this moment, there was another sound at the door. It was Mr. Jacob. He reeked of alcohol and was looking upset.

As soon as he entered, he kicked over a stool and snapped, "Shut up! I can hear your scream outside!"

Mrs. Jacob seemed to be afraid of him as she shrank her shoulders and didn't dare to make a sound.

Pulling her mother to the kitchen, Zoe said, "Dad, well make dinner."

Her father stared at Elaine and asked, "When did you come back?"

"In the afternoon."

"How many days will you stay?"

"I don't know."

He frowned in disdain. "Were you fired?"

She didn't say anything.

Suddenly, he stood up and yelled, "Did you really lose your job?"

Taking a step back, Elaine said, "No, I still have the job. I just came back for a few days."

"That's more like it." Her father sat down and extended his hand towards her. "You haven't transferred your money since last month. Now that you're back, give me along with this month's money." With a hum, she replied, "I'll give you tomorrow. It's too late today, and I want to rest."

After that, regardless of her father's shout, she directly closed the door, locked it, and blocked the door with a chair before heaving a sigh of relief.

Outside the door, her father was banging on the door furiously and asking her to open it.

Elaine pulled the quilt over her head, pretending that she didn't hear anything.

The next day, Elaine woke up from hunger. Everyone was still sleeping, so she tiptoed to the bathroom to wash up.

When she was done, the door was opened and Zoe walked in.

"Zoe," she let out a cry.

With a smile, Zoe relented, "You must be frightened by what Mom did yesterday."

Elaine simply asked, "What's the matter?"

"Can't we just talk? We're sisters."

However, Elaine turned around and went out. "Go on. I'm going to buy some food."

Zoe shouted behind her, "Buy something nice. Don't be stingy."

In the past, she always visited the market since she cooked for her family, so the vendors were familiar with her.

"Elaine, You're back. I haven't seen you for ages! Look at you, getting more and more beautiful."

"Elaine is very good at cooking. Her parents are so lucky."

"Here, I just caught the fish this morning. I'll give it to you at a lower price."

After buying the food and going home, her parents were up.

As her mother looked at the bags in her hands, she snorted, "Didn't you say that you don't have money? How did you buy so many things then?"

Without saying anything, she went into the kitchen and put the bags on the counter.

Coming out of the kitchen, she saw her father coming out of her bedroom, which was where she slept yesterday.

A frown formed on her face.

Grumpily, her father demanded, "Hey, you only have clothes in your luggage. What's the money? Do you keep all of them on you?"

With a sarcastic smile, she rebuked, "I didn't bring any money back!"

"How did you buy the food then? Don't lie to me! Hurry and give me the money now!"

Her father extended his hand at her. "Hurry up!"

Taking a step back, Elaine uttered, "I really don't have any money. I use the changes in my pocket to buy the food. I didn't even bring back my bank card since I only plan to come back for a few days..." "Do you think I'm a fool? How can you not bring the bank card home with you?" Grabbing her hair rudely, her father demanded with a ferocious look, "Give me the money!"

Elaine struggled, but she couldn't free herself from him. "I really have no money..."

Enraged, her father was about to slap her when there was a sudden loud noise downstairs.

"Lorenzo Jacob, come down!"

Upon hearing that, Mr. Jacob retracted his hand and pushed Elaine away.

Mrs. Jacob grumbled, "Who is it? I think I heard something's been smashed." "Dad, who is it? Is it the mafia?" Zoe stuttered nervously.

Mr. Jacob pushed Mrs. Jacob to the stairs and urged, "Go and have a look. Hold them for me. I'll escape through the window."

"D*mn you!" Mrs. Jacob cried in a low voice. "How can you let me go down there? What if they are the mafia?!"

Mr. Jacob kicked her away. "You are all women. They won't dare to do anything to you. If they do, call the police! No matter what, hold them, and don't let them come up here!"
