Chapter 412 Don’t Blame Her for Being Ruthless
Was she so good that she could make him overcome the
wounds in his heart, change his attitude towards Mia, and
view her parents’ tragic fate rationally? It was not ingratitude. but a form of overcoming and maturity.
This kind of change was making Mia start to feel afraid.
The favor her parents showed him was the most effective tool
she could use to manipulate him. If he became rational, then this tool would lose its meaning.
With the posture of pushing open the door, Huston
maintained his position. As Mia waited for his response, he replied coldly, “No matter whether she is
good or not, it has nothing to do with you.”
Mia didn’t know how she got out of the bedroom. She only
knew that she was extremely humiliated. Huston drove her
out. Yes, she was driven out. She saw disgust in his eyes.
He hated sleeping with her.
This realization made Mia feel like she had fallen into an icy
cave. At this moment, it seemed that she truly understood how

vastly different her position was compared to Evelyn in
Huston’s eyes.
In his eyes, there was only Evelyn.
Mia smiled. “Well, let’s wait and see.” Since her pleas and compromises couldn’t make him change his
mind, he shouldn’t blame herself for being ruthless!
After spending a night at home, the next day, Evelyn noticed a slight bluish tinge under her eyes when
she woke up. Perhaps
it was because she hadn’t been home for so long that sleeping
in this bed, which she had slept in for over a decade, felt
somewhat unfamiliar.
The bed in the Royal Villa was softer than the one at home,
and she had already grown accustomed to it during the six months she had been living there.
Today was New Year’s Eve. Their whole family members were
going to have dinner together. In addition to Evelyn and her
parents, her two uncles and their family would be there. Her
grandmother had three sons, with Ben being the second eldest. The dining table would always be filled
with a large group of people during such gatherings.
Dinner was arranged at a hotel not far from home. It wasn’t
particularly large, but it had a decent setting. Since it was close by, Evelyn and her parents decided to
go ahead and
check out the menu in advance.
“This year, your uncle’s son is coming back. He has been abroad for two years, and he’s flaunting it this
time. I heard he
passed the master’s program in economics over there,” said Lucy, shaking her head as if recalling
something. Her tone
carried a hint of helplessness. “Your grandmother has always
favored your eldest uncle and him. I’m sure she’s overjoyed this year.””
Evelyn knew about Lucy’s situation in this family all these
years. When Lucy was young, she had suffered a lot. Evelyn had heard that her grandmother had only
visited Lucy once
when Evelyn was born. She reached out and held her mother’s
weathered hand, comforting her with a tender voice, “Mom, I’m here with you.”.
“Alas.” Lucy sighed and didn’t want Evelyn to see the emotions
in her eyes. She turned to look out of the window and said, “Your father and I have been together for so
many years. It doesn’t matter anymore.”
Evelyn didn’t know what to say to comfort Lucy, so she could
only hold her hand tightly.
At seven o’clock in the evening, members of the Shelton family

entrance to welcome them.
Her eldest uncle’s family was the last to arrive. In addition to
the family of three, her cousin Samuel Shelton also brought his girlfriend.
The girl was very petite, about 1.6 meters tall. Although her facial features were not prominent, her skin
was good. She looked quiet and sweet, which was also pleasing to the eye.
Evelyn was a little surprised but still politely welcomed them into the house. At this point, the whole
family finally arrived,
and dinner had also started.
Her grandfather was a high school teacher who was accustomed to making speeches. During family
gatherings, he always had a lot to say. He was a cultured person who supported Evelyn in studying
law. However, after Evelyn got married and couldn’t focus on her career, he became more
concerned about Samuel with a sense of disappointment.
Now that Samuel had gotten a master’s degree and brought his girlfriend back, he was naturally
overjoyed. “Samuel
is back this year, and he also brought his girlfriend. Your grandma and I are really happy. Having such a
child’s a great honor for our family!”
After hearing this, the eldest uncle and his wife couldn’t stop
smiling and praising their son incessantly, making other family members feel somewhat awkward.
