Chapter 857 Hearing this, Zoey sensed that there had been sfriction between Viola and Amelia. Her heart sank- she hoped it wasn't related to the events surrounding Amelia.

"Please tellthe details. I want to know everything, no matter how minor," Zoey insisted.

After Poppy recounted everything she knew, Zoey summarized it.

"Three main issues. First, Viola appointed Amelia to manage the household but only allocated 30 percent of Barrett's salary to the family fund, while all her expenses, including clothing and monthly allowances, cfrom there "Second, after an argument with Amelia, Viola resorted to extrmeasures. She even gave Amelia scissors to stab her belly.

"Third, she complained that Amelia didn't buy enough Evergreen Pills for her. Did I get it all right?" Poppy nodded. "That's correct." "All this happened right before Amelia's suicide. What about before that? Was there any previous discord?" Poppy thought for a moment, then said, "There wasn't anything particularly severe, but Madam Viola always looked down on Madam Amelia, so there were probably sdisrespectful remarks.” "How disrespectful? To what extent?" "Mostly, she would say Madam Amelia cfrom a low background, had no education, and lacked dignity. She said Madam Amelia was just someone who knew how to schfor trivial gains, and that she couldn't win her husband's affection." Perhaps accustomed to the situation, Poppy no longer saw the disrespect as being particularly severe.

"Did she say these things to her face?" Zoey pressed.

"Yes, she did. Madam Viola insisted on saying such things directly. She said if she spoke behind Madam Amelia's back, it would make her look petty." Zoey frowned. "I want to call her insane, but that's not how insanity works. It seems a person's true nature can't be changed. She's even worse than a petty person." Zoey felt a deep-seated annoyance towards Viola. Was this really how she treated people? Meanwhile, Barrett trudged into Rebecca's room. His steps were heavy as he numbly delivered the news that the baby was gone.

Jonathan, who was also in the room, sprang to his feet incredulous. "He was born lifeless?" "Barely escaped losing both of them," Barrett said, his gaze fixed on his mom, filled with a mixture of grief and anger.

Rebecca's face turned pale and her lips trembled for a moment before she managed to utter, "How was I to know she was so useless?" You wanted your "Shut your mouth!" Jonathan exploded with fury. "What kind of mother-in-law are you? pregnant daughter-in- law to kneel outside Arcane Sanctum? Why don't you go kneel yourself?" Jonathan rarely spoke to his wife with such harshness. He had always been indecisive, allowing her to manage all the family affairs.

Rebecca seemed taken aback by his outburst. For a moment, she was speechless. Once she regained her composure, she trembled in anger.

"You're mad! You wantto kneel? What about the dignity of our family?" "What about your own life?" Jonathan shouted back.

"Stop this nonsense!" Barrett lifted his gaze, tears pooling in his eyes, his lips trembling slightly. "It hasn't been very long since Amelia died. Mom, don't you feel any responsibility for her death or Viola's suffering? Just because you're a mother-in-law doesn't mean you can treat them this way!" WWW
