Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 321 It Seems There's Still a Fair Person

Victoria grew up in Ridgefield, and being the youngest child, she naturally favored her youngest sibling's family. When her oldest brother wanted to marry Barbara, she objected. That woman seemed unable to bear children just by looking at her. They had a big fight over it, but in the end, Victoria couldn't persuade him. It turned out, after they got married, they discovered that Barbara was already pregnant before the wedding.

Victoria was furious because if she had known Barbara was already pregnant, she could have saved the $3,000 wedding gift. That night, she scolded Barbara and demanded money, all while keeping her pregnancy a secret, as if she was entitled to it!

So, on the second day of Barbara and James' marriage, Victoria gave them the crumbling annex and took back the $3,000. Barbara was an art student, and although her family was considered decent, it wasn't anything extraordinary, just a small county town. Plus, there was no one left in her family, which only made Victoria angrier.

Without the support of her family, it meant no dowry. Once this woman married into the Fair family, she would be subjected to Victoria's bullying.

Unfortunately, the oldest son seemed to really like Barbara, and they had more than one altercation as a result. After their child was born, James took Barbara to New York, and the two elders were convinced that life wouldn't be easy for this couple in New York. They cut off contact as well, to avoid asking them for money.

Who would have expected that the oldest son's family was living in a mansion in New York all these years without contacting them? Victoria was furious, as if it was her own money being wasted!

Selena calmly sat down on the sofa and said, "Didn't you all agree not to contact each other back then?"

Those were the words uttered when Barbara brought Selena to Ridgefield and the two elders were hitting each other with brooms. Selena's pupils darkened, and without hesitation, she looked straight at Victoria. "You said it yourself, that we shouldn't let anyone lacking in money into the Fair family's doors."

Victoria's face stiffened. She did say those words back then, but she never expected Selena, who was so young at the time, to remember them so clearly.

"Selena, I'm your grandmother! Don't you understand the importance of respecting elders and caring for the young? It seems your parents never taught you that. Well, today I shall teach you a lesson!"

In Ridgefield, mother-in-law abusing daughter-in-law was not uncommon, and Victoria had physically confronted Barbara many times before. This dominant mother-in-law, coupled with her constant pressure for more children, had put Barbara at a disadvantage. She had just given birth, and yet Victoria was urging her to conceive another child as soon as possible and even suggested getting rid of their newborn daughter. After all, there were plenty of abandoned babies, especially girls, in the hospital at that time. Everyone hoped for a son. The poorer the place, the more common it was.

The more she wanted to have a son. Selena found it amusing, but she also wanted to know why Victoria and Arthur came over today.

Victoria had already approached and raised her hand to slap Selena, but Selena grabbed her wrist and pushed her away.

Although Victoria was agile, she didn't have the strength of a young person. With this push, she almost fell down.

She looked at Selena incredulously, "You dare to push me?"

Selena was getting impatient and looked at Beatrice.

"Beatrice is the current mistress of the Fair family. Are you really not going to intervene?"

Beatrice had been quietly standing to the side, trying to lower her presence, and now she looked up pretending to be well-behaved. "Selena, they are still my parents. What can I do?"

Victoria had intended to argue, but upon hearing Beatrice's words, she suddenly felt relieved.

"It seems there is still a fair-minded person. You're Beatrice, right? Since the eldest is still not awake, and you handle everything in the house, should we give you several hundred thousand dollars for me and your dad's first visit? And your family hasn't contacted the youngest in New York for so long. Do you know he bought a house there, 70 square meters, costing over 5 million dollars? He took out a mortgage and is heavily in debt. The eldest never helped him back then. Shouldn't you help your younger brother pay off the mortgage for this house?"
