Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 100

Julian slammed his hand on the table, his voice rising in anger. “And now you want Delia to hand over a million dollars to her? All these years, what has she even done—bought Delia a few trinkets? It’s bad enough to expect your cousin to pay you back for gifts, but what could possibly be worth a million?”

He turned to the head of the table, voice trembling with indignation. “Gabriel, Nora, Anastasia’s getting completely out of control! You two have got to rein her in this time!”

Nora glanced at her husband, her sigh heavy with resignation. “She’s not really my daughter. Lately, Anastasia’s been holding some kind of grudge against me. Who am I to discipline her?”

Gabriel, who had been frowning, wavering between irritation and uncertainty, snapped at that. “And why can’t you? You’ve raised her for years—what’s the difference? If that ungrateful girl dares to disrespect you, I’ll show her what discipline means!”

At that, the corner of Nora’s lips twitched ever so slightly.

Just then, the door opened and Anastasia walked in.

Seeing the whole family assembled, she couldn’t help but let a mocking smile flicker across her lips. Before anyone else could say a word, she seized the initiative.

“Well, since everyone’s here, is my million dollars ready?”

Gabriel, stung by her insolence, slammed the table so hard the dishes rattled. “Anastasia! I was beginning to wonder if maybe your cousin had wronged you, but now I see you’re fully capable of such a thing! Apologize to Delia. Now!”

Anastasia sauntered over and settled into a chair. “Apologize? For what, exactly?”

Gabriel’s face darkened. “You knew Delia didn’t bring her wallet, but convinced her to buy something worth over a hundred thousand, then refused to help her pay when the bill came. She was nearly detained by the shop. And you don’t think that deserves an apology?”

Anastasia snorted, glancing coldly at Delia. “I tricked you into buying something? That’s news to me.”

Delia shrank under her gaze, unable to meet her eyes.
