A Night of Desire

Chapter 401 - 394: Grabbed Her Hair

Sarah Shelby shot Yvette Zimmerman a mocking look. "Hah. Ma’am, haven’t you already accepted my mother and me? If I’m the second daughter of the Shelby family, why would I need a servant to announce my arrival in my own home? Or is this all just an act? You accept us on the surface to earn a reputation for being virtuous, but deep down, you’ve never considered us part of the family, have you?"

Yvette Zimmerman was so angry she was shaking. Gritting her teeth, she could only force out a single word. "You!"

Sarah Shelby’s target today was Autumn Shelby, not Yvette Zimmerman. So, she ignored her and turned to face Autumn.

"Autumn Shelby, it’s been so long since you broke off your engagement to Seth Quinn. Now that you’re back, you’re trying to destroy someone else’s happiness. He’s clearly found his own happiness with someone he loves, yet you’re still trying to snatch him back. So who’s the one with no manners, you or me?"

However, the words had barely left her mouth when Evan Shelby cut in with a sharp rebuke. "Sarah!"

Although Evan Shelby had always favored his younger daughter, his face was now clouded with anger, and his tone was harsh.

’They were both his daughters, yet here they were, accusing each other of having no manners. Aren’t they just embarrassing him, their own father?’

’And was Sarah really blaming her sister for Clara Grant? She’d stormed in here to berate her own flesh and blood for an outsider, for a so-called "best friend." Did the girl have any sense of loyalty?’

Sarah froze. ’He didn’t get angry when Autumn accused me of having no manners, but now that I’ve said it, he’s this furious?’

Despite knowing her father was angry, she didn’t back down an inch. "But it’s the truth! She’s the one who left him first. Now she regrets it and thinks she can just snatch him back?

"Clara and Seth just went public with their relationship, and you’ve already stirred up so much trouble they’re on the verge of breaking up. You’re so selfish! You only care about yourself and have no regard for anyone else’s happiness. But do you really think that driving Clara away from Seth will make him yours again?

"Hah. Can’t you see where you stand in Seth’s heart? You think he’s yours, but he has never truly had you in his heart. Don’t you remember how he treated you back when you were together?"

Autumn shot back without hesitation, "Sarah, have you lost your mind? What do you think you’re doing? Are you trying to stand up for Clara Grant? You need to remember, I am your sister. We’re the family here, and you’re siding with an outsider?

"So what if I want to take Seth back? What right does Clara Grant have to be with him? A low-born piece of trash, a bastard our Shelby family threw out. She thinks she can compete with me? She dreams of marrying into the Quinn family, a common pheasant trying to become a phoenix? Is she even worthy?!"

As soon as Autumn finished speaking, Sarah started rolling up her sleeves and advanced on her. "Autumn Shelby, who are you talking about? Who are you calling a piece of trash? Who are you calling a bastard?"

’It was one thing when they insulted her, but she refused to stand by while they insulted Clara!’

"I’m talking about Clara Grant!" Autumn raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with disdain. "What, you didn’t know? Your so-called best friend, Clara Grant, is a bona fide bastard. Her mother had her out of wedlock, and she doesn’t even know who her real father is! Hah. No wonder you two became such good friends."

Her implication was clear: Sarah and Clara were both the same kind of low-born trash.

That was the last straw. Sarah couldn’t take it anymore. Quick as a flash, she lunged forward and grabbed a fistful of Autumn’s hair.
