Chapter 184 Logan's Self-Righteousness
Hearing that Adeline was about to reveal the truth, Viola, at the right moment, welled up with tears and quickly interrupted.
"Sis, I never thought you were this petty. After all, I'm Logan's little sister. What's wrong with him accompanying me to visit this mansion? Since you dislike me so much, I'll leave. But you shouldn't address Auntie by her name. It's disrespectful."
After speaking, Viola unconsciously glanced at Victoria.
Victoria had promised to bring her to the old mansion, giving her and Logan some alone time, with the condition that she prevented Adeline from revealing the truth.
So, she had to fulfill this mission properly.
Victoria visibly relaxed.
Logan, with a stern expression, scolded Adeline, "Adeline, the way you said that was unreasonable!"
Adeline was stunned.
Not just her, but upstairs, Yetta and Alston, who were watching the scene unfold, were also taken aback to varying degrees.
Logan, with the posture of a boyfriend scolding his girlfriend for her own good, continued, "You used to say that Viola and your mom bullied you. Think about what you just said. It's clearly you bullying Viola."
Viola cried at the right moment. "Logan, finally, you are standing up for me."
Victoria secretly chuckled. It seemed bringing Viola to the old mansion to disrupt things was the right decision.
Logan gestured to Viola not to be sad and continued to reprimand Adeline, "I can understand why you used to dislike Jodie, but Viola is your sister! Even if she occasionally acts out, you are her sister! You should understand and be more tolerant."
"Ridiculous! Does being a sister mean suffering like this?" This hit a nerve with Adeline, and her presence became stronger, her gaze sharper.
"I've heard this argument a hundred times since I was little. You all emphasize how a big sister should be and what a big sister should do. Is a big sister meant for taking care of a whole family? Who will protect the big sister's rights and happiness?"
"Well said!" Curtis chimed in. "The relationship between sisters and brothers should be based on equality. Everyone who comes into this world doesn't live for others. Older sisters also have the right to be willful. Besides, Viola is already an adult. She's not a child. Why should Adeline have to accommodate her every time?"
"Uncle Curtis! I just didn't want Adeline to have a bad relationship with her family. Why are you adding fuel to the fire?"
As he spoke, Logan still looked at Adeline in a lecturing manner.
"Moreover, how can you directly address Mom by her name? Adeline, I know you're angry, but you should direct that anger at me. If Mom is also upset, she can also direct it at me. I can handle it all. As long as we build a harmonious family together, I don't mind taking the heat from both sides."
Adeline was so exasperated that her eyes rolled back. She wanted to say something, but then a call from an unknown number came in.
After answering her phone, she heard a girl sobbing on the other end.
"Teacher, please save me..."
Adeline's body trembled. It was Quinna!

"Teacher, I have no one else to turn to. Everyone refuses to help me. Teacher..."
Adeline's expression turned serious. "Where are you?"
"I'm at Royal Bar."
"Royal Bar?" Before Adeline could inquire further, the caller hung up.
Adeline looked anxious, and Yetta hurriedly came downstairs to ask, "What happened? Are you going to Royal Bar? I have a VIP card for that place."
Saying this, Yetta took out a VIP card from her wallet.
"Thank you." Adeline took the card and was about to leave.
Curtis glanced at her and reminded, "Take Sara with you."
Adeline nodded appreciatively and then rushed out.
She liked the unconditional support from Curtis!
Seeing Adeline leave, Victoria showed a hint of satisfaction.
Rebecca was still quite reliable! She said she would help distract Adeline and she did it.
After witnessing Adeline leave without explanation, Logan felt somewhat annoyed. He then turned to Viola.
"Don't be upset. I'll take you to explore the old mansion."
Victoria smiled kindly. "Alright, Logan, take care of Viola. I'll go visit your grandma for a while."
