Chapter 9 What A Small World
Elizabeth did not want to reveal these things to Tiana, but Abby was a very talkative child.
Before Elizabeth could stop Abby, the latter had blunted everything out.
Tiana’s lips trembled as she was shocked to her core, listening to Abby.
“Triplets? Aren’t you amazing? Wait, no. I should be impressed by that old man. No wonder
you’re dressed in such miserable clothes. It must be costing you a fortune to raise three kids, I
suppose?”
Tiana smiled smugly at that thought. So what if she’s alive? I’m not afraid of her.
Abby took in Tiana’s disdainful look. Then she glanced at her mother’s expression. She had a
feeling that Tiana was not Elizabeth’s friend.
Abby pouted. “Lizzy, is she not a friend of yours? Why does she look at you with such an
unfriendly gaze?”
Elizabeth stared at her daughter. She did not wish for Abby to witness this scene.
As much as she hated Tiana and her mother, Elizabeth was reluctant for her three children to
inherit that hatred from her. Instead, she wanted them to grow up healthily and happily.
“Have your meal, Abby. I don’t know her, so let’s not talk to a stranger.”
Abby was an obedient child, so she heeded Elizabeth’s words and focused on eating her food
in silence afterward.
Tiana was in a good mood that day until she encountered Elizabeth. She had never expected
Elizabeth to be still alive. That acknowledgment had caused her to panic.
Nonetheless, Tiana did not pay much attention to Elizabeth’s existence. Judging by
Elizabeth’s current state, she was having enough trouble surviving, much less capable of seeking
revenge on Tiana and her mother. Elizabeth was now nothing like the prestigious Wade family’s
eldest daughter.
Recalling that Matthew might come over at any time, Tiana decided not to waste any more

time talking to Elizabeth and her daughter because she thought it would be embarrassing for
Matthew to see her mingling with lowly people like them.
Hence, she brushed her hair with her fingers and recomposed herself before wearing a
seductive smile.
“Enjoy your meal, Elizabeth. I’ll be sure to invite you to my wedding, so do bring along your
three children. There will be more delicious food at that time during my wedding day.” Feeling
proud of herself, Tiana added in a shrill voice, “I’m manying the heir to the most powerful family
in Mistwood, Matthew Hilton. Don’t you think that my life is so much better than yours?
Hahaha!”
She walked away afterward in a puffed-up manner.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth’s face gradually darkened. Tiana and her mother had harmed and set
her up when she was eighteen years old, causing her to become pregnant. In the end, she could
not bear to abort the children, so Elizabeth had never had the opportunity to attend university.
She had been working extremely hard every day for the past six years to afford the cost of
raising three children.
She wanted to avenge herself, and she wished to see the vicious mother-daughter duo getting
tormented in hell, but she did not have the ability to do so. That sudden helplessness and
grievances overwhelmed her at that instant.
In contrast to her wretched condition, Tiana was about to marry the most authoritative man in
Mistwood. Elizabeth had a hard time making peace with that awful feeling.
She felt that G*d was being unfair to her because those who did terrible things were being
rewarded with a blessed life.
“You’re still here, Ms. Wade!”
Esme’s voice was heard from behind. Then he said to the handsome man next to him, “Mi.
Hilton, this is Ms. Wade, who returned your coat earlier.”
Esme showed the bag in his hand to Matthew. It was only then that Matthew glanced at the

Two people sitting around the table.
He noticed that Elizabeth was wearing a beige sweater paired with blue jeans. Her outfit was
simple, but compared to her miserable appearance of the other day at the hospital, Matthew
thought Elizabeth looked very beautiful now.
He was especially enchanted by her big, bright eyes. Elizabeth’s captivating eyes tw*nkled
like the stars in a night sky.
Abby looked up while munching a mouthful of food when she heard the conversation.
“Oh, it’s you, Mi. Handsome. Do you know Lizzy?”
Matthew nodded. “I met with her at the hospital once when you were sick.”
Elizabeth knew Tiana was manying this man.
“Mi. Hilton, thank you for your coat,” she uttered coldly with a poker face.
Elizabeth sounded rude with the way she was expressing her gratitude.
Matthew had never expected to receive that piece of garment after giving it to her the other
day. Looking at her unpleasant attitude, he realized he had become a busybody by showing her
kindness that day.
“I’ll never wear clothes that others wore anyway, so you could’ve saved the trouble of
returning this to me, Ms. Wade.”
