Arranged Marriage To The Rumored Ugly Beast: My Stunning Trouble

Chapter 8: Conflict

Mira burst into her mother's room, the door creaking as she entered. The scent of fresh perfume wafted through the air, mingling with the sound of Mrs. Claire's phone call. She was lying on the bed making a phone call.

"Mom!" Mira called out, rushing in, jumping into her mother's bed, and continuously calling her mother's name.

"Can't you see I'm making an important call, Mira?" Mrs. Claire said dissatisfied with her daughter's behavior.

"Forget about the call you're making, mum, there's good news," Mira said excitedly.

Ms. Claire furrowed her brow, "What good news?" she asked, dropping her phone beside her.

Mira was ecstatic and dancing on the bed. "Mama, I am so happy, my dream is finally coming true," she said joyfully.

Mrs. Claire asked, "What's the good news that has made you so happy? You're making me curious."

Mira explained, "I was in the sitting room having snacks when I saw Dad coming downstairs. I acted like a drama queen, I was as."

Mrs. Claire praised her daughter, "Yes, you are the queen of drama, the most beautiful."

Mira continued, "I started crying when I saw Dad coming down the stairs after visiting Lisa's room. He asked me what was wrong, and I begged him not to marry me off to Miller."

"Do you know what he said?" Mira asked.

Mrs. Claire shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

Mira exclaimed, "Dad said I should forget about the marriage! I am not getting married to Miller. I am free!"

Mrs. Claire's face lit up with a wicked smile. "What about the marriage? Is it canceled or not?" she asked seriously.

Mira admitted, "I'm not sure if the marriage is canceled, but Dad went into Lisa's room before he left. Do you think he will cancel the marriage, or did he go to her room to ask her to marry that awful person?"

Mrs. Claire didn't respond; she just smiled cunningly.

Outside the room, Lisa was standing in front of her stepmother's room, listening to their conversation. Earlier, when she came out of her room to find something to eat, she heard Mira's excited voice coming from the stepmother's room. She didn't originally plan to eavesdrop, but when she heard them mention her father's name, she stopped to listen and find out what they were planning.

After the conversation was over, she tiptoed away from their door and went downstairs. Mira and her mother came out of the room laughing loudly and happily, and then they all went to the sitting room together.

Lisa was in the sitting room eating snacks while dinner was not yet ready, and she was also watching TV quietly. As she heard footsteps approaching her, she didn't need to look to know who they were.

"Oh, who do we have here?" Mira said, standing in front of Lisa, folding her hands and laughing.

Lisa didn't say anything or look at them, she just continued eating her snacks and taking a sip of her drink.

Mira and her mother's faces turned ugly, scowling like angry lions.

"You didn't even see me? Am I too small that you couldn't greet me, you...you..." Lisa's stepmother said angrily.

Lisa looked at her stepmother and stepsister's angry faces. She opened her mouth as if to say something, picked up her snacks, and threw them into her mouth, then continued watching her TV show.

Mira and her mother's faces turned green. "Are you not going to answer me?" Lisa's stepmother said angrily.

Lisa didn't bother with them and continued watching her movie with her snacks on her lap. She continued eating.

"Lisa!" Mrs. Claire yelled. Mrs Claire Lisa's stepmother walked towards the table, grabbed the remote control, and switched off the TV. Lisa's face turned cold.

Lisa stood up, carrying her snacks, drink, and phone, and then walked past them.

"Mrs. Claire, draw her back, I am talking to you. You garbage," Mrs. Claire said angrily.

Lisa looked at Mrs. Claire's eye-to-eye with a smile. "If I am garbage, why are you talking to and holding a garbage like me?" she asked as she looked at her hand, which was grabbed by her stepmother. "I should tell you what it means," Lisa added.

Mrs.Claire let go of Lisa's hand.

"Because you and your daughter are garbage," Lisa calmly said, "so you are all garbage, except me," Lisa said calmly.

"How dare you call me your elder, a garbage," Mrs. Claire shouted and slapped Lisa with all her strength.

All the servants were scared. Some closed their eyes, and others shouted in shock, "Madam, no!" Everyone was waiting for the sound of a slap to echo, but nothing happened. They slowly opened their eyes.

Everyone was surprised by the scene in front of them. Lisa caught Mrs. Claire's hand in the air and looked at her with intense eyes.

Lisa's eyes flashed with fury, her voice icy. "Don't try that again." If you try to slap me next time, I won't be polite," Lisa warned.

Mrs. Claire's eyes gleamed with a mixture of anger and desperation, her face pale beneath her makeup.

Mrs. Claire tried to pull her hand out of Lisa's grip but to no avail.

"Why should I notice and greet you? I don't waste my time greeting people who don't need or deserve it. Today should be the last time you raise your hand to slap me. I'm not your servant that you can order around and slap whenever you want to," Lisa said coldly, looking at her stepmother with a triumphant expression.

Mrs. Claire felt shivers down her spine because of Lisa's menacing gaze.

Lisa, how dare you disrespect and even hit my mother? Are you stupid? Mira roared as she rushed towards Lisa to beat her up.

Lisa looked at her with a cold glance, sending chills down Mira's spine. Mira knew that this was Lisa's last warning and she immediately backed off.

She feels overshadowed by Lisa and useless before Lisa, she greeted her teeth, why can't I beat this b***h why is she stealing my spotlight in every way.

Mera feels insecure about her worth whenever she sees Lisa.

Lisa released Mrs. Claire, who fell to the ground with a loud bang and started shouting.

The butler and maids, besides being shocked like everyone else, became scared and started preparing for the worst when their master arrived.

Mira rushed toward Lisa, pointing at her and shouting, "How dare you push my mom, you bully?"

"You're consumed by your own envy," Mera spat, her words dripping with disdain.

"You are jealous, that's why you're trying to harm my mother," Mira said angrily. "Are we the ones who asked your useless mother to die and leave you?" Mira asked, looking at Lisa with a withering gaze.

Smack! Lisa slapped Mira hard across the face, causing her to fall to the ground.

Everyone's mouths widened in shock again. Lisa had never reacted like this before, even when Mira or her stepmother had insulted her or her late mother, she wouldn't react like this. They would always blame Lisa, even if they were at fault. And Lisa will take the blame for them.

Mira fell to the ground, her face swelling immediately. She feel useless in front of Lisa.

She cried out in pain "Ah, Mom," Mira cried out in pain, staring at Lisa with tears streaming down her face.

Mrs. Claire was so angry that she jumped up from the ground and rushed towards Lisa in anger.

The butler rushed forward to calm her down, "Madam, please calm down. Don't do anything to hurt our first miss," the butler pleaded. But Mrs. Claire pushed him very hard, and he fell and hit his head on the glass table, fainting directly.

All the servants shouted in shock, but Mrs. Claire didn't even care. She grabbed Lisa. And slapped her hard across her beautiful face and five fingerprints appeared on Lisa's face.

"Lisa's eyes narrowed, her gaze fixed on her stepmother's twisted face. The air was thick with tension as Mrs. Claire's hand shot out, her palm cracking against Lisa's cheek. The sound echoed through the room, followed by a moment of stunned silence."

She grabbed Lisa by the hair and started beating and biting her. She was saying, I will kill you, you evil demon, she said angrily.

"Mrs. Claire's eyes gleamed with a mixture of anger and desperation, her face pale beneath her makeup. 'You're just like your mother,' she spat, her voice trembling with rage." :

"You're the spitting image of your mom, Lisa, and that's not a compliment," she shouted, I will kill you, you stupid useless bastard.

The maids rush to stop her, but Mrs. Claire refuses to let go. She keeps on biting and tearing at Lisa like an animal.

Step back, all of you, Lisa commanded the maids. They all moved back immediately when they looked at Lisa's dangerous expression.

Lisa grabbed Mrs. Claire by the neck, and Mrs. Claire released Lisa from her bite. She struggled to pry open Lisa's grip on her neck.

Mira rushed to help her mother, but before she could move, Lisa pushed Mrs. Claire, and she fell to the ground with a loud thud.

Mira looked at Lisa clearly with bloodshot eyes. "I will kill you," Mira screamed, rushing towards Lisa. Lisa looked at her coldly.

What's going on here? A loud authoritative voice sounded, causing everyone's hearts to skip a beat. Mira stopped her action, and they all turned to the source of the voice.
