Chapter: 2241

She was accustomed to his cruelty.

When her mother was still alive, he frequently berated her in front of Averie, hurling harsh and nasty words. After her mother passed away, any frustrations he felt during the day were taken out on Averie at night. He would often wake her up and lash out at her with harsh words.

She was used to hearing those harsh words.

She recognized them as harsh, yet she didn't dwell on them.

Hearing this, the neighbor grew more troubled. Still, it was someone else's family matter, and she couldn't meddle. She said softly, "Averie, why don't you come over for dinner when it's mealtime? I'll cook something tasty for you. Please, don't head into the kitchen alone. It's too risky."
