Chapter 641
Chapter 641:
“Uncle Kaiden, Aunt Dina, would you like some more water?” Bella suddenly asked, pouring water for them.
Both Kaiden’s and Dina’s expressions softened when Bella spoke up, their eyes warming with unmistakable affection.
“Thank you, Bella p>
“You’re welcome p>
Bella cast a smug glance at Yelena, thinking to herself that Yelena being the real Harris daughter made no difference. It was always Bella who captured the family’s affection.
Yelena met Bella’s challenging gaze with calm indifference.
To Yelena, only her parents and brother truly mattered—everyone else was just an outsider. She didn’t care what those “outsiders” thought of her. If they treated her kindly, she would return the favor. Otherwise, she would respond with even greater force.
“This is…” Yelena began, but Jarvis cut her off.
“Aunt Donna, no need for introductions. We’ve met before, haven’t we, Yelena?” he said, his gaze filled with disdain as he looked at her. If not for her, Bella wouldn’t have to suffer these hardships.
Donna smiled awkwardly and gestured toward a little girl playing nearby with a doll. The girl had large eyes, wore a lovely princess dress, and had curly hair tied into two braids, resembling a delicate doll herself.
“That is also your cousin, Amilia,” Donna said.
Amilia Harris frowned slightly, glanced at Yelena, then quickly turned her gaze away. She didn’t like Yelena, as her brother had told her that Yelena was a bad person.
“Amilia, come say hello to your cousin,” Dina urged.
Amilia frowned, clearly displeased. “I only have two cousins—Bernice and Bella p>

She didn’t like this woman suddenly claiming to be her cousin. At her young age, Amilia’s likes and dislikes were unfiltered.
Bernice, watching from the side, glanced at Yelena and stifled a laugh. If Yelena had any sense of self-awareness, she wouldn’t push herself into a world that wasn’t hers.
It was odd. Anyone else would likely be upset or annoyed in this situation. Yet Yelena remained completely unbothered, neither angry nor upset. Could someone really be that generous? Bernice suspected Yelena was just pretending.
“Amilia, don’t say that again!” Kaiden reprimanded, his disapproval clear. Even if Amilia didn’t like Yelena, she shouldn’t express it so openly.
After all, Yelena was Callum and Donna’s real daughter—the legitimate heiress of the Harris family.
“Apologize to Yelena,” Kaiden commanded.
Amilia was taken aback by her father’s stern tone. As the youngest, she had always been the family’s darling, cherished and indulged. It was the first time Kaiden had reprimanded her like this. She bit her lip, her eyes welling up with tears, as if she might cry at any moment.
Dina, seeing this, felt a pang of sympathy. She understood Kaiden’s reasoning—he was doing this for Callum’s sake. Yet, even for the sake of brotherly love, Kaiden shouldn’t have directed his frustration at his daughter.
Dina quickly moved to comfort her daughter. With someone now supporting her, Amilia burst into tears, looking utterly pitiful. Dina’s heart clenched at the sight.
She glanced at Yelena, her brow furrowing, as if silently asking, “Is this what you wanted p>
Yelena met her gaze with an emotionless expression. Amilia’s rudeness was her own fault. Why should she take responsibility for Amilia’s behavior?
Although Kaiden’s tone was stern, his heart ached for his daughter. He turned to Callum and said, “Callum, Amilia is still young. I’ll teach her proper manners, so p>
Callum nodded, understanding Kaiden’s intent.
