Chapter 20 Always Wrong 

They should definitely prepare some honeyglazed ribs and baked salmon. Those are your favorites, RayRay.” 

Vera held Raylee’s hand, expressing her affection dearly

Raylee responded to her with a sweet smile

The discomfort from the necklace incident she was feeling vanished in an instant

Having lost her doting older brother, who had cared for her since childhood, it was only with her grandmother i could find some comfort and love

now that she 

Harriet emerged from the bathroom, and immediately, Waverly threw herself into her arms, sobbing as she spoke

Mom, I’ve messed up. I’ve angered Raylee.. 

Upon understanding the whole situation. Harriet continuously comforted Waverly while casting a displeased look at Raylee

It isn’t a big deal. Why do you have to make your sister cry? She only meant to surprise you out of goodwill!” 

The atmosphere suddenly turned oppressive and heavy

Vera defended Raylee, saying

Mom, Raylee only spent four years in prison, but Waverly endured eighteen years of hardship! What’s wrong if RayRay gives in to her sometimes?” 

The motherinlaw and daughterinlaw were at odds over this matter, their arguments reaching a point of no resolution

Samuel glared fiercely at Raylee

Are you happy now? What was supposed to be a joyous moment turned into a squabble between Mom and Grandma. This is all because of you!” 

Raylee remained silent, feeling as if all the anger deep within her had turned into bitterness

She was clearly making concessions and deliberately changing the subject to gloss over the matter

However, in the end, it was still her fault

In the eyes of the Goodridge family, she was always the one at fault, no matter who was in the wrong

You scoundrel Why are you scolding your sister? If you want to dine, then cat. If not, then get lost.” 

Vera, in a fit of anger, swung her walking stick

Not daring to defy, Samuel sat down at the dining table, visibly annoyed, and began to eat

As a man, he couldn’t bring himself to be angry with the elderly

During lunchtime, the atmosphere was icy and awkward

Harriet remained silent, while occasionally, sobs could be heard from Waverly

Raylee quietly ate her meal, occasionally exchanging a few words with her grandmother

After finishing their meal, she assisted her grandmother back to her room before returning to her own for some rest

As night fell, Vera sought her out for a conversation, intending to play the role of a mediator

RayRay, Samuel has prepared a welcome home ceremony for you at home. After all, they’re your family. You should go. There’s no need to let the relationship become too strained. If you’re not having fun, or if they’re not treating you well, then

Finished 

Raylee didn’t want to dampen her grandmother’s spirits, so she nodded in agreement. I’ll do as you say, Grandma.” 

Goodridge Manor and the Goodridge residence were located in the same residential area, a mere tenminute walk away from each other

Under the guidance of a housekeeper, Raylee arrived at a room in the baseme 

Suddenly, all the lights went out

The pitchblack and sealed space felt like an unseen phantom, tightly clutching onto Raylee’s neck

Raylee was consumed by overwhelming fear and a sense of suffocation

She crouched fearfully in the corner, her arms tightly wrapped around herself, unable to stop her body from shivering uncontrollably

Several minutes had passed before the lights finally flickered back on

The room was decorated in a festive manner, complete with colorful characters that welcomed her return. In the center of the room, a massive twotiered cake was displayed on the table

However, Kaylee was in no mood to appreciate anything at that moment, as she was still in a state of shock 

Her eyes were as if peering through fog, unable to discern anything clearly

Pop! Pop! Pop

Samuel held a party popper in his hand, setting it off in the air. The room was instantly filled with colorful confetti

Welcome back, my little princess!” 

Welcome back. Raylee. I love you!” 

Samuel and Waverly excitedly exclaimed

Following closely behind. Harriet and Alaric entered as well, accompanied by a few curious housekeepers 

Raylee didn’t respond at all

At that moment, they finally saw clearly that Raylee was squatting on the ground, holding herself, her face devoid of any expression

Why are you acting like this? Ignoring everyone, as if we forced you to come back for the welcome ceremony?” 

Alaric sternly reprimanded her with a grave expression

Raylee remained utterly still 

The orange glow of the lights illuminated her face, making it impossible to discern the pallor that had taken over her features at that moment

Annoyed, Samuel tossed away the party popper and scolded, This welcome ceremony was specially arranged by everyone in our family just for you! We all intended to mend our relationship with you. Why do you insist on not appreciating it?” 

Harriet hurried over, earnestly advising with deep concern, RayRay, are you upset because of what happened at noon? Can you please let it go? Your dad agreed to let you move back. From now on, you’re still our family’s little princess.” 

Kaylee remained silent, but her vision gradually returned

As she observed the small room filled to the brim with people, her inner fear gradually began to dissipate

She had a severe case of claustrophobia

To nut it accurately the develoned the condition after beine imprisoned

Chapter 20 Always Wrong

Finished 

Baring those three years at District Nine Prison, she was often confined in a sealed space so dark that she couldn’t make out anything. She endured inhuman punishments there 

The dual forment of her physical and mental state instilled in her a fear of the pitchblack darkness and a dread of confined spres 

She wasn’t intentionally ignoring anyone she was just feeling unwell 

She was so distraught that she couldn’t even speak, her vision blurred by her discomfort, and even breathing became a struggle.. 

Meanwhile, Manic was still scolding her

Upset What gives you the right to be upset? You’ve lived a life of luxury for eighteen years What more could you possibly want? You’ve only served four years in prison on behalf of Waverly How can you compare four years to eighteen? Aren’t you blowing things out of proportion Do you want our entire family to kneel and apologize to you? Don’t forget this. The one who started all this mess was your mother, the housekeeper, who switched you and Waverly when you were children!” 

The room was filled with the sound of angry reproach

Harriet hurriedly stepped in 

Maric, perhaps you should say less. You have high blood pressure, so it’s best not to get too worked up.” 

This unfilial daughter is the one who made me upset!Alaric grumbled relentlessly

If you truly no longer wish to be part of the Goodridge family, then let’s cut all ties. I’ll act as if I never had a daughter like you! Likewise, you need to stop bothering your grandmother. It’s not fair for her to constantly argue with us over your issues, causing our household to be in constant duos

Listening to these harsh reprimands, Kaylee endured the discomfort as she tried to explain. “I suffer from claustrophobia, and when the lights were suddenly turned off earlier, I had an episodeI felt really awful” 

Her voice was weak, her entire body was covered in cold sweat, and she had a strong urge to vomit

Even though her voice was barely a whisper, Samuel still heard it. He responded with a mocking tone, Claustrophobia? What kind of story are you fabricating here? You used to love thrilling activities, like escape rooms and haunted houses. They were your faventes. How come I’ve never heard of you having claustrophobia?” 

It’s my fault. I shouldist have been a downer at the welcome home ceremony. Kaylee probably doesn’t want to see me here. I’ll just leave 

With tears reddening her eyes, Waverly shouldered the blame herself

Waverly, it’s not your problem. AhYou’ve put a lot of effort into arranging the welcome home ceremony, no? RayRay, why can’t you just behave?” 

Harriet spoke with a look of worry and distress

Alaric stared at the cake on the table, seething with frustration. Without a second thought, he knocked the cake over

The housekeepers, frightened, hastily left the room

Samuel let out a deep humph

Absolutely unreasonable! If you insist on behaving this way, then go ahead and continue. I’ll just pretend I don’t have a sister like you. Don’t bother coming back to the Goodridge residence ever again! Dad, Mom, Waverly, let’s go! It’s not like we can’t manage without her at home!” 

The group was just about to leave when Raylee started to vomit violently 

Her stomach was in turmoil as if she wanted to expel everything inside her

After she had finished throwing up, she collapsed onto the ground, convulsing uncontrollably
