Runemaster in the Last Days

"That's in the law!"

In the end, Mrs. Thompson simply brought out the law and raised her head. She didn't believe that Riya would not follow the law!

Law?

Riya looked at Mrs. Thompson in amusement.

"The law has long been revised. I suggest you read it when you have time."

Mrs. Thompson was stunned but before she could say anything else, Riya had already stepped to the side.

"No you…"

"Miss, isn't it rude to ignore your mother like this? No matter what, she's still…"

"Don't interfere in other people's household matter." Riya looked at the aunt who tried to meddle coldly and then walked away.

"I'm your mother! Why can't you treat me as one?" Mrs. Thompson was wailing and made trouble once again.

Riya paused for a moment.

Why?

She looked back at Mrs. Thompson who was crying on the street without caring for her image and took a deep breath. No matter when, Mrs. Thompson had never acted as a proper adult.

Even in the past, she only knew how to throw tantrum when there were troubles in front of her.

This made Riya felt exhausted when she looked at her mother.

She could remember some pieces of memories in her past. Parts that she actually didn't want to remember if it was possible. Mrs. Thompson would cry loudly and Mr. Taylor would be too lazy to deal with her.

It was strange how these two people could get married in the first place.

The young Riya didn't understand but being uncared for and tossed aside, the young her only knew how to cry. She wanted her father and mother at that time.

Unfortunately, neither were available for her.

"If you want to be treated as parent, you should have aced as one from he very beginning." Even if it's imperfect because it's your first time as a parent instead of abandoning her right away.

Afterwards, Riya shook her head.

She didn't want to talk with Mrs. Thompson again.

Mrs. Thompson looked at Riya's back blankly. For some reasons, the sentence that Riya said seemed to hit her.

Has she ever treated Riya as her daughter?

For a moment, Mrs. Thompson wanted to recall the past.

But the next moment, she tossed those thoughts away. No matter what, Riya is biologically her daughter and Mrs. Thompson would never let this chance passed.

Unfortunately, Riya sped up and it would be impossible for Mrs. Thompson to chase after Riya.

That is if Riya is not blocked.

"Why are you here?" Riya looked at Ciera, who was standing in front of her, and frowned deeply.

She thought that her luck was bad enough to meet Mrs. Thompson here but she din't expect to see Ciera too.

Should she have picked another day to check the wall?

This made Riya feel that her luck today is definitely very bad.

Riya is definitely not a superstitious woman and didn't really believe these things in the past. But after knowing that she could form runes that basically alter a person's luck and fate slightly, Riya knew that it was not impossible to change a person's life trajectory.

But there will be cost to pay to change a person's life.

For this reason, Riya didn't dare to do a lot and only make a small bad luck formation with condition.

Because with this condition, there will be almost no cost for Riya.

'And that bad luck formation should have stopped operating many years ago, right? Why do I still have such bad luck?'

Riya sighed deeply in her heart.

To see someone whom she didn't want to see the most in her entire life… she was thinking whether someone was messing around with her.

If she found who it is, she will beat that person up!

Ciera saw Riya in front of her and quickly showed a pitiful look. She has been very proficient in this art of selling 'tea' and naturally her expression looked very natural.

"Sister, why don't you help your mother?" Ciera asked, but her tone was filled with gloating. She felt that being able to see Riya in such troublesome situation is simply the best.

In the past year, Ciera has been living with difficulties.

After all, she still has to go to the hospital and then worked to pay off her debts. In order to make sure that she could pay her debt, she set up various dramas here and there.

With her making countless troubles, it was unknown when there would be people coming to trouble her.

So Ciera made sure that her backer is strong enough.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to survive.

"It's not your business." Riya rolled her eyes and turned to the side, wanting to stay away from these two annoying people.

But at this moment, Mrs. Thompson had caught up and continued to cry. "Riya! You can't just leave me be and…. (Omit another 1000 words of blames)"

Ciera looked at Mrs. Thompson in amazement.

She had to say that in terms of shamelessness, she was still far away from Mrs. Thompson who could utter so many sentences.

Should she learn from the other party?

Ciera had to say that she was tempted.

"How many times do I have to tell you that with the severance letter, I have no obligation to care for you anymore?" Riya sneered. "You kept saying that the law will protect you and what about the child you abandon when you're chasing after your cheating husband?"

"No… that's not…"

"What do you mean not? Do you want me to take you to see the record when you're almost jailed for abandoning a child?"

Mrs. Thompson flinched.

Because she and her husband at that time didn't pay attention to Riya, the little girl almost died. If it was not because of a kind neighbor who saw a kid fainted and called hospital to bring ambulance, this would definitely happen.

For this reason, the distance between Riya and her parents was not close at all.
