"Liana, this is for you!", Betina said condescendingly as she placed a credit card in Liana's hands. "The password is nailed to the back of the card. There is $500,000 inside. Consider it my kindness to you. I know you don't want my money, but can you afford to reject it? Just take a look at yourself!" she continued. "I don't even think Dylan wants to admit that you are his mother. Don't talk to me about pride, the thing you need most right now is money, so take my money and shut the fuck up. And this is the last time Edward and I will see you, you don't deserve anything more than that. And by the way, I'm going to marry Edward soon, don't worry, I'll take very good care of that son of yours.", After saying her piece, Betina turned to leave. "Wait!", Liana spoke behind her, and Betina was expecting Liana to get angry. "Why? Am I wrong?", Betina teased, and Liana just threw her credit card toward her. "Take your trash and go away!" "Liana, I am trying to help you, you have become
"What ... what did you say ‽", Betina was shaking with anger, this was the first time Betina had been so seriously scolded in her life, and on top of that, it was in front of so many people. Betina may have an intriguing mind, but she was a thin-skinned woman, the result of her spoiled life. "Didn't you hear me? Get lost!", Jack spoke again. "Come on, she's not worth our time!", Liana spoke as she pulled Jack back into Peter's room, and she didn't even look at Betina as she spoke this, she simply acted as if the other woman wasn't even there. Betina almost bit her lip at the penetrating looks from the nurses and doctors and the disguised smiles. "Liana, you are the one not worth Edward's time. I'm going to marry him soon and you'll never be able to top me in your life!", Suppressing her anger, she spoke to Liana's back, and after that, she bent down to pick up her credit card and leave. There was malice and venom rolling in her eyes, and if she could, she would cut Liana to pieces
The woman was still as proud as he remembered. He had not met a prouder woman in his life, and no matter what she had done wrong, she would not apologize or express remorse. Even at the stage she was at, she still clung to this stubborn pride of hers, and he can't help but wonder, will she ever change? While Edward was lost in these thoughts, someone knocked on his office door. "You can come in!", He spoke coming back to reality, and when he looked at the door, it was Tony who had returned. "Why are you back so early?" "Miss Adams took the first car that came along and left, I'm sorry President for not sending her home personally!", Tony spoke with an expression on his face that was hard to read. "What? Was she upset?", Edward asked curiously, and Tony just nodded. "I don't know exactly what happened, but based on what she said, it sounds like Liana and her family bullied her," Tony replied, and Edward just took a deep breath. "Okay, thanks!", Edward whispered. "If ther
"Jack, calm down, there's no use getting nervous!", Liana spoke trying to calm her brother," Let's first see what Betina has on her computer, okay?" "All right, sis, whatever you want!", He answered more excited, and started to dig through the girl's computer and noticed that it was full of pictures, mainly selfies, and there were also some pictures that she took with Edward, but in all of them, he had the same expression, boredom, "From these pictures, I can really see that Edward doesn't love nor is in love with her. ", He spoke looking at Liana who shrugged. "Who does he love, or who is in love, what does it have to do with me?", She asked without showing any reaction, after all, she already knew that Edward was not in love with Betina, the man had a heart of stone and there was probably no woman in the world that would make him fall in love. Jack just watched his sister's smile disappear at the mention of Edward's name, then tried to change the subject so that she wouldn't kee
During this time she had been at her uncle's side, she had not had any free time or spare moments so that she could take care of herself and her appearance, and Jack had felt the same way about his sister, still remembering the way Betina and the others had spoken about her. "Lilih, my father's health has improved a lot, and I believe I can take care of him by myself, so why don't you go to the store and buy some new clothes and even, buy whatever you want with the money left in my account, and please don't be afraid to spend, I'm sure I'll earn something soon," He spoke trying to convince her to tidy up a bit, give her appearance a better life. "I think this can wait a little longer, what we need to focus on right now is where we are going to go after we leave here," she said staring at him. "Yes, you are right, we can no longer stay in that apartment, we need a new place to live. I'll find a nice place for us, so take a break," He suggested, but she denied it with her head. "
"Come along, Anna!", Anika spoke, "Even you are rebelling against me now?" "Of course not, madam!", Anna had no choice but to call security, and after making the call, Anna still begged Anna to leave, "Lady Liana, please don't make trouble for the lady, and go away, security will be here soon!" Liana didn't answer, and just smiled at her, and then faced her stepmother, who didn't understand what Liana intended. "They better be here, I'm going to need their help to throw the intruder out!" she whispered. "Liana, who are you calling an intruder?", Anika asked angrily. "You know the answer!", She replied laughing, and Anika took a deep breath as she felt a bad feeling, but still, she didn't lose possession, and reminded herself that Liana was nobody and doomed to fail. What else could Liana do? The cheeky little girl may have some statements on her side, but she definitely doesn't have the money to back them up, and everything in the Legrand mansion belongs to Anika, so how can a
Liana knew Anika would try this, and she deflected her grip, which caused the woman to slam into the bookcase, which almost fell over with the sudden force. Anika grimaced as she put her hand on her shoulder, and Liana slowly walked over to the two security guards. "In here is the certificate of ownership of this house that my father gave me. I hope you two will be my witnesses today and help me get back what is mine. My stepmother is cruel enough to threaten my life once, who knows what she will do when her strategy is unraveled?" The men felt honored by her respectful tone. The deference they had for Anika slowly changed to wariness. Prejudice is a frightening thing because, although Liana did not say clearly how Anika had threatened her life, they believed it must be through some morally ambiguous methods, since that is what a stepmother usually does. Anika was furious, but she also knew that she couldn't let Liana open that case, and as long as it remained closed, she still h
"There's no need for that!", Liana replied calmly. "No need for what?", Anika frowned as she asked, until the sound of the patrol car siren was heard coming from outside. "There is no need to call the police because I called them for you!", Liana replied smiling, and Anika's face changed from smile to concern, a feeling of fear hit her, she really didn't expect Liana to call the police for her. Anika looked at Liana with such malice that it seemed she would be willing to devour her whole. After all, Anika knew that the certificate she had was fake, so of course she couldn't let the police in to make the identification. "Madam! The police are here! ", Anna's worried voice came from downstairs, so in a quick outburst, Anika tore the document she had in her hands. "What are you doing?", Liana spoke up. And the two guards acted on instinct and jumped to get the certificate booklet, but it was too late because Anika had already shoved the torn page with the incriminating details d
