Chapter 7

Author: Lovely Little Mom
My parents went to the study to make their plans, but I was not bothered to deal with the situation any further.

Just as I was about to go back to my room and rest, the phone suddenly vibrated. It was a call from Joyce, inviting me to the boxing club.

"You've gone for boxing training before, right?" She asked, her tone clearly filled with provocation. "Well, Lucius does kickboxing, so maybe you two can spar!

"If you win, everything between us becomes a clean slate, but if you lose, you'll have to kneel and call Lucius daddy right then and there!"

I listened to Lucius's laughter in the background, and my lips curled into a smile. Seems like someone hadn't learned her lesson. Was she trying to wipe away her humiliation behind the scenes?

Honestly, I wasn't surprised. She was utterly humiliated by me in front of her friends, and even got scolded by her father in public. With that petty princess attitude of hers, it was no wonder she couldn't take it.

She probably thought that by inv

  • Her Daddy Issues   Chapter 10

    Terrence was a smart man. He knew that if I walked away unsatisfied today, the Fosters would hereby be finished.After a brief moment of consideration, he chose to sacrifice one piece to save the whole.He pointed at Joyce. "From now on, freeze all the assets under this ungrateful child's name. Then, send her to our subsidiary in Afreya. Without my permission, she is not allowed to come back."Joyce broke down."I'm your daughter, Dad! How could you dispose of me because of an outsider?"Terrence was shaking with rage. "If Henry hadn't been willing to marry you, do you think you'd be living the life you have now?"You're the one who didn't treasure it! Now that the engagement is canceled, get out!"After dealing with Joyce, Terrence turned to look at Lucius."I don't want to see this man anywhere in this city."With one sentence, Lucius's future was destroyed for good.Lucius kneeled on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably as he crawled toward me and grabbed at my pant leg."H

  • Her Daddy Issues   Chapter 9

    When Joyce called, I was having tea with my father.The moment she said she'd broken her leg and still wanted to see me, I nearly laughed out loud."Sure. If it's about breaking off the engagement, I guess I can see you."I changed my clothes slowly, deliberately choosing to ride a taxi to the agreed-upon spot instead of driving my own car.I even went to the trouble of letting Terrence know the meeting location as well. Wasn't I so thoughtful and considerate?The moment I walked in the door, I saw Joyce slumped in a chair, drenched in sweat. One of her legs was stretched out at an awkward angle, and she was clearly in severe pain.Lucius stood nearby, playing on his phone and seemingly not having any intent of caring for her in the slightest.Seeing me, Joyce immediately became arrogant again."Took you long enough! Take me to the hospital and pay all my medical bills. Also, transfer me some spending money."Meanwhile, Lucius started mocking me. "Wow, talk about shabby. Did y

  • Her Daddy Issues   Chapter 8

    Lucius took to social media, posting photos of his bruised body along with a hospital diagnosis report.The caption read: [Some people think that just because their family has money and power, they can beat others half to death. Joyce, don't contact me again. I'm afraid I'll actually be beaten to death one day. [The doctor said my hand might be permanently damaged, and I may never compete again.]Joyce immediately reposted it and tagged me.[Henry, you owe him an explanation! You ruined his dreams!]Immediately, she sent me a bill.[Medical expenses, emotional distress compensation, lost wages… The total is 100 grand! Lucius says as long as you pay up and issue a public apology, he'll let this go.]I stared at the bill and laughed out loud.Just last night, my parents told me that Terrence had begged and pleaded, absolutely refusing to cancel the engagement.I was already fed up.And now this idiot hands me leverage on a silver platter. It was exactly what I need!Without

    After dealing with those two idiots who didn't know their place, Terrence turned to me, his tone becoming respectful immediately."Haha, Henry…" Terrence rubbed his hands, an awkward smile on his face. "I'm sorry for causing you all this trouble. I failed as a father, and let my daughter make you unhappy…"Look, I've already scolded them, so can we just… let this go? Let bygones be bygones?"Before I could say anything, Joyce blew up. Watching her always-authoritative father lower himself like this made her pride explode. She felt utterly humiliated."Dad! Why are you being so submissive to him?" Her expression was filled with open disdain. "Their family fell a long time ago, and it's nothing but an empty husk now! Why are you still trying to suck up to them?"You're the one who never even asked for my opinion and forced this engagement on me. I never liked him in the first place!"I looked at her twisted expression and suddenly found it… amusing.Did she just call my family a

  • Her Daddy Issues   Chapter 5

    What stunned Joyce even more was what happened next.The woman who'd been acting untouchable just moments ago dropped to her knees the instant she saw Joyce's father, Terrence Foster."Mr. Foster…? "W-why are you here?" her voice trembled.Terrence didn't spare her so much as a glance. Instead, he walked straight up to me. The stern authority on his face melted instantly into a warm, almost paternal smile. "Are you hurt, Henry? It's best not to come to places like these too often, my boy."I smiled. "I'm fine, sir. Joyce's friends were just a little too enthusiastic. They were just joking around with me, that's all."Terrence turned around, his gaze landing on Lucius, who'd been hiding in the corner. "Joking, huh? What kind? Tell me."Joyce lowered her head, not daring to say a word.Lucius was shaking so badly he could barely stand.I sighed, as if embarrassed, and said lightly, "It's nothing, really. This guy over here keeps on telling Joyce to call him her daddy, and for me
