All Chapters of The Abandoned Daughter Returned Without Mercy: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The meaning was clear that if she didn’t dare touch it, then she wasn’t cured and had to stay for more treatment. Ever since the fire broke out three years ago, Allison had been terrified of fire. Nigel saw the fear in her eyes and felt slightly relieved. Knowing she was afraid of fire and pain, he was sure she wouldn’t reach for it. As long as she promised not to hurt Sherrie again, he would forgive her.But just as that thought crossed his mind, his eyes widened in shock when Allison suddenly reached into the fire.“Who told you to actually grab it?” Nigel rushed over and pulled her hand away.Allison’s palm was burned so badly that it was bleeding. Seeing her grit her teeth and tremble from the pain, Nigel was shocked. She used to be terrified of pain. Even as a child, a small scratch would make her cry and run to him for comfort.How could she bear such pain now without saying a word?The sister he had spoiled for twenty years no longer sought his comfort. Nigel’s chest tightened.

Ronan’s face turned red with embarrassment. He quickly said, “My sister put that there as a joke. Don’t overthink it, okay?”He expected Allison to question him about it like she always did, to bombard him with endless doubts. Just thinking about it irritated him. Allison had always been jealous, and if she found out Sherrie was the one who put that sticker there, she would definitely cause trouble.Ronan had already prepared himself. No matter what Allison asked, he would just lash out at her and accuse her of being paranoid. That trick had always worked before. He would get away with it, and Allison would end up coaxing him instead.But to his surprise, before he could even say anything, Allison just said, “Okay.”Then nothing else. Ronan was momentarily stunned. He waited for her reaction, but Allison really didn’t plan to ask any questions.He frowned and started the car. The deafening silence filled the car, and neither of them said a word.Ronan glanced at the rearview mirror an

Reclining in the bathtub, Allison turned her head and looked at her calmly. “I didn’t take it. Go ahead and report me.”Ella was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Allison to be this bold.She knew Allison had a mental illness, and crazy people couldn’t be trusted. If she caught Allison red-handed, she could report it to Nigel and earn some favor. Once Allison was labeled a thief, anything that went missing in the future could be blamed on her. After all, she was the crazy one.But to make the accusation work, she needed solid evidence. Earlier, she had checked the surveillance footage, but there was nothing showing Allison taking her phone.Even so, she was sure Allison had stolen it. The bathroom was so big. Where could she have possibly hidden it?Ella yanked Allison out of the bathtub. When she didn’t find the phone on her, she started searching the whole bathroom. The moment she tried to open the toilet tank, Allison rushed over and pressed the flush.When Ella saw the nervous look

Ella wanted to mention that Allison had stolen her phone, but Nigel was already too annoyed to listen. “I’m going home to get some clothes for Sherrie,” he said.When he returned to the Rogers mansion, the lights were on, but Allison was nowhere to be seen.Sherrie was seriously ill, yet Allison could still sleep peacefully.Nigel went to knock on Allison’s door. He knocked for a full minute before it finally opened from inside.Allison stood there in an oversized T-shirt with damp hair, clearly fresh from a shower.Facing her up close, Nigel finally noticed something was wrong.Allison’s face was unnaturally pale, and she looked thinner than before. The oversized T-shirt hung loosely on her, making her seem fragile, like she could be blown away by a breeze.Then something struck him.There was a faint scent of decay around her.A twenty-year-old girl should be full of life. Her hair should be smooth and flowing, her movements light and lively, her face warm with a soft smile, and her

Ronan leaned back on the sofa behind Sherrie, watching everything with a slightly amused look.Sherrie frowned. “Stop beating around the bush. Just say it.”Ella mustered her courage and finally burst into tears as she turned to Nigel. “Mr. Nigel, it was Ms. Allison who stole my phone! When I confronted her, she got angry and flushed it down the drain! My son must be so worried since he can’t contact me. I don’t know what to do…”Ronan narrowed his eyes and looked at Ella again.Allison stole her phone? Ridiculous!Allison might have been unstable, but she was not poor. Why would she steal a maid’s phone and then throw a tantrum over it?Nigel had the same thought, but he also didn’t believe Ella would lie about something so extreme.So he asked, “Do you have any proof?”Ella cried harder. “I saw it with my own eyes! What more proof do you need?”Ronan looked her up and down and said in a disdainful tone, “Your word alone isn’t enough. Do you have any actual evidence?”Sherrie secretl
