Eira was simply shocked by the sudden flattery. She asked Delmont in disbelief, "Dad, what did you say?""Don't go home today and stay with me. You have to know that this is also your house. I will let the maid tidy up a room for you, alright?" Delmont said.Eira was speechless. She could not believe that her father would treat her like that. She has had her walls up against her father for a long time, and she almost had no affection for him at all. However, at that moment, she suddenly burst into tears. "Dad, I have actually always wanted to be close to you."Delmont felt upset. "I know…"Eira wiped her tears. "I'm sorry, Dad. I can't stay here. I have to go home to accompany my mom at night. Her mind is not functioning well, so I have to take care of her. Mom, Aunt Joy, thank you for the new clothes. Thank you so much. I have to take my leave first now, but I will come early in the morning tomorrow to accompany Brooke."She wanted to come early in the morning because she wanted
Delmont followed her.Brooke was the only one eating at home. She did not see her parents returning. "Ma'am, I'll not have that biggest piece of pork in that pork stew. My dad loves pork the most, so I will save it for him."The maid bowed. "Alright, little princess.""Also, is the mushroom soup for my mom done? We have to have it every day. She wants the antioxidants to protect her skin against wrinkles and maintain her beauty," asked Brooke happily."It's done, little princess.""Haha. My dad and my mom love me the most," said Brooke.Delmont and Joy, who were at the entryway, looked at each other. Both of them had tears in their eyes. That night, Delmont had been pondering for a whole night. The business, which he had built with a great deal of effort, could not just fall short of success because of this major economic crisis. That old man named Qualls indeed had wanted something excessive. However, Delmont truly could not lose the business that he and his wife had fought for
Eira was so frightened that she jumped. She turned around and saw Brooke. "You…don't you have piano practice today? Why are you home?"Brooke's voice was sharp. "You're a thief! You're a bad person! I finally know why you have to come to my house now. You have always been a beggar and a thief, right? You've had your eyes on my house for a very long time! You begged my dad and mom, and you begged me to let you stay at our house! My parents are so kind! You thief! You're stealing my mother's things!"Brooke was almost as tall as Eira, but she seemed to be stronger than Eira. She had never been afraid of Eira, to begin with, but because she was at her own house, Brooke was even more unafraid of Eira. She kept beating Eira while roaring angrily, "Thief! Burglar! Little beggar! Our whole family has been so good to you, and yet, you want to steal my mother's things. I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death! Little beggar! Little filthy thing. Your conscience can’t even compare to a d
Eira was trembling in fear. She hid alone on the balcony for a very long time before she calmed down. She did not dare to come down at all. After a long while, the ambulance came to the house, and Delmont and Joy had also returned. They had no time to care if there were still another child in the house. Everyone just followed the ambulance and went to the hospital.Eira stumbled out of the mansion alone. She got on a bus and rushed home. When she had just arrived at the door of their rented house, Eira heard crying and screaming coming from the house."Delmont Stevens, you d*mned man! You shameless thing! Why don’t you go to hell? Have you even raised Eira for a day? Have you? Now, you came running to ask me for custody of the child? Go to hell! No, I'm not sick, and I don’t have a mental disorder. Don’t take me to get me certified as mentally ill. I'm not sick. I'm very normal. I can work, and I can support my own children. Don’t have me captured. Don’t..."That was her mother's vo
Malvolio looked at Eira in puzzlement. "You…what is that?"Eira opened the bag. "Malvolio, look."The bag was filled with shiny gold and silver jewelry. Malvolio immediately thought of something. "Eira! Tell me, did you do something bad out there?"Eira smiled. "Malvolio, why don't you try and think. Even if I wanted to do bad things, where can I go to do it? If I wanted to rob a jewelry store, how can I do it when I am still at such a young age?"Malvolio thought that it made sense. After all, his sister was still a child. He softened his tone and asked, "Then, where did you get all this jewelry? Are these real? They are toys, right?"Eira shook her head. "No, my dad…Delmont was the one who had given these to me."Eira’s mother spoke up, trembling and in tears. "Malvolio, Malvolio, you absolutely can't let that d*mn man snatch your sister away. You have to listen to me. I am not crazy. I am not crazy. Do you believe me, my son?"Back then…back then when that man wanted to divor
"All these are things that he should be giving me! With these gold and silver jewelry, we can exchange them for money. We can help to pay the medical expenses for the grandmother next door and we can buy medications for our mother. Otherwise, we will not have any money to compensate them! They will report us, and then capture Mom and send her to a psychiatric hospital!"Malvolio instantly stopped in his tracks. His sister was right. After he thought it over, he took out a women's watch, turned around and handed it to the family of the grandmother next door. "Is this enough?"He had always been living in poverty, so he had no idea that that kind of watch was worth more than three hundred thousand dollars. The other party was surprised once they took a look at it. "Eira, it was your father who had given it to you, right?"Eira was stunned for a moment. After that, she immediately regained her calmness and nodded. "Mm-hmm.""Alright, alright! Just this watch will do! We're even from n
Eira shook her head and tried to remain calm. "I-I don't know what are you here for. What are you doing at my house"Joy sneered. "Eira, would you rather take me into your house, let me have a sit and discuss this matter over in front of your mother, or would you rather follow me out to talk about it?"Eira shook her head."I'm not going anywhere. Aunt Joy, just hurry up and go back. Don't you have to go to work?""I don't need to! Because my daughter was injured and she is still in the hospital now! Not only was my daughter injured, but my house was also robbed! My house was robbed of millions of dollars worth of gold and silver jewelry!" Joy deliberately put an emphasis on the word "robbed.""Little b*tch! Do you know what robbery means? Robbery has a heavier penalty than stealing! Robbery is punishable by death!""No…I don't want to! I don't want to die…" Eira was instantly frightened that she cried. However, she did not dare to cry out loud as she was afraid that she would wake
Delmont walked out from the car nearby. Seeing Eira being stepped on by Joy, Delmont did not have the slightest bit of sympathy at all on his face. Eira, on the other hand, was sobbing very hard when she saw Delmont. "Dad…"It was just yesterday that her father said he wanted to treat her to dinner, and he even wanted to get her custody back, so her father should be loving her. However, what was the matter with her father at that moment?Delmont looked at Eira with disgust, and he raised his foot and kicked her. Only then did he say, "How could you be so vicious at such a young age? You actually scared your sister into such a state?""I…I didn’t," Eira said.Hearing Eira saying that, Joy suddenly bent over to pick Eira up. She then raised her hand and slapped Eira across the face. Eira's front tooth instantly came loose."You're still arguing!" Joy was incomparably furious. "Eira, you fool! You only knew to trick our entire family. After you tricked us, you came to our house to st
