691 Words
Inside the house, Mr. Eddie tries to calm down the irritable Hank, while cursing Amelia in his mind. "Hank, don't worry, good things come to those who wait," Lisa quickly added, "Yes, Hank, Amelia is your favorite daughter. After this is done, don't forget about our partnership," Seraphina's groveling voice sounded, making the creepy old man burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, don't worry, as long as she's the daughter of the Eddie family, I'll make sure you all make money! Hearing her biological father's voice, Gu Mian felt like she had fallen into a frosty pit, her heart sinking to the lower part of the valley. The previous evening, she overheard her stepmother and stepsister plotting to marry her off to a creepy old man. Yet, she never imagined that her father would be involved! For all these years, she thought her father at least had some affection for her, however, it turned out she was simply living in a fantasy land!
A tear fell from the edge of Amelia's eye, and she wiped it away fiercely, the despair in her eyes gradually replaced by coldness. Now, she had no illusions about this family any longer! The hedgehog put away its softest belly and grew a body full of thorns. Amelia pulled herself together and pushed open the door. "I'm back!" Inside the house, the three members of the Eddie family saw Amelia's face, which she had painted to seem to be a ghost, and their faces stiffened unnaturally.
Fortunately, they had already shown Mr. Hank a picture of Amelia's bare face. Seraphina immediately reacted and approached to hold Amelia's hand, pretending to be affectionate.
"Amelia, why did you just come back? We have an important guest here. Come, sit next to Uncle Hank and let him have a good look at you!" Seraphina said.
Mr. Hank, who was full and greasy, gazed at Amelia's chest with his vulgar eyes.
Hearing Seraphina's words, Amelia moved over and shared half of the single sofa with Mr. Hank, who was sleek and smiling at her.
"Goodness, Amelia, you have grown up so much. Come, let me touch you... let me have a good look at you!" Mr. Hank said.
Amelia jeered in her heart and avoided Mr. Hank's dirty hands without leaving any trace on her face.
"No, I'm tired. I'll go rest first," she said and was about to go upstairs. Seraphina immediately signaled to her daughter.
"Are you thirsty after just coming back?, Amelia, Have a cup of tea before resting," Lisa said, stopping Amelia's way.
Amelia stopped and took a look at the "tea" in Lisa's hand. Without a second thought, she took it.
The other four people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and Lisa secretly laughed in her heart.
Amelia was indeed a fool! This was a cup of tea with something added to it. As long as Amelia took a sip, she would submissively become Mr. Huang's person!
Thinking of Mr. Hank's terrifying strategies on women, which would be used on Amelia later, Lisa was so happy to such an extent that she almost laughed out loud.
Amelia raised her eyes and glanced coldly at Lisa's face. The following second, she unexpectedly pushed the teacup back into Lisa's hand
"I think you should drink it yourself?" she said.
The burning hot tea splashed out, and Lisa screamed in pain.
"Bang"
The teacup shattered into pieces, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense...
"Amelia! What are you doing? How can a young lady behave like this!" Mr. Eddie's face turned incensed as he yelled at Amelia.
Amelia met her biological father's cold and apathetic look without any emotional response.
For ten years, regardless of how hard she tried, her biological father had never shown her a good face She had become numb to his disappointment
"I am married now, I am not a little girl anymore," Amelia replied calmly, looking at the group of people who had been plotting against her in the room.
"What did you say?!!" The four people in the room who were up to no good were all dumbfounded at the same time!
