When I sat down, I realized that my father's family, Herbert, and I were all at this table.
I glanced at the person in front of me and found that the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
The woman who had once ruined my parents' marriage was named
Connie Briden.
The one next to her was her daughter, Emma Briden. She had big eyes, a high nose, a big chest, a very thin waist, and plump buttocks.
Of course, these were not inborn.
They all relied on plastic surgery.
I suspect that every organ in her
body has undergone plastic surgery.
Moreover, she was wearing heavy makeup. It was said that no one had ever seen what she really looked like.
Herbert sat on the opposite side of me coldly, and everything around him seemed to have nothing to do with him.
My father didn't seem to see me either.
I lowered my head and ate, as if I didn't see anyone.
After all, there were very delicious dishes on the table, which I couldn't afford to eat.
Although my eyes don't need to look at them, my ears can still
listen to them.
"Oh, Emma. This Mr. Herbert is the son of your old comrade-in-arms.
He's now the CEO of the branch of the company, and he'll have a lot of business with us in the future.
You should communicate more with him!" Ryan Stepanek' voice was very flattering.
That's right. Ryan Stepanek is my father.
That father who once cheated on my mother and now is my nonexistent father.
Ryan Stepanek opened a small security agency. It was said that Connie Briden and her daughter were good at running a man's company. Each time, they
would cause a quarrel and divorce between other couples.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Emma Briden, and I hope that you can take care of me." Emma's voice was very pretentious.
"Hello." There was no expression on Herbert's face, but he still maintained his politeness.
"It's too polite to call you Mr.
Wharton. Why don't I call you
'Herbert' in the future?" Emma's face stiffened into a stiff smile.
I felt cold all over and very embarrassed.
I really don't understand why a man would like such a woman.
Herbert lowered his head and ate his food. He did not respond
to Emma Briden.
Emma Briden continued with a smile, "Herbert, is it convenient for you to leave a contact information? Maybe we'll have business connections in the future!"
"You can add my secretary in business," said Herbert as he raised his head.
In the face of Herbert's
refusal, Emma did not give up and continued to say something.
Connie suddenly looked at me and immediately pointed her g*n at me. "Bella, you're too rude. I'm your elder anyway. Aren't you going to greet me?"
Connie Briden must have been
deliberately picking on me.
I'm a little angry.
Elder? What kind of elder was she?
Back then, she ruined my parents' marriage and even insulted my mother!
If it weren't for my young age, I would have definitely beaten her.
I raised my chin and sneered.
"What right do you have to be my elder when you're such a wicked woman!"
Connie turned to look at my father and said in an aggrieved voice,
"Ryan, your daughter has gone too far!"
Ryan was furious. "Bella, apologize to Connie immediatelv!"
Oh, this is my father!
Whether it's my fault or not, I have to apologize immediately!
This time, I won't apologize!
Bella's POV:
"Am I wrong? Isn't she a third party, not a bad person?" I stood up and pointed at Connie.
It's been 15 years. My father hasn't given me and my sister any special treatment.
I remember when I was a child, I couldn't pay the tuition fee to ask him for money, but he didn't give it to me. Instead, he kicked me.
But the daughter of the third party had always lived a very good life.
From then on, I swore that I would never take a penny from him again, and Ryan was no longer my father!
"Ryan, your daughter humiliated me. I'm angry!" Connie Briden, shouted loudly.
"Damn it!"
"Pa!"
Ryan Stepanek' voice sounded almost at the same time as his voice hitting me.
After that moment, I felt a severe ache on my cheek.
Perhaps he used too much strength that my head started to feel dizzy.
I fell to the ground.
Before I could react, I felt a sharp pain in the back of my hand.
Iturned my head and saw that Emma was stepping on the back
of my hand with her thin high
heels.
At that moment, anger and pain went straight into my brain.
I got up from the ground in a hurry and shouted, "F*ck CK!"
The next moment, I directly picked up a pot of hot soup on the table and poured it on Ryan. Then I picked up the other two plates of dishes and poured it on Connie and Emma.
In an instant, Ryan Stepanek screamed in pain from the heat. His beautiful clothes were covered with greasy vegetable soup.
"How dare you resist!" Ryan was very angry, waving his fist to hit
me.
At this moment, Uncle John and Aunt Carter came to my side, and Ryan stopped.
"How could there be such a terrible daughter? How dare she attack her father!" Connie was the first to accuse me.
Aunt Carter didn't answer her and just pulled me to her side.
"I won't have a daughter like her in the future!" Ryan roared.
I couldn't help rolling my eyes. I don't want to be his daughter.
I was very happy to see Ryan and his family in such a sorry state, although the corner of my mouth was bleeding.
When I looked up, I suddenly saw
Herbert sitting quietly in his seat, staring at me with a pair of dark eyes.
That kind of indifference, with a look at me, stung me like a needle.
Iraised my chin to Herbert and rolled my eyes at him. Then I turned around and walked away quickly.
The spring breeze was still a little cold, and the clothes I wore were very thin.
I didn't get a taxi after walking for a long time.
My burning face was blown by the cold wind. Even though I was very strong, I couldn't help crying.
But I don't regret it. If I could teach those trash a lesson, I would be
happy even if I were beaten.
Just when my foot was very painful because of the high heels, a black Bentley suddenly stopped in front of me.
looked up and saw the handsome face in the car window.
I pulled my lips in surprise, because the owner of that face was Herbert.
"Get in the car!" Herbert ordered.
I hate his tone of speaking. It's not working hours now, so I don't need to obey his orders.
And what had just happened was not worthy of pride.
Herbert saw the whole process. I hadn't figured out how to face him yet.
So I didn't intend to get in the car at all.
"It's very difficult to get a car here." Herbert continued.
I didn't want to hear his voice, so I turned and left.
However, after walking for a short distance, I heard someone behind me shouting, "I heard that several cases of r**e and murder of women have happened in this street area recently. The murderer has not been caught yet. The police suspect that the murderer is a resident nearby."
looked up at the darkness, and the sound of the wind blowing the leaves became terrible.
Even if I don't like Herbert and my
self-esteem, I have to take care of my own safety.
The next second, I turned around and opened the door. I quickly got in the passenger seat and fastened my seat belt.
I didn't look at the expression of Herbert during the whole process.
The car started.
It was quiet in the carriage. I touched my painful cheek and felt really embarrassed just now. I was an adult, but I was beaten by Ryan!
I didn't say a word along the way.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of my district.
"Thank you, Mr. Wharton." I unfastened my seat belt and thanked him. After all, he had sent
me to the door.
Herbert said, "You don't have to thank me. After all, you are an employee of the company. If anything happens to you, the company will pay you a part of the fee."
These words immediately made me angry. How could there be a boss who cursed his employees to death?
"Mr. Wharton, don't worry. I will definitely live to a hundred years old. You should keep the money for your own use!" After speaking, I got out of the car and slammed the door shut.
Swoosh!
The next moment, the car left
quickly.
He ran so fast.
The boss was very handsome, but unfortunately, he had a bad mouth.
Bella's POV:
As soon as they got home, my sister Betty came up and asked,
"Sister, what happened to your face?"
Hearing this, my mother immediately came over and asked anxiously, "Who did it? Is it your father?"
"Mom, I was slapped twice, but I slapped back twice!" When i saw my mother's distressed look, i pretended to be relaxed.
"Don't take it to heart, Bella. Your father must have listened to Connie."
Mom, are you trying to say that my
dad hit me for a reason? Can i forgive him?
I threw the ice bag away angrily and said, "Mom, Ryan has never cared about you for so many years. Why are you still speaking for him? You have nothing to do with him now. You are strangers, and you are not as good as strangers. You are enemies!"
That was how my mother was. She was weak and had no idea what to do. The father was her god.
Although they had divorced for many years, Ryan was still her husband in her heart.
