“It’s not me that you should kneel to, it’s my father, Samuel.” I coldly said. “Also, the past is always in the past, we can never change it, and for those who do wrong things will eventually meet their karma. My father is gone, and I will definitely be the nightmare for you and Brent. Delia, you should stop pretending to be my mother. The reason why I answered your phone today is to tell you that you are heartless as a wife and unkind as a mother. I will never consider you as part of my being, over my dead body. All you need to do is wait for the karma to knock on your door, Delia. ”
After I finish, I hang up the phone directly. No matter how she called back, I didn’t pick it up again.
As long as the thought of Delia taking advantage of Dad to take the blame, Dad was so powerless and helpless, my heart is becoming more and more cold.
I sat down by the bed, grabbed a book, and tried to calm my heart. But no matter how I read the book word by word, my thoughts are still chaotic.
Eventually, I simply got up, left home and drove to the cemetery.
When I came to my father’s tombstone, I didn’t say a word, so I sat quietly. I don’t know how long it took, but a shadow suddenly appeared on my side, blocking the sunshine. I looked up and saw Cheney standing with his back to the dim sunshine.
I frowned. “Why are you here again?”
“I called you, why didn’t you answer it?”
I looked down, took out my phone and glanced at the great number of missed calls, only to find two calls from Cheney. I laughed and said, “It’s muted. How did you find me?”
“I have so many ways to find you.”
I shrugged. “Of course, but it will take you a long time to find me here. If it’s okay, you can see me at home tonight.”
He kept silent and glanced sideways at the picture on the tombstone.
I quipped, “Haven’t I officially introduced you to my father yet?”
He raised his eyebrows. “Your father can’t be ignorant of me. I am a famous young and promising entrepreneur.”
I was speechless. “My dad doesn’t care if you are a young and promising entrepreneur. He only cares if you are a good person to his daughter.”
He looked dignified and narrowed his eyes. “Am I that bad to you?”
I shrugged. “It’s okay.”
“Does that mean it’s not bad?”
“You are going to live with me all your life, and you still call my father by my father’s name. Do you think it is appropriate?”
He squinted at me and I raised my eyebrows.
Without thinking about it, Cheney actually fastened the button of his suit seriously, bowed in front of my father’s tombstone, and knelt down and kowtowed. Only then did he respectfully look at the photo on the tombstone and say, “Father-in-law, I am Cheney, Krista’s husband, and I will spend my whole life with her. This woman, you can give it to me with confidence, and I will not break her heart.”
I didn’t expect him to be so crisp, and I didn’t expect him to have a side of this.
Cheney kowtowed again, got up and looked at me. “Now that I have officially met my father-in-law, can we go home?”
“If it that’s what makes you happy” I stood up, slapped the dust behind my ass, and said to my father’s photo, “Dad, I’ll go first, and I’ll see you next time.”
I stepped down the mountain with him in the afterglow of sunset.
As I expected, the Cross River Bridge event fermented very quickly.
Brent pushed Delia out to cover for it.
Delia publicly explained in front of media reporters, “Recently, there was a little misunderstanding between my daughter and I. She came back to the Brennan family and wanted to inherit the shares of the Brennan family as heir. My husband agreed and because I always disagreed, my daughter hates me. She said that if we didn’t give her a stake in the Brennan Group, she would break her mother-daughter relationship with me and destroy the Brennan Group. I thought she was just talking, but I didn’t expect her to fabricate facts to degrade the Brennan group and my lover. Samuel is my ex-husband, and no one knows him better than I do. He is indeed a talented engineer, but he is too ambitious, killing so many innocent lives and ruining our family of three. The reason why I stand up today is to hope that my daughter will not take the detour of his father, and that she will wake up as soon as possible and stop making mistakes.”
Looking at the video, Delia accused me with a face of hypocritical justice, and Cheney looked at me with worry.
I smiled and looked at him and said, “Cheney, have you ever seen such a mother?”
He turned off the video, turned sideways, held me in his arms, and gently soothed me, “Don’t look at it, so it won’t make you sad.”
There was no joy or sorrow in my eyes, and in a faint way said, “I don’t know why, the more she is like that, the more I don’t feel sad. It is probably chillin. The more embarrassment she is giving to herself, the more I will feel at ease when I retaliate against them in the future.”
I took advantage of the opportunity to put a pillow on Cheney’s shoulder.
She knew what her words would do to me, but she didn’t care at all. She just wanted to help Brent clear his name, and the rest was no longer important to her.
In Delia’s eyes, I am nothing but a hindrance. Yes, because six years ago, when she decided to take refuge in Brent’s arms, she had already given up on father and me. In this case, I can do nothing, I cannot do anything about her mentality. In this way, it’s all right.
I left Cheney’s arms. “Now is not the time for me to sit quietly.”
I smiled, picked up my phone, stepped aside and dialed a number, “Hale, it’s me, Krista. I have a very important headline for you. Well, you’re welcome. Just remember to invite me to dinner later.”
After that, I hung up the phone, went to my desk, turned on the computer, and sent the video in the car recorder Quincy gave me to Hale. Half an hour later, the video was reprinted by major websites.
Delia’s pov
Although Krista didn’t make a sound, she hit Brent and me in the face hard. I know it’s completely over this time.
That night, after seeing the news, Brent made a cruel attack and tore his face for the first time.
He pushed me down and pointed to my nose. “You old woman, I put up with you for so many years, and as a result, you let your daughter bring trouble to me. My reputation must not be destroyed with your daughter’s hands.”
“You are the one who is cruel. Don’t you know why Krista hates you so much?” I don’t want to discuss it any longer. It’s not necessary.
He picked up my collar. “Of course, I don’t know. I feed her and do everything to keep her alive. What can she be dissatisfied with?”
“Because you are an animal, you just wanted to invade her. She is my daughter, your stepdaughter, and you have no humanity, you are worse than an animal.”
A slap fell on my face, and he looked at me bitterly. “What I regret the most now is that I couldn’t sleep with her at that time. If time can go back, I have to let her surrender under my body. I want her not to betray me but praise me.”
“You… you bastard!” I covered my cheek, tears all over my face. “I abandoned my husband and daughter for you, but you are just beating me.”
“It’s all your fault.” Brent shouted angrily straight to my face.
“Samuel is so damn, he is such a fool dying without knowing anything, and as for you, I let you enjoy six years of luxury, but you can’t even handle your own daughter, that bitch not only hurt my baby daughter infected with AIDS, but also ruined my Brennan group! All this is because you teach your daughter poorly.”
He said, carrying me into the bedroom and adding fists and feet.
I was beaten and could not move. After half a ring on the ground, I shouted weakly, “Stop, husband, don’t beat me.”
