“Are you serious?”
“Yes, how dare I lie to you!”
Lottie believed it for the time being, and then Connie took her home.
After Connie became an agent, her treatment was good. She saved up money to buy an apartment and only paid the first payment. After that, she would have to pay the two-year loan.
Although her apartment was not big, it was decorated very warmly.
After entering the door, Connie first served her.
“Go sit on the sofa first. I’ll pour you some drink.”
Lottie nodded. She had just walked into the living room when she heard someone ringing the doorbell.
Seeing that Connie was busy in the kitchen, Lottie went to open the door herself.
As soon as the door opened, a man squeezed in from the outside and pushed her hard.
“Connie, why did it take so long to open the door?”
The man’s tone was very terrible, and his movements were very rude.
Lottie was stunned for a moment. She held on the table to stabilize her body and turned her head to look at the man.
This man should be about 40 years old. He was a little fat and had a sneaky expression. It was obvious that he was not a good person.
Lottie thought about it. She and Connie had known each other for so many years, but she hadn’t seen her family very often. Even her family was rarely mentioned.
“Who are you?” Lottie questioned coldly.
Only then did the man realize that she wasn’t Connie. He narrowed his eyes and looked at her for a long while. “You must be Lottie, right? Did you ask our Connie to be your agent and make her refuse to return home?”
What?
Before she could ask clearly, Connie had already known the situation and rushed out of the kitchen.
“Why are you here?”
“Why did you come? Get out!”
Connie’s tone was filled with fear and anger as she pushed the man out forcefully.
However, she couldn’t push him away at all. The man scolded Connie, “How dare you drive me away? Connie, I am your father! You will be punished if you do this to me!”
“My dad is dead! You don’t deserve it. Get out of here! Don’t force me to call the police to arrest you!”
“How dare you call the police to arrest me? I’ll beat you!”
Connie didn’t push him at all. Instead, she was slapped by the man, and a hand print instantly appeared on her face.
Lottie was very shocked and quickly stepped forward to help.
She grabbed the man’s hand with all her strength. The man let out a blood-curdling scream. Taking advantage of his pain, Lottie shoved him out of the door.
Connie hurriedly closed the door.
After being thrown out, the man was still unwilling to leave. He slammed the door crazily and cursed.
“Connie, you don’t even recognize your father!”
“If I had known that you were so ungrateful, I would have strangled you to death when you went to my house!”
“I sold the house in order to pay for the fee of your mother’s treatment! How dare you treat me like this now!”
“Your family is ungrateful! As you’re rich, you don’t care about your old friendship!”
“Connie, you’re as cheap as your mother! Why didn’t you die?”
The man shouted so loudly that everyone in the community could hear him.
Hearing the man’s scolding, Connie’s face turned pale.
At first, Lottie only listened in silence. In the end, she couldn’t help but want to go out and beat that person, but Connie suddenly grabbed her arm.
“Don’t go!”
Lottie pointed at the door and couldn’t help raising her voice. “You let him scold you like that?”
Connie bit her lower lip, her eyes full of pleading.
Lottie was very angry.
She had known Connie for so long that Connie had always been very happy. If she hadn’t happened to come with Connie today, she wouldn’t have known that Connie would have encountered such a thing!
“Connie, come out!”
The man was still shouting at the door.
Lottie couldn’t help but want to hit him.
“Don’t go! There must be a lot of people outside watching. With your current status, it’s not good to be photographed.”
“I don’t care!”
“But I care!!”
Connie said in a hurry, “He knows that I will ignore him and will leave soon. But if you continue to make trouble for him, the scene will be very embarrassing! There is no need to talk to someone like him.”
Lottie was both angry and concerned.
“Then tell me honestly, who is he?”
Connie opened her mouth but made no sound.
“Is he really your father?”
“He’s not!!”
Connie denied loudly that she really didn’t regard the man outside as her father.
“Then why did he say he’s your father? Could it be that…”
“He can be considered my stepfather, but…” Connie was a little embarrassed. “But when my mother followed him, she didn’t get a marriage certificate with him, so…”
Therefore, he was not my legal step-father.
Lottie couldn’t understand why Connie was so afraid of him since they weren’t related by blood and weren’t father and daughter in the legal sense.
“You owe him money?”
Connie shook her head crazily.
Since she was a teenager, she had been working hard to earn living expenses. After college, she had been working as an extra. She had never used his money. She had always been independent.
“Then your mother used his money to treat?”
“No! My mother used her own savings to see a doctor!”
“Then why are you so afraid of him? As long as I go out and beat him to surrender, he won’t dare to pester you anymore!”
“No! You don’t know!” Connie grabbed her arm and pleaded, “I will tell you clearly about this in the future. Don’t conflict with him now, please!”
Lottie fell into silence.
Perhaps as Connie said, there was a big secret behind this matter. Even if she wanted to help Connie vent her anger, she had to consider Connie’s mood.
“Okay, I won’t ask.”
“But you can’t let him scold you like this all the time, can you? Will this ruin your reputation?”
Connie gave a wry smile, then she touched her face, and said, “Well, my reputation has almost been ruined.”
Lottie calmed down for a few seconds before she suddenly reacted.
“Are you unwilling to agree to be with Alfred because of him?”
Connie lowered her head and said nothing.
Lottie was instantly enraged. “How long has he been bothering you? Since you had talked to Alfred about breaking up?”
Connie hesitated and nodded vaguely. “Almost.”
“Connie! You didn’t tell me such a big thing happened! Do you still treat me as a friend?”
“Lottie, calm down first.” Connie grabbed Lottie’s hand. “Listen to me. It’s just that you didn’t have a good time at that time, and I don’t want to trouble you. Besides, I didn’t get any substantial injuries. I directly ignored him.”
