“You… You are so impossible!”
Robin disobeyed Keegan but cursed him, so Keegan pointed at him and snapped, “You know nothing! She’s my daughter. She should give me money.”
“I’ve given you much money already. After you heard I worked in the Robin-Sophia Group, you found me and asked me for a 240-dollars for the monthly alimony. I refused, so you sued me in court.”
“At that time, I was an entry-level employee earning only 800 dollars a month. After paying the 400-dollar rental and giving you the alimony, I only had 160 dollars a month. I had instant noodles for several months to survive.”
“Why didn’t you think I was your daughter and show any compassion to me at that time?”
Tears dropped from Miranda’s eyes.
For the sake that Keegan was her father, Miranda didn’t stop giving him alimony all over the years. However, he asked her for 40, 000 dollars again because her half-brother from a different mother would get married.
Miranda was reluctant.
“Ah…”
Keegan looked embarrassed. “I’m your father, anyway. Give me 40, 000 dollars. Or I’ll be kicked out from home.”
Miranda looked into his eyes and refused again, “None of my business.”
Her answer made Keegan look stern. “Miranda Levis, you must give me the money today. If not, I’ll stay here. I’ll make a fuss at your door every day and annoy all your neighbors. All people will know you are an unfilial daughter.”
“I’ll let everyone curse you and disdain you.”
“I’ll also make a fuss in your company and tell everyone the PR department director of the Robin-Sophia Group is unfilial and has dumped her birth father.”
Keegan threatened Miranda as he had nothing to lose.
“I dare you!”
Miranda panicked.
If her father made trouble at her apartment, she wouldn’t fear. However, if he went to her company, it would be a substantial negative impact on herself and the company.
It would also ruin the company’s reputation.
The Robin-Sophia Group had just settled down in Stillwater without stabilizing the status. If their opponents took the chance and did something, their market value would plummet.
In that case, the Robin-Sophia Group might fire her to calm public opinion.
Although Miranda had lost her annual bonuses, she still had other benefits and compensation, which was top among all organizations in Stillwater. She also had put too much effort into becoming the PR department director.
If she was fired in that case, her career would also be ruined.
That was why she panicked.
In fact, the Robin-Sophia Group wouldn’t fire her, no matter what happened. After all, its chairman of the board, Robin, was standing next to her, tolerating her disdain as usual.
As long as Robin disagreed, no one dared to fire her.
“Humph! Are you scared? Give me the money. I won’t do anything then. You are the PR director of the Robin-Sophia Group. You don’t lack money. If you sleep with a businessman, you’ll earn more money back, won’t you?”
Keegan softened his tone.
However, his words were a pain in Miranda’s ears. ‘Sleep with a businessman, so you’ll get more money?’ Such words shouldn’t have been spoken by a father to his daughter.
Miranda felt sickened.
“I’ll give you the money. Never come to me again.”
Miranda gazed at Keegan in disgust, pulled out a bank card, and tossed it to him. Then she stormed into her apartment, seething with rage.
After taking the bank card, Keegan didn’t leave immediately. Patting the door, he hurriedly said, “These 40, 000 dollars are for your younger brother. Don’t forget my monthly alimony.”
“Fuck off!” a faintly harsh cry sounded out from the apartment.
“Remember! 240 dollars a month. If I receive a penny less, I’ll sue you in court,” Keegan repeated loudly before joyfully leaving with the bank card.
He ignored Robin utterly.
Before getting the money, he treated Robin dearly as his son-in-law.
After getting the money, he didn’t care who Robin was.
Standing motionlessly, Robin stared at the locked door of Miranda’s apartment and heaved a sigh. She invited him upstairs for a glass of water, but she slammed shut the door and locked it inside.
“Forget it. You owe me a glass of water, then.”
Shaking his head, Robin left.
However, he pulled out his phone and tabbed to open a map. A tiny dot was moving, showing Keegan’s location.
When Keegan bypassed him earlier, Robin pasted a tracker on him.
Robin lifted his foot and walked over.
Shangree Hotel.
Shortly after, Robin arrived. Looking up, he saw the logo of the high-end hotel. A meal in its restaurant would cost over 10, 000 dollars.
After entering the restaurant, Robin went straight to a private box, where several people’s voices were heard.
“Ha ha ha… How stupid Miranda is! She gave you the money. We can continue our luxurious life again. Keegan, are you also a simpleton? Since she was willing to give us money, why didn’t you ask her for more? Like 100, 000 dollars,” a woman said.
Then she added, “Miranda is good-looking and the PR director of the Robin-Sophia Group. If she sleeps with a businessman, she can earn a lot of money. If not, you can ask her to steal the confidential documents of her company and sell them. I heard each document can make over 200, 000 dollars.”
Robin figured out the woman was Miranda’s stepmother.
Instantly, he pushed the door and entered.
He glanced around the private box and saw two men and two women, one of whom was older. The older man was Keegan. He saw a young man and a young woman; seemingly, they were a couple.
Robin guessed the young man should be Miranda’s half-brother from a different mother.
Seeing Robin, the young man thought he was a restaurant waiter. Ignoring him, the young man held the young woman’s hand and said ironically, “I was worried about my house earlier. Miranda can give me what I want. 40, 000 dollars aren’t enough. I want a villa, so I need at least 400, 000 dollars. I will buy a brand-new car, get married, and raise my children. At least 400, 000 dollars are needed. Old Man, go threaten her again. Get me 400, 000 dollars.”
“That moron will give to you. After all, she’s your biological daughter. Make her our ATM. My happy life in the future relies on her.”
