Raelyn was not a fool either. She understood what happened when she heard Talitha’s words. Raelyn believed it must have been Talitha who messed up her plan, it was her who told Gavin everything.
Raelyn was so angry that she couldn’t stand it anymore so she slapped Talitha in the face, “Damn it! How can you betray your own mother?”
“You hit me?” Talitha covered her burning face and looked at Raelyn unbelievably.
“Don’t you know what you have done?” Raelyn was extremely furious. This was not just about the problem of the money, but the problem between her and Gavin. After what happened, Gavin would not believe her anymore so it was definitely not easy for her to trick him in the future. Raelyn believed that it was all Talitha’s fault.
Raelyn was so angry at Talitha. She then slapped Talitha a few times and said, “Let me teach you a lesson!”
Talitha felt angry and pain after being slapped several times. She shouted at her, “You hit me?! Do you know why did I do this? Isn’t it because you are biased towards Natsya?”
“What are you saying? You’re saying that I’m biased? I’m not good to you? Are you out of your mind?” Raelyn asked Talitha angrily.
Talitha walked toward her and yelled, “You’re good to me? Are you sure you’re really good to me? Who am I to you? You’ll at least treat me like a human if Natasya isn’t born, but now, what do you treat me as? Your pet? Am I even a human to you? Am I even your daughter?”
“What?! Why don’t you say it again? You b*stard! You don’t even feel guilty after doing all these? I’ll teach you a lesson today!” Raelyn said furiously and was about to raise her hand and slap Talitha again. However, Talitha pushed her away.
Talitha was also extremely angry, “If you really treat me as your daughter, why didn’t you hit Natasya since she’s so evil? Why did you get 10 million from grandpa but only give me less than half of the amount? Do you even have a heart? Why can you be so evil? Am I not your daughter? Only Natasya is your daughter? Why did you and Devon treat me differently with Natasya?
“You…” Raelyn was speechless after Talitha talked back to her.
Talitha continued to yell at Raelyn, “I know you’re biased, I knew it since I was a child! Good things will always be left to Natasya because she is smarter and she’s good at sweet-talking. It’s clear that we share the same birthday, but my birthday gifts and her gifts are different. Why do I have to live in her shadow? Why did you even give birth to me? Why didn’t you just kill me?!”
Raelyn felt a little guilty after Talitha’s series of questions. Talitha’s eyes were full of resentment so Raelyn took a few steps back.
“I don’t care if you are biased towards Natasya, but why are you still helping her after what she did to me? Hardy is mine, and I like him a lot. Is Natasya that b*tch who stole him from me shamelessly! You didn’t even help me! She killed my child, but you didn’t say anything too. You were so cold-blooded to persuade me to give up on Hardy. But what did you do to me after I promised to give up? You took 10 million from grandpa but you just wanted to give me a little! Why? Are you going to keep the rest of the money and give them to Natasya? Tell me, why should I help Natasya?!”
Raelyn still wanted to deny it, “Did Raymond tell you about the 10 million? He was trying to drive a wedge between us!”
“So you didn’t take the 10 million from grandpa? Grandpa already admitted yet you still lied. Are you really… really my mother? How can you do this to me? What did I do wrong to make you treat me like that?!”
Talitha felt extremely wronged and burst into tears.
Raelyn felt bad when she saw Talitha cry. She couldn’t help but wonder, was she wrong?
She also felt her heart ached when she knew that Natasya had killed Talitha’s child. But that baby did not belong to Hardy so the baby would die in the end no matter what. Since the baby was going to die anyway, why did it matter who killed him?
Raelyn couldn’t do anything to stop Natasya from stealing Hardy because she was disfigured and she’d become unstable. Raelyn did try to persuade Natasya, but Natasya did not want to listen to her. She couldn’t do anything with Natasya.
Natasya was not Talitha, Natasya was smart and mean. If Talitha did not give up, Raelyn was really afraid that Natasya would kill Talitha.
Also, about the money she got from Gavin, it was not that she did not want to give it to Talitha, but she felt that it was not the right time to give it to her yet. She knew that Talitha loved to spend money on luxury goods. Therefore, if she gave all the money to Talitha, it would not take long before the money was completely gone. In fact, Raelyn was just being thoughtful.
Raelyn felt that she was in a dilemma too, she loved them both equally, she didn’t want to be so partial too. She just didn’t want to see her two daughters turn against each other and become enemies.
Now Talitha misunderstood her, and Natasya was asking her for an explanation. How should she explain it?
Raelyn figured it would be best if hitting Talitha could give Natasya an account. But the thing was, Raelyn was afraid that Natasya still wouldn’t let her off. As for Talitha, she completely misunderstood her good intentions. Raelyn was just being caught between a rock and a hard place. She felt really helpless.
For Raelyn, it was really painful not to be understood. Therefore, she left Talitha’s room with heavy steps after that.
The conflict of the Anderson family had reached a point where it could not be solved. How would such a mean and shameless person like Natasya let Talitha off?
On the other side, William knew that Natasya would attack Talitha with Devon soon. As long as Natasya made a move, it would be the best opportunity for William, so he ordered Bobby, “Ask someone to keep an eye on Talitha. You all must rescue Talitha from Natasya since she is the only person that can make Declan talk.”
Bobby promised William, “Don’t worry, boss, I will keep an eye on this matter!”
William was not worried because Bobby was good at what he do, he was also very efficient too. What William had to do now was to think of a way to bring Talitha to see Declan.
William was in deep thought before Marcus walked in, “Mr. Howard, Sammuel requests to meet you.”
“What is he doing here?” William asked.
“I’ve asked him, he said he was here to deliver a gift on Fandrey’s orders. I’ve already asked people to bring him up here.”
“Why are you still asking me when he’s already up here?” William glared at Marcus.
Marcus smiled awkwardly and said, “I figured if he’d been ordered to give you the gift, it wouldn’t be a small amount either. Didn’t you receive a huge amount of money on your birthday? So I thought it shouldn’t be a small amount this time, right?”
“How do you know it’s not a small amount?”
“I guessed it. I believe that those gifts must be for your two children. The Floyd family is very rich, so they wouldn’t be so stingy. After all, you would ignore it if it’s just a small amount.”
William laughed at Marcus’s words, “I never knew you were so good at calculating and talking.”
“You’re flattering me! Mr. Howard, you’ve taught me well!” Marcus answered humbly.
William wanted to tease him a bit more, but his secretary knocked on the door, “Mr. Howard, Mr. Hawk is here!”
