Chapter 706 The Standoff Between Father and Daughter

“Who is that?” She shot a quizzical look at the maid because she rarely had visitors at the Fowler Residence. “He said he’s your dad.”

“I see…” She did not expect Roland to show up. “Let him in.”

After that, she had the maid serve a pot of tea with some snacks and fruits. Despite their cold relationship, Roland was still her father, and she wanted to welcome him courteously.

In contrast, Roland barged in furiously and planted himself on the sofa uninvited. He went straight to the point. “I’ll ask you: What will it take for you to spare Merry’s life?”

She scoffed coldly and said, “Dad, what do you mean? I don’t get it. What does it mean to ‘spare her life’? Shouldn’t I be the one asking her to spare me?”

He was choked by her retort. “Stop that nonsense. Selena, Merry is your sister—blood is thicker than water. How could you act cruelly to her? What sin has she committed for you to treat her in such an awful way?”

She smiled calmly at him. “You always fault me for how I treat her. Have you witnessed how she treated me?”

“How has she wronged you? Did she banish you to the red-light district? Did she make you sleep with random men?” At that point, a few drops of tears rolled down Roland’s weathered face in a rare moment of vulnerability. “My poor Merry! She was an award-winning actress, and my little girl whom I treasured. Yet, she was forced to… Ah! How horrible! How appalling!”

He slapped hard on his thighs in agony. When he learned that Meredith had lived in the red-light district, he felt like he was stabbed in the heart, and the pain was unbearable.
