Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down novel Chapter 85

Although Hazel was so angry that her chest hurt, once she thought that Christopher might be the president of Coscana, she suppressed her anger and forced a smile. “Elizabeth, Sharon is an extraordinary girl. Besides this, she only has Benjamin in her heart. To me, she is the best daughter-in-law of the Larson family. So how can I afford to lose her?”

Elizabeth snapped, “When my daughter had an accident, you old thing hasted to severed your family's connection with her. When she had a miscarriage, you not only did not comfort her, but also beat her all over. I remember all these things! When I become the first lady, I will settle the score with you!”

Hazel could no longer hold back her anger and shouted, “Elizabeth, don’t go too far. You think I don’t know that your daughter is pregnant with someone else’s child! Since Sharon did that kind of disgraceful thing, if not for her begging and pleading as well as for our two families having been friends for generations, I would have driven her out long ago! You want a divorce, right? Okay! Hurry up and take your slut away. We don't want a disgrace to our Larson family!”

She picked up the hot tea on the table and poured it over towards Elizabeth.

“Shit! Hazel, you will regret it!” Elizabeth fixed her hair and then stomped out of the Larson's house on her high heels with her head up. As soon as she became the first lady, she would get even with Hazel. By that time, she would force Hazel to do whatever she demanded. Thinking about this, Elizabeth was in a good mood and instructed her driver, “Go to the sanatorium to pick up Miss Winston.”

When Sharon saw that it was Elizabeth who came to pick her up, she showed some disappointment in her eyes. “Why did not Benjamin come?”

Elizabeth’s eyes flickered and then she changed the topic, “Soon I will be the first lady of Coscana and you will be the president’s daughter. As a noble lady, you can choose whatever man you like.”

Sharon replied, “Mom, I want nobody other than Benjamin!”

Hazel immediately felt annoyed, “How can you be so shortsighted? Soon we will be living in the presidential palace. Considering your father’s status, you have to behave like a president’s daughter! One day Benjamin will kneel in front of you and lick your boots!”

Sharon simply said, “Mom, I love him.”

“Forget it. Let’s go home,” Elizabeth said.

Sharon said, “Mom, do you know who I want to see the most right now?”

“It's not me? You heartless girl.”

“It’s Winona! I heard that Matt Snider was most likely the one who assassinated the president, so I guess she is having a hard time now,” Sharon said.

Elizabeth wanted to tell her the truth, but once she thought of Christopher’s instructions, she simply muttered, “Forget it. I feel sick when I see that damn Winona!”

Maybe Winona had already been taken to the police station for investigation, or maybe she had already been shot to death by Abram Cohen’s bodyguards.

Sharon walked straight to the car without waiting for Elizabeth and asked the driver to drive towards the Snider family manor. Soon she would be the president’s daughter while Winona was just a target of the public. So she had to take advantage of this opportunity to trample Winona underfoot!
