Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 72

I raised my head and drew in a sharp breath. For so many years, Dad has been giving me the cold shoulder. He rarely ever speaks nicely to me, yet the only time he softened his tone is because of Crystal. What have I done wrong to receive such treatment?

“Dad!” I could not help but sob. “You would sacrifice everything I have just for Crystal? I’m human too. I’ll get hurt!”

“This is an expedient strategy!” insisted Nathan.

“Yeah, so what you mean by an ‘expedient strategy’ is that my cousin will steal my husband away from me and ruin my family? Not only that, but I also have to resolve her scandals and admit that I’m the mistress, right? I have to send my husband to her, bestow him upon her, and wish her eternal happiness, huh?”

The anger I had suppressed for a long time finally erupted. I roared, “Dad, there’s nothing else for us to discuss. Since she dared to do it, why should she be afraid of others talking behind her back? Don’t even think about getting me involved in tomorrow’s press conference!”

I pushed open the car door and got off angrily, ignoring Nathan’s furious yells at me.

For so many years, I lived like an orphan. When I was bullied at home, no one would protect me. After getting married, I was still bullied. Even then, everyone ignored me. Sometimes, I did not even know why I was living anymore. It was as if the entire universe wished for my demise.

If something bad happened to Crystal, it would be my fault. If something bad happened to Yvette, I would be at fault. I was to be blamed for everything.

When I returned to my house, I stood at the entrance and relaxed my stiff back. Only here would I have a chance to catch my breath and feel at peace. I took out my keys and opened the door, not noticing a man standing in the shadows.

After I pushed the door open and entered, someone forcefully shoved me inside from behind and slammed the door shut. I stumbled into the house and collapsed, almost hitting my head on the table.
