Chapter 408
Adina’s heart was filled with excitement, but that excitement only lasted for a second before it quickly disappeared.
She pursed her lips and pulled the glass door open to enter her company.
“Hold on,” Aaron said with a cold and angry demeanor. Adina did not stop moving. She really had a meeting to attend, so she did not have time to waste there. “I raised you for eighteen years. Shouldn’t you repay me for my parenting and kindness throughout those eighteen years?” When Adina heard Aaron’s words, she suddenly chuckled from anger.
She held the doorknob of the glass door, then turned around and said, “Parents have a legal obligation to support their children, and children have an obligation to support their parents. I can financially support you, but I don’t have an obligation to get Dew out of prison.” He actually wanted to guilt trip her with his eighteen years of so-called parenting. It was hilarious.
“If you were my biological daughter, it would be my duty to raise you for eighteen years, but …” Aaron raised his head, and his gaze was profound.
“You’re not my daughter, but I still raised you for eighteen years. Shouldn’t you repay me for the kindness you received in the past? I don’t have any other requests either. As long as you get Dew out of prison, we’ll call it even.”
Adina felt like she had been struck by lightning.
The Daugherty family had been extremely cruel to her over the past five years, but she had been happy in the eighteen years before that. She might have come up with that guess over the recent years, but she had been filled with grief and resentment. She never thought that she was not a member of the Daugherty family
Then again, if Aaron was truly her father, would a father be that cruel to his biological daughter? She should have expected this.
Adina removed her fingers from the doorknob and gradually snapped out of her daze.
