Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 197

Christina could tell Miranda was really mad when she saw the latter’s face turn bright red,

She kept her feelings of glee suppressed and maintained a calm expression as she continued, “The fact that my father was able to kick you out back then shows that you’re not that important to him. When my mother was sick and had to be treated in the hospital, my father looked after her and fed her oatmeal. Has he ever treated you that well?”

Christina even showed Miranda a picture she took the other day just to prove her point.

Miranda was clenching her fists so tightly that she crumpled up the handkerchief in her hands.

This b*tch is actually right! I never did receive such treatment from Gideon! He’s spoiled because he always had someone around to serve him, so it is unlikely that he would feed another woman oatmeal! Even so, he did it for Sharon! He never looked after me whenever I was sick! All he did was drink and philander his nights away!

A huge wave of jealousy surged through Miranda, and she hurled the dress at Christina in a fit of rage. “Get lost, you b*tch! You and your mother are unworthy of the Steele family’s fortune!”

Christina knew she had achieved her goal when she saw Miranda lose her temper.

“Why would we care about the Steele family’s money when its prized possession is already in my hands?” she said with a disdainful sneer and strutted out of the Steele residence.

Miranda’s expression grew incredibly vicious after being taunted and provoked like that.

She needed a way to vent all of that anger and frustration.

Having realized how little the pretty dresses were worth in comparison to the emerald pendant, Miranda tossed the dress aside, stormed out of the house, and had her driver prepare the car.

About half an hour later, Miranda arrived at an old psychiatric hospital.

Sharon, who was curled up in a corner, got so scared that she trembled all over when the door to her room. opened.

She had been locked up in there for seven days. Those people hurt her during the first few days and kept giving her injections later on.

Whenever Sharon felt sleepy and began to forget who she was, she would recite Christina’s name in an attempt to jog her memory.

She feared that she would someday wake up and not even remember her own daughter’s name.

“Give me the emerald pendant, Sharon!” Miranda yelled as she walked up to her and slapped her across

the face.

A woman like Sharon does not deserve such an expensive emerald pendant!

Sharon’s face turned red from the slap, and the wound looked all the more obvious on her pale skin.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!” All she got from the Steele family when she left was an old condominium unit.

Naturally, Miranda assumed she was lying because she didn’t want to hand over something so valuable.

She then had two nurses hold Sharon still while she slapped her repeatedly across the cheek.

Sharon’s face was bleeding after about a dozen slaps, and she had passed out from the pain.

Still unsatisfied, Miranda had the nurses wake Sharon up with icy–cold water.

Sharon shuddered the moment the cold water hit her, and she was starting to break down mentally from the abuse.

She felt really dizzy, and her memories were slowly fading away like sand in an hourglass.

“I want Christina! Give her back to me…”

Miranda snickered as she stared at Sharon, who was starting to lose her sanity from the torture.

Knowing that Sharon was concerned about Christina instead of the Steele family’s fortune helped quell, her anger a little.

“Christina isn’t even your daughter! She has nothing to do with the Steele family! You sure are shameless for wanting someone else’s daughter as your own!”

Sharon shook her head and screamed at the top of her lungs, “No! Christina is my daughter! She’s my daughter!”

Feeling dissatisfied that her question regarding the emerald pendant’s whereabouts was still unanswered, Miranda grabbed a vase and smashed it against Sharon’s head.

Fine! If I can’t get my answers today, then I’ll just keep coming back until she tells me what I want to know! Let’s see how long Sharon can keep that little secret of hers…

Francis was surprised when he recognized Nathaniel’s license plate. What? Nathaniel? How did he find this place so quickly?
