Chapter 581
“… You mean to take her abroad?”
“No.”
Betty Eisenhower immediately stood up and said firmly. “The conditions and customs in a foreign country are quite different. She is not even used to the food there. Why do you suddenly take her abroad?”
She had been single for most of her life and looking after her niece. She couldn’t let Mary tear Christina away from her
Mrs. Dickens, who had been silent for a long time, also whispered, “Christina would not be used to living abroad. The dry bread there can’t compare to Chinese cuisine…”
“She’s my daughter.”
Mary looked gloomy. “I’ll take care of her. It’s none of your business.”
Mrs. Dickens felt aggrieved.
“… Get out of here.” Donald suppressed his fury and shouted.
He was reminded of the days in the past – when Mary was at home, the family never knew true stability,
Mary never thought that not only was she not treated with courtesy, but she was being kicked out like this. She immediately became angry too.
She said directly, “I’m her biological mother. I carried her for nine months and gave birth to her. Donald, you are not her real father. I’m taking her to her biological father now. What’s wrong with that?”
“… And now that the Dickens family has suffered a decline, what’s left for you to give her?”
Every word Mary said was degrading to Donald.
Donald’s face darkened,
*Dont talk to my father like this.” Christina blurted out,
She looked suaight at the graceful and beautiful woman in front of her. This woman had made her feel nothing but sange Now she toud Mary was also overtwearing
now fast, when he was young, she always better
the mother’s image But in fact, Mary hat never even
“Bere, they lived so you
can add is not your listin*
Mary spoke gently to her daughter, “The Dickens family doesn’t deserve you. They can’t offer you a better life. I’m taking you away for your own good.”
“You disappeared for 20 years, and now you suddenly popped up and wanted to take me away. Do you think I will listen to you?” Christina was stubborn. She responded to persuasion but not to force.
Mary was shocked by Christina’s attitude and immediately vented her anger. “Donald Dickens, what did you say to my daughter?”
For as long as Mary could remember, her daughter had always listened to her.
With mixed feelings, Donald suddenly fell silent.
All these years, he had been blamed by his daughter, whereas in the 20 years that Mary had disappeared, people always missed her.
“Mary, you can’t do it.” Betty couldn’t stand by.
“You and Donald have been badmouthing me a lot to Christina, haven’t you?”
Mary couldn’t bear anyone damaging her perfect image. She was infuriated. “What was wrong with me? I just wanted to find Christina’s biological father. Now I want to take her to live in ease and comfort. What’s wrong with that?”
“You want to tie me down with this ridiculous marriage.” She turned around and glanced at Donald like a noble queen. “You don’t deserve me. It’s ridiculous that you wanted to have me all to yourself… You did not maintain marital fidelity, either. I know you cheated on me with Connie.”
“We’ve been estranged for so long. I’m not as hypocritical as you guys, and I can’t force myself to live like this. I leh home to give you and Connie what you wanted. Not only haven’t you thanked me yet, but you’ve been blarning me all these years… You’ve been sowing discord among me and my daughter. Donald Dickens, you are sharneless!”
Mary considered herself on the right side.
The people present did not make any refute,
Patrick peered at Mary. Her clothes and jewelry were fancy but in style
“Oud, are you angher
Christina noticed that Donald’s face was suddenly pale She buried over and supported him
Donald held her hand tightly, and his body vemtled a the
Since he suffered a stroke, Donald had not been very strong. He had to take medicine to treat hypertension.
When Betty saw this, she experienced a mixture of feelings.
She steeled herself and dragged Mary toward the door. “Go. No one wants you here.”
“What did you say?”
Mary couldn’t believe it, as her sister had always been obedient to her. “You don’t get to kick me out of this house. Betty, do you think of yourself as the hostess?”
“You’ve been gone for so many years. You abdicate all responsibility for your child and now you suddenly come back. Take her to enjoy a life of ease and comfort?”
“Mary, I know you better than anyone else. You are intent on nothing but profit. You just want to use Christina…”
“I don’t think you’ll ever change. If dad were still alive, he would definitely cut ties with you on the spot.”
Betty stared at her beautiful sister. She was resolute.
She had always lived in the shadow of her sister. She admired and envied Mary, but now she realized that Mary was actually a person of disreputable character.
Betty pushed Mary out of the house and slammed the door shut.
Outside the door, Mary, who had never been treated so rudely by anyone, lost her balance, stumbled forward, and fell on the lawn in the yard.
Her glamorous makeup was smudged and her expensive clothes were disheveled. Looking as awkward as they come, she screamed, “You’re lunatics!”
The people inside ignored her.
Everyone was in a bad mood at the moment. Christina persuaded her father to go back to his room to rest. She took his blood pressure and then gave him a hypotensive drug.
“I won’t go with her. She added casually
Mary still treated her like a child. But she had grown up. How could she just go with someone who had
abandoned her for more than 20 years?
Donald took the medicine. He didn’t say anything. It seemed that Mary’s appearance was a big blow to him. His
Christina, your mother must have ulterior motives. You must not listen to her.”
Betty saw Christina coming out of Donald’s room and immediately warned her.
Having grown up together, she knew her sister very well.
“Next time she comes looking for you, stay away from her, okay?”
Christina nodded.
Betty had brought Christina up, so she always listened to Betty.
“… I’m going to take her back to the Hopkins family.”
Hopkins walked over. His words surprised them.
“You mean, you’re going to take my sister to your family?” Betty asked with a disapproving tone.
“Yes.”
“Why? Didn’t you hear what she said just now?”
“She wants to take Christina abroad. If so, we can never see Christina again. Mary disappeared for twenty years. How can we contact Christina after she left with Mary? Maybe you can bear parting with her, but we can’t!”
Betty had affectionate feelings with her niece.
“I won’t let that happen.”
Patrick always spoke to Betty with respect. He said slowly, “She came back from abroad alone. Of course 1 should invite my mother-in-law to live in the Hopkins family.”
He’d give Mary a dose of her own medicine
I order to prevent her from secertly getting close to Christina it was better to take her home directly and watch
her every move
Patrick also wanted to know where Mary had lived all these years
