William looked at Miranda, who was curled up by the doghouse, eating nothing but plain bread, and frowned.

He said, “David, Miranda is still your daughter. Isn’t that going too far, making her eat in front of the doghouse?”

David gave Miranda a cold, hard stare and said, “William, stay out of it. She’s already trying to hurt Emily at her age. Who knows what kind of mess she’ll stir up in the future?

I’m teaching her a lesson so she knows her place. Now that she’s back with the Hawthorne family, she’d better learn to behave. She should know I can give her everything, but I can take it all away in a heartbeat.”

David shot Miranda a look of pure disgust. “If Dad hadn’t insisted on bringing her back, I wouldn’t even want her in my sight.”

Just then, the woman next to David chimed in, “William, quit sticking up for her. That girl’s got a nasty streak. She only pretended to be sweet when Edward was around, but as soon as he got sick, she showed her true colors.

“She even shoved Emily into the pool. If we hadn’t shown up when we did, Emily might not be here now. If we don’t put her in her place, she’ll never learn.”

This woman was Yvonne, Edward’s eldest daughter.

Yvonne shot a cold glare at Miranda by the doghouse and sneered, “Honestly, she’s lucky the Hawthorne family even lets her stay and gives her food.

“If she had to live with her mom who works at a nightclub, do you think she’d even have enough to eat?”

Yvonne let out a mocking laugh. “She’d probably go hungry, or worse, end up as a plaything for those men. She’s just a kid, but already knows how to flirt and manipulate.

“Don’t forget, she tried to steal Emily’s fiancé not long ago. If he wasn’t such a stand-up guy, she would’ve gotten her way. Who knows what her mom did to hook up with David back then?

“Now she thinks she can copy her mom’s moves? Does she think we’re idiots?”

“Don’t talk nonsense!” William snapped. “I don’t think Miranda is that kind of person.”

Yvonne scoffed. “She’s the best at playing innocent and fooling people. William, don’t fall for her act.”

William didn’t bother arguing with her anymore. He turned to David and said, “Whatever went down between you and Miranda’s mom, she’s still your kid. Don’t cross the line with her.

“Just look at your two daughters: Emily gets treated like royalty, while Miranda gets treated like trash. If Dad

hadn’t been around to protect her, she’d have been living worse than a beggar.

“Now Dad’s in a coma and can’t stop you, but if he ever wakes up and finds out how you’ve been treating her, he’d be so mad that he might just keel over.”

“Shut up!” Elizabeth, who hadn’t said a word until now, slammed her hand on the table. “William, are you really that bored? Why do you even care about that worthless brat?

“If you’ve got nothing better to do, why don’t you go get ready for your father’s funeral instead of butting into David’s family affairs all the time.”

“Mom!” William shouted angrily as he jumped to his feet. “Dad’s not dead yet! What funeral are you talking about? He was perfectly fine, and then suddenly collapsed.

“The doctors say there’s nothing they can do, so you’re all just giving up on him? Don’t forget who gave you everything you have now. As long as I’m around, nobody’s giving up on Dad.”

With that, William turned and walked away. Before leaving, he shot Miranda a look and sighed deeply.

He’d done all he could.

Now, all he could do was hope someone could track down Miracle Doctor and bring Edward back. Maybe then, Miranda would actually stand a chance.

If not, David and others would push her right over the edge sooner or later.

As William got to the front gate, a Maybach rolled up and stopped right in front of him.

Three people got out of the car.

An old man, a middle-aged man, and a young girl.

William looked momentarily confused. “Who are you here for?”

“Hello, I’m here to see Mr. Edward Hawthorne,” Nina said.

William was caught off guard. ‘They are here for Dad?’ he wondered.
