Chapter 63
Meglum bit her lip, shot a shy glance at George, and then answered Bethany’s question in a low voice, “Dad is wonderful and kind to me. I hope to take better care of him and stay with him forever.”
George was very satisfied, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
Conquering young women gave a middle–aged man like him satisfaction.
The light in Bethany’s eyes completely dimmed.
Although Meghan didn’t give her a direct answer, her reply already implied her willingness
Bethany realized that she had spent 20 years raising an unscrupulous wench.
She clutched her heart, the intense pain causing her to suffocate.
”
“Stop talking nonsense, and go make my dinner. Meghan and 1 have been starving since afternoon, and we’ll be going to the hospital to see Eddie and Jas after that, so don’t waste our time, George urged in annoyance.
Bethany’s heart clenched.
She thought in horror, ‘Are they planning to harm Eddie!
Meghan said sweetly, “I’m sorry, Mom. I don’t know how to do chores, so I can’t help you with the housework, but I’ll put more effort into caring for Dad. I’ll take good care of Dad and this family with you in the future. From now on, you can focus on the work around the house while I work hard in the bedroom. This family can only be stable when all aspects are balanced.”
Bethany took a deep breath, suppressing her anger and disgust.
“Please wait while I go and make something for you now. After saying that, she went to the kitchen
Disdain flashed across Meghan’s eyes at Bethany’s cowardice.
She thought, ‘She’s incompetent and unassertive. She has no capabilities other than her looks. Now that she’s older, her beauty is no match for a young woman like me, so it’s expected for her to be abandoned
“Even if I don’t make a move on George, other women will still lure him away.
Instead of letting other women take advantage. I might as well seize it.
“The Gallagher family’s assets are all mine. No one can take them away from met
I don’t care even if I have to give myself to a middle–aged man of fifty to get the family asset.
At least he loves me and supports me.
‘If I look for other men, I might not find one with assets comparable to the Gallagher family’s
‘Even if I find one that does, he probably won’t spoil me like my own family does.
After careful consideration, she chose to seduce George because the Gallagher family was her best choice, and she could get everything easily without having to suffer.
It took Bethany an hour to make dinner.
The three of them sat at the table..
even instructed her to serve food on his and Meghan’s plates.
George even
Bethany didn’t refuse and did as asked.
During the meal, George and Meghan didn’t stop feeding each other.
They had completely disregarded Bethany’s feelings.

Chapter 63
It was as if they were constantly testing Bethany’s bottom line, domesticating her, and deliberately demeaning her so that she would willingly enslave herself to serve and treat them as her masters.
Bethany kept eating with her head down, trying to keep a leash on her temper
Halfway through the meal, Meghan suddenly frowned and rubbed her temples.
“Meghan, what’s wrong?” George asked worriedly.
Meghan answered weakly, I feel dizzy, and I don’t know why.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she fainted in George’s arms.
“Meghan!” A worried expression crossed George’s face as he immediately carried Meghan into his arms, ready to take her to the hospital. However, a wa
a wave of dizziness struck him just as he rose to his feet
He slumped to the ground before he could even speak.
Bethany glanced coldly at the two and continued to eat.
After a long while, Meghan and George finally woke up.
As soon as they opened their eyes, they found that they had been tied up.
They were each tied to an iron shelf, facing each other.
The place was dark. Only a kerosene lamp was lit in the corner, barely illuminating the surroundings.
They looked around and saw that it looked like a basement.
It was dark, damp, suffocating, and stuffy.
“Dad, w–what’s going on? Why are we tied up here? What happened?” Meghan was trembling all over and looked at George with a pale face.
George’s Face was also pale from fear, Yet, he said in a deep voice, “I don’t know either. I just woke up and have no idea what happened”
Meghan said with tears in her eyes. “I remember having dinner at home before passing out. Only Mom and we were at home at that time. Yet, we’re tied up here now. Could it be Mom’s doing?”
George’s features twisted into a mask of anger at the thought of Bethany behind it. “That bitch! How dare she do this to me! She has been eating and using my money for thirty years, and she dares to kidnap me? That bastard! Bethany, show yourself! You ungrateful bitch! I’ve allowed you to enjoy so many years of happiness, and I just want to have another woman now, yet you dare to treat me like this? You ingrate, crazy bitch! That little bitch Evangeline must have taken after you since she’s crazy as well. You’re made
George had already made up his mind that Bethany was behind it.
The three of them had dinner together, and then he and Meghan fainted at the table. When they came about, they were both tied there, but Bethany was nowhere to be seen,
He thought. Who else can it be other than Bethany?
George was about to explode from rage.
How could he not be angry when Bethany had always depended on and was obsequious to his every word? How dared she kidnap him!
He cussed as he struggled with his binds. The iron chains around him shook from the force, but still, he couldn’t break free.
While crying sadly, Meghan choked out, “Dad, what is Mom planning to do? Why would she do this to us? These metal chains are chafing my skin Dad, call Mom to come over quickly. I can’t stand this anymore.”
George’s anger burned brighter when he saw his sweetheart suffering
He yelled, “Bethany, show yourself, you bitch! I have spoiled you for thirty years. I didn’t abuse you, nor did 1 cheat on you. I was so good to you, but you treated me like this. Do you even have a conscience? Meghan is your daughter. You even tied up your own daughter! Even animals wouldn’t

do that! Come and untie us now! If you let us go now, I can forgive you and you’re still the lady of the Gallagher family. If you keep being stubborn, I won’t care about you anymore. You don’t have any abilities nor have a job. You can’t even socialize. You’ll be nothing but trash after leaving my side. I’ll see how you’re going to survive!”
No matter how much George yelled, there was no movement.
The iron door of the basement finally opened after George was tired, and his voice turned hoarse from shouting.
Bethany came in with a flashlight.
“Bethany, you bitch” George yelled.
Slap
Bethany slapped George in the face and glared at him with a dark look
She said, “George, face reality. You’re my captive now. The harsher you cuss, the more miserable death you’ll suffer.”
George looked at Bethany in disbelief and said. “You… Are you thinking of killing me?
A
Meghan also asked, “Mom, we are a family! How can you do this! Let Dad and me go, and I promise I’ll listen to you in the future. If you don’t want me to be with Dad, I’ll stay away from him in the future. Please let me go. Mom, you love me the most. Don’t kill me. I’ll listen to everything you say.”
Slap!
Bethany turned around and slapped Meghan
