Chapter 384: Karma
Yvonne shouted crazily. She pointed at Joel and scolded, “You adopted me only because you wanted to matchmake me. Now, you see that I’m useless. This woman is back and you already have a sister, so you’re planning to abandon me! Are you despising me for being a hindrance? You Smiths are all bad people! Bad people! From the moment you adopted me, you’ve been up to no good!”
“…”
She screamed hysterically. If someone did not know better, they would have thought that the Smiths were torturing her.
She did not know how long she had been shouting for before Nora stretched out her fingers and dug her ears. “Tsk, I really can’t listen to it anymore.”
Yvonne’s voice stopped as she looked at her angrily.
Nora squatted down and looked at her face to face. “Before you came, I investigated you.”
She wanted to see if this person could still be saved. Was her heart bad or was it really because she lacked love?
After all, she was an adopted daughter.
The result was shocking.
She took out her phone and opened the information she had saved in the photo album. “You said that he adopted you and treated you badly… Then do you know what the children who were with you at the orphanage are doing now?”
“This is the girl who slept on your top bunk. You should know her, right? She was adopted by an ordinary family, but she didn’t have the money to go to university after she went to high school. So she went out to work and met her boyfriend. The two of them are married now, but they have been fighting for their lives. She never knew in her life that someone’s clothes could be customized for hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars because she had never seen that much money.”
“This is normal. Look at this girl. She’s also a girl from your dormitory. She was adopted by a beastly father and was placed under house arrest for 20 years. He got someone to come to her door and let her pick up guests to earn money. Her life was worse than death. Now that she has that kind of illness, she can’t see well and is waiting to die.”
“And this…”
The pictures were of all kinds of adopted children and their recent situations. Most of the children lived normally, but they were only middle-class.
A small portion of people lived miserably.
Nora looked at Yvonne. “So, why can’t you thank him for never mistreating you, for sending you to the best school, and even sending you overseas to study? The piano, violin, dance, computer, which of these don’t you need resources for? Some people have never come into contact with them. As for company and feelings, some people are just not good at talking, but he has never mocked you or ignored you, right?”
“We shouldn’t ask for too much. The thought of destroying what we can’t get is too terrifying.”
Yvonne still retorted, “I don’t ask for much. I just want a family! But the people in this family are too cold to me! I’m just a child!”
Nora saw that she was being stubborn and sneered. Before she could say anything, Joel’s voice suddenly came from the side. “I originally didn’t want to talk to you, but I don’t want to tarnish my reputation like you! Have you ever wondered why Uncle Ian is so distant and cold to you?”
Yvonne was startled. “What?”
Joel lowered his eyes. “When you were four years old, you had a fever once. Uncle Ian even guarded you for a night. At that time, he even played with you often… He was a perfect father!”
Four years old?
This was something that had happened too long ago, and Yvonne had long forgotten about it.
As she was thinking, she heard Joel say, “Uncle Ian doesn’t treat you well because when you were four years old, he saw you kill the little rabbit that you kept as a pet.”
Yvonne’s entire body froze.
