However, it had a sharp tip and was stained with human blood.
Hamish was terrified.
“What are you doing? I’m your father! Put the knife away!”
Winnie remained expressionless. However, she tightened her grip and squeezed the letter opener with her index finger.
A streak of blood immediately appeared on Hamish’s neck.
That realization made him stunned in place.
Winnie finally parted her lips and broke the silence. “Do you really think you’re qualified as a father, a husband, or even a human?”
Hamish was stunned. The disbelief was visible in his eyes.
“How could you say something like this? You’re a dumbass! Did someone ask you to say so?”
Winnie still had a faint smile while she tightened her grip and applied pressure on the letter opener again.
At that moment, she really wanted to dig Hamish’s heart out and take a look at it.
Winnie wanted to know if his heart was made of flesh and what the color of his heart was.
However, suddenly, a large hand grabbed her wrist gently.
It was Nathaniel.
Shock flashed through his blue eyes, and he stared at Winnie with sympathy and concern.
He then tried to persuade Winnie in Chanaean with a strong foreign accent, “Cutie pie, please don’t do it and put the knife away. I’m sure that the problem can be resolved peacefully.”
Winnie couldn’t help but feel amused when she heard Nathaniel’s words.
I don’t think he knows my identity. I can’t believe he even called me cutie pie.
Just when she was about to open her mouth, a hand stained with blood grabbed her ankle.
It was Daniel calling for help, “Please call an ambulance. I can’t hold on any longer. I don’t want to be without an heir! Please save me, please.”
His pleading successfully attracted Winnie’s attention.
Winnie lowered her head, raised her leg, and kicked Daniel away.
“You’re an animal! You don’t deserve to use social medical resources,” Winnie said while looking at Daniel disdainfully.
Nathaniel was rendered speechless. He had heard that the daughter of the Garland family was mentally challenged. However, he didn’t think that she looked like she was mentally challenged at all.
Moreover, Nathaniel thought Winnie was gorgeous. She looked even prettier in real life than in the blurry photo on the news.
If it weren’t for the situation, he would’ve showered her with compliments already.
However, it was of utmost importance for him to devise a plan and deal with the current situation.
Hence, Nathaniel gave a sensible suggestion. “Let’s call the police and let them take care of this.”
“N-No…”
“No, don’t call the police!”
The weak Daniel and anxious Hamish refused in unison. If Nathaniel called the police, then their shameful deed would be exposed.
One of them abused his niece, and another sent his daughter to be toyed with by his cousin. If they were sent to the police station and what they did was exposed to the public, they would have to face social death.
