"Mom, don't!” Bebe could not imagine how desolate her life would become if she lost her mother, the only person she could rely on!
However, she seemed to be vaguely enlightened, allowing her to experience Roxie's pain and despair back then.
Bebe felt sympathy for her half-sister for the first time.
Charles looked at Madam Banners helplessly. At this moment, he was no longer as gentle and good-tempered as he was in the past. He felt a sense of grudge and disdain toward her for all of her past actions.
"Bebe, make your mother put the knife down."
Bebe looked at her father, and the disdainful gaze in his eyes stabbed her heart. She suddenly despised her father from the bottom of her heart as she started thinking that he had bad morals.
Bebe cried as she tried to save her parents' relationship that was on the verge of breaking. "Dad, Mom doesn't want her to come into our house, so you shouldn't let her in. Even if you're getting yourself a new family, I beg you to bring them away and build your family in a new place. You should at least leave this one roof for me and Mom."
Charles angrily rebuked Bebe, "I have a fair share for
this house as well, so why should I leave? You two short-sighted women are only interested in your own benefits. I've had enough of you!”
Madam Banners' eyes were crimson red with tears as she said, "I've finally seen your true colors, Charles Banners. You’re nothing but a gold-digging bastard. You were lying when you said you loved me back then. What you loved was the status, glory, and wealth that I could bring to you.
"In fact, the person you love most is yourself, Charles. You're selfish and heartless. I hate myself for not seeing your true colors sooner."
Madam Banners dropped the knife and no longer threatened to commit suicide.
"My name’s on the title of this house as well, so why should I leave?"
She pulled up Bebe who was sitting on the ground and said, "Bebe, we have to be dependent on each other from now on. Rest assured, no one will be able to drive us away."
Madam Banners pulled Bebe into the bedroom and locked the door. The two of them hugged each other and cried it out while trying to comfort each other.
