Chapter 1910
Eira was simply shocked by the sudden flattery, she asked Delmont in disbelief, "Dad, what did you say?"
"Don't go home today and stay with me. You have to know that this is also your house. I will let the maid tidy up a room for you, alright?" Delmont said.
Eira was speechless. She could not believe that her father would treat her like that. She has had her walls up against her father for a long time, and she almost had no affection for him at all. However, at that moment, she suddenly burst into tears. "Dad, I have actually always wanted to be close to you."
Delmont felt upset. "I know..."
Eira wiped her tears. "I'm sorry, Dad. I can't stay here. I have to go home to accompany my mom at night. Her mind is not functioning well, so I have to take care of her. Mom, Aunt Joy, thank you for the new clothes. Thank you so much. I have to take my leave first now, but I will come early in the morning tomorrow to accompany Brooke."
She wanted to come early in the morning because she wanted to steal. Although Eira saw her father in a different light at that moment, she still wanted to steal. That was because Eira knew that no matter how good her father treated her, it was impossible for him to support her mother and brother, so she had to steal. She carried a bunch of Brooke's unwanted clothes, which was given to her by Joy, on her back and left the Stevens family's mansion like she was fleeing. Her little figure swayed as she walked while carrying such a big bag on her back. Delmont watched her for a long time behind her.
"Are you feeling sorry?" asked Joy.
Delmont sneered. "You and Eira are not related by blood at all. of course, you can speak as if it has nothing to do with you! However, they are both my daughters! Besides, the girl that the d*mned old man fancied is Brooke and not Eira!" 1
Joy choked Delmont's neck in one fell sweep and her nails were pinched into his flesh. "Delmont Stevens, listen to me! I have wasted all of my youth on you! I had never taken any advantage of you! I only have a daughter, Brooke! If anybody dares to harm her, I will fight the person to death!"
Delmont was suffocating to the point that he kept coughing. "You.Jet go first. Let go..." Only then did Joy let him go.
Delmont's face completely reddened from being suffocated. "Our attitude is the same! As long as someone dares to have funny ideas about my precious daughter, I will fight that person to death! The worst case is that I abandon the company! Let it go bankrupt!"
"Do you want my daughter to live the same life as your ex-wife's daughter? Let her have no place to call home, let her parents become discredited debtors and be imprisoned, and then affect our daughter for her whole life? When that time comes, our daughter will still fall into the hands of that d*mned old man," Joy asked.
Delmont got anxious. "Tell me what we should do then?"
"Only one can be sacrificed!" said Joy without hesitation.
Originally, she had a little sympathy for Eira. When Joy's interest was not harmed, she was very willing to give Eira some help. For example, since Brooke's unwanted clothes were going to be thrown out anyway, Joy would do Eira a favor and gather all those clothes together to send to Eira. Not only that, but Joy had even personally matched those clothes so that Eira would not simply match the clothes to wear after she had gone home.
