Susie mocked and said, "It seems that only money can arouse your interest, you such a miser. Like mother, like son. The daughter of a bitch is another bitch."
The word "bitch" completely provoked Christy.
She said angrily, "That’s enough. Please behave yourself, Susie."
She emphasized the word "Susie."
She didn’t mind when Susie insulted and beat her, but she wouldn’t allow Susie to humiliate her mother.
"Christy, How dare you retort and..."
"Stop talking nonsense, let’s get down to business." Alberto stopped Susie and stared at her unhappily. Then he said to Christy, "We have made an arrangement with President Carey to meet tomorrow. You should go to bed early tonight. We will meet them tomorrow and get you engaged."
"Get engaged as soon as we meet?" Christy was heartbroken and refused steadfastly. "I won't go, you’d better give up."
Alberto looked displeased after hearing her words, he said, "Don't force me to do anything that would harm our relationship. After all, you are my niece, and I don't mean to hurt you."
"You said you don’t want to hurt me?" Christy’s eyes were blurred by tears, "But you have done enough!"
At this moment, she felt extremely sad, heartbroken, and painful. Thinking of what she had suffered over these years, she finally cried.
Strong as she was, she was still a human who desired to feel the warmth of family and to have someone to rely on.
However, she never had...
Alberto took a glance at Christy and looked away, as if he knew he had gone too far these years.
