Chapter 241
Just because I show a little favoritism to Brittany, you’re going to just watch her get bullied? I really wish-
“To strangle me, right?” This time, Paisley finished Christina’s sentence before she could. She had heard this countless times before.
She used to be too lazy to argue with Christina. Since she knew Christina favored her adopted daughter, saying anything more wouldn’t help. But today, in front of these high–society ladies and the police, she suddenly felt like having a conversation.
“I’m selfish?” Paisley locked eyes with Christina’s frustrated gaze. “I’m your daughter. I got lost when I was three and came back home when I was seventeen.
“Fourteen years passed in between. Any mother who loves her child would try to make up for the years they lost when their daughter finally returns. But what did you do?”
“I–what did I do wrong? Didn’t I raise you well?” Christina was feeling guilty. She avoided Paisley’s gaze. “And is this really the time to talk about this? The important thing now is Brittany!”
“Brittany, Brittany, it’s always about Brittany with you. When I was seventeen and just came home, Brittany had a conflict with a girl and hit her. The girl’s parents came looking for us, and without a word, you pushed me out.
“You said Brittany was just being impulsive, and that as the older sister, I should help my sister. Then I was beaten for nearly half an hour by that girl’s parents.
“I couldn’t even stand up after the beating, and what did you say? You said the wounds were too minor to need a doctor, that I should just rest at home.”
Fortunately, Paisley knew some medical skills and protected her vital areas during the beating, avoiding serious internal injuries. Later, when Gregory asked about it, Christina completely blamed Paisley and perfectly cleared Brittany of all responsibility.
