Chapter 98
“You don’t deserve to be Thomas’s father. From today on, I officially cut ties with you.“}
Richard looked shocked, but he then told me, “Elizabeth, I’m your real father. I raised you! How can you say that?“>
“This is the last time I’ll call you that. Tell me the truth… how did my mother die?“}
He looked guilty, but he still responded, “You know she died of illness.”
“Was it really illness, or did she catch you and Agatha together and die from the shock?”
“She’s been gone for years. Why bring this up again?“}
“So I was right. You and Agatha caused her death. You’ll pay for it.”
“I know you made a lot of dirty money while I was overseas.“}
“In the Woodward Corporation, we don’t cross the line. We might have power, but we follow the law. You broke it to get rich. It ends now.” Richard’s face turned red with anger as he shouted, “How dare you speak to me like this! I’m your father!“>
“Not anymore. I don’t have a father like you.”
“You ungrateful girl! I raised you for nothing!”
“You didn’t raise me. You never paid a cent or did anything for me. You gave your DNA and lived off the Woodward Family. You should be thankful I haven’t sued you for what you owe.”>
He clutched his chest as he said, “You want to drive me to death!”
“I packed your things. Take them and leave.“>
“You’re heartless, throwing out your own father!“}
He kept shouting, but to me, it was just noise. I told my men to send him and his things to the hospital where Agatha was recovering. Let them be together. My brother watched them go.”
He then asked, “Elizabeth, will they come back?“}
“No. It’s just the two of us now.”
After they left, my brother seemed much calmer. I had the estate fully cleaned and restored his room. I also hired a therapist to help him heal. Slowly, he improved. He stopped calling himself a dog and began to live like a normal boy.
One day, we were swinging in the yard when we heard shouting at the gate.
“Let me in! I’m the real owner of this house!“}
“You dogs, let us in! We need to get our things!“}
It was Agatha’s voice. My brother panicked and ran into my arms, shaking. I quickly asked someone to take him inside.§
i went to the gate. Richard and Agatha were arguing with my bodyguards. They had brought reporters with cameras.
I told my men to open the gate.
“How dare you come back?” I said.
Richard raised his chin shamelessly as he said, “Why not? This house belonged to your mother. You kicked me out and stole it!”
Agatha pointed at me, shouting, “You even made me lose my baby! You’re rich and powerful, but you don’t even spare your own father and stepmother! You’re not human!”
