Chapter 9
“Can you forgive Dad this time?”
“Of course-
I finished the second half of my sentence in his suddenly bright eyes and said, “No.”
“Those who break the law and behave disorderly must receive the punishment they deserve.”
When I took out my phone to call the police, Mina, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly grabbed my hand.
“Carissa, don’t call the police.”
I stared at her blankly, “Why?”
“They were family after all, and so were you
Η
Her voice became smaller and less confident, “I came back safely, just forget about it, okay?”
The last trace of my expectations towards them disappeared completely in my heart.
She carefully pried her fingers one by one off my phone, took the tissue Nicolas handed her and wiped her hands clean.
“I would come back because I was lucky.”
Nicolas grasped my shoulders, giving me strength.
I shook Nicolas’s hand and said, “If Nicolas hadn’t acquired the Hart Gang half a month ago, I wouldn’t have known how I would have
died.”
“But we were all family.”
Mina pleaded desperately, “Even if Mom begged you, okay? Your father had an accident, and we wouldn’t be a complete family
anymore.”
Calvin also crawled in front of me and knelt down, saying, “I promise I will never do such things again. Please forgive me.”
Nicolas had the bodyguards pull them all apart so that I wouldn’t get annoyed watching them.
Mina knew that being dragged into the adjacent lounge was still letting me spare Calvin
Throughout, she never mentioned Jenna.
So, she didn’t actually want to give me a complete home, she was just afraid that Calvin would go in and it would affect her in the
future.
At the end of the day, it was just selfishness.
Frank had long been terrified by a series of developments.
“Carissa, I was also unaware of this matter, I didn’t know Jenna would treat you like this.”
“Is this okay?” he suddenly asked me, “As long as you don’t hold it against me this time, I will marry you.”
My brows furrowed heavily, thinking that he might have gone crazy,
Unfortunately, Frank hadn’t finished speaking yet, “After we get married, I will give you two houses and an annual allowance of 160 thousand dollars. I can buy you anything you want.”
Nicolas kicked him in the stomach.
“Do you think you deserve to speak to my sister like this?”
Frank rolled on the ground in pain, clutching his stomach, and shouted that he would definitely treat me well after marriage.

The foster parents who had been waiting outside for a long time couldn’t bear it anymore.
Dad came in and glared at Nicolas disapprovingly, “Can’t you handle even a small matter properly? Did you make our baby feel wronged again?”
Myr
y mother looked me up and down, making sure I wasn’t injured, before she breathed a sigh of relief.
“Mr. Ritter!”
“Is it really Mr. Ritter from the Ritter Gang? How could he call Carissa ‘baby‘?”
“Could it be that Carissa is Ms. Ritter, who never had any visitors at the Ritter family’s house?”
My parents started from scratch and became business legends. Many people knew them.
Frank naturally recognized it as well.
He looked at our family of four standing together in disbelief and finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.
“Jenna!”
He exploded, “It’s all because of you! Why didn’t you say that Carissa was from the Ritter family!”
“How would I know!” Jenna was also furious, “Isn’t it you who found out that she is an orphan that nobody wants?
No one wanted?
I laughed. At that time, I had a fight with Nicolas because of work issues, so I lived alone outside and liked to help at the orphanage. I didn’t expect that it would make them think I was an orphan.
“It was you who fucking provided the wrong information.
Frank got up from the ground and went to hit jenna,
Two people wrestled on the ground, rolling all over the living room.
“Jenna, you were a crawling creature in the gutter, afraid that Carissa would come back and compete with you for attention, so you resorted to extreme measures!”
“Frank, what kind of person are you? Which woman you’ve slept with isn’t disgusted?”
“Then you were stronger than all those people you were with! You were absolutely filthy, I felt disgusted even hitting you!”
When I was avoiding two people, I accidentally knocked off the fruit knife on the table.
The next second, Jenna’s hand touched the fruit knite and she forcefully stabbed it downwards,
“Ah!”
Frank curled up on the ground, his lower body soaked in blood.
Jenna stared at the fruit knife in her hand and the piece of meat still jumping on the ground, frozen.
Nicolas covered my eyes and said, “Dirty stuff, don’t look ”
Jenna panicked and threw the knife away, running outside. She was stopped by the police just as she reached the door. As witnesses, all the people who attended the banquet today were invited to the police station for questioning.
I provided all the surveillance footage from the Brooks family as evidence.
They were immediately detained as soon as the evidence chain was complete and there was no possibility of any forgery.
