Chapter 19
Grace thought, “What does it mean?
When she heard it, Grace’s mind went blank, and she felt an unprecedented panic.
“Terry, Mom.”
spone of their hands.
Grace rushed toward the Hacker family, attempting to grasp
Unfortunately, she failed.
Terry discreetly helped Kerry to avoid Grace.
“How could you treat me like this? I couldn’t go to jail. Why should I go to jail?”
Grace couldn’t help shaking her head, her pleading gaze turned to Kim. “Dad, say something”
In the past, Kim doted on her the most. As long as she pouted and shed a few tears, there was nothing that Kim wouldn’t agree to
“That’s enough,” Kim scolded angrily. “In the past, our family could tolerate your mistakes, but now you have harmed your sister. You have taken advantage of our love for you and played with us in the palm of your hand. There’s no need to pretend anymore.”
Kim had an angry expression on his face and disappointment filled his eyes.
“After Amanda came back, we never treated you poorly just because she is our biological daughter. We even neglected her for fear of making you unhappy Yet, you still weren’t satisfied and committed such an ugly act.”
Kim had been dominating the business market for decades, but little did he expect to be deceived by his daughter, whom he had nurtured for over twenty years
At that moment, anger almost overwhelmed Kim. “Since you have become heartless and unjust, then we will consider you as if we never had a daughter like you. These past twenty years, all the time and effort… We could pretend nothing had happened between us.”
After finishing speaking, Kim turned to the butler. “Go throw all her belongings out. We no longer have her
Grace was startled.
She couldn’t believe that Kim would turn so heartless.
“Haha. Now everything wrong is my fault? You don’t care about your daughter. And you don’t trust me. It’s all my fault, right? Clearly, you blinded yourselves and deceived yourselves. It’s your stupidity.
“You guys deserved it. Amanda deserved it too,” Grace shouted.
There came a loud sound
A heavy slap fiercely landed on Grace’s face.
This time, it was unexpectedly Kerry, who had always cherished Grace the most.
She said with red eyes, “These years, it’s our fault as parents for not teaching you well. Now we have to atone, and you must atone too.
“Mr. Powell, we will temporarily assign these two things to you. We will also send people to search for her. We will do what needs to be done.”
Kerry wiped away her tears.
Although she was heartbroken, she still gathered her spirits.
“Okay,” Adam said concisely
After the Hacker family left, only Adam and Grace remained in the ward.
“I know you didn’t want to die, and you shouldn’t think about forcing death or using suicide to get someone’s attention anymore. As you can see, no one will fall for your tricks anymore. Now, explain everything you have done to Amanda over the years.”
Adam looked at Grace and said, “I would consider making your time in prison a bit easier.”
Half an hour later, Adam walked out of the ward.
in the recording, Grace admitted to all the crimes she had committed against Amanda over the years.
Adam’s heart ached as if being twisted.
