Chapter 936: I Didn’t Expect the Sutherland Family to Be So Heartless!
"What are you doing here!" Sophie Brown now has no fondness for anyone from the Sutherland Family! Especially Selah Sutton!Selah Sutton walked in and stood directly in front of Romeo Grant’s hospital bed, smiling gently, "Why say such things? Of course, I’m here to visit President Grant. After all, we used to be in-laws!"
Sophie looked at Selah with cold eyes, "Would you be so kind?! Isn’t this exactly what you wanted to see! If it weren’t for your Sutherland Family spreading the word about Daisy’s unwed pregnancy and her breaking off the engagement, would things have spread so far?!"
Selah chuckled, raising her eyelids to glance at Sophie, "Regardless of who spread the rumors, the truth was spoken, no lies were made. So, what’s wrong? Wasn’t Daisy unwed and pregnant? Didn’t she break off the engagement with our Sutherland Family?! The wedding was set, yet she couldn’t keep herself pure, slept with another man, and you blame others for criticizing your Grant Family? Is it wrong for people to curse your Grant Family?!"
Sophie was momentarily taken aback, accusing Selah, "At first, compensating your Sutherland Family with the Joycity project was in hopes you would forgive Daisy’s indiscretions, to give this child a chance, not to ruin the child, yet never imagined your Sutherland Family would be so ruthless!!"
Daisy Grant’s body shook violently.
She had made so many mistakes, dragging her parents through endless condemnation, yet they compensated with Grant Clan’s largest project solely in hopes that the Sutherland Family would let her go and not disclose her unwed pregnancy, preserving her reputation.
Daisy’s guilt and self-blame surged within her heart; it turns out those who cared for her most and loved her deeply were always her parents...
Daisy raised her eyes to look at Selah Sutton, with a newfound coldness in her gaze.
Selah sneered, "Our Sutherland Family is ruthless? Your Grant Family failed in educating your daughter and still have the nerve to call us ruthless?! Unable to discipline your daughter, she gets involved with a random man, and you still dare say our Sutherland Family is ruthless?!"
Sophie was left pale and trembling, blocked by Selah’s words, yet found no reason to refute.
In this matter, the Grant Family indeed was at fault, because the unwed pregnancy and betrayal were Daisy’s, not Aidan’s.
Daisy stepped forward, coldly looking at Selah, her voice as piercing as ice, "Aunt Sutherland! Our Grant Family has already compensated your Sutherland Family for this matter! The Grants and Sutherlands have had ties for so many years! Aunt Sutherland, to be so aggressive and kicking us when we’re down, is this really good?!"
Daisy’s gaze swept to Aidan Sutherland, "Aidan, between us, who wronged whom, others may not know, but you should! I’ve never wished to tear ties with your Sutherland Family! If you continue to speak rudely about my parents not raising their daughter well, don’t blame me for tearing ties! Aidan, is there really a matter of us wronging each other?"
Aidan had never seen such a frosty Daisy, her tone was more changed than usual, as if she had become a different person. A single thought suddenly flickered in Aidan’s mind: Everyone has their own untouchable side, and even the most patient person has a bottom line. Daisy’s bottom line seems to be her parents.
No matter if you said a thousand harsh words about Daisy, she would remain indifferent, ignoring you, not retaliating; but if you crossed her bottom line, she would harden and never be considered weak!
Aidan looked at such a Daisy and, for a moment, fell into silent reflection, without uttering a word.
"What do you mean?!" Selah glared at Daisy, "You still have the nerve to criticize Aidan?! Do you truly think Aidan can’t live without you?! There’s definitely no shortage of people wanting to marry into our Sutherland Family! If you don’t cherish it, Daisy, it only shows your own shallowness, City C is full of those wanting to marry Aidan!"
