Chapter 258: Disgust
Chapter 258: Disgust
Henry Stanton almost let something slip. He instinctively glanced at Summer Monroe, and seeing she had no reaction, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Now Summer Monroe was his cash cow. If she found out that Clarissa Stanton was his biological daughter, it would do him no good.
Clarissa Stanton never expected that accusing Summer Monroe would result in Henry Stanton’s disgust.
She widened her eyes in disbelief and said in a daze, "Dad, everything I said is true..."
"You dare to say it!" Henry Stanton slapped Clarissa Stanton across the face.
Clarissa Stanton’s head was directly knocked to the side, with five clear fingerprints on her face.
"Dad...?" She held her face, tears involuntarily pouring out.
She couldn’t understand why her father would rather believe Summer Monroe, a countryside bumpkin who was just brought home, than believe her, a daughter who had always been by his side?
Both of them were his biological children!
"Don’t you dare call me Dad, I don’t have a daughter like you!" Henry Stanton continued to curse.
But after cursing for a while, he was also tired.
Henry Stanton’s expression gradually became numb.
He exhaled several times, then turned and instructed the servants, "Keep an eye on her, deliver meals to her every day, and don’t let her step out of the room! If I find out she got out because of anyone, they’ll regret it!"
"Yes!" The servant responded fearfully.
Clarissa Stanton’s shoulders were soon held down by two tall bodyguards.
"No! No!"
Clarissa Stanton struggled frantically, using all her strength to resist.
She didn’t want to be locked up right after coming back! How was this different from being in a temple?
The temple at least had several acres of space to move around, but being locked at home, she only had a few dozen square meters.
She had completely lost her freedom!
Just moments ago, Henry Stanton was full of guilt towards her. How could things turn out like this just because of a few words from Summer Monroe?
She was unwilling! Very unwilling!
Henry Stanton saw that the bodyguards hadn’t taken Clarissa Stanton upstairs for a long time and frowned in displeasure, "Haven’t you eaten? Can’t you even drag her upstairs?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two bodyguards immediately stopped hesitating and dragged Clarissa Stanton upstairs.
Clarissa Stanton cried out angrily, but no one paid her any attention.
Summer Monroe watched Clarissa Stanton’s figure disappear around the staircase corner before turning back to ask Henry Stanton, "What about the butler?"
Henry Stanton looked coldly at the half-dead butler and said expressionlessly, "I remember he has a son who’s looking for a job. I’ll notify everyone involved with me that none of them are to hire him!"
Even though the Stanton Group was not as influential as the former Monroe Group, the connections were still there. With Henry Stanton’s word, at least more than half of the big companies in Crestfall wouldn’t hire the butler’s son.
The butler’s face turned pale, and he begged repeatedly, "Sir, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have listened to the madam and taken matters into my own hands. I can return all the money she gave me to you, please spare my son!"
Henry Stanton looked as cold as frost and waved his hand, saying, "Break his leg and throw him out. If I see him again, you’ll all be out! And listen up, if I find anyone only recognizes Stella Monroe as their master, the consequences will be even more severe!"
This statement made all the servants reconsider. If they helped Stella Monroe again, they would have to weigh the consequences carefully.
After all, the master of this house was Henry Stanton, not Stella Monroe.
Summer Monroe’s expression was calm, but her eyes glimmered with a cold light like a faint moon.
This way, even if Stella Monroe had some unknown way of coming back, there was no way she could return to how things were before.
