Chapter 326:
“For the vacations, your youngest daughter was getting new dresses, but this little girl was getting nothing. You totally treated her like a wild child. Or worse, you would force her to do chores and take care of her little sister. Because of these unfair treatments, you would always tell her that it was her responsibility to take care of her little sister because she is the oldest. right?”
As she said those words, Megan thought about her conclusions and a look of disgust appeared on her face. “Even after she was divorced, you let her suffer through a marriage that your youngest daughter wasn’t satisfied with by having her marry instead of your youngest daughter. You sure are a piece of work as a person.”
Belinda felt guilty hearing these words, but on second thought, she thought he was right.
“How? It is the instinct of every human being to be good to their own daughter. She’s not my biological daughter and you know it. Why should I be good to her? I don’t owe her anything. Besides, the Wilson Family raised her, sent her to school and gave her every opportunity to get an education. I have nothing to regret.”
“I’m afraid you’ve forgotten your original intent. Do you think I would choose you mother if given a choice? You adopted her because you and your husband were infertile. But who would have known that since you had your own daughter she was going to be mistreated. Did it ever occur to you that she brought you joy and affection when you watched her suffer through all those injustices?”
Belinda, “…”
Belinda suddenly remembered that before she was pregnant, she and her husband had been very happy to adopt Charlotte, because her eyebrows and eyes were so pretty, they thought she would be a beautiful little girl when she grew up.
And they also talked about finding her a decent husband when she reached marriageable age.
But after Belinda had her own daughter, she changed her mind. She began to hate Charlotte, she even saw that child as a burden and had spent all her money. So she stopped buying Charlotte new clothes, and every time Christina harassed her, she not only ignored it, but was delighted.
Charlotte was taken by the traffickers, Belinda came to think…that was great.
After all, she was adopted from the orphanage. So it wasn’t so bad that she was taken by the traffickers, since she was an abandoned child. And she thought the traffickers could send her to other parents and she wouldn’t have to support her anymore.
These ideas grew like foam in Belinda’s mind, until the police called and said they had found Charlotte and asked her to go to the police station to pick her up.
She hesitated for a long time before going to get Charlotte. Since then, Belinda disapproves of Charlotte even more and wonders why she hasn’t died at the hands of those drug dealers.
Anyway, now everything is inexplicable.
“So, what did you come here today for?”
“Are you admitting that the girl was adopted from the orphanage and is not your biological daughter?”
Belinda nodded. She had nothing to deny. What was done was done.
“Yeah, well, since you’re clear on that, I have nothing to say. Who the hell are you, why do you want to know all this stuff?”
Megan glanced at Zain, he nodded. Then she asked, “What about the security locks?”
Belinda glanced at them and said angrily, “What the hell do you want?”
“Mrs. Wilson, it’s very clear, are you sure you don’t know what we want?”
“You want…” It took her a while to realize what was happening. She looked at them in disbelief, “It’s, it’s just that Charlotte is…”
“Please give her back the security locks if possible. There are inscriptions on them that Zain’s grandfather, Frank Nelson, had made at great expense.”
Belinda felt that life was so illusory. Did she really adopt the daughter of a wealthy family? And now here they come.
No.
She couldn’t give Charlotte away so easily.
As she thought about this, she coughed slightly and said, “You want her back, how do I know if you’re telling the truth? That pair of security locks seems to be worth a lot of money. And, besides, it’s not a crime to adopt a child from an orphanage, is it? As for the rest, it all happened after she was adopted. As her mother, I have the right to decide how to treat her. Now she’s grown up and you’re telling me she’s a child of the Nelson Family? Well, I won’t believe it until you prove it to me. And you’re not getting the security locks back.”
Megan smiled, “I’m glad I made myself clear.”
Then she pulled out a bank card like a juggler and placed it on the table, “Mrs. Wilson, thank you for taking care of Mrs. Nelson all these years. This is five million. If you are willing to return the security locks, the money is all yours.”
Belinda’s eyes lit up when she heard there was five million. As if all the lights suddenly came on in a quiet, dark night.
But soon, she gave a glance to Zain who was standing in front of her. Since she entered, the house was filled with the man’s aura and even she didn’t have enough space for her. Such a rich man… Five million?
With these thoughts in her mind, Belinda pretended to be haughty and coughed slightly,
“What do you mean, five million to buy me? Do I look like a greedy person?”
“According to our research, you owe over a million in gambling debts. Your husband is deep in debt thanks to your debt affair. And Charlotte, your eldest daughter, has already paid the debt for you in advance of 300 thousand, right?”
“You seem to have everything investigated.” Belinda said.
“We think you’re smart enough to know if the deal is worth it or not. Other than the money taken to pay off gambling debts, the rest will be enough for the rest of your life.”
“What do you mean by that?” Belinda stood up angrily, but fearing Zain, she lowered her voice and said, “I’ve raised her for over 20 years, now you say you want to get her back with money?”
“I don’t want to involve money either. In that case, Megan.” Zain said suddenly.
Megan knowingly stepped forward and took the bank card back.
“We haven’t prepared the money before we came. After all, you’re the one who has raised Charlotte for over 20 years. It hurts us to settle it with money. Now that you seem to be in total agreement with us.”
Belinda was completely shocked that Megan withdrew the money.
What’s going on here? She intended to ask for more money, but .
