Chapter 157 Cut All Ties
Kerwin’s brows furrowed.
Conceding so soon? Is she going to let them go? That was not his style of doing things.
His aim was to crush the Watson family and let them struggle in poverty. They would not learn tolerance unless they were pushed to
the wall.
In an inquiring way, he looked down at Betty and fumed at the sight of her red eyes.
“Betty, they’re mean to you. Are you sure you want to let them go?”
Betty had her own thoughts. She didn’t
forgive them. She just gave up on them.
It was not that she didn’t want to take
revenge. Then what? As long as she was still
a member of the Watson family, she would be entangled with them. She was fed up.
Her eyes on Daisy and Roger, Betty plucked up the courage and said, “Yeah, I want to let
them go.”
“Why?” Kerwin asked in disbelief.
“I don’t think I owe the Watson family anything. On the contrary, Roger owes my mother and me. He claimed my mother
against her will, and then I came to this
world. All these years, he pays no attention to
us!”
Roger lowered his head and fell silent. He was stung by his conscience.
Betty continued, “All along, they treat me
like dirt, but I can’t be as heartless as them.
Kerwin, I hope you’ll let them go and live a
peaceful life with me. Compared with taking
revenge, I’d rather steer clear of them.”
Daisy and Roger both gave flattering smiles.
“Yeah, we’re family after all. Betty, you did
the right thing! Hehe, everything is just a
misunderstanding.”
Kerwin glared daggers at Daisy and snarled, “Shut up!”
Daisy cowered in fear.
Betty laughed. Family… so harsh.
Since when did they consider Sherry and her part of the family?
Daisy and her daughter had always seen them as thorns in the side. Assuming
patronizing attitudes, they trod Betty and her mother underfoot.
All these years, the Watsons had been meaning to her. Even their nanny despised
her.
With a poker face, Betty scoffed, “Family? In your mind, you are kind to me, and I should repay you. Is kinship valued in this way? I don’t get it. As I see it, I only owe Roger half
of my gene.”
“Betty… You…” Roger felt guilty.
Betty shed tears. She couldn’t help it.
Any other girl was the apple of her father’s eye and doted on like a princess. What about Roger? He was timid in front of Daisy, conniving, and indifferent to her.
If he had visited her mother and her, their lives would probably haven’t been so hard. Her mother wouldn’t have worked many jobs till her health collapsed.
Betty’s heart was filled with contradictions and bitterness. Who could understand her?
She wiped her tears and said, “Today, I beg Kerwin to let you go. See it as my payback. Starting today, I’ll cut all ties with the Watson family. That’s what you want, isn’t it? We’ll no longer be related, and I hope you’ll stop bothering my mother and me.”
At the end of the day, Betty was his daughter. Roger didn’t want to break off with her, especially after learning about her marriage.
to Kerwin.
He could tell how much Kerwin cared about
Betty. This relationship would be helpful to
the business of the Watson family.
“That’s wrong. The Watson family failed
you, but you’re my daughter. Betty…” Roger Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
said.
In a fierce manner, Daisy pulled him back and said, “So be it! Your mother and you
shouldn’t have appeared in our lives. If it were not for you, we wouldn’t have…”
Daunted by Kerwin’s glare, she stopped halfway through her speech but whispered in a grudging way, “We came to this because of you. Humph, now you become a hero!”
“Is this your attitude?” Kerwin sneered.
Daisy and Roger fell into despair once again.
They laid their eyes back on Betty, signaling her to pacify Kerwin.
Betty hated them for disgracing her in front
of Kerwin.
“Mr. Martin, please give us another chance,”
Roger pleaded.
He reprimanded Daisy, “Go and apologize to
Betty! Now!”
Despite her reluctance, Daisy said, “Betty, please forgive me. I didn’t mean it.”
In the wheelchair, Kerwin glared at Daisy
without a word.
His gaze was intimidating.
Sensing an unfavorable situation, Daisy changed her tone and said, Betty, I’m…”
She was unwilling to swallow her pride.
However, Kerwin looked her dead in the eye.
For the sake of their future and her affluent
life, she had to apologize.
Against her will, she said, “Betty, I’m sorry.
It was all our fault.”
Betty listened. That didn’t make her happy at
all.
She knew Daisy was not sincere, but it was
already a miracle that an apology came out
of her mouth.
From now on, they would be strangers.
Betty turned to look at Kerwin and
whispered, “I’m tired.”
She really was. These people made her sick. She didn’t want to see their faces ever again.
Kerwin was distressed to see her red eyes and itched to wipe out their existence.
Then again, he respected her choice.
Kerwin took her cold hand in his and glared at them once again. “For Betty’s sake, I’ll let you go. There won’t be next time.”
The hearts of Daisy and Roger trembled. They didn’t dare to move or utter any sound.
Daisy said in a flattering manner, “We won’t bother you again, I promise. Neither will
Emily.”
“You’d better be.” Kerwin sneered, “Or, it
won’t be just your business that gets seized!”
Daisy and Roger felt weak and dizzy.
Without another look at them, Kerwin led
Betty to get out of the house.
