With confidence, Debby demanded, "For one second, let's forget that you are Jacob's girlfriend. You're still the young lady of the Tao clan. Come on, you shouldn't be so stingy towards your foster parents."
"I won't go back to the Tao clan, and I won't give you Jacob's money either. That's all, end of discussion," Emily answered. Words couldn't describe the turbulent emotions in Emily's mind. She wondered whether money was the only thing that mattered to her foster parents.
"Emily, think of your conscience!" Debby cried out. Debby did not anticipate any resistance from Emily, so she snapped the moment Emily refused to give her money. Since Jacob wasn't around, Debby didn't feel the need to keep pretending to be polite. "We have sacrificed a lot of time and money to raise you. Is this how you intend to repay us for our kindness? Aren't you afraid of retribution?" she asked.
Debby's arrogant words drove Emily up the wall, especially when she mentioned - retribution.
Stunned, Emily looked at her foster parents sitting in front of her with puzzlement, wondering if they had always been such heartless, conniving people.
"Well, then I am afraid that we will have to bother Mr. Andrew and Mrs. Debby for a bill outlining all the expenses they've had paid on your behalf for all these years. Don't worry. I'll give you back the money in full payment." No one noticed Jacob come down from the stairs. With malice and fury in his formerly emotionless eyes, he approached them, turning the atmosphere around him grim and murky with each sinister step.
Andrew and Debby froze, immediately. His intimidating presence had rendered them speechless and gripped their throats with fear.
"What's the matter - cat got your tongue? Steward, please show our guests the way out," said Jacob, without a hint of mercy in his eyes, as he waved his hands at the the steward.
Debby turned to Emily suddenly, and mumbled, "Emily, I..." It seemed that she still had something to say.
However, before Debby could proceed, Jacob cut her words short and said, "Do you need me to show you the way out? Steward, what are you still waiting for?"
"Yes, sir." The steward hesitated at first, but he soon followed Jacob's orders and escorted Emily's foster parents out politely, but assertively.
Emily did not try to intervene. In fact, she did not even glance at them again. The color in her eyes had faded away a long time ago. She waited until her parents had left, and then said, "Please send a driver to take them home, Jacob."
Jacob looked out the window, and found that it was raining outside.
Although Emily pretende
ple around her, without any consideration.
Bess cried profusely, as she also found it difficult to swallow the image of Tina tied to the bed like that. "My poor baby..." she uttered indistinctly.
"Mom, dad, why don't you go out first? I need some time alone with her," said Mark. His voice carried a certain heaviness, devoid of any emotion, but he still failed to hide the hint of sadness lingering in his words.
"No, I don't want to go out. I want to be here for Tina..." Bess insisted, breaking down into tears. Tina was the light of Bess' life. How could she leave her under such circumstances?
"Mom, Tina is your pride and joy. I bet she wouldn't want you to see her like this. Please, go out. I will take care of everything in here," Mark urged her.
Bess still wanted to say something else, but she got dragged away by Abbott to the side. After a lot of persuasion, they finally managed to take her out.
The medical staff looked at each other with distress. "Mr. Mark, if you find any change in her condition, please let us know as soon as possible," they said to him politely.
"I know. Now please, leave us," Mark insisted.
Soon, Mark and Tina were the only ones left in the room.
Although the silken bounds were soft, Tina struggled so hard, that eventually they left red marks on her wrists.
Mark's face froze when he noticed the red marks, and he rushed to loosen her bounds.
As soon as Tina had her freedom back, she rolled down from her bed. Fortunately, Mark was quick enough to catch her in his arms. Despite her struggling, he didn't let her go.
"Hey! You're hurting me. Let me go! Please give me one hit of that drug..." she begged him. Deep inside her heart, she desired for something to ease her pain.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
