Chapter 44
"So you're still aware that you're my biological daughter? You are no different than a
bastard! Even though Madeline died, she left a child to carry on the Quincy family's legacy.
We are the maternal family of the Quincy family's young master, and what did you do? You
had the audacity to spend Shallow Bay development funds on a dress? Are you crazy,
Angie?"
Angie was punched and kicked as she lay on the ground because Bruno was in such a
mindless rage that he paid no attention to her pitiful appearance.
Never before had Angie experienced such treatment. She was devastated to the core.
Her hair was a tangled mess as she lay on the ground. Her entire body was bruised and in
pain. In the Grant household, she had always been treated like a princess. Bruno had
never hit her before.
What's happening right now?
She was the most dignified woman in Imperia. What gave Bruno the right to touch her?
Was she now nothing more than a dead bastard in his eyes?
"Are you going to kill me, Dad? What do you gain by killing me? Can you recoup the
money by killing me?"
"I can't get the money back, but you must learn your lesson. Since you were a young
child, I have spoiled you, which has caused you not to know when to draw the line!"
Angie was in dire straits. As he observed her, Bruno had no intention of stopping. As he
spoke, he charged toward her and grabbed her by her hair.
Angie was lifted by her hair like a little chick and then dropped to the floor heavily.
Angie felt dizzy and had a metallic taste in her mouth as she lay on the ground. She spat
blood from her mouth.
Angie became terrified when she saw Bruno approaching her again. Instinctively, she
curled up and ducked as if she saw a ghost.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuzette heard the commotion and went downstairs to investigate. When she saw Angie's
dire state, she went weak in the knees and nearly fell down the stairs.
She had spent the entire year being tortured by Bruno, so she was terrified when she saw
that scene. However, she was forced to be brave and intervene when she realized that her
daughter was nearly beaten to death.
"Bruno! Bruno, what are you doing? How do you expect Angie to marry into the Quincy
family if you broke her?"
"Hmph! She still wants to marry into the Quincy family? Are the Quincy family saints?"
"Didn't we make plans for this the last time? Bruno, you need to give Angie another
chance. Noah is still single, and parents live vicariously through their children's success.
It's not like..."
"Hahaha! Parents live vicariously through their children's success? You just want me to put
this out there, huh? Take a look at this! She's trash. Do you think Noah is blind?"
Bruno laughed as if he had just heard a ridiculous joke. Then he pulled out a large
envelope containing a thick photo stack and threw it on Angie.
The photos were all over the place, and Angie was in every one of them.
However, the men in the photos with her were all different.
Angie finally understood why Bruno was suddenly so ruthless to her!
It turned out that he believed she was beyond saving and no longer helpful to his plan!
These photos, however, were taken while she was studying abroad, and she had made
sure to tie up all the loose ends at the time. How did they end up being discovered and
even sent to Bruno?
Who was out to destroy her on purpose?
"Take a look at these. That's the good daughter you raised right here. She's just a whore
who's been fucked by a slew of men!" Bruno reprimanded her severely, and his heart was
broken beyond repair.
He was devastated when he got the envelope this evening.
He had lost all hope.
Bruno was humiliated and ashamed. It's the end of the road for the Grants. It's the end for
him as well!
That shameless bitch Angie was to blame for everything!
He had carefully raised his daughter. She had everything she needed from childhood to
adulthood. She had dressed the best and eaten the best. She got everything she asked
for. She grew up to be so licentious in the end. What a fucking embarrassment!
"Dad, none of this is true. Please listen to my explanation..."
Angie panicked.
"The evidence speaks for itself. What else would you like to say? You must be dreaming if
you think I'd fall for your sweet nothings like Noah. Get the hell out of here now. The Grant
family will have nothing to do with you from now on, and we will never speak again!"
With his stern words and determined demeanor, Bruno gave the impression that he was
announcing a significant ruling.
Suzette was so terrified that she lost her balance and collapsed. She felt as though her
entire world had crumbled.
"Bruno, you can't banish Angie. How is she going to survive out there on her own?"
"If you're so worried about her, just leave with her. The Grant family can't have someone
like her! If these photos made it to me, they could certainly make it to others. Once she is
exiled, the Grant family will at least retain some semblance of dignity!"
"You can't send me away, Dad. I can explain everything. All of these are fake. The photos
have been doctored!"
Angie, aggrieved, crept to Bruno's feet and reached for the hem of his pants.
Naturally, she was unwilling to endure this kind of abuse and torture. Even though Bruno
was her father, she couldn't leave the Grant family yet.
She still wanted to marry into the Quincy family as the Grant family's daughter.
How would she be any different from the other girls if she was kicked out at this point?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt would be difficult for her to marry into the Quincy family if she lost her status!
Of course, staying with the Grants was only a brief respite. She wouldn't want anything to
do with this penniless Grant family when she finally became the lady of the house for the
Quincy family!
"Doctored? Do you think I'm as gullible as a child? Get out! Get out!"
Unceremoniously kicking Angie's hand away, Bruno acted as though her touching him had
made him dirty.
Angie still wanted to say something, but Bruno completely ignored her and summoned the
butler.
"Kingsley, call the media immediately and tell them that the Grant family is cutting all ties
with Angie."
"Sir, this..."
"Go!"
"Yes, sir. I'll get to it right away!"
"No, Bruno. You can't do this. Angie has recently joined the Charity Association. You can't
exile her right now. She is, after all, your biological daughter! Furthermore, our plan will go
into effect in two days. It's only two days! There's still a possibility that Noah is unaware of
it!"
"By that time, it will be too late to make any changes, and once Angie is expecting a
Quincy, Noah will support her no matter what!"
Suzette thought there might still be hope after seeing that Bruno did not argue. She was
getting more and more excited as she spoke.
The moment Bruno slapped her across the face, stars flashed in her eyes, and the corners
of her mouth tore as she daydreamed of life as the mother-in-law of a wealthy son-in-law.
"My daughter is the way she is today because you are such an unrefined mother. It is true
what they say! Like mother, like daughter!"
"Bruno, I…"
"Suzette, you are no longer Mrs. Grant as of today. Take your daughter with you and leave
Grant's residence right away. Don't try to force my hand!"
