“You yourself know how Brayden has always provided this family with projects!” Lydia continued, her voice colder.
“What more do you want?
But come on, dad! Can’t you see that a lot of things have changed?
These days, nobody sells off their daughter in marriage just to gain some dumb favor!”
“How dare you!” Jaylin raised his hand to hit again, fuming.
But Lydia leaned forward and glared into his eyes in defiance.

“Go on!” she shouted.
“Slap me! And kill me as well! Let’s see who regrets it in the end!”
“Alright, alright!” Jaylin stepped back, surprised.
“What a good daughter I have raised! Have you so suddenly lost your good manners that you dare defy me now?”
“Yes, I’ve lost them!” Lydia retorted, flinging her arms in the air.

Lydia turned to look at Henry, a sneer in her eyes.
“Talking about doing good for the family, what have you ever done, Henry? Do you think I don’t know why you are so interested in marrying me off? You lost tens of millions of dollars to gambling, didn’t you?”
Henry rose to his feet at once, his eyes red with rage.
“You idiot!” he cursed.
“I’m investing. I’m sure you don’t even know what that means.”
“Oh, wow, that’s some investment! I wonder who invests tens of millions of dollars and gets no return.”
“How dare you talk to your father and brother in such disrespectful manner!” Melissa said with frown.
