Chapter 654
Even Esme, who was disguised as Britney, had no words for this.
Was there any father in this world that would wish for his daughter to be defiled in such a way? And was so excited
that he wanted the whole world to know about it? There was no sorrow in his eyes… Not even a hint of concern!
In the past, she was thinking that she would have to support her parents in the future, seeing that she had to live
using Britney’s identity. However, all she could feel was disgust now. If it wasn’t because of the bigger picture, she
didn’t want to have anything to do with a man like this!
“Why aren’t you saying anything, Britney? I’m your dad! I won’t hurt you!” Mr. Thomas put his hand on Britney’s
shoulder.
“Don’t touch me!” Britney reflexively pushed Mr. Thomas away and hid behind Mrs. Thomas.
Mrs. Thomas cursed, “You sorry excuse of a father! How could you say something like that for your own benefit?!”
“Don’t you want my company to grow even bigger? All you know is partying and gambling. Only when the company
is doing great will it benefit you!”
“Even then, we can’t sell our daughter!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing the two of them fight, all Esme could feel was disgust as she turned around and left.
Very quickly, the two of them began to physically fight each other as their emotions got the better of them. It drew
the attention of the nurses and the family members from the patients next door. They only managed to pull them
apart after a lot of effort.
After Esme left the hospital, she wandered the streets aimlessly.
She didn’t bring her phone and had no money on her. In the end, she reached her previous home.
The mansion had been chained, and all the plants that were previously well taken care of had become weeds. How
desolate it had become.
Ever since she returned to the country, she had not visited her parents.
But no matter how incapable her parents were, they would never act like Britney’s father.
“Young miss?!”
A familiar call came from behind.
Esme managed her emotions before turning around.
“What young miss?”
“I’m so sorry for mistaking you for someone else. From the back, you look like the daughter of the household that I
used to work for.”
The middle-aged woman looked at Britney. She looked completely different and obviously wasn’t the young miss of
the Manning household.
Esme wasn’t feeling well inside, but she pretended to ask, “Where did they go?”
“They moved. I don’t know where exactly.” The middle-aged woman sighed. “You know the people from this
household?”
“I know someone called Esme Manning. You know her?”
“Of course, I do! She was the daughter of the household, but… She passed away already! You know about Maxwell
Corporation in Gryphon, right?”
The middle-aged woman chatted with Britney.
“Of course, I do.”
“Then you should know the young CEO of the corporation! He was originally paired up with
Esme, but her cousin snatched him away from her. It ended badly for her. I’ve worked as a caretaker for the
Manning household for years… When her cousin was younger, she looked like she was an honest girl. Who knew
she could be so vicious when she grew up!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEsme nodded. She agreed with what her previous caretaker had said.
“Esme had misjudged her… She must have hated her.”
“Of course, she does! She couldn’t take it, so she gambled her life away…” The middle-aged woman sighed. “She
was gone at such a young age. Mr. and Mrs. Manning couldn’t handle it. They lost their company and their home.
Nobody knows where they are now.
“Oh, right. You’re our young miss’s friend?”
Britney nodded. “That’s right. We were acquainted when we were overseas. She would visit the lab quite frequently
and is very close to someone that’s like a brother to me.”
“Oh, is that so? Who?”
“His surname is Hall. He’s her teacher and her friend.”
After chatting with the ex-caretaker for a while, Esme copied how Britney would politely say her farewell. She acted
like the girl next door.
Esme only stopped after she was very far away, until the caretaker was gone too.
She turned around and looked. She could still see the little mansion that was left in a sorry
state.
One day, she would take back everything that she had lost!
