Chapter 695: Chapter 695

Chapter 695:

“You claimed we ignored you, all while acting like the perfect child in our presence. You played the victim while manipulating everyone around you.”

“And you feel no guilt?”

Lindsay opened her mouth, wanting to argue, but faltered under Belen’s icy glare.

“I didn’t mean for it to go this far… I just… I didn’t…”

Wilton’s expression hardened, his voice detached as he said, “Excuses won’t save you now. It’s time for reform behind bars. The Morgan family will welcome you back if you truly change, but continue down this path, and we must cast you out.”

Lindsay recoiled in fear at her father’s stern words.

“No! Dad, I’m your daughter! How can you just abandon me?”

“Why not?” Wilton countered, his eyes cold and unwelcoming as he stared down at her.

“You dismiss everything your mother and I have taught you. You choose not to love us, so why should we continue to love you as our daughter?”

Lindsay’s eyes, red and swollen, widened in fear as she faced her father, who showed no sign of love.

“I do love you. I really do! It’s just that…” Her voice trailed off, unable to articulate why she had become so monstrously cruel.

Belen intervened, catching Wilton’s arm as his anger surged. She shook her head gently.

“Enough. There’s no point in talking to her now. She’s not listening. I’m exhausted. Let’s just go home.”

Wilton’s anger eased, and he nodded slowly.

He firmly took Belen’s hand, and they walked away together.

As they left, they seemed to age a decade in those few moments.

Despair filled Lindsay as she watched them go. What could be more painful than being rejected and scorned by her own parents? She cherished her parents more than anyone else. Why then, did they question her love? Why?

Overcome with emotion, Lindsay began to yell, blaming everyone around her for her plight, yet failing to see her own faults.

However, her audience had dwindled to just the indifferent officers who were ready to lock her away.

Back at the Gill family home, ever since Rhys had sown discord between the Juarez and Gill families, the tension between Elvin and Liam had escalated.

Before Rhys interfered, there had been at least a pretense of partnership between Elvin and Liam, but now, their relationship was on the verge of completely falling apart.

At any given time, their alliance was on the brink of shattering into bitter enmity.

Elvin accepted Liam’s invitation to discuss strategies for maintaining public pressure at Liam’s residence.

However, their conversation quickly devolved into a critique of each other’s shortcomings.

As they debated who maintained a closer connection with Rhys, Elvin’s temper flared, and he pounded his fist on the table.

“Let’s talk about relationships, shall we? Mr. Green’s upcoming marriage to Harlee makes me his future uncle! What significance do you, a man who merely threw in some money raising Harlee, hold in comparison?”
