Chapter 279



.

Rachel’s voice was so loud that everyone in the banquet room looked her way.

Justin had been paying attention to Nora’s situation, so he picked up on the discussion immediately and hurried over.

Nora had already narrowed her almond-shaped eyes. Her cold eyes were filled with anger. “What did you say?”

Although she had never experienced motherly love, her mother had given her life, and she would not allow anyone to insult her mother.

Rachel’s voice carried clearly throughout the room. “Why? She’s always been an impure person, why can’t she be scolded? By that time, everyone knew that she had betrayed Mr. Smith and eloped with someone else. I guess the other party didn’t love her anymore, right? That’s why she found such a money-loving person to be her scapegoat.”

“As the saying goes, if the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. Your mother was pregnant before she got married, and so were you. Didn’t she also have a daughter with an idiot? But you’re better than your mother. At least your scapegoat for being the spare tire is Mr. Hunt.”

“At the end of the day, you’re just an illegitimate daughter who doesn’t even know who her biological father is. You’re just like your daughter. Why, I’m afraid your daughter will be a beauty when she grows up too, won’t she? When the time comes, will she also have to find someone to get pregnant with before she gets married? I don’t know if there will be a good match like Mr. Hunt then.”

Nora clenched her hands into fists.

Her anger rose as she took a step forward, preparing to strike her.

In the distance, Justin had already arrived in front of her. His expression turned even more sour, and he looked like he wanted to kill someone.

gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s․com is where imagination thrives Before the two could make a move, however, Farrell had already rushed forward and slapped Rachel’s face. “Shut up!”

Rachel was stunned by this slap and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Miranda also lost it. She rushed forward and hugged Rachel. “Farrell, what are you doing?”

Farrell was furious. He pointed at her with shaking hands. “Step aside. I’m going to break your mouth today.”

There were two reasons he was so agitated.

First, he was really angry. He hadn’t expected his daughter to have reached this point by now. In this situation, she kept talking about Nora being an illegitimate daughter and Mr. Hunt being a spare tire. She was doing nothing but swearing and had walked the Woods’ image into the ground. Secondly, I could already see Mr. Hunt approaching with an angry expression. If he didn’t make a move, Mr. Hunt would probably make Rachel suffer even more.

Rachel had done something wrong. She was to be educated and beaten when necessary. However, she was still his daughter. He still wanted to give her an out.

That was why he had personally beaten her.

In fact, after he made his move, Nora and Justin stopped in their tracks and stayed away.

Unfortunately, the present Rachel didn’t understand his intentions at all. Instead, she covered her face and roared, “You hit me? You hit me because of her! Dad, tell me, what kind of bewitching potion did she give you to make you so protective of her? Is it because she’s beautiful?”

Farrell was already stunned.

He hadn’t expected his daughter to be so over the top with her words. How had he raised her all these years to speak such harpy words?

His hands were shaking. “You…your aunt has never said such ugly words in her life!”

Rachel sensed her anger and was so frightened that she dared not speak.

Miranda, however, was furious. “Your aunt, your aunt… Your heart is biased towards Melissa, isn’t it? In that case, why don’t you live with your sister? Why do you want to live with us! I’ve never seen such good siblings! Where is Melissa? Come out of there. I want to ask you what your relationship is with your brother. What kind of family are the Andersons?!”

Farrell: “!!!”

Melissa, who was rushing over, was speechless.

Melissa’s eyes were red with anger. He pointed at her with trembling hands and shouted, “Sister-in-law!!!”.

How could he slander her in public!

It had to be known that no one wanted to believe the truth. Everyone was willing to believe in scandalous subjects.

Even if she had a clear conscience, Miranda’s words would become a topic of conversation for everyone after meals!

She, Melissa, had always been noble and pure. Ever since her older sister-in-law had entered the family, she realized that Miranda hated her. Because of this, she rarely returned to her mother’s house. In the last twenty years, she had only seen Farrell a little more than twenty times.

Not to mention the intimacy, even the relationship between ordinary siblings wasn’t that bad.

When she was young, her mother used to say that when a girl got married, she would be homeless. At that time, she didn’t believe it, but later, she really did.

How did the sister-in-law come up with such a lie?

Farrell’s body swayed as he stared at Miranda and Rachel. That mother-daughter pair used to curry favor with him and flatter him, but he had never seen their ugly faces.

A moment ago, to save his daughter, he had risked offending Mr. Hunt. But now… he felt that everything that had just happened was ridiculous.

Indeed, the children were here to collect debts!

Farrell looked at Justin and clasped his hands together in apology. “Mr. Hunt, I’m sorry to have interrupted your birthday banquet. I’ll take the two of you first and visit you another day to apologize. I’m sure I’ll give you a satisfactory answer.”

Justin pursed his lips tightly.

Farrell was Melissa’s older brother, and Melissa was Nora’s Aunt. Nora had always been very respectful of this aunt.

Therefore, she couldn’t overdo it.

She nodded her head slightly. “Please do as you wish, Uncle Farrell. However, Miss Wood’s upbringing is really worrying. A kind father usually spoils his children. Uncle Farrell, you should understand this logic.”

Farrell nodded. “I understand. When we get back, I’ll send Rachel overseas and not let her come back.”

He would never let her come back…..

Rachel’s pupils constricted as she screamed, “Dad, you can’t do this to me. You can’t…”

Unfortunately, Farrell had already grabbed her by the hand and had called the Wood family bodyguards to drag her and Miranda away.

Rachel knew it was useless.

She was finished.

As they dragged her next to Nora, she laughed out loud. “Nora, aren’t you so proud to see me like this? But don’t forget. Even if I go abroad, I’m still the eldest daughter of the Woods. In contrast, you don’t even know who your biological father is. You’re just an illegitimate daughter! With your status, you’re not worthy of the Hunts at all! Without a powerful family to support you, you will be hated by the Hunts sooner or later and you will be divorced.”

At that moment, the whole room fell silent as her voice echoed in everyone’s ears.

Everyone looked at Nora.

Yes, she was from a small family. Could she really last long with Mr. Hunt?

At that moment, Ian, who had been sitting off to the side, said, “Who said she didn’t have a powerful family?”
