Chapter 581

“... You mean to take her abroad?”

"No."

Betty Eisenhower immediately stood up and said firmly. “The conditions and customs in a foreign

country are quite different. She is not even used to the food there. Why do you suddenly take her

abroad?”

She had been single for most of her life and looking after her niece. She couldn't let Mary tear

Christina away from her

Mrs. Dickens, who had been silent for a long time, also whispered, “Christina would not be used to

living abroad. The dry bread there can’t compare to Chinese cuisine...”

“She's my daughter.”

Mary looked gloomy. “I'll take care of her. It's none of your business.”

Mrs. Dickens felt aggrieved.

"... Get out of here.” Donald suppressed his fury and shouted.

He was reminded of the days in the past — when Mary was at home, the family never knew true

stability,

Mary never thought that not only was she not treated with courtesy, but she was being kicked out

like this. She immediately became angry too.

She said directly, “I'm her biological mother. I carried her for nine months and gave birth to her.

Donald, you are not her real father. I'm taking her to her biological father now. What's wrong with

that?”

"... And now that the Dickens family has suffered a decline, what's left for you to give her?”

Every word Mary said was degrading to Donald.

Donald's face darkened,

*Dont talk to my father like this.” Christina blurted out,

She looked suaight at the graceful and beautiful woman in front of her. This woman had made her

feel nothing but sange Now she toud Mary was also overtwearing

the mother's image But in fact, Mary hat never even

"Bere, they lived so you

can add is not your listin*

Mary spoke gently to her daughter, “The Dickens family doesn’t deserve you. They can't offer you a

better life. I'm taking you away for your own good.”

"You disappeared for 20 years, and now you suddenly popped up and wanted to take me away. Do

you think I will listen to you?” Christina was stubborn. She responded to persuasion but not to force.

Mary was shocked by Christina's attitude and immediately vented her anger. “Donald Dickens, what

did you say to my daughter?”

For as long as Mary could remember, her daughter had always listened to her.

With mixed feelings, Donald suddenly fell silent.

All these years, he had been blamed by his daughter, whereas in the 20 years that Mary had

disappeared, people always missed her.

“Mary, you can't do it.” Betty couldn't stand by.

“You and Donald have been badmouthing me a lot to Christina, haven't you?”

Mary couldn't bear anyone damaging her perfect image. She was infuriated. “What was wrong with

me? I just wanted to find Christina's biological father. Now I want to take her to live in ease and

comfort. What's wrong with that?”

“You want to tie me down with this ridiculous marriage.” She turned around and glanced at Donald

like a noble queen. “You don't deserve me. It's ridiculous that you wanted to have me all to

yourself... You did not maintain marital fidelity, either. I know you cheated on me with Connie.”

“We've been estranged for so long. I'm not as hypocritical as you guys, and I can't force myself to

live like this. I leh home to give you and Connie what you wanted. Not only haven't you thanked me

yet, but you've been blarning me all these years... You've been sowing discord among me and my

daughter. Donald Dickens, you are sharneless!”

Mary considered herself on the right side.

The people present did not make any refute,

Patrick peered at Mary. Her clothes and jewelry were fancy but in style

"Oud, are you angher

Christina noticed that Donald's face was suddenly pale She buried over and supported him

Donald held her hand tightly, and his body vemtled a the

Since he suffered a stroke, Donald had not been very strong. He had to take medicine to treat

hypertension.

When Betty saw this, she experienced a mixture of feelings.

She steeled herself and dragged Mary toward the door. “Go. No one wants you here.”

"What did you say?”

Mary couldn't believe it, as her sister had always been obedient to her. “You don’t get to kick me out

of this house. Betty, do you think of yourself as the hostess?"

"You've been gone for so many years. You abdicate all responsibility for your child and now you

suddenly come back. Take her to enjoy a life of ease and comfort?”

“Mary, I know you better than anyone else. You are intent on nothing but profit. You just want to

use Christina...”

“I don't think you'll ever change. If dad were still alive, he would definitely cut ties with you on the

spot.”

Betty stared at her beautiful sister. She was resolute.

She had always lived in the shadow of her sister. She admired and envied Mary, but now she

realized that Mary was actually a person of disreputable character.

Betty pushed Mary out of the house and slammed the door shut.

Outside the door, Mary, who had never been treated so rudely by anyone, lost her balance,

stumbled forward, and fell on the lawn in the yard.

Her glamorous makeup was smudged and her expensive clothes were disheveled. Looking as

awkward as they come, she screamed, “You're lunatics!”

The people inside ignored her.

Everyone was in a bad mood at the moment. Christina persuaded her father to go back to his room

to rest. She took his blood pressure and then gave him a hypotensive drug.

“I won't go with her. She added casually

Mary still treated her like a child. But she had grown up. How could she just go with someone who

had

abandoned her for more than 20 years?

Donald took the medicine. He didn't say anything. It seemed that Mary's appearance was a big blow

to him. His

Christina, your mother must have ulterior motives. You must not listen to her.”

Betty saw Christina coming out of Donald's room and immediately warned her.

Having grown up together, she knew her sister very well.

“Next time she comes looking for you, stay away from her, okay?”

Christina nodded.

Betty had brought Christina up, so she always listened to Betty.

"... I'm going to take her back to the Hopkins family.”

Hopkins walked over. His words surprised them.

“You mean, you're going to take my sister to your family?” Betty asked with a disapproving tone.

"Yes."

"Why? Didn't you hear what she said just now?”

"She wants to take Christina abroad. If so, we can never see Christina again. Mary disappeared for

twenty years. How can we contact Christina after she left with Mary? Maybe you can bear parting

with her, but we can't!”

Betty had affectionate feelings with her niece.

“I won't let that happen.”

Patrick always spoke to Betty with respect. He said slowly, “She came back from abroad alone. Of

course 1 should invite my mother-in-law to live in the Hopkins family.”

He'd give Mary a dose of her own medicine

I order to prevent her from secertly getting close to Christina it was better to take her home directly

and watch

her every move

Patrick also wanted to know where Mary had lived all these years
