Chapter 9: Just Want to Bleed Me Dry
"Why?"
Amy rubbed her hand and smiled, "If Nicholas hears it, have a guess, how will he deal with the Turner Family? Even if my husband is seriously ill, he's still a member of the Howard Family.Insulting him means insulting his whole family.Mia, I thought you should have learned a lesson from Miss Howard's slap, but you are still so stupid!"
Mia's face twisted in hatred and disgrace.
"Amy! You b*tch!"
As she made a move to fight back, Jack's voice came from behind her.
"Enough!"
Mia turned around and looked at her father in disbelief.
'I am being bullied by such a lowly girl.How could you ask me to stop?"
Jack forced a smile with a gloomy look.
"Amy, did you meet Nicholas?"
Nicholas was in a superlative position, and almost no one had met him.
The fact that Amy could meet him meant that she had her place in the Howard Family.
As long as he accepted her, Amy's identity as a member of the Howard Family would be useful.
Amy glanced at him coldly, not denying it.
Jack was ecstatic.
‘It seems that this girl has hooked up with Nicholas.
At the thought of this, Jack suddenly became kinder to Amy and stared at Mia.
"Amy, sit over here.I have something to tell you."
Mia cried in aggravation, and Mia's brother, lan, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't hold back his anger anymore.
"Dad, Mia was slapped by Amy! Why are you still kind to her?" lan couldn't help glancing at Amy.
He hadn't met Amy before.
He didn't expect this girl to have such a good appearance.
She was so attractive even if she didn't do anything.
She tickled his fancy and he gazed at the lady with yearning.
"What a shame that such a beautiful woman married an impotent man.Actually, I can offer a helping hand’’ lan was an uneducated bastard who had always had women around him.
When he got tired of a girl, he immediately looked for a new one.
To his surprise, he was fascinated by her immediately for Amy was the most beautiful one he had ever met.
"It was her fault." Jack was biased toward Amy.
Compared to the Howard Family, Whatever anguish his daughter suffered was nothing.
Myrna sat on the sofa in silence.
She had long known that profit was the most important thing for him.
He once loved Grace, but he could watch her being raped by others, only because her stunning beauty could be turned into money.
The indifferent man had always been taking advantage of her daughter just for his purpose, so Myrna had prepared well for her daughter.
If Amy had really met Nicholas, the slap was not a big deal.
"Mia, come here.’’ Myrna looked distressed for her.
Resentful as hell, Mia covered her face and walked over in aggravation.
Amy raised her eyebrows.
Sometimes she admired Myrna for her toughness.
"Since you know Nicholas, you should also know John.Do you remember what I said last time?"
Myrna rubbed Mia's head and said to Amy with a sneer.
As long as Mia married into the Howard Family, they would have something to fall back on.
She couldn't rely on her husband, or her son.
The Howard Family was the best option right now.
"John has been back from abroad.He always goes to Winsome Bar.’ Amy ruffled her hair.
That was what she had heard from Laura.
A hint of suspicion flashed across Myrna's eyes.
Her brows knitted.Amy has really been accepted by Nicholas?
"Keep me posted on John's whereabouts."
Myrna wanted to let Mia marry John, no matter what it cost!
"Well, Amy, I knew you could do it.You are born to be spoiled by men.Paul is a disabled man who is about to die.When he's gone, you can marry someone else, and I'll definitely find a good husband for you then." Jack was a little excited.
He hadn't held much hope for Amy.
Amy didn't like to hear anything bad about Paul.
After all, he was her nominal husband.
Jack never missed any opportunity to bleed her dry.
If Paul really died, she would definitely be thrown out.
The so-called good husband Jack mentioned must be those fatty old directors who were involved in business with the Turner Family.
Mia sneered, feeling more resentful.
Seeing his father's attitude towards Amy, she clenched her fists.
Suddenly, she noticed that lan had put something in the tea Amy was drinking and smiled wickedly.
lan was just a jerk.
With his identity, he had got many women over the years.
Jack had blamed him for his behaviors, but it didn't work.
So, he just left him alone.
lan was the most useless one in the Turner Family.
If it weren't because Jack had the only son, he would have banished him long ago.
They didn't share a wonderful meal.
Myrna had been asking Amy, trying to know the relationship between her and Nicholas, but she beat around the bush and avoided them skillfully.
"I've asked someone to take care of your grandmother.No one will disturb her.Later on, Mia will follow you back to visit the Howard Family-’ Myrna said casually, but the threat in her words was distinct.
Amy's hand holding the chopsticks stiffened.
She hid the coldness in her eyes.
"Mia and Laura just had a fought, and Laura said that she would beat her up once she saw her again.So if she really wants to make a fool of herself, I won't stop her.”
"Amy!"
Myrna slammed the bowl on the table.
In the tense atmosphere, no one but Mia noticed lan's secret movements.
"Mrs.Becker, that’s what Laura said.You know that Laura hated me.If I bring Mia over, you should know what will happen to her.If you can afford to lose face, I can take her back now.’ After hearing that, Myrna was so angry that she raised her hand and was about to slap her.
"Alright!"
Jack finally spoke, "Now that we know John's whereabouts, Mia could often go to Winsome Bar.There is no need for her to visit the Howard Family.’ Myrna's face paled.
"Now you're helping her.Are you still unable to forget Grace? Jack, don't forget that I was the one who accompanied you all these years.I know you still keep her photos! I just don't want to make too much of a scene.’
‘‘Can lose to anyone in my life except Grace!”
