Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher)

Chapter 35

Angeline intentionally recorded the conversation. After controlling her emotions, she calmly spoke.

“You’re truly shameless to say such things. My mom originally had a happy family, but you people abducted her to Emmerson Village. You didn’t give her clothes, fed her only once a day, chained her up in the cellar, and beat and scolded he

“You had even broken her leg. Do you take this as treating her well? She was brought to your house at the age of 16 and started having children after that. You people would abandon the baby if she gave birth to a girl.”

After taking a deep breath, Angeline continued, “She gave birth to eight children in 11 years and died alongside the ninth child on the operating table. Is this what you mean by treating her well? Would you say the same if

you were treated this way?”

Infuriated by her words, Juliet reflexively attempted to crush her with the most vulgar words possible.

“Y–You filthy slut! As a woman, you’re going to a place full of men and staying in one room with them. You claim to be attending classes, but behind closed doors, it’s all prostitution and whoring around. All of you are dirty wh

Angeline raised her eyebrows slightly. Pretending to be angry, she raised her voice. “Oceanford College is a top

-tier college. It’s a sacred place that has nurtured countless talents for the country. Don’t use your filthy

thoughts to judge Oceanford College’s students!”

Hearing Angeline desperately defend herself, Juliet thought she had struck a nerve and continued attacking

her with the most offensive words.

“Bah! A top–tier college? Women from there are all sluts who have slept with countless men! Who knows if

they can even bear children in the future? And you call it a top–tier college?”

“Mom, give me the phone.” Benjamin’s aunt, Katie Emmerson, snatched the phone from Juliet, who was

speaking harshly.

As usual, she began to play the hero. “Jodie, don’t blame your grandma for getting angry. We’re family, after all.

“Anyway, you’re already 25, but you want to spend money to attend college instead of getting married? Your dad asked you to get the tuition fee back for your own good. Colleges are just money–making scams.

“A woman should get married while she’s still young so that she can receive more wedding gifts. Those can

be sold for money and can be used to support Benjamin when he gets married. Isn’t that great? You’re contributing to the family. After all, he’s the backb

Angeline interrupted Katie, “Since young, have you ever paid a cent for my education? Why would you have the

nerve to ask me to give you the tuition fee? I’d never been to school before ten years old. Ever since I could remember, I’d been mistreated and had endless chores to do!

“When I was ten, you wanted to punish me because I escaped with my mom and Anne. You only let me go because Anne managed to give you 20 thousand dollars. Did you visit me once when I had an accident four

years ago?”

After a pause, she continued, “Oh, right, you did visit me once. I was in a coma for over a year, and you

somehow found out I became a vegetable. You went to the hospital to see if I was dead. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“You plotted to remove my oxygen tube and extort money from the hospital when I die. And now you’re telling

me we’re family?”

“Jodie, you-” Katie sighed. “Why didn’t you mention that we spent 30 thousand to get your mom? You let her

go and caused your dad to be imprisoned. That York lady wanted you. Giving us 20 thousand dollars in

compensation wasn’t too much.

“And if we hadn’t given you away back then, could you have the good life you have now? Your dad raised you,

after all. If you were to die, the money we asked from the hospital could be considered his retirement money. Besides, you’re fine now, aren’t you?”
