Chapter 14 Encounter Outside the Door
"Dad, those two illegitimate children were taken away by Marie, that girl."
She still had a forced smile on her face, fearing that she wouldn't stand a chance to live.
Marie?
A coldness appeared on Luis's face, "The White family? Since when did they start meddling in our affairs?"
Nicole forced a smile, "Dad, you're right. Those White family guys are trying to take advantage of the situation on us at this time. Otherwise, how dare they interfere in our family affairs?"
Bang!
Luis scolded, "Do you have the face to say that? Why has our family become like this? It's all because you gave birth to a disgusting daughter. She's truly the bad luck of our Harper family."
"Dad, I..." Nicole looked fearful, with a hint of gloom in her eyes. "Rest assured, no matter what, I won't let this unfilial daughter live comfortably."
In her heart, she had already disowned this daughter.
She even considered Leila as the shame of the entire Harper family.
Shame.
Nicole's appearance made the others in the scene feel relieved. They said, "Dad, actually, Nicole has been working hard. After all, who wouldn't want to discipline their daughter at this time?"
"Yeah, who wouldn't want to discipline their daughter at this time?"
"But I think, since Leila has made her choice tonight, even if she dies, she must be punished."
"And over these years, Dad, you've put a lot of effort into this girl."
...
The main and second branches began to mock and ridicule.
The Harper family was only this big, with limited resources. If they could drive Leila and her family out, they would have more resources for themselves.
They could do many things.
Otis's face darkened, and his iron fist clenched. He finally couldn't bear it, "Dad, rest assured, the reason Leila has become like this is partly because of me as her father."
"Regardless, I will give the family an explanation."
"I won't let the family suffer injustice for nothing."
He had come to a realization. Since Leila was not heeding advice, what use was there in letting her stay in the Harper family? None at all. It would be better to send her away, give all the resources she had to his son, and maybe he could have a chance to rise.
Naturally, it would be of no use.
Better to drive her away, and give everything Leila had to his son. Maybe he could still have a chance to rise.
Luis glanced at Otis, "Is this what you said?"
"Dad, don't worry. I've thought it through." Otis had to decide for the sake of his interests.
"Very well."
Luis nodded, reminding, "And those two bastards, I don't want any filthy blood of ours in the Harper family."
The crowd was stunned. Did this mean—
A death order?
Yes.
Luis's words already carried a murderous intent. He intended to completely kill Riley, Quinn, and even Leila and Walter.
Furious.
Truly furious.
At this moment, no one dared to speak. Luis's prestige in the Harper family was not something to be trifled with.
...
White family!
Riley stood at the door without saying a word. Quinn hugged her doll, approached Riley, and gently tugged at his clothes, "Brother, go in."
"Auntie Marie made something delicious for you."
Riley's small face showed a stubbornness not typical for his age, "I won't go. I'll wait here for Mom."
Decisive.
Quinn asked softly, "Brother, will Mom be okay, right?"
"She will be fine." Riley comforted, "You go in first. I'll wait a bit."
"No, I want to wait for Mom with you, and Dad too." Quinn's face showed a layer of anticipation, "Dad said he'd be back tonight."
"Sister."
Riley turned around seriously, "We don't have a dad."
In Riley's expression, there was decisiveness.
"But, Brother..." Quinn's words were interrupted by Riley, "If we had a dad, why did he abandon us? Why didn't he show up when Mom was bullied for so many years?"
"Why didn't he show up when we were mocked at school?"
"Why didn't he show up when you were hospitalized?"
"So, we feel like we don't have a dad. Our dad is gone."
A painful feeling appeared in Riley's eyes.
From the depths of his soul.
He wasn't immune to the pain.
In secret!
Marie White heard their conversation completely. She sighed lightly, "Riley really bears a grudge against his dad deep in his bones."
"But..."
Marie glanced at the little girl, "This little girl has been saying tonight that her dad is coming back. Is it true, or has she been deceived?"
"And..."
Marie thought of Leila's instructions over the phone, and a bad feeling surged in her heart, "Silly girl, don't mess around. Don't think you can change anything by doing so."
"You still can't change anything."
"Even if you're just making these two kids miserable."
Marie naturally understood what kind of person Leila was.
Strong!
If it weren't for these two kids, how could Leila have persisted until today?
Just as Marie thought this, a business car suddenly stopped at the entrance. Marie's heart trembled, "Could something have happened?"
At the entrance.
Walter also froze for a moment, staring dumbfoundedly at the two children in front of him. He felt a different kind of emotion in his heart, "Are these my children?"
