Chapter 37 Watch Your Behavior

Everyone in the car could hear the man yelling through the phone. Feeling utterly embarrassed by what was going on, Michaela’s eyes reddened as she tried her best to hold back her tears.

Unaware of the awkward situation his daughter was currently in, Jacob carried on bellowing furiously, “Michaela, when will you stop messing around? Are you only going to stop when our Lingard family is completely ruined? I can’t believe you’re already so evil at such a young age! No wonder you agreed to it so readily that day. Only now I know it’s because you wanted to sabotage your sister. How would you benefit from that? You are such an ungrateful wretch! Come back immediately!”

The man was so angry that he had almost fainted when he saw the article that had gone viral on the internet.

That was especially so when he saw the blood on Lucille’s forehead. Jacob had also believed his younger daughter’s words and was furious that Michaela had almost caused him to lose his trump card. In fact, that was what he feared most.

As such, he rang Michaela immediately, lashing out at her.

 

Unbeknown to him, Jonathan, who was right next to the woman, had heard everything he said.

When Michaela noticed Jonathan’s expression becoming darker, she quickly switched her phone to the other side of her ear and tried to lower her voice.

 

However, before she could complete her series of actions, the man had already reached out and snatched her phone away.

With a frosty expression, Jonathan said coldly, “As her father, not only did you not comfort your daughter after she was being bullied, you’re scolding her instead? How can you simply believe anything anyone says blindly? If someone tells you that your daughter is a murderer, are you going to believe that as well? If you can’t even differentiate truth from lies and right from wrong, you’re not fit to be a father.”

Jonathan had been tolerating Jacob’s behavior for quite a while, but at that moment, he could not stand it any longer.

While he was talking, the man did not notice that tears had already welled up in Michaela’s eyes and were about to fall any moment.

As compared to Lucille and Jacob, Jonathan was merely an outsider to Michaela. However, he was the one standing by her side, showing her care and concern.

The biggest joke was that her so-called family was the one hurting her instead.

Perhaps it was because Jonathan had lowered his voice, Michaela did not hear anything that he said subsequently.
