Joe picked up the papers from the floor with trembling hands and read them sheet after sheet.

Mandy gripped the wheelchair handles so tightly that her knuckles turned white. She saw her daughter’s jerking shoulders and patted her.

The papers that Kelly had thrown were countless photocopied sets, so almost everyone there could get one to themselves. As they went through the DNA test report and the injury assessment reports, they threw despising and abhorring glances at Nelly and Joe.

“Hypocrites!”

“Despicable!”

Everyone hit the man who was down—Nelly and Joe stood rooted pathetically like they were tied to the gallows.

“Dad, you probably don’t know how Nelly has been bullying me all these years, huh?” Kelly asked shakily, “Hah, or did you know and give your silent permission for her to do it?”

“No, no!” Joe panicked. “Kelly, you’re my daughter too. Even though you’re sick, I’ve never thought of giving up on you, right?”

“Don’t touch my daughter!” Mandy pushed him away resentfully and pointed at him. “You aren’t worth being a father at all. You don’t even deserve to be a man!”

“Mandy!”

“Dad, don’t mind them!” Nelly supported him. “Hah, you want to defeat me with just these things? Dream on!

“If I, Nelly Tanner, is defeated so easily, then—”

“Then what?” A loud voice rang suddenly.

Nelly froze as she saw Linda walking over slowly. She did not look too good, but each step of hers was strong and firm.

Linda had her eyes on Nelly, the fire in them capable of burning a hole through the latter.

Cordelia hurried over to put an arm around her shoulder.

“I’m okay.” Linda smiled at her and looked at Nelly with a cold smirk. “I’d love to see how indestructible you are!”
