My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Before I could leave, Valerie stood in front of me, and she didn't seem happy, "Miss Reid, take this with you. You're still young, so there are plenty of opportunities for you to get pregnant in the future. Consider this, we accept you as our goddaughter wholeheartedly and provide you a future as bright as Andrea's. You only have to give up Hendrix, and you can get several times more than what you own now. I know that you are angry, but I still hope that you would at least reconsider."

I wish I could laugh out loud. Looking at the bank card Valerie had put in my hand, I narrowed my eyes at her. "Madam Lawson, I have always thought that you are someone who had experienced it all, who understood how to deal with the world, and was someone with a good conscience. However, at this very moment, you are just another ordinary woman to me. I wouldn't even want to be your biological daughter, let alone your god-daughter. We're better off without each other."

Valerie wanted to say something, but I pushed her away. People like her disgust me. They appeared to be kind and harmless, calling themselves businesspeople, and brazenly received praises and respect from other people.

However, they couldn't hide their dirty nature, no matter what.

Valerie lost her balance and fell to the ground. I stared coldly at Pedro, who rushed to help her up and said flatly, "I'm sorry, but I didn't mean it."

"That was rude of you, Miss Reid. Since you aren't fond of our peaceful talk. We will approach you again in a different way. I just hope that by then, you won't think that our means are cruel." Pedro said while glaring at me hostilely.

"I'll wait and see," I said as I turned around to leave. The encounter had made me feel even more grateful towards my grandmother. Although she was poor, she still lived an upstanding life, which had given me a breath of fresh air in that corrupted world.
