Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 17 17: Serious problem

Tiffany was happily idly passing the time dreaming of Gabriel when she was startled out of her reverie by a sudden knock on the door of her bedroom.

"You witch! What the hell are you doing inside? Come out and clean up this mess you have created!" Jacob yelled from outside and continued to bang on the door until she opened it.

"What is wrong, Dad?" Tiffany said, gritting through her teeth. She detested this so-called father of hers, but she also knew that if she persisted in her disobedience, Jacob would eventually beat the shit out of her.

Gazing through Tiffany's angry eyes, Jacob glared at her and yelled, "What kind of girl are you? Don't you know how to keep the house clean? Where the hell have you lost my lottery ticket?!"

Tiffany scowled at Jacob's irrational outburst. She realized her father wasn't intoxicated and sober enough to slap her if she answered him back rudely.

"What lottery ticket are you talking about?" Tiffany inquired, trying to sound as normal as possible.

Jacob had stolen some cash from Susan's wallet and was getting agitated trying to locate the ticket he had bought. But what frustrated him more was Tiffany's innocence.

He remembered that he had the ticket in his jeans pocket the other night before he got home drunk, but when he woke up this morning, he could not find it. Ever since, he has been searching every nook and cranny of the house for it.

Refusing to put up with Tiffany's ignorance, Jacob grabbed her hair, dragged her from her room into the living room, and shoved her to the bed.

"I am aware that it is your responsibility to keep the house clean. Search for my belongings before I beat the living daylights out of you, or else you and your mother will be reduced to nothing," Jacob yelled, kicking the stool that was lying on the ground and running out of the house.
