Chapter 24

After speaking, I started walking again. However, Jack's furious voice soon rang out, "Stop right there!

"Look at yourself! You left without a word and didn't even greet anyone when you came home. Do you still consider me your father? What about Ivy?"

I calmly looked at Jack's stern face with a faint smile, "Whether I see you as my father depends on whether you see me as your daughter." "Father," I murmured the word, feeling that Jack didn't deserve the title at all.

"I've just spent five hours on a plane and am a bit tired. Father." I deliberately emphasized the word. "May I go upstairs to rest now?"

She then turned to me and said softly and kindly. "Eve, don't hold it against your dad. You haven't called us in the past few days, so he's been worried.

"It's okay now. Go upstairs and rest. I'll call you when dinner's ready."

Ivy's words were well-crafted, but I didn't argue with them. It wasn't the time to tear off their masks yet.

I wasn't surprised at all Otherwise, I wouldn't have waited here to record everything they said on my phone.

Back in my room, I took a shower and lay down to rest. That dream had left me feeling down.
