The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 53 Let Her Hate Me

Amanda went back to the firm in a hurry because her deadbeat father had gone there, and he was causing a ruckus. What an embarrassment.

She stormed into the office. When Helean saw her, he stood up and approached her. “That old git’s your father? Damn, he’s bossy. Came and straight up told you to see him, or he wouldn’t

leave.”

“I know. I’ll handle this, Amanda was in no mood for small talk. She walked into her office and closed the door, then she hung a ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign on the door. She saw Dick sitting in her chair and rummaging through her drawers. “Don’t touch my stuff! Get out. Now!” Fury flared in her heart. She couldn’t believe the b*stard was brazen enough to come, not after that kidnapping

incident.

Dick stood up. “Don’t talk to me like that. I’m your father.”

“You don’t get to call yourself that, you scum. You tried to kidnap your own daughter, you piece of sh*t.” Amanda didn’t want to see this worm at all. It nauseated her.

Dick sneered. “I’m the one asking questions here. Why did you divorce Elias? After he busted you out, he took back all the money. The b*stards took Tanya and my son away. Of course, I’m here. You need to take responsibility for this.”

“Not my problem, honestly.”

“You’re going to leave them for dead? Please, I beg you. Just give me some money. I promise I won’t gamble again. I won’t come for you again, I swear. I’ll live my life with my family in peace.” He went on his knees and put on a pitiful look.

I don’t trust gamblers, especially deadbeats who’d throw away their dignity at the drop of a hat. “I don’t have any money, and even if I did, I wouldn’t give it to you. Now scram and don’t ever let me see you again.” She’d love to tear her father limb from limb. There was no way she would give him.
