The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 665 What If We Use Force Again

Lynette held back her tears and looked directly at her father, Maverick, the once- authoritative village head.

"Father, the three of us have agreed. If you want money, we'll give it to you. But it comes with one condition-we cut ties completely.

"We don't even want to argue anymore about how you treat your children differently. We only know one thing-demanding 30,000 dollars from Natalie and even asking her to find wives for your sons is completely unreasonable."

Lynette gritted her teeth and spoke slowly and clearly. "Your own daughter wants to go to school, and you expect someone else to pay for it?"

"Natalie owes us nothing. Why should she be threatened by you? We are daughters of Ashford Vale. We had no choice in our birth, but if we did, we'd never have chosen to be born here. And we'd never choose to be the daughters of parents like you, who only value sons."

She wiped her eyes. But no matter how hard she tried, the tears still slipped out.

"We didn't get a say in any of this. You brought us into the world and raised us. Now, you want 10,000 dollars for each of our futures? Fine. We'll give it to you. Consider it repayment for everything you've done. But the rest-including getting brides for your sons-that's not our responsibility.

"That's your duty as parents, not ours as daughters. We're all your children, so why should the son get to suck the life out of the daughter?

"Father, Ms. Natalie is here to witness this, as are all the teachers. The three of us are saying this clearly. Take the money and sign the severance agreement. From now on, we are no longer your daughters."

"In your dreams!" Maverick slammed the table again, trembling with rage. "Well done, Lynette Zanders. If I'd known you'd end up like this, I never would've let you go to school.

"Learn a few words, and now you think you're smarter than your father? You're dragging Sue and Ann into this too? What a fine daughter I raised! 10,000 dollars to buy your way out of the family? Never.

"You were born of and raised by me. If I say you stay in Ashford Vale, then you die in Ashford Vale. Sons bring pride to the family and take care of us when we're old. Daughters are just money pits.

"You think you can compare to your brothers?

"I'm your father. If I say you're to marry for the family's benefit, you do as told. If you resist, I'll beat you to death."

Natalie and Connie were used to hearing this. Taylor and his team had long become numb from rage.
