The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 257

After Eddy was taken away, everyone felt a sudden surge of relief in the air.

Paula tried to stop the police car to save Eddy but was warned by the police for obstructing justice.

Helpless, she returned to plead with Baron. “Dad! Can you help Eddy? We can’t just let the police take him away!”

Baron looked at her without any expression. “If he has done something wrong, he should pay for it.”

He raised his eyes to meet Paula’s face and looked at her with a stern expression. “If you hadn’t stirred up trouble at home, Eddy wouldn’t have ended up like this. You reap what you sow.”

“But did I do this for myself?”

It seemed like Paula would never let up. “Vivienne has got something worth a billion, and I asked her to give it to our family. Was that wrong? It’s not just a hundred bucks, but a billion! How can a young girl handle such a big sum? What if she gets scammed?”

“I always look out for our family, but you all treat me like garbage.” Paula looked at Baron with a face etched in defiance and resentment. “Mom, Dad! Since childhood, you’ve always favored my older and younger brothers. You even favored my younger sister. But what about me? I’m your daughter, too. Why don’t you ever want to help me?”

“I’ve lost my daughter for so many years. I’ve been desperately searching for her for years. The Brooks family could have contacted the CK Intelligence Organization to help me find her, but you refused to spend the money. Scott’s daughter was found, while my daughter is still suffering!”

“Now, for the sake of the Brooks family, you’ve put my son at risk. Isn’t that too much?”

Baron frowned as his face began to darken..

Judith had had enough. “That’s enough! You’re beyond redemption! We all didn’t want your daughter to go missing, and over the years, you’ve always felt that we haven’t helped you find her. But do you know that your father has contacted CK multiple times, but they refused to take the case? We are not gods, Paula. We don’t have the power to do everything!”

“Even if we didn’t help you contact CK, your father posted a reward and sent people everywhere to look for her. We didn’t feel good about not finding her either. How can you blame us so confidently?”

“I’ve had enough of you, and your father has already said that from now on, without our consent, don’t you ever show your face here again!”

Paula sneered. “You just don’t want me around! Vivienne got my son in trouble, and I haven’t settled that account yet. Since you’re heart–set on favoritism, we’ll see how things end! I won’t let it go that easily!”
