The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 700

I couldn't help but laugh when I recalled how arrogant my scumbag dad had been.

Even after the divorce, he still thought my mom would be afraid of him. He still believed that whatever he said, my mom would listen. He assumed she'd panic when he mentioned the company's losses.

I had no idea where he got that kind of confidence. I said, "My mom responded that she didn't do anything. He could sue her if he wanted to."

The scumbag knew full well that everything my mom exposed was true. Upon seeing that neither threats nor persuasion worked on her, he turned to me as leverage.

He told my mom, "Aren't you afraid I'll stop supporting our daughter?"

My mom replied, "You never supported her when she was little. You even tried to cut off all our means of survival. And now you're using child support to threaten me?

"Are you joking? Do you think I'd be scared of you? If I were you, I'd leave immediately. Just looking at you ruins my day!"
