The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 755

Mom should have fought the lawsuit fairly and demanded more money from Otis and his wife.

Otis remained silent.

I continued, "Besides, Mom had a job in the beginning. After you two got married, she rarely asked you for money. Even later, when you made her a housewife, she still rarely asked you for anything. Most of what she spent came from her savings. "So when you say you've been good to me, can you be specific? In what way exactly have you been good to me?"

I felt that Mom and I had similar personalities-we were both fiercely independent.

Otis hesitated for a long time before finally forcing out a response. "I admit, when I was with your mom, I didn't treat her well. But without me, would you even exist? I'm your elder! Even if for no other reason, you should respect me because I gave you life."

I laughed coldly. "If Mom hadn't been with you, she would've been with someone else. I would've been born all the same. So no, you're not irreplaceable."

Otis stared at me for a long time before turning to Zane to complain, "Look at her! She doesn't even respect her father!"

Willow overheard this and was utterly confused. "Dad, if a father treats his daughter poorly, does the daughter still have to be filial?"
