Chapter 4

Author: Dream Searcher

Edward remained silent, so Cameron intervened, raising her voice, “You got that right! Your sister deserves to inherit your things because she’s your family. Just think of it as a wedding gift from you to her.”

I smiled sweetly and replied, “Wait! There’s one more thing to add to this gift!”

“Oh yeah?”

“That’s right. A nice, expensive coffin in the middle of the altar too!” I chirped.

Her face turned blue. “You bitch!”

“Come on, it’s a pragmatic gift. She’s going to need it pretty soon anyway! I’m just giving it to her in advance so you guys don’t have to spend money on it someday.”

They scowled at me but couldn’t say anything. It was just like how I had gotten away with the sparkler candle incident before. They couldn’t do anything to me.

None of these people had stood up for me when I was bullied all these years, so it was high time I made them suffer my worst!

Cameron pointed at the door in a rage. “Get the hell out of here!”

She pointed at my dipshit father too. “Are you going to do anything about this? This girl you made with that other woman has been insulting and cursing my daughter since she showed up, and you’re not going to do anything about it?!”

Harry stormed toward me before Cameron had even finished.

Edward tensed and stepped in his way.

“Mr. Jones, let’s not go there,” he warned.

Harry’s path was blocked, but he still managed to point his finger at me. “Apologize to your sister now!”

There was no way I would agree to that!

“Did I say anything wrong? I was being pragma—”

He suddenly raised his hand and swung toward my cheek.

Edward stepped in front of me and took the blow on his head.

Maddison cried out, “Dad!”

Edward blinked, as though reeling from the impact, but still didn’t step away. “Physical violence won’t solve anything, Mr. Jones.

“No matter how you look at it, a lot of this was my fault for not calming Taylor down. Give me time—I’ll fix this.”

Harry’s face was already red from both rage and exertion. He was sick with several diseases, including diabetes. Frankly, all this emotional arousal was not doing him any good. He was practically panting.

“You… Go talk to her… If she’s still acting this way… I’ll break her bones!” he threatened between breaths.

Edward nodded, looked at me, and said quietly, “Let’s go somewhere else to talk.”

“No! I’m not interested in talking to you!”
