Contract Marriage With The Disabled CEO Chapter 156
Chapter 156
Chapter 156 Ungrateful
Roger and Daisy brought about things in the
past.
The so-called little grace they had shown her was leveraged to induce guilt in her.
“I gave you a high-grade skirt when you were a child. Emily had only worn it for one month, and it was pretty new. Also, there was a time when someone presented crabs, I gave you two of them. Don’t you remember? We’ve been so nice to you. How could you be so cruel!” Daisy said.
A skirt? Betty did remember it. She gave it to her because Emily found it ugly. As for the crabs, they were about to go bad. After having them, she had diarrhea for several
days.
This was their so-called kindness, and they demanded payback.
“I regret wearing that dress, eating your
crabs, and being a member of this family.
Say no more. It’s pointless. Will you leave my
mother and me alone once I pay you back?” Betty said.
In Daisy’s view, that would be too easy on
them.
Betty felt bitter as she remembered something from her childhood.
Her mother and she were dependent on each other. Sherry worked several jobs and often stayed up late.
Sherry went out early and came home late.
Too busy to look after her, her mother left her in the care of Roger’s family.
Her mother told her to behave in the
Watson’s house.
Feeling sorry for her, Sherry didn’t let her do
much housework.
Daisy, however, assigned other work to the nanny and forced Betty to wash the dishes, clean the floor, tidy the rooms, and mow the garden. It was torture, but little Betty was sensible enough to endure it.
At night, she would cry under the covers. Betty didn’t tell her mother for fear of distracting her.
Back then, Roger was very busy, but Daisy
often went on tours with Emily. Betty
followed them.
In Sherry’s mind, that would be beneficial to Betty. She could have fun and gain
knowledge. It was better than laboring with her, so she was in favor of Betty going with
them.
“I can’t give you much. We have to depend on the Watson family. It’s not that I don’t have a sense of dignity. I just don’t want your to be ignorant like me. I hope you’ll achieve something and live on your hump one day,”
Sherry told her.
So, Betty had been tenacious since her childhood. She might look weak. Deep down, she was adamant and self-dependent.
Sherry didn’t know how pretentious Daisy was. She took Betty with them but forbade her to have fun.
After buying ice cream for Emily, Daisy
ordered, “Betty, go and get the umbrella out
of the bag. Hold the umbrella for Emily. The sun is scorching.”
Betty was reluctant.
Daisy added, “No girls are like you. Your sister is feeling hot, and you wouldn’t hold the umbrella for her. What a little hussy!”
Betty was scolded. Every time, she followed them like a servant, sat there alone, and watched as they were having a good time.
Daisy rattled on, bringing her back to reality.
“What are you talking about? We’ve been kind enough to you, and you repay us in this way? That’s ungrateful of you! Also, we paid for your college education! Without us, you
wouldn’t have made this far. It’s terrible to
bite the hand that feeds you.”
“Betty, be sensible. Do you want to watch the
Watson family collapse and me jump off the
building?” Roger chimed in.
Betty regretted accepting their financial
support. They sounded like only an ingrate would refuse to see them through the crisis.
Betty was perplexed, but the room quieted
down. Daisy and the others were gawking past her shoulder.
She turned around, only to see Kerwin coming in.
Although he was in a wheelchair, his aura remained strong. It was a signature of his
status.
On any occasion, Kerwin was a compelling
presence.
He looked around and saw Betty’s red eyes.
Daisy and Roger exchanged looks. They tried to say something, but the awful air about
Kerwin daunted them.
“Mr… Mr. Martin? Please come in and take a
seat,” Roger stammered.
Daisy, a social butterfly, grinned. “Mr.
Martin, welcome to our place and feel at
home. We were just chatting with Betty,
hehe…”
Kerwin came to the Watson’s house in
person.
Roger didn’t know the aim of his visit. Is he
going to acquire my company or talk about a deal?
As Roger looked at Kerwin in silence, Daisy nudged him.
Roger came to his senses and said, “Oh, yeah, we were talking about Betty’s
childhood. She was a troublemaker when she
was little. Then again, I am her father…”
Kerwin cut him off.
“I’ve heard everything.”
Daisy and Roger were both struck dumb.
They could feel the coldness and hostility in
his voice.
What did he hear?
So, Kerwin came to protect Betty rather than
negotiate a deal.
Roger cringed and said, “In that case, I’ll call a spade a spade. Mr. Martin, we hope you’ll go easy on us. I heard that Betty and you are married. That makes you my son. When
you’re free, welcome to our house and have
dinner with us.”
With feigned ease, Daisy laughed and echoed, “Yeah, that’s right! We’re family. Hah, Betty, congratulations on finding such a good
husband!”
Kerwin heard it from outside when they were scolding Betty, and now they put on
obsequious faces, which made him sick.
He came in to stop them from accusing Betty
rather than talk about kinship.
No one was allowed to give his woman a hard
time.
Betty noticed his anger and stopped him in a low voice. “Kerwin, don’t.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
