Chapter 443 – Severing Relationships
Watson’s eyes were filled with shock, how could he not have expected that his daughter, who had always been understanding and caring, would abandon him as her father for a man.
He had really raised a white-eyed wolf, and infinite sadness rose within his heart.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
“Ilya, you have to think clearly. For a man to not want the father who gave birth to you and raised you, is it really worth it?” Moren Howard saw the right time to open his mouth, he just wanted to provoke the conflict between this father and daughter.
It’s best to make Ilya lose Watson’s trust from now on, then he can go along with the trend, better cooperate with Watson, and make greater benefits for himself from it.
A middle-aged old man who suddenly lost his daughter must have been a not-so-small blow.
“Moren Howard, don’t you dare stir up trouble here. If it wasn’t for you, how would my relationship with dad have gotten so bad. How many more people do you have to drag down before you’re satisfied in order to fulfill your selfish desires.” Ilya accuses her opponent with sharp language.
“Enough!” It had to be said that Moren Howard’s words once again irritated Watson, who shouted angrily with a gloomy face.
“Ilya, I’ve given you the best of whatever for these twenty years. Daddy gave you everything, why did you end up leaving daddy and breaking his heart?”
“Daddy, Francesca Jones is the last person I want, can’t you make me whole for once?” Ilya’s voice choked, how sad it was for her to be in love without her parents’ blessing.
“I can’t fulfill you, if I do now, then I’m jeopardizing your whole life.” Watson was firm that her heart would not waver.
Having drifted through thick and thin for most of his life, in addition to all the benefits in the shopping mall, he also hoped that his daughter would be able to get the happiness that truly belonged to her.
Unfortunately, the person his daughter chose was the complete opposite of what he thought, which he could not accept no matter what.
“It seems that we are destined to come here today without being able to convince you, so we interrupt.” With those words Ilya wanted to leave this sad place, it was hard for him to face his father again.
A father who was in the company of such a devious and cunning man as Moren Howard.
Francesca Jones however, stood in her way, he had something else he wanted to inform Watson about.
“Uncle, I understand that you don’t want to give your daughter to me. I used to be an irresponsible man, but not anymore, I will be good to Ilya for the rest of my life. And I don’t ask you to believe me, you just have to watch me do it slowly.”
“And by the way, Moren Howard by your side is definitely not a good guy. The only reason why he is so currying favor with you is because he wants to get more benefits from you as a way to grow his own strength.”
“I hope you can pay more attention and not end up letting him count himself out.”
Francesca Jones finished her words and left this place with Ilya’s hand in her hand.
Watching the back of the two leaving, Watson suddenly couldn’t catch his breath, and his whole body slumped down on the sofa.
After finding a family doctor and taking medication, he was able to get some simple relief, but he was also lying on the bed with his eyes wide open and not speaking.
“Godfather, don’t think too much, Ilya she’ll come around and come back to you one day, after all blood is thicker than water.” Moren Howard persuaded from the sidelines.
“Yeah, don’t think too much godfather, Ilya she has you in her heart. She once told me how much you mean to her. Now she just can’t think straight for a while.” Elena Lawrence chimed in.
“You guys get out, I want to be quiet.” Watson refused their kind company, his tone seeming old, at this point he just wanted to be left alone for a while.
Moren Howard and Elena Lawrence looked at each other and left, closing the door behind them.
When Watson was left alone, he couldn’t help but remember when Ilya was born.
At that time, the husband and wife joyfully welcomed the child’s newborn, thinking that they would raise the child to be a little princess of an aristocratic family and give her all the best things.
It was also because of Ilya’s daughter’s existence that he fought more and more vigorously and went further and further down the road of the shopping mall.
Because he wants to do everything he can to give his child the best life possible, and now working with Moren Howard has that in mind.
Francesca Jones is someone he can’t look down on, and he has to use his family being strong to bolster Ilya’s future so that more good men will come forward to court Ilya.
But he didn’t realize that his good intentions were completely misinterpreted in Ilya’s eyes, and that he had become one of those petty people who tend to favor the others.
On the other hand, Ilya and Francesca Jones came out of the Nancy family villa in a gloomy mood.
A dark cloud hung over Ilya’s face, unable to dissipate for a moment.
The two had come out on foot and had not taken a special car.
Ilya wanted to take a couple of steps on her own, the scene of the argument with her father inside the house was constantly echoing in her mind, condensing into a lump of sadness.
In this way, she is officially disassociated from the Nancy family, and will no longer have anything to do with the Nancy family’s ups and downs, and will be able to be with Francesca Jones without any hindrance.
But she couldn’t be happy, she couldn’t lie to herself, she couldn’t comfort herself, it was her own biological father that she had just given up.
Before she came here, she was truly obsessed with the idea of being able to have both love and affection.
But the moment she saw her unsympathetic father being aggressive, she realized that it was all just a delusion on her part.
“Ilya, no matter what, you still have me, and I will always be by your side. Don’t be sad.” Francesca Jones held the other woman’s hand tightly as a way of informing her that she still had him.
“Francesca Jones, I just feel like it’s all coming so fast and I’m completely unprepared to be on the opposite side of my own father like this.”
“No I won’t, I won’t let you get on the wrong side of your uncle, none of this has anything to do with you. Whatever York Charlie and I and the others are going to do to Moren Howard, it’s just going to be a matter between the two of us, and it will never involve Uncle.”
Francesca Jones knew what Ilya was worried about and gave her these assurances, hoping to settle the other woman’s nerves.
“I know you’re good to me, but if my dad does get in the way of you guys going head to head with Moren Howard, there’s not much I can do to stop you from dealing with him when the time comes.”
Ilya didn’t want Francesca Jones to make things difficult for herself, she knew how difficult things really were these days.
“I know you don’t want to make things difficult for me, but for your sake, any difficulty is not difficult, it’s something I’m willing to do.”
Francesca Jones said this with sincerity and love in her eyes.
Ilya’s heavy heart was not eased a little by this, and she still fretted over the present predicament.
All the disputes were caused by Moren Howard, sometimes she even thought that once Moren Howard died, all their lives would return to the original peace.
Unfortunately, it was not easy to ask Moren Howard to die.
What’s more, she had promised Elena Lawrence that no matter what, she had to keep the last vestige of her life for Moren Howard and could not take his life.
This was the promise she made to Elena Lawrence, and she had to fulfill it to the end.
“Francesca Jones, are you going to kill Moren Howard?” She couldn’t help but ask as she thought about it.
Francesca Jones was shocked for a moment, as if he hadn’t expected Ilya to ask himself such a question at all.
But instead of asking his doubts, he seriously thought about what exactly he would do with this man, Moren Howard.
