Chapter 91: Learning to Live with It
Elizabeth sneered, “It’s not that she didn’t do a good job, it’s that your family doesn’t deserve the Andrews Family, and you all should know in your hearts that if it wasn’t for the fact that she saved Edward’s life, how could she and Nick have this possibility?”
Cynthia, who had always been argumentative, didn’t dare retort a word more when confronted by Elizabeth but was only annoyed that Victoria was incapable of winning Nick’s heart before she and Daniel were humiliated along with her.
Elizabeth glanced at Victoria and realized that Victoria was still in the same unconcerned stance, and became even more enraged.
“This contract stipulates that you’ll have to get a divorce after a year, and even if Nick has something with you, you’ll have to take the pill, your family has no business giving Nick children, and I don’t want my grandchildren to come from a snobbish family.”
That was a serious statement, and Victoria’s eyes crossed sharply.
“Mrs. Andrews, I didn’t want to argue with you too much before because you are the elder. I have been married here for three years and I consider myself absolutely transparent in your house and have not had any entanglements with Nick, you have humiliated me a few times and I have ignored it, but today even calling my father to come here, would it not be a bit too much, and not all of us want to have a child for your family. ”
Elizabeth didn’t know why, but from the moment she saw Gummy this morning, she just couldn’t help but feel angry, probably because the dog reminded her of something bad.
Her oldest son had a dog back in the day, the same breed as Gummy.
But as anyone knew, her oldest son died six years ago.
She closed her eyes, Nick was all she had now and she was certainly very unhappy that Edward had bound Nick to such a woman.
“Victoria, if you think I’m talking tough, then tell your dad not to rely on Andrews Enterprise to tide over the second round of financing, since you’ve accepted Andrews Enterprise’s charity, you have to learn to put up with it. I’m just stating the facts, does your family think it’s because I’m deliberately trying to humiliate you?” Her tone was light, and she took her own bag by the side.
“Edward’s flight is at six tonight, don’t forget to pick him up. Nick will be there then, and remember to bring me this contract once you’ve signed it.” With those words, Elizabeth strutted away.
And these were words that Victoria couldn’t refute.
Because it was a fact that her family had to rely on Andrews Enterprise to get through the second round of funding, there was nothing to be said about being looked down upon by others.
Daniel seemed terribly insulted, and after a few gasps, he covered his chest, his face white.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
“Dad?”
Victoria was startled, but Daniel closed his eyes and tried to quell the pain.
His breathing became rapid, Cynthia couldn’t care about blaming Victoria at the moment, if something happened to Daniel at this time, her son hadn’t even gotten a foothold in the company yet, and now everyone would surely think that the company was Victoria’s, not hers as a stepmother.
Not to mention the fact that she only held ten percent of the stock in her hands, and was still far from having a say in the matter.
They rushed to call an ambulance and took Daniel to the hospital.
All the way there Daniel seemed to be struggling to speak, but ended up saying nothing but sighing deeply.
Victoria’s chest was also a little hard, and she raised a hand to rub her brow.
Arriving at the hospital, Daniel was quickly wheeled into the resuscitation room, he had gotten worse over the years and was also so angry with Victoria that he passed out last time.
Elizabeth’s words today clearly poked him in the gut.
Victoria and Cynthia sat in the hallway and watched the lights come on in the resuscitation room.
Cynthia grunted, “If you were capable of getting Nick’s love, why would Elizabeth have to come and humiliate me and your father. He is in this state because of you.”
The more Cynthia thought about it, the more angry she got. Especially after the last time she bought a villa for Gavin and was bumped into Victoria. Daniel seemed to really feel sorry for this daughter, so he hired a lawyer overnight, intending to give Victoria twenty percent of the shares in his hand as a kind of compensation for this daughter.
Of course she didn’t agree and stopped before Daniel agreed to wait a while before giving it to Victoria.
That was twenty percent, fully double what she had in her hand!
With the size of the company now, these stocks were not enough to make her comfortable. If she didn’t get the company, what would she do in the future?
“If you want Nick’s favor so badly, you might as well push out your own daughter.”
“You! Do you think I don’t want to? If it wasn’t for Linda’s poor health, how could it be your turn? It’s such a waste to be so good looking!”
Victoria closed her eyes and didn’t retort or think about anything else.
All she could do at the moment was pray that nothing happened to her father.
