Chapter 3

Brian made her apologize to Winnie!

Was this really her father?

At that moment, only Lily and I could truly understand each other's feelings.

Only the person who wronged you knew how deeply you'd been wronged.

Seeing Lily's stubborn temper, Brian raised his hand to hit her again.

Our colleagues nearby quickly stepped in to stop him.

"Mr. Mason, this is an issue between adults; there's no need to involve the child."

"Exactly! If it really can't be resolved, you should just divorce your wife."

Everyone in the company knew that Brian liked Winnie and that our divorce was inevitable.

They were openly suggesting Brian get a divorce just to please him.

Brian didn't want to make a further scene and solemnly said to Lily, "Lily, this is the last time, Aunt Winnie and I are just playing a game.

"Your mother is so dumb. If I had a heart attack, wouldn't I go to the hospital?

"She's just moved by her own emotions.

"No, she's purposely coming to the company to check up on me, always suspicious!"

I couldn't believe these words were coming from Brian.

I was dumb.

I was moved by my own emotions.

I went to the company to check on him.

I must have been blind back then to fall for his sweet talk.

"Shut up! I won't let you insult my mom like this!" Lily couldn't take it anymore.

"Brian, my mom was torn apart by a truck while delivering medicine to you. Come with me now to see her one last time.

"After that, you'll no longer be my father!"

"Your mom told you to say this, right?

"Tell her to die sooner and stop bothering me!"

Brian had completely lost his patience, or maybe he had never had any patience for my affairs.

I was also shocked.

The first thing he thought upon hearing news of my death was that I was playing a trick on him.

He thought I was lying.

It seemed like he didn't care about my life or death at all.

The other colleagues chimed in.

"This time, she's really gone too far. We just closed a big deal and were celebrating, but she had to ruin everyone's mood."

"They say behind every successful man, there's a woman, but it seems like the woman behind Mr. Mason isn't his wife."

"Having a child cause such a scene is indeed over the top."

From their words, it was clear they credited Winnie for closing the deal.

I had become the person holding Brian back.

Lily didn't expect her father to say such things either.

Soon, my body would be sent for cremation.

By then, Brian wouldn't even get to see me one last time.

She was so anxious that tears almost fell from her eyes.

"This isn't something my mom told me to say. She's really in the hospital, I'm not joking with you.

"Dad, why don't you believe me?

"Dad, come see mom one last time. If you wait any longer, you won't even see her body."

At that moment, only I knew how wronged Lily felt.

Brian didn't believe it at all and dragged my daughter out of the company.

"Your mom just called me dozens of times. She's alive and well. There's no way something happened to her.

"If it were your mom instead of you, I would have kicked her already."

I knew he would do it.
