My Husband Bullies Our Daughter to Please His Sweetheart

I went to the police station alone to handle Ellie's car accident. I saw on the surveillance footage that she was walking in the rain without an umbrella. She was crying and wandering aimlessly without looking up. She eventually ran a red light and was hit by a speeding car.

Usually, Ellie was very cheerful and had just achieved the top score.

Why was she crying?

Why did she go out in the rain?

None of this made sense.

I returned home with doubts. I checked the surveillance in the living room and saw Ellie arguing with Liam.

This was the first time, as far as I could remember.

Ellie cried and questioned Liam, "Dad, why did you alter my college application?"

"Why are you yelling? You are so immature."

Liam was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. "Gianna's son has poor grades. If you go to a prestigious school, they will be upset.

"You two should go to the same university. It will be nice to have company. You can marry him in the future."

Ellie was so angry that she trembled. She turned and ran out of the house.

Liam did not chase after her.

Seeing this, I clenched my fists.

No wonder Ellie's behavior was so unusual.

No wonder Ellie was angry.

It turned out that Liam had altered Ellie's college application to please Gianna. He even wanted to marry Ellie off to Layla.

Oh my God!

How could there be such a father in this world? He ruined his own daughter's dreams and future. He even pushed her into a bastard.

"What kind of person is Layla?

He has a terrible character. He lies habitually and often bullies classmates. He even hangs out with various thugs at school.

He is completely uneducated. His exam scores were extremely poor, barely enough to get into a university."

Yet Liam treated him like a treasure, almost like his own son.

Any random piece of clothing cost seven or eight thousand.

He changed phones five times a year, always getting the latest models.

On the other hand, Liam was unwilling to spend money on Ellie.

Ellie once asked Liam for a pair of running shoes worth over a thousand as a birthday gift. He scolded her for it.

Ellie kept apologizing.

I had a fight with Liam over this.

But I never imagined that Liam could be so pathologically biased.

He caused my daughter's death! And he was still buying computers for Layla.

Liam had not come back for the past few days.

I knew he did it on purpose. Just like before, leaving me to give in eventually.

But this time, I did not.

I silently handled Ellie's funeral while gathering evidence to file for divorce. I contacted the crematorium and arranged for her body to be transported there.

Even though several days had passed, I still could not recover. I could not help but cry while waiting outside.

But soon, I saw familiar figures. Liam and Gianna came out holding an urn.

"Have you finally realized your mistake? Apologize to Gianna and Layla, and I will forgive you."

Liam said while squinting at me.

"Forget it, Liam. Don't be so petty."

Gianna was putting on an act again. She continued, "Zoe, don't you sing and dance?

"I hope you can perform to send off John.

"It loved watching people sing and dance."

John was a dog.

Gianna was clearly insulting me, wanting me to make a fool of myself.

Liam, on the other hand, agreed and nodded. "Look at how generous Gianna is. Unlike you, so petty.

"Perform at the memorial service for John later.

"By the way, where is Ellie? She was supposed to have dinner with Layla tonight. Why hasn't she replied to messages? It's very rude. I don't know who she learned it from.

"Quickly call her over to bond with Layla."

Seeing Liam so obedient and listening to Gianna, I became angry.

He was indifferent to Ellie's accident but went out of his way to care for Gianna's dog.

Was my daughter not even worth as much as a dog?

"You want me to perform for a dog? No way! Liam, have you lost your mind? Do you do everything Gianna says? You might as well be her husband!

"And Layla is nothing! Is he worthy of my daughter? You keep trying to pair them up.

"You drove Ellie to her death!

"You don't deserve to be a father! You're a jerk!"

I shouted angrily at Liam.

Liam's face darkened instantly.

"Even if you don't want Ellie to be with Layla, you don't have to curse her to die again."

Gianna said while raising an eyebrow.

"There is no mother like you in this world. Joking about her daughter's life repeatedly."

Layla echoed her sentiments.

Influenced by their words, Liam frowned and said, "You disappoint me greatly.

"I thought you had reformed, but you have only gotten worse..."

Before Liam could finish, the crematorium staff's voice came through, "Ellie Clark's family, please enter the funeral room."

Hmm?

Hearing this name, Liam's expression suddenly froze.

I was in no mood to argue with Liam anymore. I hurried into the funeral room. After receiving the cremation certificate, I personally closed the urn.

"Sweet baby.

"I will take you home."

I came out of the funeral home in tears. Liam and Gianna were still there.

"Zoe!

"Whose ashes are these?"

Liam stared intently at the ashes in my hand. His voice began to tremble.
