Love Her to No End

Chapter 16

Chapter 16 Monstrous Father

As Jacob’s eyes were gradually filled with frigidness, he heard a sarcastic scoff. “Hah! Jacob, are you really saying that I’m pampering her? I simply didn’t want you to use my daughter’s happiness as your bargaining chip. As her mother, I can’t let my daughter marry that scumbag of a man!”

“What do you know? Don’t you think I’m doing this for Mich’s sake? Don’t you know how powerful the Xander family is? Yes, Zack has made a mistake, but if Mich were to forgive him now, he’ll be all over her to make things right! Besides, Quentin and his wife will also feel indebted to Mich. Can’t you understand that?”

That wasn’t the first time Michaela had heard her parents bickering.

However, it was only at that moment that the realization of just how much of a hypocrite her father was finally dawned upon her when she heard him expressing his worry over how her happiness was at stake. Her lips eventually curled up, but there wasn’t a hint of amusement in her eyes. How could he act like he’s doing me a favor? It seems like Lucille having an affair with my fiancé isn’t the saddest part, after all. What a tragic life I have to be simply seen as a pawn in my father’s eyes…

At the moment, the argument in the living room was still ongoing. Michaela’s mother was still trying to fight for Michaela’s happiness. “Are you saying that it’s good that he’s trying to make it up to her only after he’d committed an atrocious act? That’s something only a scumbag like you would say! I’m not going to risk my daughter’s happiness, and that’s that!” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Don’t you move, Hannah!” Right after Jacob shouted, he turned around and spotted a figure in the living room. At that moment, his image of a loving father had been completely destroyed. Instead, he had

become a disgusting and despicable father figure in Michaela’s eyes.

“Mich!” Worried about her daughter, Hannah wanted to bring her upstairs.

However, Michaela stopped in her tracks when she was walking past Jacob, and she said, “I’ve heard everything you guys said. As I said, Zack has gone over the line, so no matter what, I’m not marrying him. You should give up on that thought, Dad.”

Jacob’s eyes turned icy-cold, and he glared viciously at Michaela after she said that.

Hannah grew anxious when she saw how neither Michaela nor Jacob was willing to back down from the stare-down. In the end, she had to drag Michaela away and went up the stairs.

The moment they arrived inside Michaela’s room, they heard Jacob thundering, “Why can’t either of you just make my life easier? I’ve provided you guys with everything in life! Is this what I get in return? F*ck!”

Having seen all his hopes and dreams going down the drain, Jacob had lost his temper and started smashing everything in the living room in a fit of rage.

Unbeknownst to Michaela, Jonathan, who had followed her home, had seen everything through the window.

“Mr. Xander, I can’t believe Jacob has the heart to sacrifice his daughter just for the sake of building a relationship with the Xander family! He’s such a monstrous father!”

A jet-black Lincoln could be seen parked outside the mansion. With its taillights on, the car looked like a beast hiding in the dark.

The car windows were lowered halfway, and they could hear all the unpleasant words being said in the mansion.

Angry at what he was witnessing, Walter grumbled non-stop.

Even Jonathan, who had always been a cool and collected person, had his lips pressed into a thin line. He couldn’t stop gazing at one of the bedroom windows on the third floor. His eyes were filled with concern until he saw a graceful figure emerging from behind the curtains.

Right then, Gary opened the door of his Audi and went up to Jonathan. In a low voice, he said, “Mr. Xander, Mr. Quentin and Mdm. Yvonne is heading toward Shappiray Mansion.”

“Stay here and report back to me if anything happens.”

“Understood.”

The car windows rolled back up, and the Lincoln sped away. Gary’s gaze fell on the mansion once again. He was usually an expressionless man, but he couldn’t help but look at the mansion with sympathy in his eyes.
