It was impossible for him to believe that this was the first time his second wife and Xiao Yunyao tried to harm his eldest daughter. He knew that Xiao Rufeng never got along with them and had chosen to distance herself from him and his second family. Still, it didn't mean that he had disowned her as his child.
It pained him to realize that Xiao Rufeng might have been dealing with this on her own for a long time. Perhaps with him favoring his younger daughter, Xiao Rufeng could have thought that he wouldn't listen to her if she tried to inform him of what was going on.
"Were you trying to kill my daughter?" He asked incredulously.
"It's not like that…" He heard his wife say, but her expression was enough for him to know that he was right.
