"If I had known she would be such an ungrateful white-eyed wolf, you should have just thrown her into an orphanage back then. Who cares if she lives or dies?"
Benjamin Lawrence paused for a few seconds before frowning and saying, "Are you saying Annie's hospitalization is because of Joanna?"
"Who else could it be!" Rose Liall was gnashing her teeth in anger. "Your beloved daughter is now trying to ride roughshod over us."
"Impossible," Benjamin denied immediately, "Must be some misunderstanding. How could Joanna possibly cause Annie to be hospitalized? Did you say Joanna found her biological parents? Was that true?"
"What's there to lie about? She has even acknowledged them, and you still don't know? It seems like you, her adoptive father, doesn't hold any importance in her heart. She didn't even tell you about such an important matter. Well, now she's the well-bred lady of the White family. How could she look up to us?"
