Chapter 69
After seeing the caller ID, Eliza's expression turned even uglier. She did not pick up the call.
The next second, a message came in.
Albert was still nagging her to think of a way to get the invitation.
Frustrated, Eliza could only brace herself and say, "Dad, don't worry! I will definitely help you get it!"
Without waiting for Albert to be happy, she added, "I still have something urgent to attend to, so I won't be accompanying you and Mommy home!"
*****
Audrey drove to St. Johnson Hospital.
After parking the car, she went to the nearby supermarket to get some fruits and nutritional supplements.
When she walked into the hospital, she realized that the nurse at the reception desk had changed.
She thought, 'Mr. Fletcher is really fast. He fired her just like that!'
Audrey was very satisfied with this, but when she thought of Grant Fletcher, she could not help but think of Alistair.
She thought, 'Alistair is a man who can make Mr. Fletcher respect and even fear him.
'Is he really just an ordinary office worker? And Logan... Logan's actions were more like currying favor with Alistair.
'However, Logan is the president of Brightview Group. Alistair is just an ordinary worker. Why did Logan have to please Alistair?'
Thinking about it carefully, her understanding of Alistair was still too superficial.
All the knowledge came from Alistair's words.
Audrey thought, 'What if Alistair lied to me... No, that is impossible.'
Audrey shook her head. The interactions in the details could not be fabricated.
She knew that Alistair did not have any bad intentions towards her.
She felt that she should find an opportunity to have a good talk with him.
As her thoughts ran wild, she arrived at Jessica's ward.
Before Audrey's hand could touch the door, it opened. "Bang!"
"Get your stuff and get lost. Why are you pretending to be my good daughter now? You're not worthy of being my sister at all. You're not welcome here!" A basket was suddenly thrown out of the ward and fell at Audrey's feet, almost hitting her. She thought, 'What... happened?'
Audrey tightened the gift bag in her hand curiously and slowly walked up to the ward to take a look.
Miles was very angry. His face was tense as he glared fiercely at Eliza.
Peter, who was at the side, held Miles back and comforted him, "Miles, don't lose your temper with your sister."
Peter persuaded gently, "Eliza didn't know that your mother was so seriously ill, so she didn't come to visit in time.
"And she just got into a big company. She's busy with work. You have to understand her."
Miles sneered coldly.
In front of his parents, he didn't want to talk about how he went to look for Eliza yesterday but was humiliated by her with money.
He only said coldly, "She clearly didn't want to come to visit Mom!"
Eliza, who had almost been hit by Miles, was furious.
She was already in a bad mood, and now it was even worse.
Looking at Peter who was still acting like a kind father, she felt even more annoyed.
In the heat of the moment, she blurted out, "That's right, I deliberately didn't come to see her!"
Hearing this, Peter, Miles, and Jessica were stunned.
Eliza only felt happy after revealing the truth/
She shouted at the top of her lungs, "I was born a noble lady with endless wealth!
"It's all this old woman's fault. She deliberately carried the wrong child and sent her daughter to enjoy life. She made me suffer in your lousy family for more than twenty years. She deserves what she gets!" Eliza pointed at Jessica with a fierce expression. Her long nails looked like they were about to pierce into Jessica.
The ward fell into a strange silence that lasted for a few minutes.
Peter was the first to react. He immediately said, "Eliza, don't be angry. I apologize to you for what Miles did to you." Eliza felt speechless.
She thought, 'How shameless. I have already said that, but he is still trying to kiss my ass.
'Does he want me to help him after entering a wealthy family? Don't even think about it!'
Eliza crossed her arms and snorted coldly. "I'm not saying anything out of anger. I'm telling the truth!"
Peter did not believe Eliza at all. He felt that this was too unbelievable.
He felt that she must have said that on purpose because she was angry about asking them for money.
Peter's face was soon filled with smiles again. He even said ingratiatingly, "Eliza. It's not that I was unwilling to give you 30 thousand dollars to buy a car previously. It's just that our family doesn't have that much money."
He slowly took out his bank card from his pocket and stuffed it into Eliza's hand. "After treating your mother, we only have 15 thousand dollars left. Take it."
Eliza thought, 'What can a mere 15 thousand dollars do? This is nothing! The tip I received from Fiona previously was a total of 700 thousand dollars.'
Comparing the two, Eliza felt that the Harper family was very shabby.
She said, "Who cares about your stinky money!"
"Slap!" She slapped the back of Peter's hand, causing the bank card to fall to the ground.
Peter's face instantly turned pale as he stared blankly at the bank card that had fallen to the ground.
Miles couldn't take it anymore and shouted angrily, "Eliza, you're too much."
That was the money that Peter had worked hard for, but it was detained by Eliza.
Miles added, "Dad treats you so well. He cares about you all the time and is afraid of making you suffer. Is this how you repay him?"
Faced with Miles's accusation, Eliza retorted angrily, "I don't care about your kindness!
"It's because you guys don't have money or ability that I've been mocked by the people around me since I was young. I could only wear second-hand clothes since I was a kid.
"I'm clearly prettier than them, but I'm disdained by others because I'm poor. All of this is caused by you. I don't want you to be my family!"
She really couldn't stand living such a poor life anymorenoveldrama
She felt that fortunately, she was not actually a member of the Harper family.
After hearing Eliza's words, Peter bent down and picked up the bank card.
There were thick calluses on his hands, they were trembling violently.
He thought, 'This is the daughter I have painstakingly raised! How ridiculous!'
He had never mistreated Eliza since she was young.
Because she was the only daughter in the family, Peter favored her over his sons and always tried to grant her wishes.
However, in the end, she only had endless complaints of him.
