When Martin saw Sabrina in such a state, his heart ached instantly.
He had waited half a lifetime to finally marry this woman, and on their wedding day, her eyes were red-rimmed, though she tried to hide it from him.
Martin couldn't bear it.
“Sabrina, your eyes... have you been crying? Didn't you go to comfort Bella? Why are you the one who's crying?”
Martin was clearly agitated. His wife had been deeply wronged, and as her husband, he couldn't just ignore it.
Sabrina replied softly, “It's nothing. I just got some dust in my eye.”
“How could you get dust in your eye out of nowhere? Don't lie to me, I know you.
It's about Bella, isn't it?
It's all because of that wretched daughter of mine. She's not only disobedient but she always stirs up this kind of trouble.
Don't worry, I'll teach her a good lesson later.
As for Bella's situation, I'll find a way to minimize the damage to her reputation.
I already called Sebastian. Don't worry, it won't affect Bella's work.
Sebastian said that Bella is doing an excellent job, and even today's incident won't impact her position.”
Sabrina hadn't expected Martin to have already called Sebastian. She wasn't worried about that front; after all, his company still relied on Bella.
What Sabrina wanted was to vent her anger.
Her long-awaited wedding of the century had ended in a mess, with Lillian causing a scene that made everyone think she was some kind of disreputable woman.
In short, the whole affair felt like a net loss.
And Sabrina was determined to recoup those losses.
To do that, Lillian would have to pay a steep price. Only then would she be satisfied.
“Martin, what should I do to make Lillian accept me?” she asked, her voice filled with sorrow.
Martin's brow furrowed. “Don't even mention that wicked girl. You don't need her acceptance. If she accepts you, fine. If not, she can get out of this house.
I'll just pretend I never had this daughter. It makes no difference whether she's here or not.”
Martin truly didn't care about Lillian at all. In his mind, she was ungrateful and petty, unwilling to make small sacrifices for the good of the family.
Everyone in this family worked hard.
He had dedicated his entire life to the company and this family, only now, at his age, finally marrying the woman he loved.
Who could possibly understand the sacrifices he had made?
Sabrina feigned concern. “Martin, isn't that too harsh? She is your biological daughter, after all.”
