“So you knew where I was and that I was working, yet you never once reached out? Were you afraid I’d ask for money, or be a burden?”

She had been naive to think his love for her would survive her mother’s death.

In reality, he was a man who had betrayed her mother the moment he became successful.

Why would such a heartless person ever truly care about her?

He only valued her as long as she was married into the Walter family.

The second she lost her value, he was ready to discard her without a second thought.

She was glad she had found a job and a home on her own without crawling to him.

Otherwise, she would have faced even worse humiliation from him.

Michael’s face flushed with a mix of shame and defensive anger.

“I am your father! Cindy was right, you’re becoming more ungrateful by the day! Is this how you speak to me?”

Jade didn’t want to argue; she grabbed her suitcase and turned to leave.

If you don’t expect anything, you won’t be crushed by the weight of disappointment.

When she was suffering in her marriage, he was nowhere to be found.

He had never once considered her needs and clearly wanted nothing to do with her.

Yet the moment his “real” family was in trouble, he came running faster than anyone.

In that house, she had always been a stranger, and now she finally accepted that truth.

Michael saw her walking away and his rage boiled over, but the thought of the jail cell kept him following her.

“They were acting out of love for you! They went to confront her, and that woman had them arrested! You have to fix this!”

Jade was stunned, then zeroed in on the truth and cut him off with a cold, piercing stare.

“For me? Or for that house? You’ve wanted that Riverside villa for years. You used me as an excuse to try and steal it!”

She drew a steadying breath, the last of her respect for him finally dead.

“Dad, I call you Dad, but you only care about Robert. Did you consider for one second what this does to me? You knew their plan!”

Michael opened his mouth, but no words came out; his silence was the loudest confession of all.

Jade felt a freezing chill in her soul as she gripped her suitcase, forcing the words through her teeth.

“Since

of it.”

you approved of their actions, you can handle the consequences yourself. Leave me out

Jade’s tone was final, but the moment she turned away, tears surged up and spilled over.

She tipped her head back and forced them down with sheer, painful will.

Now she knew for certain-she had no father, and no home to return to.

But she still had the baby in her belly.

She would never be truly alone as long as she had her child.

Jade drew another long breath and kept walking toward the entrance.
