Chapter 541
"Oh." Adah's tone was flat, almost dismissive.
She still remembered all too well the day she and Karen had gone to the Morris family to discuss the engagement. Daly and
Sandra had teamed up to humiliate both her and Karen, showing them nothing but contempt.
Even now, whenever Adah thought back on that day, her teeth clenched with anger. Latham had treated the Morris family so well
in those days. And how had they repaid him? By stabbing him in the back, showing no loyalty or gratitude whatsoever.
So Sandra's death from carbon monoxide poisoning? Adah couldn't help but feel it was nothing less than she deserved.
Really?
Daniel was stunned by how indifferent Adah's reaction was. He'd never imagined she could be so cold-blooded. The dead
should be respected, after all. Sandra was gone, and yet Adah didn't even flinch. How could she be so heartless, especially
when Rebecca had always looked out for the Christensen family?
No conscience. Absolutely no conscience!
Daniel couldn't hold back his anger any longer. "Adah! How can you be so callous? No matter what happened, Rebecca is still
Sherman's fiancée! Now her mother's dead, and you're not even the least bit upset? Not even sad?"
Just then, Karen came downstairs. Seeing Adah so worked up, she turned to the maid beside her. "What's going on? Who was
on the phone?"
"Sounded like Mr. Robinson," the maid replied.
Daniel? Karen's temper flared instantly. She snatched the phone from Adah's hand. "You idiot, what do you want from us?
Someone died-so what! It's their own bad luck, serves them right! What goes around comes around! You think I'm supposed to
play the saint now? The Morris family loses someone and I'm supposed to forgive their precious angel? Forget it! Not a chance!"
It was harsh, even ruthless. But Karen had never pretended to be a saint. She remembered perfectly well how the Morris family
had treated her back then.
Daniel was shaking with rage. He'd never imagined that even after Sandra's death, Karen could still say such things.
"Mrs. Christensen, don't you think you're going too far? Mr. Latham and the Morris family shared a deep bond. How can you just
forget everything?" Daniel pressed on, his voice trembling. "Right now, the most important thing is to bring Rebecca here! She's
the only blood relative Mr. Morris has left in this world!"
Only then could the Christensen family hope to make amends for having wronged Rebecca.
"Bring your uncle! You fool, listen to me—what goes around comes around No one escapes judgment forever! You'll get what's
coming to you forhelping the wicked!" With that, Karen slammed the phone down in fury.
"Are you alright, Mom?" Adah asked quietly, worried.
After being hung up on, Daniel felt sick to his stomach. He tried calling back, but the line was busy.
Just then, a sleek black Mercedes pulled up to the curb. Sherman's car.
Daniel rushed over, waving him down. "Sherman!"
Sherman rolled down the window slowly. "What is it?"
Daniel wasted no time telling him about Sandra's death from gas poisoning. Sherman listened, expression unreadable. "What's
that got to do with me?"
Daniel stared at him, hurt and frustrated. "Sherman, no matter what's happened, Ms. Morris was your fiancée! Her mother's
dead, her
fathers in jail how can you just
abandon her? She needs younaw
more than ever!"
Sherman gripped the silver cross in his hand, fixing Daniel with a dark, cold stare. "Are you planning to be this stupid forever?"
Daniel's fists clenched, his eyes red with emotion. "Sherman, you're the one refusing to see the truth!"
Rebecca was such a good person-why couldn't Sherman see it? It was a tragedy that her devotion was wasted.
Just then, someone leaned out from
the back seat. "Daniel! Wake up
already! Can't you see Rebecca's
playing you? She's no saint-good
girls don't pretend to be comeone else. Why can't you understand
something so simple?"
