A Crazy Night Novel

Chapter 192 Miranda And Her Devious Scheme

“Oh, come on. You have no real intention of living with us. You should’ve thought about these consequences when you insisted on divorcing Mom all those years ago,” Christina snapped, a hint of resentment in her voice.

Does he have any idea how I survived my childhood? Does he know what it feels like to be down and out? With no home to go back to?

“Aren’t you very good at exploiting your daughters?” she added wryly. “Since you still have one unmarried daughter, why don’t I introduce you to a wealthy family in the city? Their eldest son is notorious for abusing women.”

Needless to say. Gideon was seething with rage. “Y–You se*mbag! How can you be so cruel toward your own sister?”

Christina, however, remained unperturbed.

Ha! What a joke. He didn’t have a problem selling me away back then, yet he can’t bear to do the same to Emilia… Why is there a double standard? Aren’t I also his flesh and blood?

Just as Gideon was about to say something else, Christina’s bodyguard rushed upstairs after receiving her

text.

“Throw him out. I don’t want him ruining my meal with my mother,” Christina said coldly.

“Yes, Mrs. Hadley.”

Gideon cursed at the top of his lungs as the bodyguard dragged him away, and within seconds, the condominium was quiet once again.

Christina hurriedly grabbed a broom to clean up the broken ceramic pieces before mopping the floor thoroughly with water.

“Don’t be angry, Christina. He’s not worth it,” Sharon coaxed, though deep down, she was also emotionally overwhelmed.

Judging by how Gideon and Christina were always jumping down each other’s throats, it wouldn’t take a genius to figure out that the latter must have suffered a lot at her parents‘ hands.

Christina gently clutched her mother’s arm. “I’m glad you’ve finally come to your senses, Mom. I was so worried you’d tell me to listen to him.”

As far as she could remember, Sharon had always been weak and never had the guts to speak up for herself.

“I know it’s unfilial of me, but L…” Christina added before her voice trailed off.
