You, Me And Our Genus Twins

Chapter 114 Too Cruel

Michael gazed at Angie darkly and asked, “Will you listen to me?”

Angie met his gaze as panic seized her, wondering what the man might say. Will he stand up for me and call the shots? Will he make Nicholas marry me?

If these were old times, she was confident that he would be on her side, but now, she wasn’t sure. However, as things were, she had no choice but to listen to him.

She nodded and said earnestly, “Of course I will, Dad!”

“Very well,” Michael began. “In that case, get changed. I’ll take you away from here and drop you off at the pied-à-terre so you can stay there for a few days. Once you feel better, I’ll have Jonathan bring you to Dusktown where you will stay with your biological father from then on.”

He spoke so quietly, but his voice was clear and carrying in the deathly silence of the living room, and each word sent chills down Angie’s spine.

He’s too cruel! Indeed, this father of hers, who had been nothing but good to her all these years, was being cruel and heartless right now.

He hadn’t asked Nicholas to marry her, and instead wanted her to pack up so he could send her back to the Colts!

in her eyes were all but an act, but now, they were replaced by real despair and anguish; it was as if Michael had turned into a stranger. The longer she stared at him in disbelief, the faster her tears raced down her cheeks. “How could you do this to me, Dad? I know I’m not your actual daughter, but I’ve filled that role for over twenty years, haven’t I? Don’t you have even the slightest affection or sympathy for me? You’re just going to
