    “No, Mom. Just say it here!” Dakota bit her lip. She wasn’t usually this stubborn.


    “Dakota, you...” Jane was at a loss for words. She had never seen Dakota being this stubborn before.


    Florence furrowed her brows and began to scold Dakota for not being sensible. “Dakota, what’s going on with you today? Are


    you really going against your Mom for a man? And a liar at that!”


    “Aunt Florence, do you think | would be doing this if you hadn’t insisted on bringing Willie over?” Faced with Florence’s remarks,


    the usually gentle Dakota also felt her anger boiling.


    “How could you say that, Dakota? Do you think I’m trying to hurt you? I’m doing all this for your own good!” Florence crossed her


    arms. “Look at the house your family lives in now. It’s a run—down hunt! Me and Charles are always afraid of running into our


    friends whenever wee over. Don’t you think you should share some of your parents’ burden?”


    Although the words were directed at Dakota, they still affected Leonard. He flushed slightly and clenched his fists. As the head of


    the family, he med himself for the suffering of his wife and daughter.


    Jane’s expression shifted. However, she knew Florence was a headstrong woman and decided to bite back her words. She


    didn’t want to fight with Charlie and Florence now. Especially when there were


    still outsiders around.


    “That’s enough!” However, just because Leonard and Jane could endure it, it didn’t mean Dakota


    could. She had long been fed up with Charlie and Florence.


    She finally reached her limit from Florence’s words. “Aunt Florence, our family lives like this because my dad, in order to save


    thepany, sold everything that could be sold. Including the vi!”


    “In the past two months, if my dad hadn''t desperately injected funds into thepany, Jennings Company would have gone


    bankrupt long ago! Have any of you ever helped or contributed a penny? Does thepany belong to my dad alone?”


    Once upon a time, Dakota also lived in a luxurious viplete with a garden, a swimming pool, and everything else anyone


    could ever ask for in a home. However, Leonard had sold off the vi to pay the debt thepany owed. But what did they get in


    response? It was the various criticisms from their rtives!


    Dakota felt sorry for her dad!


    “You''re wrong, Dakota. Charlie and | have beening up with some ns too!” Florence immediately grew unhappy.


    “Really now?” Dakotaughed bitterly. “And what’s your n? To set me up with rich men?”


    “Do you think it''s easy to find a rich bachelor? Do you know the amount of effort Charlie and | put into finding a rich man for


    you?” Florence hissed.

    “You!” Dakota was on the verge of tears.


    Her family went through so much suffering to save thepany. They had to go around begging people, and her father’s hair


    had even begun to turn white from stress. Yet, her rtives were still being ungrateful!


    Cameron stood on the side, watching the usually good-tempered Dakota grow angrier by the second.


    He couldn''t stand it anymore.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    He approached Dakota andforted her, “Calm down, Dakota. It’s not worth arguing with them.”


    Dakota was moved. She turned to Cameron and met his gentle gaze. She could feel her frustration leaving her slightly.


    “Thank you,” Dakota thanked.


    “What for?” Cameron smiled gently. After that, he red at Florence with a cold gaze.
