Chapter 73


    Karen walked into the restaurant and saw Kristine sitting there daydreaming.


    They hadn''t seen each other for three years, but Kristine''s appearance remained the same - soft


    and weak as if she could be blown away by the wind.


    Karen walked towards her. When she was still a few steps away, Kristine looked up and smiled.


    "You are here."


    "Yes," Karen replied unwillingly. It turned out that she can be so calm when she saw Kristine again,


    as she had forgotten everything about the past.


    Kristine said, "I ordered your favorite crab yolk shark fin, fried cucumber, and..."


    "I''ve had my lunch. Didn''t you say that you want to talk to me about my mother? Just say it." Karen


    interrupted without mercy. She saw Kristine''s disappointed eyes, but she didn''t regret it at all.


    In the past, Kristine knelt on the ground with such a sad look and apologized to her. What for?


    Things had passed for some time, and Karen did not want to think about it again. But she could not


    forget about the things that Kristine had done.


    "Father asked me to talk to you this time." Karen wouldn''t want to listen to her nonsense, so Kristine


    did not waste her time.


    "Ha..." Karen smiled coldly.


    Father?


    She almost forgot that she even had a father.


    Kristine said, "Father hopes that you will go back to Beaford City with me. Stop wandering far away


    from home."


    "What else?" Karen asked coldly.


    She left Beaford City for three years, but no one ever asked about her. Now that Charlie found her,


    and her so-called father wanted her back, she knew what was going on when she thought about it.


    "Karen..." Kristine pursed her lips and her tears swirled in her eyes. "I lost my child and I can''t give


    birth ever again in the future. I can never carry a child for the Gook family..."


    "So he wants me to go back? He wants me to give birth to a baby for the Gook family?" Karen said


    sharply.


    She looked calm, but her heart was hurting. Even if she didn''t want to admit it, that person was her


    father anyway.


    She really hoped that she could have a father who loves his wife and daughter like how other


    fathers do and live happily with them without needing to fight for fame. Instead, her father ignored


    his wife and treated his daughter like some tools.


    Karen guessed that when Kristine was having an affair with Charlie and she even carried Charlie''s


    baby, her father was aware of it.


    Anyway, they were both daughters from the family. It did not matter who was the one to marry who


    would marry into the Gook family. What mattered was as long as they are rted to the Gook


    family.


    Although she had been engaged to Charlie, their rtionship was not fruitful because she was too


    young and too busy.


    Her father even gave her a hint that she should do more with Charlie so that she can secure her


    position in his heart.


    Karen had her own opinion on this thing, she thought that if their rtionship had to be maintained


    by sexual desire, how far could that rtionship go? She often made her father speechless.


    Soon, Kristine was pregnant with Charlie''s baby, which was great news for their father.

    Once Kristine gave birth to the bloodline of the Gook family, it would stabilize the rtionship


    between the Daly family and the Gook family. In the future, no one would look down at the Daly


    family.


    So in the end, when they told her to cancel the engagement between her and Charlie and let


    Kristine marry into the Gook''s family instead, her fathermented that Karen was useless


    because she could not even have a child for the family, which was a woman''s duty.


    Now that Kristine had a miscarriage, and she could not give birth again. Then, her father changed


    the target to Karen.


    She was disgusted at the idea.


    Karen continued, "Please go back and tell him that he should not bother me anymore. I no longer


    regard him as my father."


    Kristine said softly, "Karen, I know that you have always been a strong and independent girl. You


    won''t listen to father''s orders."


    Kristine was very clear about Karen''s character. Karen was someone who was very opinionated.


    She even dared to disown her father, let alone Charlie, who betrayed their feelings.


    Kristine dared to use the trick of getting pregnant with Charlie''s baby, it was because she knew that


    once Karen remembered that Charlie had betrayed their feelings, she would never forgive Charlie.


    Kristine knew Karen''s decisive character too well, she knew that Karen would never listen to her


    father''s orders and would never go back to Beaford City with her, that''s why she purposely came to


    Chatterton Town to persuade her.


    Instead of saying Kristine came to Chatterton Town with the purpose of persuading Karen, she was


    trying to ensure that Karen will stay away from Beaford City.


    As Charlie''s fiancée, she couldn''t give birth to his children. She could have let any woman bear


    children for Charlie, but that woman could never be Karen.


    If Karen went back to Beaford City and reconciled with Charlie, there will not be a ce for Kristine.


    Her father had always acted ording to their likes and dislikes of the Gook family. As long as


    Charlie treated Karen well, her father will only have Karen in his eye, by then Kristine will also lose


    her ce in the Daly family.


    Kristine would be treated the same way Karen was treated three years ago. How could she let


    Karen go back?


    Karen knew that Kristine must have something to say, but she didn''t ask. If Kristine said something,


    then she would listen, but if she didn''t want to say anything, she wouldn''t be interested anyway.


    Kristine took her bag from the chair and purposely ced the direction of the logo of the bag in front


    of Karen. It was from a luxurious brand where a small bag could go up to thousands of dors.


    Then she looked at the bag that Karen was using. It was from an unknown brand, which looked


    cheap and mass-produced.


    Kristine showed off her bag for a while, and then she took out a bank card from her bag and put it


    on the table, pushing it to Karen.


    She smiled and said, "Karen, there are about a million dors in this card. This is enough for you to


    find a small city, buy a house, and if you spend it wisely you don''t need to work for the rest of your


    life anymore."


    It turned out that the real purpose of Kristine''s meeting was to ask her to leave Chatterton Town with


    the money.


    Karen felt funny and smiled gently. "Kristine, you want to chase me away with a million dors?"


    Kristine was stunned for a moment. She blinked her eyes wide and looked at Karen. She looked


    innocent and helpless.


    Karen continued, "If I go back to Beaford City and give birth to a child for Charlie, would the Gook


    family treat me poorly? Maybe the old man of the Gook family would give his grandson a small


    share whenever he wants to. At that time, as his mother, I will also be as precious as his grandson.


    Do you think I still need this money?"


    "You want me to feel disgusted, don''t you? I can do disgusting things too, and I won''t be weaker


    than you in this game." Karen thought.


    "Karen, how can you..." Kristine said and she can''t smile anymore. She firmed her lips and looked


    like she was going to cry soon.
