Chapter 1514


    From Vanessa''s past experience, most families with wealth and power would more or less be at


    least a little bit arrogant. It was hard for the average person to get near them.


    For example, her family used to have money. Her stepmother always looked down on others and


    her father was also disrespectful and arrogant.


    On the contrary, all the members of the Kyle family were very well mannered despite being so well


    off. They never used their wealth to look down on others. Every action of theirs was warming to the


    heart and people could not help but want to get near them.


    Vanessa looked at Karen Joy and saw gentleness and love in her eyes. She couldn''t help opening


    her heart to Karen Joy and smiled at her. "Miss Kyle, if there is a chance, I would love to pay a visit


    to you and your mother."


    Karen Joyughed and said, "You don''t have to be so polite. Let me tell you, my mother is a very


    kind, gentle and beautiful woman. She has always been nice to us, the younger generation. I''m sure


    you''d love her when you meet her."


    Karen Joy was very easy to get along with, and Vanessa feltfortable with her around.


    Unconsciously, she said her thoughts out loud, "Mothers are always the best in their daughter''s


    eyes. But, the rtionship between a mother-inw and a daughter-inw could be tricky. If I am


    not careful, I could identally mess things up."


    Karen Joy said, "Well, I suppose you''re right, I can''tpare my rtionship with my mother to


    you. However, the rtionship between my sister- in-w, Silvia, and my mother can always be


    used as an example. My mother and Silvia are so close that sometimes even I get jealous."


    Karen Joy herself had no mother-inw, but just because she didn''t have one did not mean she


    didn''t understand the rtionship behind it. Back then, her paternal grandmother Rana Brown used


    to be very kind to Karen Joy''s mother too, treating her like her own daughter.


    Not only did Rana treat Karen well, but Karen also treated Silvia well. At present, Karen and Silvia


    would have two video chats every week and they would always talk for at least an hour. Whenever


    Karen had some good news, her first thought would be to share it with Silvia. They were so close


    that Karen Joy even felt envious.


    Hearing Karen Joy''s zealous voice, Vanessa couldn''t help butugh. "Miss Kyle, don''t worry. No


    matter how many people your mother likes, you are still her daughter. She had to go through 10


    months of pregnancy because of you. Blood is thicker than water. Her love for you will not be less


    than anyone else''s."


    "Vaness, so you do know blood is thicker than water. Parents love their children more than anyone


    else but why don''t you want to see your father? You know I''ve been waiting outside these few days,


    it''s not been easy."


    This was spoken by Marvin, who showed up outside the operating room with Fiona and Leslie. He


    had continued Vanessa''s sentence for her. Vanessa felt so disgusted that all her hairs were on end.


    "Marvin, you really are good at speaking highly of yourself. Blood may be thicker than water but it


    doesn''t apply to a cold-blooded animal like you."


    "Vaness..."


    Vanessa yelled, "Don''t call my name. Hearing it makes me feel disgusted!"


    Vanessa couldn''t remember how long it had been since shest saw Marvin but she would never


    forget what happened thest time they met.


    That day, when she found out about her


    unnned pregnancy, she was panicking with the hospital results in her hand. When she wanted to


    find someone to rely on, her father whom she trusted said to her, "Vaness, listen to your mother and


    kill the b*stard in your womb. You don''t even know the father!"


    "Get rid of him? You want me to terminate my pregnancy? Father, do you know what you''re talking


    about? I told you! That hag, Fiona, drugged my wine that night. I want to find evidence and bring her


    to justice. The child I carry is the only evidence. How can I get rid of him?" Vanessa looked at


    Marvin. He had indeed been her father for thest neen years but he did not stand by her side.


    He had chosen to stand on the side of the person who had hurt her.


    At that moment, Vanessa felt as though the sky above her head was about to fall on her.


    "Vaness, stop talking nonsense. How could your mother do such a thing to you?" This was not the


    first time Vanessa had told Marvin about this. However, no matter what she said, Marvin had always


    stood firmly on the side of Fiona.

    "Father..." Vanessa was so anxious that she clenched her fists. "It was this vicious woman who


    framed me. Why are you just unwilling to believe me?" "Vaness, don''t make irresponsible remarks if


    there''s no evidence." Marvin was slightly angry.


    "Some people just don''t know self-love. They like to sleep around with men and then me their


    actions on others. You are an adult, it is not a big deal if you are having sex with men. Since you


    are, you should have some basic knowledge about safe sex. Now that you''re pregnant and you


    don''t know who the father is, don''t you think it''s rather ironic?" Since Marvin was on her side, Fiona


    was brazen enough to make these sarcastic remarks towards Vanessa. Even if she had done


    something to Vanessa that night, there was no evidence. "If you don''t have any evidence, then keep


    your mouth shut. If it wasn''t because you''re still so young, I would have sued you for nder."


    After all, Vanessa was still his daughter. Seeing that Fiona was so aggressive, Marvin coughed and


    said, "Fiona, can you be quiet for a moment? We are a family. It''s more important to make peace


    with each other. Stop quarreling every time you guys meet, alright?"


    Fiona was displeased. "Marvin, who caused all this trouble? Your precious daughter was the one


    who has brought such shame to our family. Yet, you don''t think I should nag her?"


    Marvin didn''t say anything else while Fiona continued to bber non- stop. Her words were as


    savage as could be.


    Vanessa always knew that her father rarely dared to speak up in front of her stepmother but this


    matter was rted to her innocence and also to the crime. However, her father still chose to ignore


    her and instead chose to protect Fiona.


    From that day on, Vanessa told herself in her heart that her father was dead to her. She would


    always be on her own...


    It had been so long since then. Now that she thought about it, her heart still hurt. However, Vanessa


    did not want to allow herself to care for this man that she called ''father'' for neen years anymore.


    "Marvin Love, Fiona Cobb! How did you get here? Get out of here. Don''t make me get the guards to


    throw you out!"


    Fiona secretly pinched Marvin. Marvin blinked his eyes and forced two pitiful tears out of his eyes.


    "Vaness, your mother and I heard that Lawrie was having an operation today. We were worried


    about him, hence we came over to pay a visit."
