Chapter 2888


    There were some burning questions that needed to be asked, and she preferred to confront Imogen


    face-to-face.


    She had no intention of bringing her father into the loop just yet. With the whirlwind of events that had


    transpired recently and Imogen now having a child with her father, she figured spilling the beans might


    not change a thing. That leverage had to be kept close to her chest, ready to be yed at the most


    opportune moment.


    Life, with its myriadplexities, had to go on and Regina focused on her current job. Once this case


    was wrapped up, she promised herself to reevaluate her future.


    It wasn’t like she hadn’t been courted by the entertainment industry before. The glitz and mour never


    appealed to her, and with her family background, she never needed to jostle in the limelight for a


    paycheck.


    But times had changed. Now, she had her own path to carve, independent of the allowance her father


    doled out. Acting could be a viable option-it would certainly help settle Nn’s debts quicker.


    Lost in her thoughts, Regina drove home.


    Her father, Francis, greeted her with a rare hint of joy.


    “Back so soon? Where’s Nn? Didn’t hee with you?”


    Handing the keys to the butler with a stoic expression, Regina bristled at his inquiry, “Why did you call


    him yesterday?”


    “I’m his father-inw, ain’t I? Just catching up, that’s all.”


    Biting her lip, she tried to contain her frustration. Her father was crossing lines more than ever.


    “Dad, Nn’s given you the money. The Tanner family isn’t in the dire straits you im. Can you please


    stop this charade? Regardless of everything, Nn and I are still married. Can’t you leave me some


    dignity?”


    Francis’ face soured at her words. “What’s that supposed to mean? Embarrassed by your old man, are


    you? Seems like you’ve forgotten who’s been footing the bill for yourvish lifestyle-all thanks to this


    ‘thick-skinned’ father of yours. And now you have the gall toin?”

    Regina looked down, offering noeback, but Francis’ tirade escted.


    “Now you remember you’re married to the guy? When I had to push him to marry you, you acted like it


    was thest thing you wanted. It’sughable, really. Don’t get all high and mighty just because you’re


    Mrs. Harris now. Don’t forget where youe from!”


    Still, she tried to reason with him weakly. “I haven’t forgotten where Ie from, Dad. That’s why I’m


    advising you. You know what kind of man Nn is.


    Do you really want to provoke him like this? Sure, he can spare a dime for the Tanners now and then,


    but you can’t keep milking him dry. He’s not an ATM, Dad. Every penny is ounted for, and I have to


    pay him back.”


    Suddenly, Francis’ grip tightened on her arm. “What did you just say? Pay him back? That money was


    a gift, a donation to the Tanners. Why on earth would you pay it back?”


    Regina was cornered, her father demanding an exnation. She couldn’t very well admit that after he


    extorted money from Nn, she was secretly nning to reimburse him-especially since he knew she


    barely had two nickels to rub together.
