Chapter 69


    Ever since bumping into Emma and Aiden, Izzy knew her return to A City couldn''t be kept under


    wraps.


    Tonight, Ethan had some socialmitments, so Izzy nned to take a cab home. Just as she


    arrived at the taxi stand, a ck Mercedes pulled up beside her. The window rolled down and there


    was Hunter.


    Years had flown by and he barely seemed to have changed, except he looked a lot more worn out


    as the wrinkles around his eyes seemed to have deepened.


    She froze for a moment, then turned and walked away. She remembered the ring headline from


    the newspaper five years ago:


    The Chairman of the Galeana Group had made a public statement early in the morning, proiming


    that Izzy, the eldest daughter of the Galeana family, had behaved disgracefully. Hunter nned to


    sever all father-daughter ties with her, and her future actions would have no connection to the


    Galeana family.


    Years had passed, and her memory had not returned, but she remembered thpse sentences clearly,


    like a curse reminding her of the fact that she was someone discarded by her own biological father.


    She hadn''t walked far when Hunter''s Mercedes audaciously blocked her path. Hunter''s deep voice


    came from inside the car, "Get in. Don''t make me repeat myself."


    As soon as he finished speaking, two men in ck suits got out of the car, along with Ss, Hunter''s


    secretary, and the butler of the Galeana family, someone she had met once before.


    "Miss, please listen to the Chairman and get in the car," Ss looked at Izzy, his voice was low, but


    there seemed to be a hint of warmth in his eyes.


    Izzy gave Ss a cold nce, then said sarcastically, "Who''s the one with amnesia here? Have you


    forgotten that I cut ties with the Galeana family five years ago? My actions have nothing to do with


    the Galeana family. What''s this about?"


    Ss was taken aback but quickly replied, "Miss, blood ties can''t be severed no matter what." "What


    a joke." Izzy scoffed, her eyebrows furrowed revealing a fierce look. She stepped past Ss, turned


    to Hunter, and said defiantly, "Well, I have something to tell you, blood is not the only thing that


    binds a family since some people can just cut it off without a second thought.”


    Hunter’s face turned dark. Looking at the face that was a spitting image of his ex-wife, he gritted his


    teeth, “It’s been years, and you’re still like a porcupine, always ready to prick anyone whoes


    near you. Can''t you speak nicely?"


    "Nice words are for nice people." The implication was clear. In her eyes, he was not a nice person.

    She couldn''t bring herself to say a few nice words to a man who let his mistress drive his wife to


    death, let his mistress openly be his son''s wife, and then drove his own daughter out of the


    house.


    "Izzy, don''t forget I am your father." Hunter''s veins were popping out on his hand resting by his side,


    he seemed to be on the edge of rage.


    "Thanks for the reminder. Maybe I should change myst name. I''ve always been ashamed of it. I''m


    sure I''ll get used to my new name quickly."


    Hunter was shaking with anger and he couldn''t help but cough. His coughing got worse and soon


    his face turned red.


    However, Izzy didn''t see any of this because she was looking into the distance.


    Ss quickly stepped forward and patted his back, "Chairman, don''t be angry with Miss, she''s still a


    child."


    "A child? She''s 27." Hunter had nowhere to vent his anger, he couldn''t help but smack the car


    window a few times.


    Ss sighed heavily and was at a loss for words as Izzy looked ruthless when she stood aside with


    her skinny figure, slightly pursed lips, and back straight. She was indeed not the warm girl he


    remembered.


    "Ms. Galeana, this isn''t a good ce to talk, let''s get in the car."


    "No need, if you have something to say, say it here. I need to get home." Izzy was resolute and


    determined not to have anything to do with the Galeana family. Hunter rubbed his temples and was


    completely out of patience. He waved at the two bodyguards, who stood not too far away. The two


    bodyguards quickly approached, each grabbing an arm of Izzy’s. Izzy''s face turned gloomy, she


    made a slight move and the bodyguards tightened their grip. She waspletely immobilized.


    "Get her in the car," Hunter ordered in a deep voice. Izzy red at Hunter, her eyes seemed to be


    burning with a me. Ss looked at the resolute father and daughter, not knowing what to say. He


    had taken care of Izzy as she grew up, he knew how stubborn she was. If they wanted her to


    willingly go with her father, they had to use force. Izzy knew her resistance was futile, she couldn''t


    break free from the two burly men by herself, so she gave up struggling and let the bodyguards put


    her in the car. Once the car door was closed, they let go of her. She sat in the middle, with the


    bodyguards on both sides, presumably worried about her escaping.


    Once Izzy was in the car, her gaze stayed outside. Hunter nced at her through the rearview


    mirror, "I heard you got married?"


    On hearing this, Izzy''s eyelids twitched slightly, but she said nothing. Since Emma knew about her


    marriage, it was not surprising that he also knew.


    "I called youst night, but a man answered, iming to be your husband."


    Izzy leaned back, closing her eyespletely. She hadn''t seen any unfamiliar numbers in her call


    log. So, it must have been Ethan who deleted the call log, knowing that she didn''t want to have


    anything to do with the Galeana family. He always put her first in everything he did.


    Maybe the world is fair. Although she never received the love of her parents, she had a husband


    who cherished her and put her first.


    Ss looked at Izzy, who remained silent, feeling anxious, "Miss, the Chairman is just worried about


    you, at least respond."


    No matter what Hunter bbed about, Izzy just kept her lips sealed. After a while, even Hunter got


    bored and stopped talking.


    After some time, Izzy suddenly remembered she needed to call Ethan. She opened her eyes and


    was just about to take out her phone when the bodyguard sitting next to her swiped it. Izzy shot him


    an angry re. Hunter gave the bodyguard a meaningful look, and he got the hint. He nodded,


    popped open the back of the phone, took out the battery, and casually tossed it in his own pocket


    before handing the phone back to Izzy.
