Chapter 326 The past


    “For holidays, your little daughter gets new dresses, but this kid gets nothing. You treated her totally


    like a wild child. Or worse, you made her do chores and babysit her little sister. For these unfair


    treatments, you always told her that it was her responsibility to take care of her little sister because


    she’s the elder sister. Right?”


    While saying those words, Megan thought of her findings and a look of disgust appeared on her face.


    “Even after she divorced, you let her suffered a marriage which your little daughter unsatisfied with by


    making her marry in ce of your little daughter. You really are a piece of work as a person.”


    Belinda felt guilty upon hearing these words, but on second thoughts, she thought that she was right.


    “How? It’s every human being’s instinct to be good to her own daughter. She’s not my biological child


    and you know that. Why should I be nice to her? I owe her nothing. Besides, the Wilson family brought


    her up, sent her to school and provided her with every opportunity to receive educations. I have nothing


    to be sorry for.”


    “I am afraid that you have forgotten your original intention. Do you think she would choose you as her


    mother if given the choice? You adopted her because you and your husband had been infertile. But


    god knows since you have your own child she’s been treated badly. Did it ever ur to you that she


    had brought joy and affections to you when you saw her suffering from all those unfairness?”


    Belinda, “…”


    Belinda suddenly remembered that before she was pregnant, she and her husband had been very


    happy to adopt Charlotte, because her eyebrows and eyes were so pretty and they thought she would


    be a beautiful child when she grows up.


    And they also discussed that they would find a decent husband for her when she reaches marriageable


    age.


    But then after Belinda has her own child, she gradually changed her mind. She began to hate


    Charlotte, even saw that child as a drag and had spent all her money. So she stopped buying new


    clothes for Charlotte, and every time when Christina bullied her, not only did she ignore it, but she was


    delighted.


    Charlotte was taken away by traffickers, Belinda even thought… that was great.


    After all, she was adopted from the orphanage. So it was not so bad for her to be caught by the


    traffickers, since she was an abandoned child. And she thought the traffickers might send her to other


    parents and she wouldn’t have to support her anymore.


    These ideas were growing like crazy in Belinda’s mind, until the police actually called and said that


    Charlotte had been found and asked her to go to the police station to pick her up.


    She hesitated for a long time before she went and fetched Charlotte. Since then, Belinda has been


    even more disapproving of Charlotte, and wondered why she didn’t die at the hands of those


    traffickers.


    Anyway, everything is now inexplicable.


    “So what are you here for today?”


    “Are you admitting that the girl was adopted from orphanage and was not your biological daughter?”


    Belinda nodded. There was nothing for her to deny. What’s done is done.


    “Yeah, well, since you’ve got it all figured out, I have nothing to say. Who the hell are you? Why do you


    want to know all about these things?”


    Megan had a look at Zain, thetter nodded. She then asked, “What about the safety locks?”


    Belinda took a look at them and said angrily, “What on earth do you want?”


    “Mrs.Wilson, it’s pretty clear. You sure you don’t know what we want?”


    “You wanna…” It took her a long time to realize what was happening. She gazed at them in disbelief,


    “Is it, is it that Charlotte is…”


    “Please return that safety locks if possible. There are inscriptions above them which were Zain’s


    grandfather Frank Nelson had them make at a great cost.”


    Belinda felt that life was so illusory. She actually adopted a rich family’s child? And now here they


    No.


    She couldn’t just hand over Charlotte that easily.


    While thinking of this, she coughed lightly and said “You want her back, how I know if you’re telling the


    truth? That pair of safety locks do seem to be worth a lot of money. And besides, it’s not a crime to


    adopt a child from an orphanage, right? As for the rest, it was all happened after she was adopted. As


    her mother, I have the right to decide the way I treat her. Now she has grown up and you tell me she is


    the Nelson family’s daughter? Well, I won’t believe it until you proof it to me. And you won’t get that


    safety locks back.”


    Megan smiled, “I’m d that I have made myself clear.”


    Then she took out a bank card like juggling and ced it on the table, “Mrs.Wilson, thank you for taking


    care of Miss Nelson all these years. This is five million. If you are willing to return the safety locks, the


    money is all yours.”


    Belinda’s eyes lighted up as she heard that there is five million. As if all the lights were suddenly turned


    on at once in a quiet dark night.

    But soon, she took a look at Zain who was standing in front of her. And since he came in, the house


    was full of the man''s aura and even had no enough room for it. Such a wealthy man…five million?


    With these thoughts in her mind, Belinda pretended to be lofty and coughed lightly, “what do you


    mean? Five million to buy me over? Do I look like a greedy person?”


    “ording to our investigation, you owe more than 1 million gambling debts. Your husband is deeply in


    debt thanks to your debt issue. And Charlotte, your elder daughter, has already paid the debt for you in


    advance of 300 thousand, right?”


    “It looks like you’ve got everything investigated.” Said Belinda.


    “We think you’re wise enough to figure out whether the deal is worth or not. Apart from the money


    taken to pay off the gambling debts, the rest will be enough for the rest of your life.”


    “What do you mean by that?” Belinda stood up furiously, yet feared of Zain, she lowered her voice and


    said, “I have raised her for more than 20 years, now you say you wanna take her back with money?”


    “I don’t wanna involve money either. In that case, Megan.” Zain said in a sudden.


    Megan knowingly stepped forward and took the bank card back.


    “We did not prepare the money beforeing. After all, you are the one who raised Charlotte for over


    20 years. It’s hurting to settle it with money. Now that it seems you totally agree with us.”


    Belinda waspletely surprised that Megan withdrew the money.


    What’s going on here? She was intended to ask for more money, but…
