Chapter 99 We Won't
"Shut up!" John roared.
Becca's tears fell. She clenched her fists and could not stop trembling.
It turned out to be like this...When she was a child, she saw Laura's grandparents coming to visit her family. She had also asked John where her grandparents were. However, every time, he would vaguely say that her mother had severed ties with her family. She did not expect that they had ended up like this.
"Who is Becca's father?" Kelvin was much calmer than Becca and continued to ask.
When John saw that things had been uncontrollable, he could only let out a long sigh.
"I don't know who her biological father is." John glanced at Becca and said, "When Joe married me, she had been pregnant for three months. At that time, I was still working in the Bush family's company in Northern Yuan. Originally, I wanted to go home to get married, but one night, Joe suddenly found me and said that if I married her and gave her and the child a birthright, she would give me the wealth that I could never make in my life. I was also possessed, so I abandoned my fiancée and became a Green daddy."
"Joe and I got married. Mr. Bush and Mrs. Bush were so disappointed with her that they broke off their relationship with her and gave her a sum of money. She came to South City with me, and we got married here. She was a young lady from a big family and was very good at doing business. She started with the money given by her family to establish the construction team. She did things though she was pregnant. In less than two years, the company began to develop rapidly. But... I was young and arrogant at that time. Although she married me, we had never been husband and wife properly. Maria... I felt guilty about her. When she came to South City to find me, we had Laura..."
"You have been married to her for so many years. Has she never told you about Becca's father?" Kelvin looked at Becca beside her and found her eyes turning red. This news was probably another heavy blow to her.
"She is meticulous and calm. I asked her before, but she never revealed anything." John answered.
"Then how did my mother die?" Becca's voice was weak. "If your marriage is just a deal, if she doesn't love you, why would she get depression and commit suicide because of your betrayal?"
"She has got depression before she married me." John's heart ached. "When she was in the Garcia family, I had never seen her smile. She has always known about the existence of Laura. Aunt Maria and I were able to take Laura back to the Garcia family because we promised her to keep your lineage a secret. She never took my affairs seriously. How could she commit suicide because of us?" Becca was speechless.
They were wrong... So they were all wrong...
The mistress whom she had always thought was not a mistress. The enemy she supposed who had killed her mother was not her enemy...
Then she had lived in vain for so many years...
"Do you understand now? We didn't do anything wrong! Your mother made a will. As long as we keep your lineage secret, all the property of the Garcia Family will belong to us! For so many years, no matter how big the contradiction is, we will keep our mouths shut and not tell you. You ungrateful person, you are pressing us step by step. Not only are you not grateful to us, but you also hurt Laura like this!" Maria burst into tears.
"Who else knows about this?" Becca's face was pale.
"This is disgraceful. Apart from you and Aunt Maria, only your grandfather and grandmother know about it." John replied guiltily, "However, your mother had a lawyer named Victor Dewey by her side back then. He was also promoted by your mother and was the legal representative of Garcia Enterprise. The will was also taken by him to testify."
"Where is he?" Becca asked again. At that time, Becca was still young. When her mother passed away, she was only eight years old. Her mother never brought work home, so Becca didn't know much about the people around her mother.
"After your mother died, he went abroad. I don't know where he is now." John shook his head.
The hope that rose in Becca had shattered again.
"After saying so much, will you let Laura go or not?" Maria urged her. "Now you know that the Garcia family doesn't owe you anything. I've raised you for so long and given you the life with dignity of the Garcia family's eldest daughter. You should have returned something, right?"
Becca didn't know what to say.
John did raise her up, but since her mother died, there was no one to
el.i
protect her. She was completely an outsider in the Garcia family. She had never enjoyed family affection or family happiness. What had happened recently made her feel even more disappointed. She admitted that she had not done anything wrong to the Garcia family, but no matter what happened to the people of the Garcia family, they would only blame her.
"Laura's behavior is already against the law. I can only guarantee that I won't add insult to injury. As for her ending, I can't decide."
"You..."Maria was about to curse when Kelvin coughed softly.
He glanced at John and Maria and said lightly.
"You raised Becca because of her mother's kindness. For so many years, you have all enjoyed the company and wealth her mother left behind. It is a deal. Since it is a deal, there is no need to involve anything else."
"The Garcia Group is already at the
end of its rope. Without the help of the Heyday Group, it would only end up in bankruptcy. Becca left 30 shares for Mr. Garcia. In the future, as long as the Garcia Group exists, it will always have dividends, which can be considered to have fulfilled her filial piety over the years. And I believe that land was indeed left by Becca's mother. My mother-in-law is thoughtful and will definitely leave some things for Becca. So, it is not too much to take it back today."
"So according to what you said, we owe each other nothing?" Maria rolled her eyes.
"Although you raised her, you didn't treat her as your own daughter. Otherwise, you wouldn't have blamed her. Laura's matter is due to her own fault, and you didn't give her proper guidance as parents. Becca has never done any harm to anyone, so..."
"We won't carry the can." Kelvin chuckled and got up.
Seeing that Kelvin was about to leave, John also became anxious and turned her attention to Becca. "Becca, say it yourself. What do you think? Will you being so ungrateful, don't care about your sister?" "Although we are not related by blood, we are still a family. Can't you let her live for our 22 years' life in one family?"
Becca lowered her head and smiled, but her smile was full of bitterness.
With tears in her eyes, she looked up at John.
If he did not mention the 22 years, she might still have had some compassion. However, what he said evoked all the past that hurt her in her mind.
She glanced at everything in the room. It was here that she had secretly watched the family of five live happily countless times. As Joe's daughter, she had always been called ignorant.
She was also so eager to be loved.
"I didn't understand why I couldn't get along well with you even though we were a family." Becca raised his hand, wiped his tears, and suddenly smiled with relief.
"Now, everything makes sense. For parents and elders like you, you can't teach a child like me, who has a better sense than facial features."
John's face became extremely long.
Becca looked up and smiled at Kelvin. "Honey, let's go home."
Kelvin stroked her hair, navigated her wheelchair, and walked to the door.
"Becca!" Maria was about to follow her, but Bill stood in front of her.
"Mrs. Garcia." Bill bowed respectfully
to her and said, "You'd better not waste time on Mr. Lewis and Mrs. Lewis. Miss Garcia has already arrived at The Davis. If you go
meet Mr. Davis at this time to repent, he may be able to give Miss Garcia a chance to live."
