Chapter 2528: Chapter 2537: Stand Up and Protect Her Like a Man
He thought about it and calmed down, "Am I not telling the truth? Didn’t you take the 750 thousand from the Lawrence Family back then?"
Enna Clark pressed her lips together, staying silent for a moment.
She did take it.
But the reason she took it was entirely different from what Jacob Clark said about selling herself.
She opened her mouth, just about to reveal the whole truth when her wrist was suddenly grabbed from behind. The man who had been standing behind her stepped forward. He spoke clearly and coldly, "She took it. But that 750 thousand was pocket money I gave her, not the money for selling herself as you claimed!"
"In fact, from the moment I first saw her, I fell in love at first sight. We dated normally afterwards, but since she was young at the time, I hadn’t made our relationship public. Later, she said she wanted to study abroad and reassess our relationship, and I agreed.
But I didn’t know she used all the pocket money I gave her for her grandpa’s surgery, nor did I know that her father was a degenerate, sending her abroad without providing her any living expenses, forcing her to drop out of school at a young age and work overseas just to survive, not even having money to buy a plane ticket back home!
I couldn’t accept being dumped for the first time, so I deliberately didn’t contact her and didn’t ask about her.
I only found out later after she returned to Linton City, that she had unexpectedly become pregnant while abroad. I’m very grateful she gave birth to that child then, and likewise, I faced my feelings. Afterwards, our legitimate relationship led us to the aisle.’
Baron Lawrence narrowed his eyes like a hawk, his voice low and seductive, his thoughts clear.
"As for your so-called financial transactions, sorry, during my relationship with her, she never used my money. Those expensive gifts I gave her, apart from the ones I forced her to accept, she never wore any of them. In our two years of dating, we broke up and got back together numerous times. Every time she decided to leave, she took nothing but her own belongings.
If she were truly a woman who could be bought with money, do you think I would have chased her for eight years before getting married?
If she really could sell herself for money, she would have been the Young Madam of the Lawrence Corporation eight years ago! No one can stop me from marrying the woman I’ve decided to wed!
And as for you, you know what you’ve done. If I were you, after committing such unspeakable acts, I’d be too ashamed to show up here today, using the so-called biological father as leverage in front of so many people. Jacob Clark, do you think she’s doing well without you exploiting her for everything? Do you think she owes you something?"
Jacob Clark was left speechless by his word-for-word rebuttal. From the suddenly changed whispers around him, he already felt his position eroding. He angrily flushed and said, "Isn’t that right? I’m her biological father. She marries into a wealthy family and yet swallows up my company, leaving me to work laboriously abroad just to barely make a living. If that’s not cold-blooded, heartless, ungrateful, then what is? If I’d known she was this kind of person, I shouldn’t have brought her into this world and raised her back then!"
"Do you remember what you’ve done?" Baron Lawrence glanced at him and the cowering Juliet Jordan nearby, brutally ripping off his flimsy cover-up, "You murdered someone."
