A bitter smile crossed Lindsey’s face.
Seeing that Lindsey wasn’t paying attention, Benny shouted, “Can’t you be less of a worry, just like Shelia? She’s not my blood, yet she helps the family.
She’s marrying into the Perry family, one of the top four families in the town, bringing honor to our family.
Shelia is outstanding.
And you, what else can you do besides getting on my nerves?”
Lindsey sneered.
“You know Shelia isn’t your real daughter.
Aren’t you scared Kendra will kick you out once Shelia marries into the Perry family? When Shelia and Kendra are joyful then, what about you?
Will you be alone forever?”
Kendra’s eyes flickered and she was shocked that Lindsey had guessed her thoughts.
But until her daughter married into the Perry family, she needed to keep Benny stable.
“Lindsey, I’ve loved your father for years.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
I wouldn’t do such a thing.
Maybe you’re just jealous of Shelia.
So you’re trying to cause trouble,” Kendra retorted.
Lindsey nced at the two frustrated individuals before her with a nonchnt expression.
“What does she have that should make me feel jealous? Do you honestly believe Jacob will marry her? Don’t be too gullible, Kendra.
Do you know the kind of person your daughter is?
What makes her deserve to be called Mrs.
Perry?”
“Hey!” Kendra was rendered speechless by Lindsey’s words.
Rage colored her face as she clung to Benny, tears welling up.
“Look at what your daughter is doing, Benny.
If we allow her to run thepany now, it’ll be a money pit in the future.
Marrying into the Perry family isn’t a walk in the park for Shelia.
Should Shelia ask the Perry family for financial help Lindsey in the future?”
Kendra was firm in her stance against Lindsey’s business venture.
Whether thepany lost or made money, it spelled trouble for her.
As for Benny, he was patiently awaiting Shelia’s marriage into the Perry family, hoping to secure some funds to rescue his failingpany.
As for Lindsey, it would be best if she didn’t hinder him or create more problems.
“You have to shut down yourpany today.
” Benny signaled to the group of people he had brought along.
“Start now.
”
These men, tall and intimidating, clearly weren’t to be messed with.
Benny had hired them for intimidation.
Now, following Benny’smand, they charged ahead, poised to wreck everything in Lindsey’spany.
Lindsey, however, gazed calmly at Benny and Kendra.
“Feel free to break things if that’s your fancy.
My ce is equipped with a top-notch security system that’s got every inch covered.
Your every step is being documented, and it already rang up the police.
They’ll be here in no time.
”
Upon hearing this, those men halted in their movements.
They exchanged worried nces and didn’t dare to advance any further.
Benny found himself taken aback by the presence of such a sophisticated and clever security system.
Systems like these came with a hefty price tag and were typically reserved for big corporations.
How in the world did Lindsey manage to afford it?
“Lindsey, if you’re set on running thispany, I’ll cut all ties with you as your father from this very moment.
” Benny had to resort to using their father-daughter rtionship as a threat against Lindsey.
He doubted that Lindsey would truly cut ties with him.
“Dad, it just dawned on me that Mom’s decision to divorce you was a smart move.
” Lindsey was already quite disheartened, but Benny had a knack for adding to her disappointment.
Lindsey had never seriously considered cutting ties with Benny because she didn’t want to y into Kendra’s wicked ns.
However, at this moment, Lindsey couldn’t help but feel that her determination was almost a joke.
She had always had her family on her mind, but Benny had never given much thought to her.
In that case.
“Fine, then go ahead and cut the ties.
”
Lindsey’s tone remained t, and her face remained unchanged, but inside, it felt as if a heavy hand was squeezing her heart with pain.
