Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
In the Miller residence, Jonathan and Old Master Miller were sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor. Their hair was messy and they exuded a dispirited aura. The previously luxurious vi was in a mess now. All the valuable things had been moved away.
Jonathan’s face was covered in stubble and he looked haggard. Old Madam Miller, who was at the side, cried andined, “Son, how dare you borrow from so many loan sharks? What should we do? Boohoo…” The day Jonathan was beaten and hospitalized, the Miller family went bankrupt. All their real estate was sealed by the bank, including this vi. How could they live?
Old Master Miller scolded angrily: “Cry, cry, cry, all you do is cry! If you had known it would end up like this, why didn’t you treat Amelia better in the past?”
Old Madam Miller cried while retorting: “All you do is scold me, but what about you? You’re Amelia’s grandfather, and I’ve never seen you treat her well!”
Jonathan was irritated by the noise. He shouted, “Alright, shut up!” He was already annoyed enough! Thepany went bankrupt overnight and the court intervened in the investigation. He might face jail time. He would be in jail for the rest of his life. Why were these people still arguing!
Both the old man and the olddy shut their mouths. The two of them were immensely regretful. If they treated Amelia better in the past, how would they fall to this point? They might’ve been able to borrow the power of the Walton family and soar to the top!
At the thought of Amelia, the olddy of the Miller family gritted her teeth. “That brat Amelia, after getting the backing of the Walton family, she doesn’t want toe home, right?” Ungrateful ingrate, they were her grandparents! Even if they made mistakes in the past, she should be understanding. Besides, they didn’t do anything wrong, it was Amelia who pushed Reba down the stairs first, making Reba suffer a miscarriage. At such a young age, she was already able tomit such heinous acts, were they wrong to punish her?
At this time, Reba walked downstairs and said in a gentle voice, “Mom, Dad, Honey, don’t worry. Mia will definitelye back…” She held a doll in her hand, which was Mia’s kitten doll. “Mom, Dad, don’t worry. Mia left her doll at home. She’lle back for it.’
Other people didn’t know how important this kitten doll was to her, but Reba knew that it was the only thing her short-lived mother had left for her. That brat held it in her arms every day and didn’t let it go even when she was receiving hard beatings. Reba still remembered that no matter how hard she hit her, she wouldn’t cry. Later, she got angry and took the kitten doll and cut off its ear, and Amelia immediately began crying.
Jonathan looked at the tattered doll in Reba’s hand and asked with a frown, “Are you sure she’lle back?” He didn’t quite believe it. What was there to miss about a tattered doll?
Reba smiled gently. “Hubby, you usually don’t have time to apany Mia. Of course you wouldn’t know that she likes this kitten doll. Her mother left it for her. Mia treasures it very much and won’t let it leave her side for a moment.”
Old Madam Miller thought for a second. That truly seemed to be the case, that brat Amelia hugged the doll everyday. She didn’t even leave it when going to the bathroom. Thinking of this, she said with anticipation: “Great, I hope she cane back!” As long as shees back, they would be able to turn the tables. A three year old child, all they needed was a little coaxing.
Reba lowered her eyes to hide her excitement. She was very sure that
Amelia woulde back. Besides the kitten doll, she also had a very important
“friend” here, a parrot. Nobody knew which family had lost the parrot, but
Amelia arranged for it to stay in the woods behind the Miller family’s vi.
Normally, no one could get close to the parrot, and the parrot would only appear when she went there. This was also why Reba was so sure Amelia would definitelye back. Someone else coulde get the kitten doll, but only Amelia could bring the parrot away.
Reba leaned on Jonathan’s shoulder and said gently, “I just sewed up the broken parts of the doll and washed it. Mia will definitely be happy when shees back and sees it.”
Jonathan hugged Reba happily. “Thank you for your hard work. You’re so kind. I’ll make it up to you when ourpany makes aeback.”
Reba leaned into Jonathan’s arms and said fakely, “I don’t want anypensation. I just want to share your burden, Hubby..”
