A Ruling Passion – Chapter 1460

Aery leaned against the head of the bed and protested. “What are you doing? My leg hurts. Can’t you be gentle? Am I your daughter?”

“If you work with an outsider, you’re no daughter of mine!” Helen snapped icily, “Answer me, did you give money to your dad?”

Aery averted her gaze. “N-no... Why do you ask? I didn’t speak to him at all. We haven’t seen each other for a long time now, how can I possibly give him money? Will you calm down?”

Helen refused to believe it. She pulled Aery’s wallet out. “You card. All I need to do is check your account, and I’ll know. You better reconsider. Are you going to come clean or do you want to go through your accounts before I deal with you?”

Aery instantly looked like a deflated balloon. “It... It was me. Yes, I gave him money. I pitied him, okay? He just got out of jail and has no money for food. I only gave him the money you usually give me for my daily expenses and allowance. I saved the money, I have a right to spend it the way I want, don’t I? He’s still my dad, at the end of the day. He raised me when I was a kid, I’ll take care of him in his old age. The huge grudge between both of you has nothing to do with me. I can’t abandon him. Do you have to be angry with me because of that?”
