Chapter 216: 0216 I don’t owe you_1

She grew up in the Wood Family from a young age and was aware of some things through the affection of her parents.

However, she had never known the truth to be so cruel.

It turned out that Lucy Wood had been sent away, not carelessly lost by them.

If not for Lucy Wood’s luck in escaping from the human trafficker and being found by someone, her fate would have remained unknown.

Her parents didn’t feel a shred of guilt; their concerns were still focused on Daniel Wood, the son they had sent abroad.

It was Daniel Wood who had caused all the trouble in the first place.

Standing silently, she listened to her parents’ fierce argument, which was as ugly as tearing faces apart. Olivia Johnson, usually so gentle, was now crying and making a scene in front of Daniel Wood, recounting how she had lived through all these years.

Indeed, she had lived a miserable life, but that was before the birth of Edward Wood.

She faced her own pressures for not bearing a son.

After Edward Wood was born, she was triumphant. David Wood wasn’t too harsh on them, and she could live comfortably, collecting money and playing the role of a fancy lady. Now, with Ellen Young’s emergence, it felt like returning to that oppressive environment once again.

But the problem didn’t lie there; Ellen Young hadn’t said she wanted to come back. It was their own excessive meddling that led to the scandal being exposed, putting the Wood Family in a difficult position.

A listed group’s biggest fear is a major scandal, and this matter was no small issue.

Having occurred, the most frightening aspect was that it couldn’t be suppressed and would continue to cause uproar, with no one knowing how far it would go.

That the Wood Group would be affected was obvious.

Parents who discarded their biological daughter—how terrifying that must seem to people.

As they were quarreling, Daisy Wood quietly stepped aside, took out her cellphone, bit her lip, and still decided to make a call to Lucy Wood.

Seeing the incoming call from Daisy Wood, Lucy Wood couldn’t quite identify her feelings. She didn’t reject it and merely answered without speaking first.

Daisy Wood took the initiative, "Sis..."

Her voice sounded weak.

"Do you really consider me your sister?"

Lucy Wood’s tone was indifferent, revealing neither anger nor any other emotion.

Lucy Wood couldn’t say how she felt about the Wood Family now; the fact that the news had gone public only made her thankful that Olivia Johnson had, surprisingly, chosen to let her off. A family that, for the sake of a son, would discard their biological daughter, was frightening no matter how wealthy.

Before, she had been unaware of the true reason, but now that she saw Ellen Young’s situation, Lucy Wood suddenly let go of any attachment to her past life.

In one’s lifetime, some things if unobtainable, remain so. Just being alive was a fortune in itself, and she no longer desired more.

She only wished to live quietly in her circle for a few years before it all ended.

The decision to immigrate wasn’t due to anything else; standing on the same land as the Wood Family would still lead to entanglements.

Leaving was the best choice.

Daisy Wood’s heart tightened, and she stuttered, "Sis, I haven’t done anything to wrong you."

"I know of course you haven’t wronged me,"

Daisy Wood, in terms of character, wasn’t bad and hadn’t done anything wrong, but that couldn’t change the fact that she had chosen to ignore Lucy Wood’s current predicament throughout the whole affair.

"But some things don’t cease to exist just because you do or don’t do them. I understand your reasons; you didn’t want to lose your parents’ affection by siding with me, and I can understand that. But you should know, Daisy Wood, I don’t owe you anything, in fact, you owe me. I’ve spent quite a bit on you over the years. If you have something else to say, fine, but if it’s about the Wood Family, then don’t talk to me about it."
