Chapter 1459: Chapter 1373: Consider it as repaying the nurturing grace of the Lawrence family towards you

I don’t have a ruthless and heartless sister like you. I know you’ve become the daughter of the White family now, so you must look down on the Lawrence family. In your eyes, the Lawrence family is just a shameful part of your past. Don’t you just wish you could completely cut ties with us and never have any contact with us again?"

"Ha, Dad shouldn’t have been softhearted back then to take in you, the ungrateful wretch."

Joanna listened expressionlessly as her sister spoke, looking at her coldly.

Annie stared back at her, her eyes full of hatred and unwillingness: "Do you think you’ve won completely now? Do you think your life will always be smooth like this? The wheel of fortune turns, and I’m waiting for the day when you suffer bad luck and become destitute!"

Joanna didn’t care about Annie’s words.

For her, Annie was a completely unimportant person.

Since she was unimportant, Joanna wouldn’t take her to heart.

Her focus was on Benjamin’s attitude.

After Annie said those words, Benjamin remained silent and made no public commitment. Joanna understood his attitude then.

His silence meant that he agreed with Annie’s words too.

He may also think that his daughter is an ungrateful wretch and has raised her for nothing.

Now that she is back with the White family and has a better supporter, she may want to break away from the Lawrence family.

At that moment, Joanna felt both amused and pitiful.

She didn’t even bother to explain any further.

With Annie and Rose Liall by Benjamin’s side, it was hard to say how they had been brainwashing him. Combined with his own doubts, once the seed of distrust took root and sprouted in his heart, it would become very difficult for him to trust her again.

Her heart filled with cold disappointment.

She didn’t want to stay around to face him and Annie any longer.

"Feel free to think what you want. I have other matters to attend to; I don’t have time to waste here with you."

After saying that, Joanna didn’t greet her father and turned around to leave.

"Joanna."

She had only walked a few steps when she heard Benjamin’s voice, slightly indifferent and distant.

Joanna’s face changed, she clenched her lips and stopped in her tracks.

"Regardless of whether you’re still willing to acknowledge me as your father, you were raised in the Lawrence family. I dare not say that I’ve provided you with a better life, but the years you’ve spent in the Lawrence family haven’t been too bad, have they? It’s not enough compared to the best, but it’s more than enough compared to the worst."

"Over the years, I’ve never asked you to do anything for me. This time, as repayment for the kindness the Lawrence family has shown you during your upbringing, let your sister go."

"I heard that you had people block her? Your sister made many mistakes, but by blocking her, aren’t you destroying her entire career? Your sister is still young; even if you want to punish her, isn’t this punishment too heavy?"

Joanna stood still, her hands by her side slightly clenched.

She heard Benjamin say, "Let your sister go, and we’ll consider your debt to the Lawrence family settled. Don’t worry, you can live peacefully as the White family’s daughter; no one from the Lawrence family will disturb you. I, Benjamin Lawrence, am not one to cling to power and wealth. Whether you’re the daughter of the White family or have an even more prestigious identity, it means nothing to me."

Joanna’s figure stiffened, and she remained silent.

After a long while, she finally spoke with a hoarse voice, "Dad, is that really what you think?"

"If I let Annie go, my ties with the Lawrence family will be severed?"
