Chapter 2125: Chapter 2120: I can’t do this thing

So, can you give dad some face and not be so petty with her?"

"From now on, we will be a good family. I will discipline Annie properly and never let her do any bad things again."

Rose Liall had put a bug in Benjamin’s ear.

Although Benjamin knew that Annie had done some bad things, she was still his biological daughter, and he couldn’t just give up on her.

Joanna, though an adopted daughter.

But Benjamin knew very well that Joanna was very filial to him.

So he decided to plead for Annie.

Benjamin thought this would be the last time.

If Annie messed up again in the future, he would not care about anything.

Joanna held her wine glass and listened to Benjamin’s words, a hint of disappointment passing through her eyes.

Her heart also grew colder.

She felt that if Benjamin was still pleading for Annie under the circumstances where he knew everything, it was truly chilling to her.

She pursed her lips and was silent for a few seconds before asking, "Dad, you want me to forgive Annie. But do you know what she has done to me?"

Benjamin was taken aback and looked at Joanna’s face. After hesitating for a moment, he said cautiously, "I know some of it."

"You know, and you still want me to forgive her?"

This time, Joanna did not give Benjamin any face and directly said coldly, "Dad, if you ask me to do anything else, as long as I can help, I will do my best."

"But this is something I can’t do."

"No matter how tolerant and magnanimous I am, I can’t pretend that nothing happened after being repeatedly harmed and plotted against. If you think I’m petty or lack humanity, then I really can’t fulfill your request."

Benjamin’s face stiffened, and he didn’t speak for a moment.

He thought that Joanna would not refuse.

He had helped plead the last time too.

But paradoxically, even if Joanna refused, he couldn’t say anything.

Because he knew very well that Annie had indeed gone too far.

It was only normal for Joanna not to be willing to forgive.

On the other hand, Rose Liall was suddenly worried when she saw Joanna’s attitude.

She had originally thought that today was Benjamin’s birthday.

On such a day, if Benjamin pleaded, Joanna should not refuse.

Unexpectedly, Joanna not only refused, but she also refused very bluntly.

She didn’t give Benjamin any face at all.

If it had been in the past, Rose Liall would have already started cursing.

But now, how could she dare?

Joanna was no longer someone she could offend.

Just one word from Joanna now would be enough to make them suffer.

Rose Liall didn’t dare to offend, so she could only try to please.

She immediately turned her head and signaled to Annie with her eyes, even pushing Annie a little.

On the other hand, she smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Joanna, Annie is young and ignorant and has made some mistakes. Her dad has said that we have actually punished her already, and she won’t dare to do anything rash again in the future."

"You are a generous person, so try not to be so hard on her, would you?"

"I’ll make Annie apologize to you right away."

As she spoke, she pretended to be stern and said in a cold voice, "Annie, aren’t you going to apologize to Joanna and make a promise that you’ll never anger her again?"

Annie clenched her lips, her face full of unwillingness, as if she was being forced to go to battle and die.
