Chapter 522: Chapter 521: No matter how much you heard, forget it immediately

No matter how miserable the Lawrence family was, she, Annie Lawrence, was still a hundred, a thousand times better than a wild child from an orphanage.

But if Joanna’s real origins turned out to be better than hers, then she would lose the only place where she had an edge over her.

How could she accept that?

Benjamin looked at her distorted, hideous face, his expression suddenly changing, and his tone coldening as he warned, "This has nothing to do with you. No matter how much you’ve heard, forget it right now, and never mention it again."

The more he defended Joanna, the more Annie hated and envied her. She clenched her teeth and spat resentfully, "Why can’t it be mentioned? Are her biological parents murderers? That’s why her real background is so disgraceful."

"Shut up! She’s your sister, she’s our child. If I ever hear such nonsense again, I won’t let you off the hook." Benjamin’s anger flared up instantaneously.

"Dad, you’re biased!" Annie roared with tears welling up in her eyes, "I’m the one who’s your real daughter. What’s so good about Joanna? Why do you treat that wild girl who has no blood ties to you better than me? Why?!"

Hearing the words "wild girl," the veins in Benjamin’s forehead bulged. He raised his hand, wanting to slap her face, but when his gaze fell on her pale face, he remembered that she was still ill.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, and retracted his hand. Gritting his teeth, he said, "That’s your sister, not some wild girl. You dare ask me why? If it weren’t for your shameless snatching of David, would Joanna have broken up with him?"

"If she hadn’t broken up with David, she would have married into the Benington family. David’s parents have always been satisfied with her and had acknowledged her as their daughter-in-law quite early on. But now, with what has happened, David may have other thoughts, and his parents are even more reluctant to accept you."

"If he really breaks up with you, you better be prepared to cry."

The more Benjamin spoke, the more frustrated he became, his chest heaving violently as his anger intensified.

"It’s because David doesn’t like her anymore. What does that have to do with me?" Annie’s eyes were also red with anger, as she murmured defiantly, "It’s her lack of ability that she can’t even hold onto a man. Why blame me? If David really loved her and had her in his heart, no one else would have a chance to snatch him away."

Benjamin’s finger was trembling as he pointed at her, furious beyond words, "You shameless! You actually think you’re in the right!"

Annie, tears streaming down her face, sneered without conceding, "I’m just stating the facts. If it weren’t for me, other women would have come sooner or later. By being with David, at least we can keep things within the family and help out the Lawrence family."

"Dad, since you think I’m shameless and have wronged Joanna, why don’t you let me break up with David? After all the talk, you’re still afraid that if I break up with him, the Lawrence family will be completely ruined. From this perspective, Joanna is not that important in your heart and can’t compare to your own interests."

"You..."

"Stop fighting, both of you." Rose Liall, heartbroken for her daughter, pulled Annie into her embrace and looked at Benjamin with a pitiful expression, "Sir Darren, Annie just woke up from unconsciousness, and she was just pregnant. Can’t you just show some compassion for your daughter and say less?"
