Chapter 1136 - 1136 Eric Collins slapped her thrice

Chapter 1136: Eric Collins slapped her thrice. Chapter 1136: Eric Collins slapped her thrice. Elder Lady Collins scolded Rosalind Collins, and Rosalind could only grit her teeth and take it.

Even if Patrick Taylor was biased towards Rosalind, he didn’t dare to speak up to defend her at this moment.

“Grandma, I’m not in a good mood today, so…”

“You’re about to marry into the Thomas Family, and you’ll be the Master of Thomas Family’s wife. Do you think it’s appropriate to lose your temper and hit people just because you’re in a bad mood? How will others view you? How will they view the Collins’ Daughter?” Elder Lady Collins was so angry that it pained her liver. How could Rosalind become more childish as she grew older? She used to be such a clever and witty girl—how did she become so wilful?

“You all are forcing me to marry, but I don’t want to marry, and you know that,” Rosalind shouted loudly.

These words provoked Eric Collins to stretch out his hand and slap her again, shouting loudly, “In a couple of years, you’ll be thirty, and yet you can still naively say such things. Have all the manners you’ve learned over the years gone to the dogs?”

“The person I want to marry is my cousin, not my second cousin. You all know that very well yet you don’t help me fight for it, instead, you sacrifice me. You all claim to love, but what you love is only the benefit of the Collins’ Daughter being used in a century-old family alliance through marriage,” Rosalind yelled.

Hearing this, Eric Collins became even angrier, “But your cousin has to be willing to marry you too. He doesn’t even want the position of Master of Thomas Family, which shows how little he cares for you. As a woman, don’t you understand this point? What can you gain by marrying such a man?”

“You keep saying we don’t help you. Then tell me, how should we help you? Help you get into your cousin’s bed? Have you ever thought about who your cousin is, how capable he is? Does he have people protecting him? How much of his ruthless tactics have you seen? Do you think him being as renowned as Arnold Johnson didn’t come without reason?”

Every word Eric Collins said didn’t spare Rosalind any dignity, making her face turn instantly pale.

Of course, she knew how Grayson Thomas felt about her. It was precisely because she knew and couldn’t marry him that she resented her family for not helping her and for using her as a pawn in a marriage alliance.

Hearing her father speak to her daughter this way made Patrick Taylor’s heart hurt even more than it already was from her daughter’s interrogations.

Her treasured child, nurtured with care, was regarded as less than nothing by others.

“Enough, don’t blame Charlotte anymore. I will talk to her about this matter properly,” Elder Lady Collins declared.

Then she turned to Mia Garcia and said, “Mia, you’re pregnant now. If you’re tired, rest well; if you’re hungry, eat well. If you need anything, just tell Grandma.”

“Thank you, Grandma. I’ll go up and rest,” Mia Garcia said, sensibly leaving the area.

After all, it was inappropriate for her to hear some things.

Clearly, Elder Lady Collins didn’t want her to hear them either.

But Mia Garcia was curious now.

As soon as Mia Garcia left, Eric Collins snorted coldly and also left.

Patrick Taylor was so angry that she glared, but couldn’t utter a word, leaving the three women sitting there.

Elder Lady Collins then said to Patrick Taylor, “You go and talk to Parker. I need to talk to Charlotte.”

Hearing Elder Lady Collins say that, even if Patrick Taylor wanted to stay, she had to leave.

Elder Lady Collins sent her away, clearly wanting to speak to Charlotte alone.

After everyone else had left, Elder Lady Collins finally addressed her cherished granddaughter—whom she had lovingly raised—with some personal words…
