Chapter 96 The Profit-Driven Oliver and Simon
'Stick together? He really said that? Did he forget everything he did to her? Now he's saying they're family. How absurd!'
She laughed, dripping with sarcasm. "Family now? When I’m useful, we’re family. When I’m not, I’m ungrateful, right?"
Victoria's sharp words left Oliver and Simon looking embarrassed.
They underestimated how disappointed Victoria was with the Kennedy family. She had long given up on them, on so-called affection, on fatherly love—she didn’t need any of it anymore.
When she needed their love, they made her lose hope, bit by bit.
Victoria sneered, "Why should I help Clara? I have no obligation to her! When you chose Clara, I was no longer part of the Kennedy family. I don’t owe you anything!"
"How dare you! Don’t forget you still bear the Kennedy name!" Simon roared.
Victoria shot back, "When you blamed me without asking questions, when you sent me abroad to fend for myself, did you think I was part of the family? No, you only thought about your own interests!"
Her words left Oliver and Simon speechless.
"Since you abandoned me, what does the Kennedy family’s honor have to do with me?" Victoria continued.
Oliver didn’t expect her resentment to be so deep, but he still put the family’s interests first.
Seeing him about to speak, Victoria cut him off. "From birth to age five, everything I had was from my mother. After she died, did the Kennedy family ever pay for my expenses or tuition? No, everything I had was from my mother. And you still want to take it and give it to Clara, the illegitimate child. On what grounds? Every time you were biased, I wondered if I was really a Kennedy! What kind of father and grandfather oppresses their own daughter and granddaughter? I haven’t wronged the Kennedy family. You acted like I was some kind of disease. What kind of family does that?"
Her words stabbed Oliver and Simon right in the heart.
She was like a devil from hell, her hostility gripping everyone’s throat.
Simon shouted, "Who gave you the right to speak to your elders like this!"
Victoria just glared at him.
"Calling you back today isn’t for discussion. Whether you want to help or not, you have to! This concerns Clara’s future and the Kennedy family’s reputation!" Oliver dropped the pretense of being kind.
Their reactions were chilling. They only saw their own interests, trying to force her. Did they think she was a rabbit waiting to be slaughtered? Ridiculous!
Her cold eyes were sharp as blades, filling the hall with tension.
"Fine, let her kneel and beg me. If I’m in a good mood, I might consider it!" Victoria said coldly.
