Chapter 773 You Have to Help Me
"I speak my mind, unlike you, pretending to be a dutiful daughter. I can't stand you acting and deceiving my husband," Elara said, her neck stiff.
"Earlier, you were arguing so fiercely, shouting about severing the father-daughter relationship. Now that it's time to divide the inheritance, oh, you're playing the dutiful daughter."
Aaron had warned her several times, but he always defended Juniper. She couldn't swallow her anger and just wanted to curse her, curse her to death.
"Enough! If you don't want to eat, then get out."
"I'm also a part of this family, your legally wedded wife, Mrs. Cooper of the Cooper family. Why should I leave? The one who should leave is her!" Elara glared angrily at Juniper.
"You—"
"I don't want to argue with you in front of my dad. If you want to argue, let's do it another time and place. I'll accompany you to the end."
Juniper had never lost an argument, especially when she was in the right. What did she have to fear?
"Mom," Saffron tugged at Elara's sleeve under the table, whispering, "Stop talking."
Aaron then changed the subject and asked about the wedding.
"When are you two getting married? Saffron is already four months pregnant, her belly is so big, how much longer are you going to delay?"
Aaron had always been dissatisfied with Douglas because of this matter. He already had a poor impression of him, always jumping between his two daughters.
Now in a bad mood, his tone towards Douglas was even harsher.
He never liked him, but now that Saffron was pregnant, he had no choice.
"This month is busy, maybe next month," Douglas evaded.
Saffron felt a sting in her heart. She knew Douglas was waiting for the test results next week.
She had known from the beginning, but her emotions had accumulated over time, filling her with resentment.
What did Douglas take her for!
"I've heard this several times, next month, always next month. Douglas, I know what you're thinking. For us, the Cooper family, whether it's a boy or a girl, it's my grandchild, no difference. My daughter is not a tool for you to have a son, get that straight!" Aaron was extremely disgusted by this behavior.
He continued, "So what if it's a girl? Look at our Juniper, isn't she excellent? Better than any man."
"I don't see what's so excellent about her," Elara said sourly. "Just three months without spending your money, and she's excellent? Didn't she used to just swipe your card and shop like crazy?"
"At least she's always been independent, much better than you. You're the one who can't do anything but spend money. The monthly bills are so high!"
"So what if I spend some money?" Elara retorted. "I take care of this house every day, isn't that hard work? Do you see me as a servant? Just work and not spend money? Aaron, how can you be so stingy?"
"You spend millions of dollars a month and call me stingy?"
"I dress up, do maintenance, buy clothes, all for you, not for myself! If I turned into a poor, ugly woman, you'd despise me for making you lose face!" Elara argued.
Aaron was ten years older than her. She married him for money, for a good life, to make others envious.
But now her ambition was more than that. She wanted the Cooper Group.
Only by holding the money in her own hands would she feel secure and have a continuous flow of money.
"Dad, don't argue with her, your health is important," Juniper said gently.
"You're the one who cares about me."
"She cares about you? The one who argued with you the most and shouted about severing the father-daughter relationship was her!" Elara pointed at Juniper.
"Didn't you often say she made you so angry you could have a stroke? Aaron, have you forgotten all those things?"
"I said if you want to argue, I'll accompany you privately, don't argue in front of my dad," Juniper said with a heavy expression.
"You just pretend to be good in front of him, behind his back..."
Juniper interrupted her with a cold smirk, "Is it necessary? Whether in front of my dad or behind his back, I equally dislike you. I've never hidden my dislike for you, have I?"
Her mouth was really sharp, especially sexy when she was arguing.
Douglas stared at her red lips moving, feeling particularly tempted.
If only he could taste this fiery rose, it would be amazing.
He had already imagined many ways to forcefully get Juniper, including drugging her.
If he couldn't sleep with her in this life, Douglas felt he would die with regret.
Saffron, on the side, was burning with jealousy.
She didn't want to admit it, but Juniper was stunningly beautiful, even when cursing, she exuded a dazzling charm that no man could resist.
Douglas' gaze was undisguised, staring straight at Juniper as if Saffron didn't even exist.
Before Saffron got pregnant, he was quite interested in her, but since she started gaining weight from the pregnancy, his attitude towards her completely changed, avoiding her. She often took the initiative, but he always rejected her.
As she got fatter, Douglas despised her even more. Even when she hugged his arm, he would pull his hand away.
His ambition for Juniper contrasted sharply with his disdain for her, making Saffron feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.
She couldn't wait any longer. Tonight, she was going to send that bitch Juniper to hell!
Her heart had turned completely ruthless.
This meal was very unpleasant, but Juniper was used to it. With Elara and Saffron around, when could there be peace?
"Dad, I'll get you a blanket."
As soon as Juniper went upstairs, Saffron seized the opportunity and followed her.
She called out to Juniper in the hallway.
"Stop right there!"
"Juniper!"
"Stop!" Saffron grabbed Juniper. "You're too arrogant, how dare you talk to my mom like that!"
"Arrogant? Are you even human?" Juniper's mocking smile was so lively and beautiful, further stinging Saffron's jealous nerves. "You're just a bunch of leeches sucking off the Cooper family."
"My mom has been married to Dad for so long, you've never treated us as family."
"No, not for a moment," Juniper said firmly. "You're just after the money, a bunch of disgusting parasites."
Juniper said with disgust, "Every moment, I want to kick you out."
"You..." Saffron shivered.
Given the current situation, with Aaron protecting Juniper, it was very likely he would give her the will, and they could really face being kicked out.
Saffron swallowed hard. "You were just flirting with Douglas in front of me. Are you trying to steal him?"
"Saffron, did pregnancy make you stupid? Douglas is trash, and only a garbage can like you would take him. I feel disgusted just looking at him."
"You... Juniper, what makes you so proud?"
"What makes me proud? I'm the heir to the Cooper family, I'm prettier than you, I'm independent and excellent, while you're just a pathetic creature who can only get married by having a son. I live more freely, with more dignity and backbone than you."
"Saffron, relying on a man won't end well, especially when you're relying on a scumbag." Juniper's mocking gaze fell on Saffron's belly. "You're carrying a girl, aren't you?"
"Yes, it's a girl, so I can't let her live. Dear Juniper, you have to help me..." Saffron suddenly smiled eerily.
