Chapter 57 Threats and Solutions
"Even if I leave, it won't change the fact that the DeRoss Group was founded by my mother." Haley's light and airy tone sharply contrasted with Frank's fury.
The secretaries in the corridor were too scared to make a sound, the air heavy with tension and friction.
Haley took a step forward, her cold eyes showing a slight ripple. "Father, can't you tolerate me like this?"
Frank gritted his teeth. "Since you set that fire four years ago, I haven't considered you to be my daughter."
"What if I told you that I didn't start that fire?"
"Even if it wasn't you, it still happened because of you," Frank sneered with his eyes filled with sinister intent. "You shouldn't have come back alive."
"Very well. I see how it is," Haley sneered.
At this point, the relationship between father and daughter had reached its breaking point, and any semblance of parental love had vanished. Then, she had nothing to worry about anymore.
"Dad, Haley, please stop arguing." Emily hurriedly arrived in her high heels.
She said, "The shareholder meeting is about to begin, and all the shareholders are waiting in the conference room. Your quarrel will only make others laugh, so why bother?"
Haley's sharp gaze suddenly swept over. She coldly said, "Is it worth killing for the shares I hold?"
Emily froze for a moment, then widened her eyes and shook her head. "Haley, I have no idea what you're talking about."
"It doesn't matter if you don't know. Just remember, once I have the evidence, I will personally send you to jail." Haley leaned in close to her ear, leaving behind these words, and then walked toward the conference room.
Emily tightly clenched her fists. Frank also looked furious. “How could I have raised such a daughter?"
"Dad, Haley must have sensed something. She won't let me off." Emily's voice choked.
"Yesterday, I tried to harm her, and Keith found out. Keith said that if I ever target Haley again, he won't recognize me as his mother. Dad, Keith is so smart that he will soon discover that I'm not actually his mother... I'm done for. I shouldn't have told that huge lie four years ago.
"It doesn't matter if it's just me who's in trouble, but now it's dragging down the DeRoss family. Dad, I'm the culprit of the DeRoss family." Compared to Haley's cold and tough attitude, Emily's vulnerability and tears made Frank feel like a father.
He embraced Emily's shoulders and let out a sigh, saying, "This is not your fault alone. I am also responsible for that lie. If things can't be resolved, I will voluntarily confess to the Winston family."
Emily was shocked. “Dad, what do you mean by confessing?”
"Just say that I forced you to be the mother of two children, and you have nothing to do with it." Frank said, "But it hasn't come to that point yet. I won't be so foolish to confess."
Emily's heart sank. No matter who Keith and Owen's mother was, it didn't change the fact that they were the DeRoss family's children.
