Chapter 122: Shameless Wicked Father

‘What!’ Reese gasped for breath! She didn't expect him to reveal that Eris was his biological daughter.

Now she understood why her father cherished Eris so much.

‘‘Heck! It all makes sense now.Eris was the apple of his eye because she was his biological
daughter.He favored her whilst he ill-treated Wendy and me.At first, I thought that he was loving and
protective towards Eris because she grew up with him.But I never suspected that Eris was his
daughter.In this way, everything can be simply explained” Reese thought to herself.

"Eris is only six months younger than Wendy.You must have been with Cacia for a very long time."

Pointing an accusing, trembling finger at Ruben, Reese yelled, "You betrayed my mother!"

Ruben didn't deny it.

When her mother passed away, Reese was already a twelve-year-old sensible girl.

She was far closer to their mother than Wendy was.

Reese had fond memories of her mother's gentle, considerate and giving nature.

Irrespective of how badly Ruben behaved, she made sure that she had three square meals ready for
him every day.

Moreover, Ruben was unemployed and she bore all the household expenses from the inheritance left
to her by her father.

In spite of this, he was an ingrate.

He squandered the money that Cassie's father left her, and then cheated on her!



"Beast!"

With red eyes, she cursed.

Then she added, "No! You are worse than a beast.Even a beast treats its offspring with love.You don't
deserve the honor of being called a father or a husband! Why didn't you set my mother free if you
wanted to cavort with a loose woman? Back then my mother begged you for a divorce on numerous
occasions but you were too chicken to agree.You wanted to have your cake and to eat it.You cheated
on her and were only satisfied after killing her.I'll kill you!"

Reese screamed and pounced on Ruben.

"Bitch!"

As usual, Ruben was as alert as a sentinel.

As she pounced on him, he kicked her hard in the abdomen.

She went sprawling across the carpet.

The pain was so excruciating that she broke out in a cold sweat.

She stared at Ruben with utter resentment.

"If I am a beast, then you are a little beast! We are tailored from the same cloth!"

Ruben came over, grabbed Reese's neck and said angrily, "You are as stubborn as your mother.I gave
you a fair choice but you refused it.Now face the consequences of my wrath!"

Ruben grabbed her by the neck and tried to squeeze every little bit of air out of her.

"Urggh..."



With a muffled snort, she struggled to breathe.

She fought desperately to get out of his tight grip, but he stifled her even more.

Poor Reese was too thin to overpower this mighty mountain of a man.

Her face turned blue from breathlessness.

"You are worse than a beast!"

"Good.You still have the strength to curse.It seems as if this punishment is not enough!"

With a ferocious look, Ruben tightened his grip, suffocating her further.

"Stop!"

Ray's face changed dramatically.

He pursed his lips and snapped, "Ruben! If my aunt dies, you won't benefit at all!"

Ruben suddenly regained his senses.

He stopped at once.

Reese gasped for breath.

As soon as she could breathe smoothly again, she coughed violently.

She covered her neck and glared at Ruben.

Looking at the red finger marks on her neck, Ruben scoffed and said, "You look ugly now!"

An endless stream of tears flowed down Reese's face.



However, Ruben showed no mercy.

Reese didn't spend much time at home with her father in her pre -adolescent years.

Although she was Ruben's daughter, he was never affectionate towards her.

After her mother's death, Reese and her sister lived with their grandmother for five years.

She was already seventeen when she went back to live with Ruben.

He never loved her; he just used her.

A moment later, the door was opened from the outside by a strong man, who handed Ruben a bottle of
liquid.

He flung it in front of Reece.

"Drink it!"

After examining it, she looked up at him and asked, "What's this?"

"Just drink it!"

"No way!"

Ruben chuckled, "You still want to fight back? Stop dreaming.Drink it quickly, or you will suffer again."

Reese obstinately shrank in the corner of the room.

"You are becoming more and more disobedient.And a disobedient child must suffer at my hands."

Ruben patted his round belly and summoned the men from outside.



The two brawny men immediately entered the room.

At first, Ruben wanted the two men to pour the liquid into Reese's mouth, but when he saw Ray, he
suddenly changed his mind.

Staring at the little boy with his turbid eyes, Ruben grinned wickedly.

Reese hurriedly pulled Ray behind her.

"Ruben, keep this between us.Don't involve others!"

Ruben walked up to her, picked up the "drink"

from the ground, and threatened her, "You drink it yourself! Or, I'll ask someone to feed it to this little
bastard.Don't you just love Wendy so much? Let's see who you will choose!"

Reese trembled in fear and was filled with hatred.

She despised Ruben so much! Never did she expect to have such a shameless, wicked father! ©
Angrily, she clenched her fists.

She hated herself for not having the foresight that Wendy had about him being such a ruthless
monster.

Like Wendy, she should have cut off all ties with him a long time ago.

"Reese, make your choice."

Ruben threw the "drink" back into Reese's arms and looked at her agony.



She resembled her mother Cassie so closely! So Ruben was twice as determined to torture the hell out
of her.

His sadistic attitude could be seen in his enjoyment in tormenting Reese as if she were Cassie! Reese
shivered.

She reached out her hand, closed her eyes and held the "drink".

"Auntie!"

Ray held her hand and sobbed, "Don't!"

"Ray, don't be afraid!"

Reese gently touched Ray's head and said with a bitter smile, "Anyway, he won't kill me.He just added
some drug in this.In my twenty-nine years, I have experienced a great deal so I know that I will survive
this too."

Reese hugged Ray and felt the temperature of his body.

She calmed herself down and explained to Ray, "Before your mother came back into my life, I had no
reason to live.I felt as if there was nothing to lavish my love on.In my darkest hour, your mother
appeared like an angel and saved me.I felt overjoyed knowing that someone loves me.You and your
mother mean the world to me."

She could give her life to protect those she loved.

When Reese was about to push Raymond away, she heard him whispering in her ear, "I sent Mommy
our location.She will come to save us soon."

When they were thrown into this room, those thugs took away Reese's mobile phone.



However, because Ray was a child, they only took away his bag and did not search him further.

He was wearing a long sleeved denim coat that covered his telephone watch.

Just now, when no one was around, he had taken the opportunity to send the location to Wendy.

Reese's eyes flashed.

She then pushed Raymond away.

Thankfully she understood what Raymond meant.

She knew that as long as she could buy more time, they would be saved.

"Well, the affectionate play is over.Who on earth will drink it?"

"Dad..."

"You want to beg me now? It's too late!"

Looking at the expensive Rolex watch on his wrist, Ruben gestured to the two brawny men to take
action.

"Stop!"

Reese compromised, "I'll drink it myself!"

Upon hearing that, the two men stopped.Reese closed her eyes, unscrewed the bottle, raised her neck
and drank it.
