Chapter 74 The Uninvited Guest

The guard took her to Adam's place. She then took a shower and changed her clothes.

Throughout the whole process, William kept on a straight face while Mary ignored him. The two of them kept silent, as if they were secretly in battle.

The situation lasted until the two of them returned to the beach party and even after their business trip while they were on the plane.

This was the so-called "cold war" right?

Sitting on the plane, Mary curled her lips. Seeing that William behaved as if it didn't bother him at all, Mary also acted unfazed. She then closed her eyes and took a nap. She didn't know how long this cold war would last.

There was a loud humming sound over the sky of Hainan. As the plane passed through the clouds, it whizzed and roared.

Goodbye, Hainan, goodbye, this beautiful city.

Once she had returned to the company, she felt as if it had been a lifetime.

Mary bought two gifts, one for Jane and the other for Kevin.

"Wow, Mary, you are so cool!" Jane was so excited to receive a gift from Mary that she almost couldn't help but kiss her.

"Mary, thank you." Kevin received the gift and expressed his gratitude.

"You're welcome," Mary said with a smile.

"Oh, hey!" Jane said abruptly, "Mary, while you were gone, an old man came here and asked if he could see you. He visited multiple times."

"Did he tell you his name?" Mary frowned.

"Well, I heard from Anne at the reception desk that the man claimed to be your father."

Father? Her father! Mary was stunned, hatred surged in through her heart in an instant. Yes, it was hatred!

re going to use this law to get money out of me, right?"

"Mary, you..."

"This rule clearly states that a child should fulfill his or her duty to support his or her parents." Mary paused. "However, it also states that there are two conditions when parents should require their children to pay for alimony. One is old and weak, unable to work, and the other is living in difficulty. Parents who don't meet one of the two requirements have no right to ask their children to pay alimony."

"I'm your father... How can you threaten me with the legal documents? Threatening your own father!"

"You used that against me first. You said you were going to sue me, remember?" All of a sudden, Mary felt powerless.

Before all this, she had a glimmer of hope. She thought that her father came to see her because he missed her. She thought that he wanted to see her mother because he felt guilty. But the truth was, all he wanted was money! Reality is cruel!

"Mary, let's... Let's talk about it inside." William looked around and saw the crowd gathering again.

"No." Mary waved her hand dismissively. "Let him go. I have nothing else to say to him. If you want to sue me, then do it."

She then turned around and walked back.

"Mary! Mary Lu!" Jay Lu shouted to her as she turned her back, "I know you don't care about me. But what about your brother? Don't you have a heart! He's only one year old. He's diagnosed with leukemia. Please save him! Please..."

Boom!

Mary's eyes widened as she let out a small laugh. Brother? When did she have a brother? What was he talking about!
