Chapter 112: The 'Truth'

"Well, I don't think we can hide it from you anyway, so I'll just say it. After that day, I realized that I love Emilia."

Even though he had that hunch, Mr. White had of course subconsciously been trying his best to deny it. After all, how could he accept it?

Unfortunately, this was still not the worst news that his eldest was planning to give him today.

"Emilia too…"

Mr. White was very glad that he wasn't a heart patient, because he was sure that Samantha was determined to try her best to give him a heart attack today.

"We like each other."

Or maybe he wasn't so glad. Maybe it would have been better if he really was a heart patient, so he could hide in a hospital after a heart attack, and no one would dare scold him later.

Because otherwise, his wife was surely going to kill him.

And much to Samantha's exasperation, Mr. White fainted once more.

Of course, another splash to his face brought him back just like last time, and his 'nightmare' continued.

Thankfully, Samantha didn't send any more 'shocking news' his way, and allowed him some time to digest what just happened.

The more Mr. White thought about it, the more he was filled with regret.

Not only had both his daughters been fucked by the same pervert that he had sent himself, they also realized their 'love for each other' after being intimate together.

If he hadn't sent that pervert over, wouldn't this never have happened?

He remained silent for nearly half an hour, and Samantha continued to stare at him in apprehension.

Although she had already made some preparations in case things went south, both Emilia and herself were really banking on their father's usual attitude to tide them through this 'crisis'. If he really reacted in a way they didn't expect, things were sure to get tough.

Eventually, the man couldn't help but let out an exhausted sigh, and Samantha finally let out a breath of relief as well. As long as her father remained 'rational', things were still going their way.

And indeed, Mr. White had really thought about many things. He wanted to punish Randy, teaching him a lesson he could never forget. He wanted to punish Samantha, for ruining not just Emilia's life, but her own as well. And he even wanted to punish Emilia, for being a brainless little idiot who just went with the flow.

Would she fall in love with any Tom, Dick, and Harry who was sent her way? Did she not have a brain to think with?

To think he had been so proud of her results just earlier, those were clearly just from rote memorization! If she had any actual intelligence, would she fall for Amos, Randy, and Samantha, all one after another, as soon as they confessed?

It was more like she just thought whatever was proposed to her was always a good idea. A true example of idiocy.

Unfortunately, no matter how stupid she was, she was still his dearest daughter. How could he not protect her? How could he not forgive her?

When it really came down to it, he didn't even have the courage to go and scold her, because in a way, all of these pits his poor Emilia had fallen into, were all dug by him.

He couldn't confess to Emilia, but he couldn't bear to keep it in his heart anymore, either.

Mr. White sighed. "You know, Samantha… I know that although you confessed to me so frankly, you must be feeling a heavy burden in your heart. After all, that is your sister…"

Samantha gulped.

Her father held his forehead in exhaustion. "Actually, I have a confession to make as well. To be honest, my actions have hurt her much more than you have, and much more than you ever will…"

Samantha couldn't help but feel a little guilty. After all, it was all just lies meant to dissuade her father. "D-Dad…"

"Quiet! Let me speak."

Seeing how his daughter was shocked into silence by his stern attitude, he nodded. "When I think about it, I was actually afraid of the Black Tiger's rise to the top, and feared that when the day came that it grew to be larger than even the merged 'White Deer', our future will only turn darker and darker…"

"Heh, it's foolish, isn't it? After all, even if we remain the second for an eternity while Black Tiger becomes the one on top, that doesn't mean we'll just die… And I was in such a rush to give away my youngest child into that wolf's den, just to avoid being the 'leader' who couldn't even keep a behemoth like White Deer at the topmost position… absolutely foolish."

"After all, why does it even matter… Ahahaha…"

Samantha didn't interrupt him, but inwardly, she couldn't help but agree. It didn't matter to her whether they were in the first or second position in the corporate rankings of the country. Wasn't her little sister's happiness more important?

However, she also didn't think that the Black Tiger would just let them be once they actually became even stronger.

After all, weren't they giving them so much trouble already? It was bound to only get worse and worse as Black Tiger's strength grew.

Once they were in an inferior position, who knew what those bastards will really do?

Can they be trusted to allow them a way out when the time came? Samantha didn't think so at all.

However, that was a matter for another time, because she still had to get a 'positive response' from her father with regards to Randy and Emilia's matter.

In the end, no matter how against it he felt in his heart, Mr. White really couldn't bear to hurt either of his daughters. 

Moreover, he felt that it was all his fault, to begin with.

So after ranting about it for a while, Mr. White finally gave Samantha a nod.
