Chapter 654: Chapter 654: Why Did You Lie to Me?

Wendy Clarke sneered at Joshua Clarke: “Dad, this is the good daughter you’ve been thinking about!”

“If she was really poor, it would be understandable for her to struggle in Belfard. Even a hardworking person alone in Belfard isn’t so easy. But she’s clearly so rich, marrying into one of The Big Eight families!”

“What is The Big Eight families? They are the top families in Hearth Nation, only eight in the entire country.” Wendy brought this up, full of envy and jealousy, and couldn’t hide the awe in her voice.

“Even the richest person on the list can’t compare with them. The Big Eight families never participate in wealth rankings, so no one knows how wealthy they are or how much their fortunes amount to. But everyone knows that the sum of all known ultra-rich people in Hearth Nation doesn’t even come close to a single family among The Big Eight.”

“These eight families are like behemoths squatting in Hearth Nation, and Cindy Clarke married into the Zhekova Family, one of The Big Eight families.”

“She married not just any side branch, but an important member of the Zhekova Family. Of course, even a less important member of the Zhekova Family wouldn’t be an easy catch for ordinary people. And Cindy married the Zhekova Family’s heir, Adrian Zhekova!”

“Saying she has no money? If she doesn’t have money, there must be very few rich people in this world. Compared to Cindy, we are just poor folks buried in dust. Even the compensation for my restaurant, which pains me to give, is as simple as spending a penny in her eyes.”

“But she has so much money and still deceives you, claiming she has no money. She even went through the trouble to create a fake house to deceive you and ask us for money instead. When you last visited her and couldn’t come up with 500,000, Dad said he’d give some of his pocket money to Cindy every month and she agreed.”

“Dad has only 5,000 for pocket money a month, and gives Cindy 3,000. Doesn’t that money burn in her hands? Can she live with herself?”

“Not to mention that this 3,000 yuan a month might not even compare to three cents for her. Even the total 500,000 is just small change in her eyes. She just wants to purposely disgust and embarrass you, not wanting to give you a single penny. So she deceives you, and who knew that today I’d run into her and expose her lies.”



Joshua Clarke’s body swayed a few times, staggering back a bit, and only steadied himself by holding onto the chair back.

He felt terribly discomforted in his heart, his chest stuffy and breathing difficult, as if something weighed down on his chest, his whole body burning with frustration.

There was only dry heat in his mouth.

He had two children in his family, Cindy and Wendy. His favorite had always been Cindy.

He had high hopes for Cindy since she was young. He knew that Cindy was bullied by Christy Xenos and Wendy, and he tried to make up for it by treating her as best as he could to ensure that even if she lacked a mother’s love, she would at least receive a father’s love.



Christy felt that Cindy was born just to be against her.



With such a terrible attitude, Christy firmly believed that Cindy would have no future, in her marriage or her career. Who could endure such a stubborn person?

Those who would be her boss or supervisor would dislike her, and any boyfriend or husband would certainly not tolerate her.

But who would have thought that the very daughter she had no faith in would marry Adrian Zhekova, and be a part of such a top-class wealthy family?

It was as if Christy was slapped hard across her face, as if Cindy had personally proved to her that her notions were all wrong.

Originally, if she had a daughter who could marry into the Zhekova Family, it would have been a huge celebration, like saving the entire universe in a past life.

However, it was exactly this daughter – Cindy – who married in, and Christy didn’t know whether to be happy or angry.

Having a daughter marry into it should be a good thing, as they could receive some of the riches that came with it.

Even just a little of what the Zhekova Family had to offer would be enough for their family to enjoy endlessly.

However, it was the very daughter who had always been against them who married in.

With Cindy having such a stubborn attitude, it was unlikely she would give them any money.

Previously, they had come, and Cindy would rather pretend to be poor and deceive them with a house, rather than giving them money.

They wouldn’t be able to get the slightest benefit from Cindy marrying into the Zhekova Family. So what good was having such a daughter?

This was the reason why Christy was so conflicted at this moment.



Any family would be happy to celebrate if something like this happened to them, but she was incredibly suffocated.

“She’s just too unfilial, that dead girl!” Christy cursed angrily, “If she really had no money, it would be fine. We wouldn’t ask her for any and wouldn’t force her to support us.”

“After all, it’s not easy for her to struggle in Belfard alone. But now she is the Young Madam of the Zhekova Family.”
