Even Marcos felt a bit disgusted. What Emilia did was a disgrace to the family.
At this time, Charlotte glanced at everyone with a calm face and then asked Emilia, "Who else knows about this?"
Emilia wiped away her tears, her entire body trembling. She didn't dare to tell them anything more.
Seeing this, Marcos felt that the matter was more serious than he had imagined.
This daughter who he had placed great expectations on actually made such a huge mistake. He rushed to Emilia, slapping her in the face.
"Say it! You shameless brat! What the hell is wrong with you? Who's the man you slept with?"
The corner of Emilia's mouth was broken and blood ran from it.
"Are you crazy? She is your daughter. How can you be so hard on her?" Lainey rushed to them like crazy, having Emilia under her wing.
All Emilia could do was cry.
"It's all because of you. She humiliated the whole
family, and you're still defending her."
For the sake of Lainey's child, Marcos stopped hitting Emilia. Obviously, he was furious.
Aleigha, who had been silently watching the show, gave a faint smile. She remembered Marcos had beat the crap out of her in her last life.
She couldn't forget the pain. It was like hell.
She didn't do anything wrong. She got bullied just because she was not favored.
In her last life, Marcos believed in whatever Emilia said and treated her ruthlessly like a stranger.
Therefore, no matter how pitiful Emilia looked, she wouldn't sympathize with her.
She used to be more miserable. She had been covered in bruises and abused mercilessly by her family.
Dignity had been a luxury for her.
"Emilia, the game started."
Dustin was boiling with rage. "I told you Lainey wouldn't be a good mother. I told you Emilia was a jinx and she would ruin the family! You believe me now?"
"Grandpa, l-l just went into the wrong room." Emilia tried to save her face and dignity.
Dustin didn't buy it, though. Charlotte was even more straightforward. "Then why did you go to
Adrian's room? Don't tell me you tried to send him late-night snacks."
Aleigha wanted to gave her a thumbs-up. That was a direct hit.
"Aunt, I know you don't like me. But trust me, I've been teaching Emilia to be a good girl.
"No one wanted this to happen. As an elder, aren't you supposed to be comforting Emilia, not denigrating her?
"Is cursing her gonna change anything?"
Though
Lainey was filled with an ungovernable rage, she needed to find a way to fix this.
"That b*tch is to blame! She set me up..."
Emilia pointed at Aleigha while crying. Her eyes were full of resentment.
"Grandpa, I didn't. Emilia asked if I saw Mr. Xiao, and I said yes. That was all.
"I didn't know anything about her plan. Emilia, you can't blame me for what happened to you, can you?"
