Dominic Conrad opened his eyes.
Yvonne continued, "My mother's right. You don't have much ability in terms of business, but you’ve always refused to admit it. Therefore, the Conrad Group hasn’t developed much in the past twenty years. Now you don’t even have a company.”
"You thought that my mother looked down on you and stepped on your dignity, but the person who really looks down on you is yourself. You're too sensitive, too inferior, and too concerned about how others look at you, but you're unwilling to accept that my mother is better than you. Because in your opinion, women should stay at home to do housework, so you can't accept it." Yvonne tore off all his fig leaves.
Dominic Conrad's eyes were complicated and finally turned into a sigh, "Maybe, but what's the use of saying these things now? You already know what you want to know."
"You're right. I know the truth about my mother’s accident. Next, it’ll be Jacqueline.” Yvonne’s mouth curled up coldly.
Dominic Conrad was very obedient this time. He cooperatively told what Jacqueline did to Yvonne six years ago.
With this, Jacqueline would be guilty.
After all, even Jacqueline's biological father said that Jacqueline killed someone. So how could other people not believe it?
Then, Yvonne got the camera’s memory card and was ready to go back.
But right when she walked to the basement door, Dominic Conrad suddenly shouted behind her, "I’m sorry, girl. It's my fault...”
Yvonne stopped and her eyes were reddened because of what he said.
When she knew that Frey's husband and wife were not her biological parents, she once hoped that her biological parents would be kind and would shower her with the love and care that she wanted the most.
But God played a big joke on her. Her biological mother died long ago and her biological father was her enemy who killed her first child. He even said that he didn’t regret hurting her!
Thinking of this, Yvonne turned around with her red eyes. "Dominic Conrad, you're not my father. You’re not qualified to be my father. Didn't you say that you won’t treat me as your daughter, but Jacqueline's the only one? So who are you to claim to be my father now?”
Dominic Conrad lowered his eyelids mockingly and said it again, "I’m sorry..." "You’re sorry? Hmph. I won't accept it. Do you think you can make up for the damage you've done to me just by saying sorry? Let me tell you this. It's impossible. So put away your pretentious sorry. Don't think that a sorry can soften my heart and let you go. It's absolutely impossible!"
After speaking indifferently, Yvonne didn’t stay longer and walked out of the basement.
When she went out, she looked up at the night sky outside and her tears finally rolled down uncontrollably.
She could feel that Dominic Conrad’s apology was sincere. He really felt sorry for her.
But so what?
Did she have to accept his apology?
If he had apologized to her six years ago, she might have soft-heartedly forgiven him because she had been longing for real fatherly love, but he didn't.
Instead, he apologized to her six years later when her heart was the hardest.
How ridiculous.
Yvonne told the man, "You guys, keep watching out for him, but you don't have to keep him in the basement. Just keep him upstairs, but make sure to nail the windows shut so that he can't escape through the window. You can also get him a TV to let him have a look at the outside world without turning off the lights."
The man was puzzled.
Yvonne explained, "He's no longer valuable and he's about to go to jail, so before going to the jail, let him live better. This is my honor to him as a daughter for giving me this life."
"Yes, Miss Smith."
"Okay." Yvonne nodded slightly, then put on her sunglasses to cover the rare fragility in her eyes, got in the car, and left.
Two hours later, she arrived at her apartment. It was past eleven o'clock in the evening.
Yvonne didn’t get out of the car but laid on the steering wheel to adjust her depressed mood.
In fact, she got what she wanted after seeing Dominic Conrac this time, but deep down in her heart, she wasn't very happy. On the contrary, her heart felt heavy.
After all, Dominic Conrad was her biological father.
