"Tessa, what do you mean?" Hector asked.
"She snatched my boyfriend away from me! Of course, she has to compensate me! Besides, she also has to pay me back for everything she owed me for so many years in the past! She is living a good life now, anyway! She is married to a rich man now! She would have an endless amount of money to spend! Both of you and I are living in the abyss of suffering. Why does she get to marry a rich man?" said Tessa.
Both Tessa and her father are the same. She would not consider how many injustices had Hana once suffered because Tessa could not feel it. However, Tessa indeed felt her father's pain and all that he had done for her. Tessa was set on wanting Hana to pay for it. Even if Hana died, what has that got to do with Tessa and her father?
Just like her father, Tessa would not consider how many injustices had Hana once suffered because Tessa could not feel it. However, Tessa indeed felt her father's pain and all that he had done for her. Tessa had her mind set on wanting Hana to pay for what she should be paying. Even if Hana died, what has that got to do with Tessa and her father? Tessa did not care about that! It would be best for her if Hana had died and left Tessa a sum of money before that! This way, she and her father would no longer have to worry about living expenses! 2
Seeing his daughter with such a firm attitude, Hector immediately stopped crying. Both of his eyes lit up. " Are you saying that you can ask your mom...ask that woman for a sum of money?"
Tessa smiled. "Not a sum of money. I want her to keep paying for your medical expenses for the rest of your life! She has to keep giving me living expenses and compensations! In the past, it was five thousand dollars a month! Later on, it was ten thousand dollars a month! In the future, it would be fifty thousand dollars a month!"
"Good! Good! Excellent! My daughter is simply outstanding! Both of you and I are living in the abyss o f suffering. Why does she alone get to marry a rich man? We have to ask her for the money! You are her biological daughter and also the only daughter. It’s impossible for her and that man named Zayn to have another child again. All of her properties should be yours!" Hector became increasingly more enthusiastic.
Tessa nodded. "That's right, Dad!"
Both the father and daughter seemed to have found a way to make a fortune. They spent the whole night planning to buy an oceanfront mansion in the future. After that, they would get Tessa a man better than Zayn. The man did not have to be rich. Even if the man was poor, as long as he had a handsome appearance, was honest, capable, and loved Tessa, then the father and daughter duo would go get him to marry Tessa.
Three days later, Tessa dressed up exquisitely and went to the Smith Group. Although she had been dumped by Zayn, she still had to dress up glamorously when meeting Zayn. The reason was very simple.
Tessa wanted to let Zayn know what kind of woman h e had married to, which was an old woman! Simply an old woman! The daughter of the woman he had married was already such a grown woman! Tessa wanted to remind Zayn about this! Not only that but was Zayn not rich and kind? He would even show warmth and kindness to homeless people, so should Tessa, the legitimate stepdaughter, not also get a hefty sum of living expenses from her stepfather?
When Tessa got to the reception of the company, she deliberately said, "Hello, Miss. I am looking for Uncle Zayn.”
"Who?" The receptionist did not understand it at first.
"Zayn Smith. Director Zayn. He is my Uncle Zayn," Tessa explained in detail.
The receptionist surveyed Tessa from head to toe for a moment. "Our director only has one niece, but she is only seven this year. You..."
"I am his wife's daughter!" Tessa said in a very cold and stern tone.
The receptionist looked surprised. "Oh. Oh, I see. Please...hold on for a moment."
The entire Smith Group knew that the director had a wedding five days ago. The Smith Group had even celebratory gifts to their internal staff, and Director Zayn had hosted a special banquet. The entire company knew that Director Zayn's wife was eight years older than him and she had a child before that. H e did not hide that from them. Therefore, when the receptionist heard say that, she immediately became respectful and picked up the landline to call Director Zayn's assistant.
"Hello, is this Verlyn Welch? I...seem to have seen Director Zayn leave the company about half an hour ago. May I ask where he went to and when he will be back?”
