"It's great that you understand. You're in an extremely difficult situation right now, so don't cause any unnecessary trouble for yourself. It's delusional if you think you can get your money back," Sinclair reminded her.
Although Monica was prepared for this, she still felt very uncomfortable when she heard Sinclair's words.
She lowered her head and pursed her lips.
Sinclair gave her a sidelong glance and snorted, "What? Are you unhappy?"
Monica did not hide the truth and was frank, "I am unhappy. I never expected this to happen. I'm a failure."
Sinclair snorted and said, "Even I have fallen from grace. This is karma, really. I've taken too much from women in my life, and this is what I deserve. To think that your husband even managed to do me in makes me so embarrassed."
He was furious at the thought of being humiliated by Michael.
Monica helped him to the bedroom upstairs and asked him to lie down. Then, she said, "He holds a grudge about us. I lost my virginity to you, only to end up with nothing. You married my godsister Suanne, and you screwed over Cindy, Yannie and I. In fact, Yannie died because of you, so Michael screwing you over isn't so bad in comparison."
"Do you think it isn't so bad?" Sinclair glared at Monica, displeased.
Monica sat down beside the bed and said, "I don't think you lost out on anything. It's the same feeling as a woman being penetrated, both pain and pleasure. See, you enjoy it too since you refused to go to the hospital."
Sinclair yelled, "It's not that I don't want to go, but I'm afraid of making a fool of myself. I am a man, and it's not the same thing. How could you band together and treat me like this?"
Monica smiled wryly and said, "I'll go get some hot water. Take a bath and you'll feel better. I want to take a bath too."
"Give me my daughter's information first," Sinclair grunted.
His top priority was to get information on Celeste, which was the most important thing to him.
He didn't expect to ever have a child.
He really thought that his bloodline would end with him, but he was suddenly struck with the information that he had a child. This made him very surprised, and he wanted to meet her dearly.
Monica became unhappy at the sight of Sinclair's excited expression.
However, she did not say anything.
"Wait here. I'll check it out for you after I go to the bathroom. I'll show you some old pictures and stuff," Monica went to the bathroom after she finished speaking.
Soon, she came out of the bathroom and went back to the bedroom. She opened her suitcase, found a document and showed it to Sinclair.
"This is a photo taken when your daughter was a child," Monica categorized the photos neatly, "She did not suffer as a child, and she ate and lived like a king. She had specialized caregivers in Canada, and Cindy gave her everything she wanted -material-wise."
Sinclair took the laptop and turned it on. He saw a baby girl with rosy cheeks, and he found her very cute.
He glanced at her and found her features very familiar.
"She looks like Yannie," He said.
Monica looked down at the computer and gazed at him again. She smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, she does look a lot like Yannie."
Sinclair scrolled through the photos.
Monica replied, "This was when she was one. This was taken when she was two and three respectively. Cindy treated her like her own, and she never wanted to do anything to her at first. Alas, Celeste was disobedient."
"My daughter doesn't need to be so obedient," Sinclair actually seemed proud of Celeste as he spoke.
Monica snorted, "Don't get so excited. She might not acknowledge you as her father. You're mired with scandal, and she's currently dating the eldest son of the Jones family."
"It's not up to her to decide whether she wants to acknowledge me or not," Sinclair's tone was one of disbelief, "As long as I'm her father, it doesn't matter whether she acknowledges me. You can't change the fact that we're related by blood."
"That may be the case, but she doesn't even care about Cindy, who raised her. Other than being a sperm donor, what else have you given her?" Monica questioned.
"What's wrong with you? I let you stay here not to insult me. Remember, you're here under my mercy," Sinclair reminded Monica unhappily.
Monica stiffened, and her eyes became dull as she sighed, "Sorry, I guess I got too excited."
