Fiona knew very clearly that Vanessa hated her and would never compromise easily. However, when she heard the word 'money', Fiona hurriedly said, "Vaness, your father and I don't want to leech off you, we just want you to talk to Mr. Kyle. Perhaps he has business opportunities for us. He treats you so well and loves you so much. As long as you ask, he'd agree."
Vanessa sneered in her heart but she still pretended to be moved by Fiona's words. "Let go of me first, then we can discuss this properly."
Fiona wasn't too willing but she couldn't be too harsh on Vanessa. She let Vanessa go and secretly pinched Marvin to ask him to talk to Vanessa. Suddenly, Marvin resumed a fatherly position again. "Vaness, we are not asking you to give us the money directly. As long as Mr. Kyle gives me some projects, we can make money on our own."
They were saying that they didn't want to leech off her but their method didn't seem any different from asking money from her directly. Vanessa had no idea when Marvin became so thick-skinned. Before she could open her mouth, she heard Marvin say, "No matter what, we are your family. You have a good source of income. If you don't share it with us, who would you share it with?"
Vanessa snickered. "All of a sudden, you're my father again, huh? When Fiona was grabbing my hair and hitting me, why didn't you behave like a father then? Why didn't you treat me as your family?"
Vanessa's words made Marvin's face flush red. He was so angry that he couldn't say a single word.
Fiona pinched his back forcefully again. Marvin said obediently, "Our family has been waiting for you outside the hospital for many days. We finally came in to see you today and we got kicked out. How could we not be angry? We are mad precisely because you are our child!"
"Marvin Love! Perhaps you've already forgotten how my mother passed away but I haven't. I will never forget the scene of you bringing a mistress into our home to bully my mother! I will never forget you both forced my mother to her demise!" Vanessa looked at Marvin and she enunciated clearly as the words rolled off her tongue. "Frankly, my mother fell in love with a good-for-nothing like you back then because she was blind!"
Marvin understood how much he had gone overboard over the years. Sometimes, he did not even dare to look Vanessa in the eye. Vanessa would always be unpleasant but he had endured it because he owed her. But at this moment, Vanessa had blatantly called him a good-for-nothing. How could he take it? He raised his hand and gave Vanessa a slap. "Today, I will put you in your place."
Seeing his hand approaching, Vanessa could have avoided it but she didn't. Marvin's slap landed on her face and a red palm print appeared, but she didn't even flinch. She coldly looked at Marvin. "Treat this slap as a favor to you for raising me. From now on, we owe each other nothing. You are no longer my father and I'm no longer your daughter. You can forget about getting anything from me."
Marvin was so vexed that his hands were shaking. "Vanessa, my blood is flowing in your body. Your name was given by me. You will never be able to deny your identity."
After all, in the eyes of others, the Love family was still her family. She did not want to look bad in front of outsiders. She had hoped she could clear up the family drama on her own. But, she tried her best to no avail. In the end, she could only rely on Julien's power to help her solve the problem.
Joel immediately ran over and waved his hand. Immediately, several bodyguards in civilian clothing surrounded Marvin and Fiona. "Get them out of here. Don't let them appear anywhere within three kilometers of this hospital in the future."
Fiona struggled and shouted, "Vanessa, you ungrateful b*tch. We raised you but you gave us nothing in return. Now you've even ganged up with outsiders to bully us. Do you still have any conscience?"
"Conscience? Are you asking me if I have a conscience?" Vanessa approached Fiona and reached out her hand, dragging it across Fiona's face. "Fiona, you are the least qualified person in the world to talk to me about conscience. You better get out of my sight. Don't ever cause trouble for me again, then maybe I will consider letting you go. If you continue acting out and pestering me every day, don't say I didn't warn you. I vow to spend any amount of resources and money to find evidence that you murdered my mother and drugged me back then! I swear to bring you to justice."
Fiona replied disdainfully, "I'll be right here waiting for you to find your so-called evidence and send me to jail."
