Chapter 204 She Has Nothing To Do With It (1/2)

”Please, dad! Rachel's my wife now, and I can't do that to her! When she was kidnapped along with Lydia, I asked the kidnappers to let Lydia go instead of Rachel. Have you ever wondered why? It's because you've lost your younger sister and I didn't know what you would do if you lost Lydia this time. I couldn't let you go through that suffering again!

But by doing that, I disappointed and hurt my wife, risking her life for our family's sake. She wasn't even supposed to be involved in it.

We all owe her now, dad! Don't you know that?” Hiram explained, trying to change his father's mind.

Gavin breathed heavily, his chest heaving with each breath, and then he closed his eyes to calm himself down. ”Yes, I know, I owe Rachel for that. But Hiram, haven't you ever thought that maybe the ghost of Simpson had sent her to our family to pay his debt?” Gavin asked.

Joanna, who had been standing outside the door and listening for a long time, walked in after realizing that neither of them was going to give in to the other.

”I heard every word you two said just now, ” she said.

She looked at Gavin and sighed, and then continued, ”As we've seen in the past few months, Rachel is a nice girl, and besides, we consented to this marriage. If you ask Hiram to divorce her now because of something that she had nothing to do with, I think it's unfair to her.”

Feeling offended that his wife would support Rachel, Gavin said, ”Yes, Joanna, I gave my permission and I supported them all the way. But things are different now. I can't let this go. You know how much I've been suffering since Landy died.

Look, we have learned that Simpson caused Landy's death, and Rachel is his daughter. I can't stand having his daughter as my daughter-in-law as if nothing happened. It's unfair to me and Landy!”

Gavin groaned.

Right at this moment, his phone rang. He picked it up and said, ”Yes, go ahead.”

He sat straight on his chair and took out a cigarette. Hiram stepped forward and lit it up for his father.

”What! How could it be?” Gavin shouted.

Gavin was so shocked that he dropped his cigarette on the table. ”Ridiculous! My sister was a virgin then. How could she have given birth to a baby girl!”

Hiram raised his head and glanced at the phone, his eyes turning cold.

He clenched his fists.
