Chapter 142 - One Hundred And Forty Two: Find A Husband For You (2/2)

” Yes ”

”Ouch !” I cried out in pain when she shit me on the back with her walking cane.

”You foolish child, how are you going to survive from now on? ”

”I've been surviving without them, ” I told her but that old woman still didn't believe me.

”Shut up, do you know you have just ruined your future? Being an illegitimate child was enough trouble, now you remove yourself from the registry? You're basically an orphan now! ”

My head throbbed, this was getting annoying. Did they not believe I can stand on my own? Must I need an abusive rich family to succeed?

”Stand up” Grandma began to urge me on my feet, ”You would go on your knees and beg your father when we get home. Don't worry, I'll plead alongside you so he would forgive and take you back in ”

”Why don't you hear me out for once! ” I raised my voice on my grandma for the first time.

The look on her face hurt me but if I don't do this now, I would never get another chance.

”Father?” I laughed sarcastically, ”It's quite funny, I don't remember having a father else I wouldn't be tagged an illegitimate child ”

”Maya… ” There was a pained look on her face, only she understood what I had gone through in that house.

Angela had tried to abort me several times but I was one tough baby who still held on until grandma pleaded for my life. Perhaps, they would have abandoned me after my birth in some orphanage If the Old woman wasn't there to support me.

I wasn't a crybaby yet tears spring forth from my eyes as memories from those years flooded my head.

Dropping to my knees in front of her, I pleaded with her ”Granny, please don't make me return there. I need to breathe a bit alright? ”

She was the one that moved my heart and the only one I would obey without questioning because of the trust between us.

”My poor daughter ” She gathered me into her arms and cried on my shoulder while I fought back my tears.

If both of us cried, who would console each other?

”I'm so sorry, you have suffered enough ” She cried out her heart while smoothing my hair.

The scene was so heart-stirring that even the maidservant dabbed at her eyes with her handkerchief save Kim's mother who was looking straight ahead unaffected.

Grandma pulled away, ” You don't have to worry about your future, alright? ”

I nodded.

”Though I'm not influential enough but over the years I've made friends with some rich madams who have well to do sons. I'll set up a date for you to meet them since I'm sure one of them would marry you ”

A wry smile twisted my lips, finding a husband was the least of my problems right now. But I still appreciated her, she was thinking about my well-being anyway.

” Grandma, thank you ”

Kim's mom snorted, she was probably making a mental assessment of the well-to-do men her mother was talking about.

It was not difficult to figure her out, Angela hopes I never succeed more than her daughter Kimberly. She has this distorted mentality that I'm born to be beneath her untainted daughter like she's some chosen one.

”Also ” Granny went on, ” I have two percent share in the company which I would transfer to you ”

”You're seriously unbelievable, mother! ” Angela pointed at me, ”This girl would be nothing but a hindrance to her sister's progress ”

”Healthy competition between siblings is not a sin! ” Octavia barked at her daughter.

What healthy competition? It was an unfair competition! Two percent share versus the huge sum of shares Kim has? It was mission impossible - at the moment.

”Grandma, you don't need to transfer your shares to me, I already have mine ”

”Alright - what?! ” She was shocked.

Angela scoffed,” What nonsense are you vomiting this time? ”

”The money I received for selling my body to Niklaus, what do you think I used it for? Shopping? ”

Angela paled at once, ”No way, that's impossible ”

”I was angry at Niklaus for what he did to your company but right now I'm the most grateful. Thanks to him, I now owe a five percent share in your dear company ”

None of the shareholders would have sold out their shares if the company was not on the verge of bankruptcy.

”I'm not interested in taking over the company but tell Kim, she should never dream of becoming an heiress either, I'll make sure of it ”
