Chapter 1: Chapter 1

“Bitch! 1 million dollars?! Have you gone mad as your shameless mother?” Being harshly slapped by her father, Elisa felt dizzy as a searing pain spread across her face. Getting angrier as he spoke, her father wanted to give her another slap, but he was held back by his assistant. “You abandoned your own wife and daughter! How dare you speak ill of my mom!” Elisa’s face was swollen, her hair sticking to her sweaty cheeks, but she still stubbornly looked at the man in front of her. Through the glass door, she could see her disheveled appearance and onlookers gossiping about her on the sly. She knew they were mocking her. But she didn’t care about anything except saving her mother. “Your mother asked you to here, right? Damn, she’s truly despicable. She was the one who wanted a divorce at first. She’d rather give up all her belongings than stay marriage with me. Now, she dare to push you to ask me for money. Shame on her!” Elisa turned her head and saw her father cursing her mother, he starred at her with eyes full of hatred and disgust. She felt extremely disappointed at this moment, but she still tried to keep calm, “No, my mother doesn’t know that I came there. It was my own decision to ask you for money.” “Oh? It’s you? Can’t you handle the tough life with your mother anymore? So are you regretting your decision to leave with your mother and now want to come back to me? But I already have another daughter now, I don’t want you anymore!” “You have the same tainted blood as that woman, just looking at you disgusts me. You better get out of my office right now!” “Mr. Barson, my mom is seriously ill and needs an organ transplant surgery. Her health insurance cannot cover it, and she has to pay for the medical expenses herself, but we don’t have the money.” “The divorce agreement you made was unfair, you didn’t even give her a single penny. So now I’m begging you, please return the money that belongs to my mom. Without the money, she will die!” Just as Elisa mentioned the divorce agreement, her father suddenly slammed the photo frame hard onto her head. The sharp edges of the frame cut Elisa’s forehead, and thick blood flowed down, obstructing Elisa’s vision. Elisa was only shocked for two seconds. She wiped the blood from her eyes as if she couldn’t feel the pain, and still looked up at her father, Jorge Barson. “Mr. Barson, I know you have a new wife and a new daughter now.I can guarantee that we will never appear again, as long as you give me 1 million dollars to let my mother have the surgery.” “If you refuse to return the money, I am afraid I will sell all the scandals of the Barson family to the paparazzi. Although it takes time to make money, I believe I will eventually gather 1 million dollars.” “So, Mr. Barson, please think twice. Is the reputation of the Barson family worth 1 million dollars to you?” Elisa’s sudden threat startled Jorge Barson, and he stared fiercely at this unfamiliar daughter in front of him: “You wishful thinking! You want money, huh? Ask the bitch come to me personally, kneel in front of me and beg. I will hold a press conference and ask her to admit that she wanted a divorce because she cheated on me!” “If she agrees, I will give her 1 million dollars to save her filthy body.. If she doesn’t agree, then she can wait for death. Anyway, after she dies, I will attend her funeral.” With a final disgusted look at Elisa, Jorge Barson walked away with his assistants and bodyguards. Watching Jorge Barson’s departing figure, Elisa wanted to chase after him. The conditions he proposed were too malicious, Elisa would never let her mom plead with him! As Elisa took a step forward, her head wound suddenly began to throb intensely, causing her to collapse to the ground, losing consciousness.
