Chapter 916: Chapter 916 The More You Suffer, The Happier I Am

In the hospital.

After Amos got released, the first thing he did was to call Harley.

At the same time, Heinz’s story was published in the newspapers.

Monica had indeed committed suicide, but she had fought with Heinz before her death. Although he had not killed her directly, he had become part of the reason why she had chosen to end her life.

Therefore, Heinz was sentenced to a few years in jail. In addition, he was convicted for deliberately spreading malicious rumors, inciting others to create trouble, and deliberately injuring other people.

All his charges combined resulted in a ten-year sentence!

Ten years was neither long nor short, but it spanned across his supposed peak of his life. During this period of time, Heinz was supposed to become the heir of the Rosaville City’s chain of department stores. The Chilton and the Stewart family must be in chaos now!

The results were similar to what Eudora had envisioned.

Not long after they entered the ward, Thea’s mobile phone rang several times.

However, Thea did not answer all of them. She would pick up the phone, look at the screen, and then hang up!

Finally, after countless times, everyone noticed her actions. Harley frowned and asked, “Is it the Stewart family?”

Thea nodded and said, “Yes!”

“Let me answer the call!” Harley said. “They must be calling regarding Heinz’s matter! If it’s hard for you to answer to them, I’ll help you!”

“No!” Thea shook her head. “I have no more strings attached to the Stewart family. There’s nothing that I can’t tell them! Furthermore, you’re my family now. Heinz deserves his punishment!”

After that, she answered the call.

As expected, Isaac Steward’s voice rang out, “You d*mned girl, you’ve really gone out of your mind! It was just a private dispute between two sisters. How dare you deliberately put Heinz into jail, you monster!”

Thea had known that he would call her on Freya’s behalf, but hearing with her own ears still made her feel bitter.

Thea took a deep breath and said, “Did you know that my husband had almost gotten beaten up to death? Even his friend got involved and almost sent to jail! Have you ever cared about these matters? All of them were caused by your so-called obedient daughter, Freya Stewart!”

Isaac was taken aback as he replied, “Aren’t those things in the past? I saw the news. Harley is fine now, and so is his friend. What else do you want?”

Thea was so angry that she almost let out an enraged cackle.

“Then, you can ask Freya to come here, and I’ll stab her. I’ll ask the doctor to treat her, then we can act as though nothing happened.”

“Sh-she’s your sister!”

“What about me? What am I? Let me ask you, what am I to you?” Thea roared.

There was a moment of silence. Soon, Isaac spoke again, “You don’t act like a daughter at all. Is this how you talk to your father?”

Thea sneered and said, “Mr. Stewart, why are you so shameless? The last time we spoke, we had already decided to cut ties. Now, you’re saying that I’m your father? The moment you didn’t appear when my mother gave birth to me, you were dead to me!”

After that, she hung up on the call, turning her phone off.

Upon seeing the scene unfold, Eudora and Amos immediately took the initiative to pick up Cutie Pie, taking Sugar Bun and Juju out with them.

“You two can talk about it. We’ll take the children out to play for a while!”

When they left, Harley reached out and took Thea into his arms.

“It’s alright. Why should we care about those heartless people? Don’t be sad!”

The next second, Thea reached her hands out to push Harley away.

“I’m so angry! I’m so f*cking useless!”

“No, you aren’t. Family is always..”

Thea interrupted Harley’s speech.

She screamed, “I should’ve scolded him a bit more harshly just now! I shouldn’t have just let him off so lightly!”

Harley was flabbergasted.

It seemed that he had read too much into the situation. Right, his wife was not the kind of person who was overly sentimental. She had always been carefree and would not feel sorrowful for those kinds of people!

“Then, we’ll scold them harsher next time!” Harley said.

“Yes! That’s for sure!”

As they were speaking, the door of the ward was pushed open again.

Freya came into the ward with bloodshot eyes and said, “Thea, do you have any conscience at all? Dad fainted because of your phone call just now!”

Thea showed no emotion on her face upon hearing what Freya had told her.

“Cool.”

“You…”

“What are you going to say?” Thea pursed her lips. “If you’re here to just talk about that, I’ve already heard you. You can leave now!”

As she said that, she walked over and instantly pushed Freya out.

Freya was pushed two steps forward, and her high heels almost broke. Just as she was backed up till the doorway, she fell to the floor.

“Thea, you’re insane!” Freya roared.

“I have no idea if I’m actually insane or not, but I do know that you really aren’t the sharpest of people. You think I’m a psycho, and yet you took the initiative to look for me! Are you looking to get tortured?”

The quarrel between the two women quickly attracted the attention of many in the corridor. Upon hearing the commotion, they immediately rushed over.

“What’s the matter? Freya, didn’t I ask you to come to look for your sister to apologize? Is this her?”

The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman. She looked exactly like Heinz, and there was no doubt that she was Heinz’s mother, Heather.

Freya’s expression was as dark as coal, and Thea finally understood the purpose behind Freya’s visit.

“So, you’re here to say sorry? I thought you were here to provoke me! Are apologies always so loud and arrogant? I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that you were apologizing!”

Upon hearing that, Heather immediately glared at Freya.

She scolded, “Heinz has always been so nice to you. Now that he’s in trouble, is it so difficult for you to lend him a helping hand?”

Freya was upset, but since Heather was insisting, she no longer dared to say anything else. She immediately shook her head and said, “No, I haven’t had the opportunity to say it yet!”

Heather finally relaxed a little and said, “Then, you can apologize now! Is this your sister, Thea?” She then turned to Thea and said, “You’re so beautiful. We’ve come here to talk to you about Heinz. He’s a good-natured child. Some kind of misunderstanding must have occurred between the two of you. You see, as long as you come forward and revoke the lawsuit against Heinz, we are willing to compensate you.”

Due to the fact that Harley was the victim, doing so would reduce Heinz’s sentence significantly!

Thea looked down at Freya and said, “I want her to apologize!”

Heather immediately grabbed Freya’s arm and said, “Thea is talking to you. Quick, say sorry!”

Freya opened her mouth and finally muttered out a few words after a long time.

“Yes, it’s all been a misunderstanding. We know that we’re in the wrong, so we hope that you’ll spare Heinz’s life!”

“What?” Thea impatiently fiddled with her ears. “I don’t understand a word that you’re saying!”

“Thea!” Freya was about to explode but Heather held her down.

“Can’t you be more sincere? Say it clearly. If anything happens to Heinz, do you think the Chilton family would let you get away with it, scot-free?”

Heather was already starting to threaten Freya. It seemed that Freya was not exactly living the best life in the Chilton’s family as well!

That was great news! The more Freya suffered, the happier Thea would be!
