Chapter 52

She couldn’t wear the fancy evening dress to school, so she went home first to get changed.

As soon as she entered the house, she found Kendra leisurely lying on the sofa while Benny peeled an apple.

Her father’s eyes were filled with affection as he fed her the apple.

Previously, it was Kendra who usually took care of Benny.

Lindsey had never seen her father dote on Kendra like this before.

Rolling her eyes, Lindsey went straight to her room.

After getting changed, she headed back to the living room.

Kendra asked sarcastically, “Lindsey, are you alone? Where’s your rich fiancé?”

Lindsey didn’t want to waste time arguing with Kendra, so she turned a deaf ear to her words and headed straight for the door.

Seeing her so impolite, Benny was about to lose his temper, but considering their father-daughter relationship, he held back and restrained himself.

Still, he couldn’t help but stop her from leaving so quickly.

“Lindsey, if you don’t like Chayce, you could’ve just told me.

I would never force you to marry someone you don’t love.

But you shouldn’t have pulled that stunt at the engagement party.

You humiliated not only Kendra, but me and our whole family.

”

Lindsey took a deep breath and turned around to face her father.

“Dad, I used to think you were a smart man.

How could you be so blind? Open your eyes! Kendra and Chayce conspired together and tried to steal our family’s properties.

And did you ever stop to wonder if the baby in her belly is really yours? If you continue to tolerate this woman, she’ll screw you over sooner or later!”

Kendra’s eyes welled up with tears almost instantly.

“I’m also a member of the Stewart family.

Why would I want to hurt any of you?

I know you’re just scared that the baby will threaten your position in our family, so you’re trying to have me kicked out.

But the baby is innocent-“

“Drop the act, Kendra.

Your fake tears might work on my father, but not on me.

” Lindsey sneered.

Hearing this, Kendra changed tactics.

She put on the most pitiful expression she could muster and threw herself into Benny’s arms, crying bitterly.

“Benny, do I really have to kill myself to prove my innocence?! I don’t care if I die, but what about the baby? Does our innocent baby have to die, too?!”

Benny’s expression darkened.

He was convinced that Lindsey targeted Kendra because she didn’t want to share the family assets with her future sibling.

“Lindsey, I used to believe that despite your stubbornness, you had a good heart.

But never in my wildest dreams would I have expected you’d make up such a ridiculous lie for your own selfish motives.

You really disappoint me!”

Lindsey smiled bitterly.

She was even more disappointed than Benny.

“Dad, if Mom were here, she would’ve believed me.

”

At the mention of his ex-wife Juanita, the bottled-up anger in Benny’s heart suddenly exploded.

He pointed at Lindsey and roared, “Have you forgotten how your mother abandoned you? When we divorced, she simply took your brother with her.

For so many years, I’ve worked so hard to provide for you! How dare you mention her to me?

If you think I’m not good enough, then go to your mother.

Let’s see if she’ll take you in!”

In Benny’s eyes, Lindsey’s mother had abandoned her; it was he who raised her.

Throughout the years, although Lindsey had always quarreled with him, he still loved her dearly.

That was why he felt so hurt when she said those ungrateful words.

She made it sound like he wasn’t as good as her mother-the parent who had abandoned her!
