No, not when she was ten... but when Bella entered their house as a nanny, she lost her father!

Her father, Jerome, abandoned his fair lady wife and had a crush on the family nanny. As a result, the angry wife left while his agitated father-in-law fell ill!

Slap!

Jerome raised his hand and slapped Harriet hard in the face!

... Caught off guard, she covered her cheek and glared at him, "You hit me? What makes you think you can hit me?"

"Because I'm your father!" Jerome gritted his teeth and looked indifferent, "Because your life is given by me!"

He turned to the doctor, "I'm the patient's son-in-law... We'll abandon resuscitation. I'll sign the paper!"

"Okay..."

"No!"

Harriet tried to stop him, but Bella and Hailey came up, holding her at the same time.

"Behave yourself! It's the end for the old man and not that we want him dead!"

"Exactly, if he lives like this, he's no different from the dead..."

Harriet scowled at Hailey. Like mother, like daughter!

Bella glared at her, "Damn girl, who are you glaring at? Did you forget how you grew up under my lash? Damn girl!"

"Ah..."

However, her wrist was clasped by Harriet.

"How dare you..." Bella was stunned.

"Humph!" Harriet sneered.

"Bella, listen up, I have grown up! And you're old now! Do you think you can always beat and bully me? Two years ago, you pushed me down the stairs... That was the last time! From now on, if you hit me again, I pay you back tenfold!"

Harriet gritted her teeth and looked at Jerome.

"If you dare to sign it today, I'll expose you in public! Mr. Lopes keeps a mistress and drove his wife away! It will be known to the whole world! Humph, the outsiders don't know that the woman in Mr. Lopes' house is just an ignominious mistress!"

When her mother found out about her father's adultery, she ran away from home in a huff.

They hadn't gone through the divorce procedures all these years.

For the administration authority of Ever Sun Group, Jerome didn't dare to file for divorce.

As a result, Bella and Hailey's status had been awkward...

In fact, they were just Jerome's mistress and illegitimate daughter!

"Argh..." Jerome froze there, "How dare you!"

"Why wouldn't I?"

All these years, the domestic scandal was not made public so that the reputation and influence of the Wood family would not be damaged.

Harriet kept her chin high and looked at him fiercely.

"Try me!"

"Fine..." Jerome nodded repeatedly and trembled with anger, "I've raised a good daughter! Why do I have an unruly girl like you!"

"Jerome!"

Bella tugged Jerome, "Stop the nonsense with her, let's go..."

The ward quieted down. Harriet was surprised that Bella didn't make it hard this time.

Not in a mood to care about that, Harriet turned to the doctor, "Doctor, we're not giving up!"

"... Okay, we'll respect your will!"

...

Thanks to the rescue, Ryan narrowly escaped death...

Harriet was utterly fatigued and hadn't eaten anything the whole day.

Harriet touched her upset stomach and planned to grab something to eat.

At the door of the elevator...

Richard pressed the button and stood back behind Mervyn.

His brows furrowing, Mervyn looked a bit solemn.

He was silent and irritated.

When the elevator door opened, he got in.

"Wait!"

When the door was about to close, Harriet rushed in, "Excuse me, please wait... thank you, thank you."

The moment when she stepped inside, she was struck dumb...

Him? Not again.
