Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Only Then Would She Have Been as Obedient as a Dog

Eliza Sutton’s patience wore thin. "Mr. Sutton, if you came here today just to claim me as your daughter, you’ve come to the wrong place. Please leave. Or I can have security drag you out."

The moment she finished speaking, the bodyguards at the door glanced in their direction, looking ready to charge over at a moment’s notice.

Harrison Sutton’s expression was grim, but he knew an appeal to family ties wouldn’t move Eliza.

He cut to the chase. "I do have business with you today. Replace Innis’s spokesperson. I have a more suitable candidate: Vivian Forrest. She’s the Forrest family’s daughter and the hottest genius Go prodigy right now. If she’s willing to endorse Innis, it’s our gain. Eliza, bring me the endorsement contract tomorrow. No problem, right?"

"No problem."

A smile immediately spread across Harrison Sutton’s face. "Then I’ll be waiting for the contract."

"Mr. Sutton, you must have misunderstood me. I meant that since you value Viola Forrest so much, you should sign a contract with her yourself. My involvement won’t be necessary."

"You’re refusing?" Harrison Sutton was incredulous. "Eliza Sutton, do you have any idea what a golden opportunity this is to connect with the Forrest Group? How can you refuse? Are you insane?"

Eliza had no patience for this argument. "Mr. Sutton, is there anything else? If not, please leave." She glanced at her watch. "You’ve already wasted more than ten minutes of my time."

With that, Eliza turned to leave, unwilling to stay a second longer.

Harrison Sutton was both panicked and furious—furious that Eliza would disrespect him so brazenly.

But he really didn’t dare to beat around the bush.

He knew that if he kept stalling, Eliza would actually walk out.

He had learned the hard way just how difficult it was to get a meeting with Eliza Sutton, now that she had transformed into Master Innis.

"Stop!"

Harrison Sutton rushed in front of Eliza, blocking her path. "I do have something else. Let your sister go."

"You want me to let Amelia Sutton go?" Eliza scoffed, as if she’d just heard the most ridiculous joke.

"Yes!" Harrison Sutton sighed, his tone softening slightly. "I know Amelia was wrong to hurt you this time, but no matter what, we’re family. What good will it do you to have Amelia go to jail and end up with a criminal record?"

Harrison Sutton spoke with self-righteous conviction, his tone pleading, as if he had only his daughter’s best interests at heart.

But in reality? 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

’It was all complete bullshit!’

’For my own good?’

’If Harrison Sutton cared about her in the slightest, he never would have said something so ridiculous.’

In the end, Eliza couldn’t help but laugh.

"You’re not wrong, Mr. Sutton. Who says having Amelia Sutton in jail doesn’t benefit me? At the very least, it makes me happy. See? I’m very happy right now."

Harrison Sutton’s face instantly darkened, his expression a mask of indescribable fury. "Eliza Sutton, you and Amelia Sutton are sisters! You’re family! How can you be so cold-blooded and heartless!"

Eliza laughed again.

She honestly couldn’t help it.

Still smiling, she said, "Me? Cold-blooded and heartless? Mr. Sutton, you seem to have forgotten that it was your ’good daughter’ who hired a man and a child to show up in public and slander my name. She tried to ruin me first. I’m merely giving her a taste of her own medicine. Oh, and you, Mr. Sutton... you showed up with Amelia, backing her up with your own vague and misleading words. Did you really think I didn’t know what you were up to?"

Eliza’s gaze was so sharp it seemed to pierce right into Harrison Sutton’s soul, dragging all his sordid intentions out into the light.

Harrison Sutton’s face burned with humiliation.

The feeling of being so thoroughly exposed was awful.

But Harrison Sutton’s shame quickly turned to even greater fury. "Eliza Sutton, what is the meaning of this? Are you questioning your own father? How dare you act this way? If word gets out that you, the great Master Innis, are unfilial, how long do you think your fame will last? Besides, while Amelia’s and my actions might have been inappropriate, the fact remains that you slept with some random man and gave birth to a pair of bastards!"

’I should be grateful,’ Eliza thought.

’Grateful that ever since the moment I went to prison five years ago, I’ve held zero expectations for Harrison Sutton as a father.’

Eliza smiled, but it was an expression colder than ice. The way she looked at him, it was as if she were staring at a dead man.

"Yes, I slept with some random man. I gave birth to a pair of bastards. But has Mr. Sutton forgotten how I ended up in that man’s bed? It was your ’good daughter’ who got me drunk at my own eighteenth birthday party and drugged me. Oh, that’s right. She was even thoughtful enough to arrange for a man to be there for me!

And why did I give birth to two children? Don’t you know that, either?"

Back then, when Eliza first found out she was pregnant, she had been terrified.

After all, the children’s father was unknown, she was far too young, and her situation was already precarious.

Choosing to go through with the pregnancy would have been the most irresponsible thing to do.

She had considered getting an abortion.

She had even scheduled the procedure and was waiting to be called into the operating room.

The decision may have been cruel, but it was the best for both her and the children.

But in the end, she never made it to the operating room.

She was kidnapped by Amelia Sutton.

She would never forget the vicious smile on Amelia’s face.

Amelia had said, "Eliza Sutton, you want to get an abortion? Dream on. You have to give birth to these children. It’s the only way to give you a permanent stain, something that will let me keep you crushed under my heel forever."

Even now, Eliza couldn’t understand how an eighteen-year-old girl could be so vicious.

Later, as her pregnancy progressed, it became too late for an abortion.

During the months that followed, she came to fully accept the children growing inside her and was prepared to drop out of school to raise them.

But that wasn’t the beginning of her hell.

Just when she was seven months pregnant, Cedric Sutton came under police investigation for a series of crimes, including illegal fundraising and tax evasion.

To save his son, Harrison Sutton made her take the fall.

Unable to fight back, she offered to sever her ties with Harrison Sutton as his daughter in exchange for agreeing to plead guilty.

Afraid she would go back on her word, Harrison Sutton used his connections to ensure she was denied bail, even during her pregnancy.

Then, she gave birth to her children in prison.

Harrison Sutton arrived immediately and took both children away.

Harrison Sutton put on a show of fatherly concern, telling her, "I’m taking the children so they can have a better life."

But Eliza had always known that was a lie.

Harrison Sutton took the children simply to have something to hold over her, to control her by her weakest point, ensuring she would keep her mouth shut and forever take the fall for his son’s crimes.

’Was Harrison Sutton clever?’

’Very.’

’Look at how he’d used his own daughter, squeezing every last drop of value from her very bones.’

’But Harrison Sutton was also a fool.’

’He assumed sending his daughter to prison would destroy her completely. He’d forgotten that if he really wanted her to be as obedient as a dog, he should have kept her children close and raised them well.’

’Then again, maybe Harrison Sutton wasn’t a fool.’

’He was simply convinced that Eliza Sutton’s life was already ruined for good.’

’Too bad for him. She had disappointed him yet again.’
