Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 563 - : The Modesty Cloth
Chapter 563: Chapter 563: The Modesty Cloth
Christy Xenos was furious, feeling that she could no longer control Cindy Clarke.
Back in Nork City, when she wanted to hit Cindy, when did Cindy ever dare to fight back?
“Well! You’ve grown up, been in Belfard for five years, and now you’ve grown wings too hard for me to control, huh!” Christy shouted, “I discipline you, and you dare to fight back?”
“Do you want to hit me?” Christy suddenly let go and leaned her face towards Cindy’s, “You’re so capable now that you want to hit me, your own mother, right?”
“Come on, hit me! Hit me!” Christy brought her face even closer, pointing at her own cheek.
“What are you doing!” Joshua Clarke helplessly pulled Christy away, “It wasn’t easy to find Cindy, can’t we just talk things out? Does it have to be this way?”
“Regardless of what grievances there are, we should at least understand each other clearly before we proceed!” Joshua said helplessly.
“Did my mom ever tell you why I left?” Cindy asked.
Christy’s face changed, hearing Cindy say this, wondering if she knew something.
Did Cindy know everything about the conspiracy against her back then? freewebnσvel.cøm
That’s why she ran away without saying anything, and didn’t make any contact for so many years.
Being afraid that they would plot against her again.
Joshua was stunned: “What? Does…your mom know?”
“Mom and sister both know.” Cindy said sarcastically.
“What nonsense are you talking about!” Christy immediately interrupted Cindy, “You don’t even know why you ran away and made us search for you for so many years. What else do you want to say?”
“I’m saying that you and Wendy drugged me at the bar, put me in bed with a strange old man, hoping I’d have his child in exchange for money for you guys!” Cindy shouted.
“You’re talking nonsense! We didn’t do that!” While Cindy was talking, Christy was also shouting desperately, trying to cover up Cindy’s voice.
But Cindy was prepared, and her voice was even louder.
Now she sees herself as a common shrew, completely ignoring her image.
Anyway, the role she was playing today was just like that.
So no matter how much Christy shouted, Cindy didn’t stop.
She didn’t let Christy interrupt her, and she raised her voice, even if her throat hurt from shouting, she didn’t lower her voice.
“You’re talking nonsense! You ran away on your own, and then you come back and accuse me and your sister?” Christy’s face turned red as she spoke.
“This… this…” Joshua was in a dilemma.
Who should he trust?
Cindy suddenly burst into tears, grabbing Joshua’s hand and saying: “Dad, you must stand up for me!”
“I’ll never forget, five years ago, I was helping out at our small restaurant. At night, Wendy went to the restaurant after work, saying she wanted to have a drink with me. As soon as I had a drink, I passed out.” Cindy pointed at Christy.
“It was my mom and Wendy, together, who carried me to the hotel and wanted to give me to Mr. Lopez.” Cindy said, “Fortunately, I was lucky. I don’t know where they got the fake drugs, but I woke up early.”
“At that time, Mr. Lopez was already in the room, but he hadn’t touched me yet. I wanted to run, and of course, he wouldn’t let me. So he told me everything my mom and Wendy did.”
“He said that my mom and Wendy gave me to him! As long as I could give birth to a child, they’d get 10 million in return.”
“Of course I wouldn’t do it! No matter how much money they gave me, I wouldn’t do it, not even for a billion!” Cindy said, “So I fought back, injured Mr. Lopez, and took the chance to escape.”
“Wendy wanted the money to expand our family restaurant, so why didn’t she accompany Mr. Lopez herself? Why did she drug me and give me to Mr. Lopez?” Cindy shouted loudly.
“Besides, if you want money, work hard and earn it with your own hands! If you want to expand our family restaurant, just help out! Instead, she’s out partying and ignoring family matters, and still talking about expanding the restaurant?”
“Your sister is socializing and networking outside, she’s using her brains!” said Christy, “And besides, how do you know she didn’t try? The expansion of our family restaurant is all thanks to your sister. What have you done?”
“These years, while you were enjoying yourself in Belfard, it’s your sister who’s been supporting us and taking care of us. The family’s affairs, and the family’s restaurant, you haven’t lifted a finger all these years, how dare you accuse your sister!” Christy pointed at Cindy’s nose as she spoke.
“If it really was as you said, our family restaurant wouldn’t be in the state it is today!” Christy retorted.
“Yeah, I’ve heard from Zoe Silverstone, our family now has a high-end restaurant and has made a lot of money.” Cindy held Joshua’s hand and said, “Dad, haven’t you ever wondered where Wendy got the money for the restaurant?”
“You know how much our small restaurant could make in a month. Did our family suddenly hit the jackpot and manage to take the restaurant to that level overnight?” Cindy asked.
“Located in the heart of Nork City, the entire restaurant’s scale has grown, hired talented chefs and professional waitstaff that allow you guys to retire directly. This isn’t a small restaurant anymore. The initial investment for this kind of restaurant is huge.”
“Not just the renovation and so on, but also the cost of ingredients and staff. It takes at least a few years to get a return on that kind of investment. You need to have a really deep financial foundation to support it.”
Cindy sneered, “Dad, have you ever asked where their money came from?”
“Our family has been poor for half our lives, with no rich relatives. How come we suddenly have so much money overnight?” Cindy suddenly shouted, “That’s the money they got from selling me!”
Joshua stiffened.
Before, he had asked where Wendy got all that money.
Christy only said that Wendy was competent and had attracted investments.
Although Wendy had never helped out at the family restaurant, she had always been looking for deals outside and had met investors.
That’s how she managed to attract so much investment.
Joshua felt that he didn’t have much experience, and he couldn’t tell whether what Wendy said was true or false.
But maybe Wendy really had such ability?
And besides, subconsciously, he also hoped his family would become richer.
So even if he had suspicions, he hid them.
Just to enjoy life more peacefully.
But now, Cindy tore through the veil blatantly.
Making it impossible for Joshua to avoid it anymore.
Forcing him to face the problem.
And recall all the suspicious details from the past.
“Pah! Don’t flatter yourself!” Seeing that Joshua’s expression was wrong, Christy immediately said.
“Don’t even think about belittling Wendy’s efforts! She clearly found investors outside and attracted investments!” said Christy.
