Chapter 154
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 154<\/p>\n
I go back to Virginia with Frances the next day.<\/p>\n
Steven calls and tells me that Mangalore had already asked Nicole Snow over to draw again and talk about her design inspiration.<\/p>\n
To be honest, I don\u2019t hold much hope. Nicole is not an untalented person. It is not difficult for her to do this. Stealing my drawings is perhaps only for revenge.<\/p>\n
I can’t go to the company, and I am too afraid to draw at home. All I can do is to sleep in the room.<\/p>\n
The strange thing is that Frances hasn’t been to work in the past two days. And I don\u2019t know what he does in the room every day.<\/p>\n
I can only see him at breakfast, lunch and dinner. After all, he is taking me out to eat.<\/p>\n
On this day, when I come back from dinner, the car almost runs into two people as soon as it drives into the villa area.<\/p>\n
I quickly get out of the car when I see their faces.<\/p>\n
I should have seen that coming.<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, mom, what are you doing? Are you trying to get yourselves killed?\u201d<\/p>\n
Mom and dad stop in front of the car, looking awe-inspiring.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy son is dead. What am I going to live for!” Mom wipes her tears, looking stubborn.<\/p>\n
Sure enough, they are here because of Frank Noyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is in jail, not dead!\u201d I shout.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou unfilial daughter, he is your brother! He hasn’t had any hardship since he was a child. Putting him in jail is like killing him!\u201d<\/p>\n
Mom rushes over, pulls my hair and throws me to the ground.<\/p>\n
I sit on the ground numbly, listening to my mother yelling at me.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow did I raise a daughter like you? You only care about yourself, and never cared about our family! When I was hospitalized, you didn’t even ask about it. I would\u2019ve strangled you to death if I knew you were an ungrateful soul!\u201d<\/p>\n
Each word breaks my heart.<\/p>\n
What am I to her? It’s not that I don’t love my parents, but they hurt me over and over again so that I don’t even have the courage to get close to them.<\/p>\n
All the beautiful illusions at the beginning are shattered, and I cannot even find the meaning of life.<\/p>\n
I sneer.<\/p>\n
Why would Frances listen to me? She thinks too highly of me.<\/p>\n
Besides, I really don’t want to step in their affairs.<\/p>\n
Frances ignores them and walks towards me, pulls me up from the ground, and lightly pats the dust off me.<\/p>\n
I don’t know if it is my illusion that I feel the way he looks at me is gentle.<\/p>\n
But when he looks at my parents, his eyes instantly turn cold.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you two don’t leave within one minute, Frank will not just be in jail for a few years. You have also said that I am a man with great power.\u201d<\/p>\n
My parents look at each other, then look at me bitterly, and finally leave unwillingly.<\/p>\n
Frances takes me inside. From a distance, I see Whitney Jordan standing at the door.<\/p>\n
The blood in my whole body immediately coagulated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-178","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/178","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
