Chapter 2370
Whitney sneered. "You're planning on suing me? Then go on, call the cops on me. It just so happens that I was about to sue you people for illegally imprisoning our Roxie and abusing her!"
When all was said and done, Bebe was just a young lady from a rich family who had never experienced life in the real world before. She was shocked upon hearing Whitney's words.
Whitney walked up to Roxie, and seeing that she looked to be on her last breath, Whitney shook her head and sighed. "Come home with us, Roxie."
Roxie shook her head and smiled as she said, "I still can't go home with you yet, Sis-in-law."
Whitney was puzzled. "Why's that, Roxie? They don't even treat you as if you're their family."
Roxie said, "I know. That's why I can't go home."
Madam Banners was stunned for a moment. Roxie's words sent a chill down her spine. She initially thought that Roxie returned home merely because she was longing for her father's love. Now, she knew that things were not as simple as they seemed.
After all, Charles was not at all kind toward Roxie since all of his love was given to Bebe. Madam Banners could not fathom why Roxie insisted on staying in the Banners' house.
They did not treat her kindly either. They starved her and had been cursing at her for the past two days. It was up to the point that Roxie was almost starving to death. Now that her savior was here, she barely cried nor complained about her grievances. Instead, she still calmly insisted on staying.
Roxie's abnormal behavior made Madam Banners feel uneasy.
"Go with her, then!" she yelled at Roxie.
In the beginning, Madam Banners expected Roxie to bring their family fortune. However, seeing how much of a scrooge Roxie was and how she guarded the wealth given to her by the Ares family, she knew that it would be difficult to gain any benefits from Roxie.
Now, she actually felt that Roxie was nothing but a burden. She wished Roxie would leave the Banners household.
Roxie looked at her with a smile and reminded
Madam Banners, "If I go back to the Areses and my parents see me in this state, do you truly think they'll let you off the hook?"
Madam Banners was startled.
She was right. Roxie has only been back in the Banners household for two days but she was already being driven to the point of being more dead than alive. How could Sir Ares let her go for this?
Madam Banners suddenly stopped bantering.
Bebe, the immature girl, looked unafraid and said, "It's not like you're really dead. You're just a little hungry. Can the Areses even disregard the law and want our heads just because of that?"C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Whitney was rather amazed by Bebe's ignorance.
"Roxie, was your sister's brain thrown into the trash?"
Bebe was exasperated. "How dare you talk bad about me?"
"Saying that is already considered
velet
flattery for the likes of you. With that IQ of yours, it's not even an
exaggeration to say that you're a single-celled creature," said Roxie.
Bebe gritted her teeth in anger.
"Guards! Take her out of here for me!"
When the guards came dashing in, Whitney waved her hand once. The group of people immediately dashed over.
Roxie said, "Don't worry about me, Sis-in-law. Hurry up and report to Daddy and Mommy that I'm alright."
Whitney looked at Roxie
suspiciously. Although it was clear
that Roxie was suffering, her eyes
were firm and bright. Seeing this et
Whitney knew that Roxie had her own plans, so she chose to no longer make things difficult for
Madam Banners.
Instead, she merely warned Madam Banners. "You'd better be nice to my Roxie. If you abuse her again, I
won't hesitate to stab you in the mouth the next time."
Whitney walked out of the living room and rejoined Jens.
Whitney asked Jens curiously, "Why didn't you show yourself?"
Jens pretended to act all mysterious and I went for a short trip to
the and arranged a
wcontent
surprise for Six. Let's go.”
"What sort of surprise?"
"A surprise that can save her life."
After getting into the car, Whitney was still puzzled." Why is Roxie adamant about staying in the Banners household?"
Jens said, "Why were you adamant about coming to look for me?"
"That's because I like you. You're my life's biggest obsession, Jens.”
Jens replied, "As for Roxie, the Banners are her biggest obsession."
Whitney seemed to have half-understood it now.
