Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 2389

Charles quickly defended himself, saying, "I had my own sets of difficulties. I divorced from you and built a separate family with Miranda Forks. In those few years when I first joined the Forks' family, my status was low and I had no real power or money. How could I have done anything to help find our daughter?"

Ultimately, he did not forget to provoke the motherdaughter relationship between the old woman and Roxie. He pushed the conflict to the old woman instead. "You keep saying that I have no love for our daughter, but what about you? When we divorced, you did everything possible to take custody of our daughter but you never cherished her well. Don't think that I don't know about you transferring all your anger for me on her back then. You beat her up and scolded her. You instigated her to go out and beg for food. How could you be so cruel? She was only a three-year-old child."

The old woman bawled. "Did you think I wanted to do that? Ask yourself, Charles Banners. When you and I divorced, you took away all our savings and left our daughter to me.

Because of the blow of the divorce, I got sick again. I had no money to go and see a doctor. If I wanted my child to survive, I could only teach her to be more shameless, no?

"I admit that I was horrible to my kid. I've been drowning in guilt and self-blame all these years. But what about you? You live in a big house. You have more and more power in your hands. You clearly had the ability to give your daughter a better life, but you weren't willing to support us."

Roxie looked at Charles coldly and said faintly, "She wasn't good to me but that's excusable. As for you, you knew that I was living in dire straits but you turned a blind eye to me. You're a horrible father."

Charles said nervously and fearfully, "Roxie, don't listen to her nonsense. I really had my difficulties too."

Roxie looked at the pair of heads upstairs that were sticking out of the stairs' railing. She sneered ironically, "If you want me to believe you, then prove it to me."

That night, Charles went looking for Madam Banners and wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with her, but it turned into a fierce dispute in the end. Madam Banners said, "Charles Banners, I'll fulfill your wishes if you want a divorce, but the condition is that you leave the house."ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

She could now see that Charles was a vile self-seeking person. As long as she held onto the property and refused to let go, Charles would be reluctant to part with her.

This situation was at a stalemate for a few days.

Charles and Madam Banners' quarrel was reaching its climax, and their relationship was even more rigid than ever.

At this time, Angeline, the young madam of the Ares household, finally came to visit.

Madam Banners complained to

Angeline white sobbing. The rough content of her story was about Roxie using her powerful connections to intimidate them. She said that Roxie was using the Ares family's formidable power to tyrannically abuse the Banners.

Roxie's face grew extremely dark.

She loved her mommy Angeline very much, as Angeline was the person who had the purest love for her in the world.

Roxie knew that Angeline was in poor health and did not want to worry her further, so she silently accepted whatever Madam Banners was saying.

After Madam Banners vented her frustration, she felt relieved. She was secretly proud that she had found the key to subdue the female devil Roxie. That person was Angeline.

It turned out that Roxie was afraid of Angeline to such a level.

After Angeline listened to Madam Banners' tirade, she did not act as how Madam Banners' thought she would. She slowly walked in front of Roxie raised her chin, and looked at her carefully before saying, "Roxie, you've lost weight."

Roxie's tears instantly flowed out of her eyes. Only Mommy Angeline would care about her health before anything else.

Angeline turned around and walked

in front of Madam Banners, saying earnestly, "Madam Banners, you

accused my dear Roxie of beinget

viciousand bullying you. But have you ever considered that you are the root of all of this?"
