Chapter 143: 0143 saw Ruffy Smith_1 Chapter 143: 0143 saw Ruffy Smith_1 Daisy Wood could tell from the side that sothing was off. If it had been an accident that she was lost, would her father speak with such a lack of confidence?
Clearly, anyone could see he was feeling guilty.
Terrible suspicions arose in Daisy Wood’s mind. She had always been the darling of the Wood Family, treated to the very best, though she sotis felt treated differently. But if her older sister had truly been lost on purpose by their parents…
If she hadn’t been one of the twins, would her fate have been any better?
At the thought, Daisy Wood’s face turned a shade paler.
“Accidental or not, that’s all in the past. There’s no need to pretend ignorance when you clearly understand,” Ellen Young said with a relaxed smile. “It’s actually quite good that we’re laying everything out in the open today. I don’t want to go back to the Wood Family. It hasn’t been easy for the Wood Family to get to where it is today through your father’s efforts. Such a scandal of losing a child, once exposed, would be detrintal to the image of the Wood Family. Everyone is living well, why bother disturbing each other? My choice not to seek revenge is because you did, after all, give life; my decision not to feel grateful is because you don’t deserve it. Why insist on unpleasantness?”
“Is this wild speculation a result of sothing your older sister told you?”
Daniel Wood still couldn’t believe Ellen Young knew anything; he thought Lucy Wood had been acting rebellious lately, definitely putting strange ideas into Ellen Young’s head, thus leading to Ellen’s current act of rebellion!
Ellen Young, who had little patience for such argunt, heard him still making excuses for others, and her eyes grew colder. “If you say one more word, do you believe that tomorrow the human trafficker might accept an interview with the dia to spill the beans?”
Ellen Young disdained to use her own power to oppress the Wood Family—simply telling the truth was enough to cause a storm for them.
The Wood Family was a listed company; a major scandal like this would be a heavy blow to the corporate image, causing stocks to plumt. Daniel Wood surely couldn’t bear such responsibility.
“You…”
Daniel Wood now realized Ellen Young indeed knew the truth, and anyone would feel resentful towards parents who had abandoned them.
He reconsidered and found he couldn’t wring out any tears, only showing weakness: “Even if we were wrong back then, we had our difficulties…”
Ellen Young really didn’t want to waste words with him, turning her head and walking back into the house, closing the picket fence behind her.
The little black dog imdiately stood up and started barking furiously at Daniel Wood.
“If you won’t co back, that’s fine. You’re not willing to return to the Wood Family—really, you’ve seen no kindness. If you want to live such a miserable life, so be it!”
Daniel Wood exploded in anger, while Daisy Wood stood by, utterly stunned.
She couldn’t imagine such a truth existed; her older sister had actually been sold by human traffickers.
“Daisy, let’s go.”
When Daniel Wood reached out to take her hand, her face showed a mixture of shock and complexity, and she flinched away, feeling a sudden strangeness towards the father who had been so kind for so many years.
Still, having lived with the Wood Family all her life, her mind was in so turmoil, but she followed nonetheless, and Daniel Wood, not minding her reaction, led her back to the car.
As they were getting in the car, Daniel Wood kept muttering, “Really doesn’t appreciate any kindness!”
In the midst of speaking, Daisy Wood looked ahead and suddenly froze.
Daniel Wood also looked forward, and then both of them froze together.
Atop the hill in front of the car stood a man.
A tall man with long limbs.
