Charles Quinn’s soul was floating in the heavens, and now suddenly being dragged back to earth, how could he bear it?
He imdiately shouted angrily at July Quinn, "We’re your parents! If you have any sense at all, you’d know not to say sothing like that."
Giving to beggars on the street but not to them?
Is this sothing a person could do?
"July, don’t be like this. Mom and Dad know you’re a good and filial child, you’re just angry right now. Listen to Mom, don’t let things beco so rigid between you and your dad, or people will laugh at us."
Seeing Charles suddenly roaring, afraid that things would go wrong, Amanda Ford quickly held July’s hand, trying to smooth things over.
But unexpectedly, July quickly withdrew her hand from Amanda’s grasp.
"There’s no need to feign affection for just for money, because it won’t change anything."
Her familial feelings towards these two had now faded almost entirely.
When did it start to fade?
Perhaps it started when she was young, coming back to the country ti and again trying to get close to them, only to be ruthlessly pushed away.
Or maybe it began when Nina and Nathan both betrayed her, and they stood unconditionally by Nina, even encouraged Nina and Nathan to get engaged quickly.
Of course, it might also have started recently when they found out she was the Divine Doctor at Rosewell Hospital and ridiculed her indiscriminately.
But regardless of when it started, now July truly had no more expectations of them, and naturally wouldn’t indulge their greed.
However, July still underestimated human greed and the limits people would go to.
Look, Charles saw July was ready to cut ties with them and found no need to be tactful, so he directly started commanding her.
"I am your father, supporting your parents is a legal obligation. So, transfer all the money you have on hand to my account right now, do you hear ?"
"July, your dad has his reasons, so listen to him."
Amanda wasn’t as direct as Charles in giving orders but was still focused on the money.
July’s beautiful eyes had lost their warmth under the wear of these two, as she coldly stared at them.
"Supporting one’s parents is indeed a legal obligation, but the premise is also that the parents must raise the child to adulthood. But Charles Quinn, can you honestly say you have taken care of a single day, or paid a single school fee for ?"
Charles froze: "..."
Nobody had!
July had never lived with them, and he wouldn’t waste a di on July.
But what of it?
He was now just a money-seeking machine, why care about all that?
"Your grandfather taking care of you is as if I took care of you; your grandfather paying your tuition is as if I paid it."
Charles thought he had the reason on his side, not knowing July knew the truth and retorted, "Then supporting Grandpa is equal to supporting you. Too bad, Grandpa is gone, and I don’t have to spend my money now."
"What do you, as a girl, need so much money for?"
"There are plenty of ways to use money. Buying sports cars, buying villas, keeping boy toys, just like stamp collecting, getting one of each, even if I squander it all, it’s a kind of happiness, a happiness you’d never understand."
Charles was so infuriated that his face turned red.
Because he also wanted to experience the kind of happiness July was talking about.
Amanda was still trying to salvage the situation: "July, let be honest with you. Actually, all the family’s money is tied up in stocks, and the company’s working capital is insufficient. If this goes on, we’ll face bankruptcy. If you don’t help out now, outsiders will laugh at us."
"Of course, if you really don’t want us touching your money, give it to Nina. She has a good education and is capable, surely she can achieve great things."
Compared to Charles, Amanda’s words were relatively tactful, but she still aid to pressure July to hand over the money.
Even if not to them, giving it to Nina would be fine too.
"Even if I’m nailed to the pillar of sha, I won’t give you the money. Especially not to Nina."
Every ti she thinks about how her own sister, Nina, was intent on snatching away everything from her, it made July want to destroy her.
And give her money?
So she could achieve great things?
In your dreams!
Having said so much, July felt there was no need to argue with them any further, and directly called security.
