Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us!

“I thought you wanted me to help you? If so, shouldn’t you be beseeching at least?”

“You want me to beseech you? You’re my daughter, and I’m your father! Yet, you want me to beseech you?” Livid, Roland slammed his hand on the table.

“Okay, then. Let’s not talk about this, okay? As long as you give me the other bracelet, I promise to inject capital into the company and revive it from certain death.”

Upon hearing the word ‘bracelet’, Roland’s expression abruptly changed. “You’ve already got the bracelet, so why are you still asking me for it?” His expression was a tad sketchy.

“As I said, I’ve only gotten one. Where’s the other one? My mother has been appearing in my dreams, urging me to get her bracelets back. They were her beloved pieces, after all. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten about it?” Selena looked at him with a challenging expression on her face. I just can’t wait to see how he’s going to answer.

Recalling the past bitterly, Roland finally lifted his head. “I’ve sold that bracelet.”

“Who did you sell it to?” Selena wasn’t at all surprised since she’d long since surmised that. After all, he would’ve taken it out ages ago if it were in his hands.

“Back then, the company was in dire need of capital turnover, so I had no choice but to sell off the bracelet. When I established the company years ago, didn’t your mother sell one of the bracelets to raise money for me? Therefore, if she were still alive, she’d likewise sell the bracelet to help me with the turnover when the incident back then transpired.”

As Selena stared at Roland, only the word ‘shameless’ remained in her mind. “So, you can do whatever you want just because my mother loved you?”

Roland’s mouth parted slightly, yet he couldn’t quite answer that. “Selena, why do you keep bringing your mother up when she has been gone for so many years? Can’t you just let this go after so long? Yes, I wronged your mother back then, but I’m still your father. It has been decades, so why must you still—”

“Do you really have no nightmares in your sleep? My mother was an innocent girl, and she sacrificed everything because she fell in love with you. Yet, how did you repay her? You had an affair when she was pregnant and even had a child with someone else, living an easy life. When you made a name for yourself, you disdained her, so you started scorning and deriding her. If you hadn’t gone so far and caused her to be abjectly disappointed in you, how could she possibly have had the guts to jump down from the twentieth floor when she was such a timid person?”

Roland couldn’t argue since it was all true. Back when Cecilia found out that he had a mistress, she suffered from depression before she finally committed suicide by jumping off a building. “That’s enough! Stop bringing it up when it has been so many years!”

At this, Selena snorted coldly. “You don’t dare let me bring it up, yes?”

“I just want a definite answer from you. Are you going to help me or not?” Roland was seething. I’m not here for her to criticize me! This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

“As I said, I’ll help you if you return me the bracelet. Otherwise, don’t even think about it.”

“That bracelet has been sold for so many years, so I can’t possibly get it back! You’re just making excuses!” Roland abruptly shot to his feet, his patience gone.

“Find the buyer, and I’ll come up with the money.”

At that, Roland looked at Selena. Gritting his teeth, he asked, “Selena, would you tell me why you want the bracelets?”

Selena lifted her eyes and glanced at him. “They’re my mother’s beloved pieces, so I want to get them back and place them in her grave.”

When Roland heard this, relief suffused him. Back then, he didn’t think much when Cecilia said that the jade bracelets were her family heirloom, merely taking it for a fact. However, when he pondered upon it later, he realized that the jade bracelets were invaluable and expensive. Thus, even if they were a family heirloom, she must have been from a wealthy family instead of an average family.
