Female Novel
Chapter 180
“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 tobeseech 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 toinject capital into the company and revive it from certain death.”
Upon hearing the word ‘bracelet’, Roland’s expression abruptly changed. “You’ve already got thebracelet, 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 mydreams, urging me to get her bracelets back. They were her beloved pieces, after all. Don’t tell meyou’ve forgotten about it?” Selena looked at him with a challenging expression on her face. I justcan’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. Afterall, 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 thebracelet. When I established the company years ago, didn’t your mother sell one of the bracelets toraise money for me? Therefore, if she were still alive, she’d likewise sell the bracelet to help me withthe turnover when the incident back then transpired.”
As Selena stared at Roland, only the word ‘shameless’ remained in her mind. “So, you can dowhatever 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 bringingyour 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 mustyou still—”
“Do you really have no nightmares in your sleep? My mother was an innocent girl, and shesacrificed everything because she fell in love with you. Yet, how did you repay her? You had anaffair when she was pregnant and even had a child with someone else, living an easy life. Whenyou made a name for yourself, you disdained her, so you started scorning and deriding her. If youhadn’t gone so far and caused her to be abjectly disappointed in you, how could she possibly havehad 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, shesuffered from depression before she finally committed suicide by jumping off a building. “That’senough! 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’mnot here for her to criticize me!
“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 makingexcuses!” 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 youwant the bracelets?”novelbin
Selena lifted her eyes and glanced at him. “They’re my mother’s beloved pieces, so I want to getthem back and place them in her grave.”
When Roland heard this, relief suffused him. Back then, he didn’t think much when Cecilia said thatthe jade bracelets were her family heirloom, merely taking it for a fact. However, when he ponderedupon it later, he realized that the jade bracelets were invaluable and expensive. Thus, even if theywere a family heirloom, she must have been from a wealthy family instead of an average family.
