Chapter 20
Three years ago, Cecelia had escaped from the hands of the Daltons and Henry.
She was running away from prison time. However, because she didn’t have a single penny, she lived a hellish life.
Afraid of being found, she could only stay in hiding.
She’d slept underneath bridges and fought homeless people for food. In fact, in order to survive, she’d even slept with disgusting old men before.
Every time she felt those old men’s hands roving over her body, she wished she was dead
She had once been the daughter of the Dalton family, their most cherished princess.
Why had all those things stopped the moment the Dalton family found their real daughter?
Furthermore, the most unbelievable part of everything was that the poor pauper she hated the most was actually the Dalton family’s biological daughter
Ever since, Henry and the Daltons kissed the ground that Ruby walked on. They gave her everything that she could want for, which only pissed Cecelia off even more.
All of this should belong to her!
Her jealousy took over her entire being. Thus, she didn’t even care about covering her tracks anymore and decided to kidnap Ruby,
“Do you think that now that you’ve returned to the Dalton family, you can snatch everything away from me?” Cecelia screamed bysterically. “I’m telling you that that’s impossible! The Dalton family’s assets are mine, and so is Henry! Don’t even think about taking them away from me!”
Ruby regarded Cecelia with coldness and ridicule.
Angered by the look in Ruby’s eyes, Cecelia charged forward and ripped the tape off Ruby’s mouth
Ruby, how dare you look at me like that? You’re nothing but a poor pauper who grew up in the valley. How dare you try to fight me?”
Puty sneered before spetting mockingly, “Ceceliz, you’re nothing but a substitute for me What right do you have to be causing a fuss?”
Cecelia’s face instantly drained of color. She said in a panicked tone, “Y–You’re spouting nonsense! I’m the true daughter of the Dalton family, not you!
With a frosty look, Ruby said sardonically, “Cecelia, you know deep down that you’re just the adopted daughter. The Dalton family’s assets have never belonged to you.” Cecelia’s body swayed violently. Her voice dipped with despair as she muttered, “T–That’s impossible… I’m the true daughter of the Dalton family. I am…”
Her voice slowly faded into a whisper. Suddenly, a wild look flashed in her eyes.
“Go to hell, Ruby
She brandished a knife and thrust it in Ruby’s direction.
However, right before the tip of the blade pierced Ruby’s body, the door to the warehouse was kicked down.
“Stop right there!”
Henry and Lan rushed in, their faces wrought with anxiousness and fury.
Reacting quickly, Henry grabbed Cecelia’s wrist and twisted it forcefully. The knife fell to the floor with a clang
Meanwhile, lan rushed to pull Ruby behind him, protecting her from harm
“Are you insane, Cecelia he yelled, the suppressed rage evident in his voice. He stared at Cecella incredulously.
Cecelia struggled to escape Henry’s grip. She screamed in despair, “Let me go! 5’m the real daughter of the Dalton family, not her! How dare Ruby snatch everything away from me?
Henry’s expression was icy in a deep voice, he said, “Cecelia, do you still not know who you are? You’re just an adopted daughter. If you had behaved yourself, the Dalton farmay might have let you stay.
“However, you tried to hurt Ruby over and over again. You’re not worthy of being a Dalton!”
Cecelia froze. Pank flikkered in her eyes, but that emotion was quickly replaced by madness. “No, I’m the daughter of the Dalton famdy! You can’t treat me like this!”
She thrashed around violently. Suddenly, she lowered her head and chomped down on Henry’s wrist ferociously.
Henry’s grip loosened from the pain, and Cecelia took the opportunity to escape. She picked up the knife from the floor and charged a Kuby once again. “Die, Psaby”
