Chapter 2371
When Jens and Whitney returned to Chateau de Selene, they saw Baby Robbie with his hands behind his back as if deep in thought. His handsome face appeared gloomy as he continued to sigh. When Baby Robbie saw Jens and Whitney, he immediately went forward to greet them. "How's Six, Jens?"
A sullen expression emerged on Whitney's face. "The Banners' madam and young lady are both narrowminded people. They took Roxie back but didn't bother to treat her kindly at all." When Baby Robbie heard this, he was seething with anger.
Whitney suggested, "Why don't you think of a way to bring Roxie back, Baby Robbie?"
Baby Robbie's handsome face appeared gloomy as he sighed. "Sis won't be coming back here."
"Why's that?" Whitney simply did not understand why the ill-stricken Roxie would want to stay in that heartless Banners household and suffer there?
Baby Robbie took out a notebook from his pocket and said sorrowfully, "This is Six's diary. She wrote down all of her tragic experiences in it. It turns out that Six's
suffering is just completely outrageous."
When Jenson heard this, he grabbed it and quickly skimmed through the pages.
Just from a quick glance, Jenson was already shocked by the cruel abuse Roxie had suffered.
It turned out that when Roxie was in the military intelligence division, she had begun experiencing inhumane abuse. It was not just physical torture but mental torture as well. Moreover, the military intelligence division did not treat them as normal human beings at all.
They were humiliated, beaten up, and for a long period, they spent their childhood living in a dark hell.
Many of the girls could not stand that torture and chose to end their lives. Almost all of the girls who survived were the ones who could bear with it psychologically.
Moreover, Roxie wrote something at the back of her diary: [I hate my parents. I despise them. They're not worthy of being humans after abandoning me.]
Jens sighed sorrowfully. "I think all
of Six's sufferings happened because of her unreliable parents. She despises her father. I think she went back this time around to take revenge on her father. For a girl who experienced so much darkness like she did, do you think she'll even flinch at the Banners' slight abuse?"
After reading the diary, Baby Robbie's heart had not felt a moment of peace.
He knew better than anyone else that if Sis Six was abused in such a manner in the military intelligence division, did that not also mean the other sisters had received the same kind of abuse?
Robbie suddenly felt a terrible
stabbing pain in his heart, thinking
that his sisters had all lived in such a hell. Those sort of tragic memories must have definitely been engraved into their bones. They would not be able to forget them their whole lives. The calmness they had shown over the years was perhaps a disguise due to their superb acting skills.
"I'm extremely worried, Jens." Baby Robbie looked over at Jens in trepidation. "I'm afraid that the sisters might have never walked out of the darkness of their past."
Jens was looking straight ahead. He pondered with that wise brain of his and had a definite answer in his heart.
"They're all good at disguises, no?" he asked Baby Robbie.
Baby Robbie nodded. "Yeah.
"It's just like Thirteen. She's been obedient and adorable in front of Mommy in the past few years, but when the remaining members of the military intelligence division
appeared, she immediately switched back to her original identity. It seems tome like the sisters are the souls of the division and it's not something they're able to forget in their lifetime?"
Baby Robbie grew silent.
Jenson's sharp gaze fell on Baby Robbie. "Then what about you? Robbie, what about you?"
Baby Robbie was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, "I admit that I occasionally recall the days I spent at the military intelligence division, but I don't really think back about my days there most of the time."
Jens waved the notebook and asked, "So where'd you get this?"
Baby Robbie said, "Sis Six left it behind for me."
Chapter 2372
Chapter 2372
Jenson's eyes were filled with uneasiness. "Six has been stable, never revealing her thoughts after all these years. For her to suddenly leave this diary for you, she must have a plan." Baby Robbie's heart trembled suddenly. Realizing that Roxie returned to the Banners' household with such determination, he felt that something was amiss.
He turned around and dashed out. Jens grabbed onto Robbie and stopped him while saying, "Are you planning on visiting Six, Robbie?"
Baby Robbie said, "Six must be considering something that she shouldn't be. Only I can persuade her to change her mind."
Jens said, "If you want to go over to the Banners' house, you can't be heading there so blatantly. I'll cover for you at nighttime."
Baby Robbie nodded in agreement.
Jens took Baby Robbie back to Chateau de Selene. At this time, the Ghost members just happened to be reporting the situation regarding Lil Thirteen to Sir Ares.
"Sir Ares, Thirteen and the remaining members of the military intelligence division have been active near the military academy's border for some time. We even heard that quite a while ago, they were doing all
sorts o
f wicked deeds to oppress the people there. However, the people there haven't heard from them during this period and have no clue where they went."
Jenson and Robbie looked at each other. Jens walked forward to say, "Daddy, since Thirteen has chosen to return to her past life, I think she'll be heading to Yorks Stronghold to rescue her father, Monster." Sir Ares said with a worried expression, "I've thought of the same thing as well."
Jens glanced over at Baby Robbie and continued," Daddy, whoever started the trouble should be the one to end it. The hatred between Monster's division and the Ares family can only be solved if Robbie comes forward. The Ares family's Ghost members can cooperate under Baby Robbie's mobilization, and we'll take them down from the roots."
However, Robbie was looking at his father and brother with a heavy expression.
He had always been unhinged by the world and had a calm temperament. It was his first time showing such an expression.
"You should head to Yorks Stronghold, Robbie," said Sir Ares.
Robbie looked at Sir Ares and hesitated.
Sir Ares asked, "What are you worried about?"
Jens explained the situation for Baby Robbie, "Daddy, Roxie's not doing too well and Robbie might be
worried about her, so he can't go to Yorks Stronghold with peace of mind."
Sir Ares was slightly stunned.
"We can take care of Roxie here." He comforted Robbie.
Robbie handed Roxie's diary to Sir Ares and said sorrowfully, "It's better if you take a look at this, Daddy."
Jay took the diary and flipped through a couple of pages. His dashing face instantly became gloomy.
At this moment, Jay also sensed the danger.
"I'll have to give it further thought." Sir Ares took the diary and left.
That night, Baby Robbie had a hard time falling asleep.
In his mind, all he could think about was those dark years he spent at the military intelligence division.
Ultimately, he sat by the window and watched the moon, just like the time he was back at the division as he thought about his family far away.
In the past, he longed for his parents, Jens, and Zetty.
Now, he was thinking about the sisters who had passed away in the division.
da
Robbie thought of Daisy, who had a kind voice and a pretty smile. She was always caressing his head ever so gently and would say strange things over and over again
"Lil Fox, I truly hope that you'll be able to gain real freedom instead of being branded with the military
intelligence division's mark your
entire life like the rest of us.
"If the sisters can be freed from this, we'd try any method there is. Even if the method is crueler than any criminal law we've ever faced." Baby Robbie's head started hurting.
He suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a foggy forest and thought he had never truly known the military intelligence division's true colors.
Chapter 2373
Chapter 2373
Baby Robbie's brain felt like it was about to explode from the pain, and some obscure pictures gradually became clearer.
"Sis Daisy, I can accept the fact that he wants the sisters to sell their souls, but he's trying to make Lil Thirteen sell her body here. She's his biological daughter. If he does this, what's the difference between him and those immoral beasts?
"I've admired him for so many years, and I'm grateful that he adopted us and brought us up. Although he made us live a life where we're constantly walking on the edge of a knife, I've never regretted fighting for him.
"But Sis Daisy, he's making Lil Thirteen sell herself here. She's just a small child. Is he still human?"
Sis Daisy sounded choked up when she said, "He's not as great as we thought he was, Lil Five. He's the devil himself. Over the years, he has done a lot of heinous things to us. That collective loss of precious treasures was the tragedy he caused."
"What? I'm going to kill him."
"No. You can't kill him. Even if you do, there are still thousands of other monsters inside the military intelligence division."
Sis Daisy held onto Sis Five and pleaded with her
bitterly, "Why do you think I constantly ingratiate myself with him? I'm just making him have trust in me so that he can tell me more about the military intelligence division's untold secrets. We've already been ruined by him, Sis Five. Since that's the case, let's go to hell and fight the devil himself.
"The purpose of our lives is no longer to escape from this place and fight for our own freedom. Only by completely overturning the military intelligence division can we rescue those girls who have taken a wrong step in life."
"Sis Daisy..."
The two sisters hugged each other and cried.
"What about Lil Thirteen?" Sis Five said in bitter sorrow.
"I'll take her place," said Sis Daisy.
Baby Robbie suddenly jumped down from the beam and the two sisters looked at him before exchanging glances with each other.
Baby Robbie started looking at Sis Daisy tenderly. He admired Sis Daisy's heroic righteousness, and from that moment onward, she became a hero in his heart.
It was also from that day onward that Baby Robbie's feelings toward Sis Daisy changed.
It was untrue that he relied on Sis Daisy, but his admiration for her was real.
Baby Robbie was still a boy, and even though he was a child at the time, he felt a sense of responsibility as a man.
He patted his chest and said to Sis Daisy, "Sis Daisy, Sis Five, I can protect you girls."
Sis Daisy waved at him with reddened eyes.
"Come over here, Lil Fox."
When Baby Robbie walked toward her, Sis Daisy pulled him into her arms and said while crying and laughing...
"Lil Fox, you're the first boy who told us that you'll protect us.
"Just because of these words alone, I'll give my life just to protect you."
Baby Robbie proceeded to show her the brightest smile.
However, Sis Daisy suddenly raised her palm and knocked Baby Robbie out.
Baby Robbie could vaguely hear Sis
Daisy
aying," Give him the
Five. Make sure he forgets
everything he just heard." he just heard."

Sis Five said, "This kid. I truly hope that our evil will be able to protect his innocence and kindness."
As soon as the image switched, it was the moment when Sis Daisy was holding a dagger to assassinate Baby Robbie.
Baby Robbie thought that she
Monster's most loyal hench was
when they were trying to
but
assassinate one another, Sis Daisy
gave up at the last moment.
She was the one who kept him alive.
At that moment, Baby Robbie's heart hurt so badly.
He found out that he had never fSis Daisy. He wonderedkind or vicious?or idiotic?
shet belongs to These tides of memory rolled about in Baby Robbie's mind.
Ultimately, everything paused on Sis Daisy's kind and beautiful face. "Baby Robbie...
"Baby Robbie..."
Baby Robbie's tears started rolling down. In truth, he was the one who had forsaken Sis Daisy.
That gentle and kind Sis Daisy.
Chapter 2374
Chapter 2374
Baby Robbie raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes. Then, he leaped and jumped from the window to the ground before disappearing into the vast darkness. It had been quite some time since he had such an overwhelming feeling. It was as if he had found his direction in life, which was to pursue what Sis Daisy was trying to defend.
Not only did he want to protect the girls from the military intelligence division but he also wanted to fulfill Sis Daisy's wish that she failed to fulfill.
That was to overturn the military intelligence division.
He came to the Banners' household and climbed up the wall like a ghost. He found Roxie's bedroom, unlocked the window, and pushed it open before jumping in.
Roxie was lying on the bed and opened her eyes in alert upon hearing the faint sound of wind coming in from the window.
Baby Robbie had arrived in front of her bed. When Roxie saw Baby Robbie's teary eyes, she asked in distress, "What's the matter, Baby Robbie?"
Baby Robbie asked her in a choked up manner, "Do you have any medicine that's able to restore memories, Sis Six?"
Roxie's eyes flashed a hint of vigilance. "Why on earth do you need such medicine?"
Baby Robbie said, "Give it to me."
Roxie said, "I don't have it."
Baby Robbie looked at her, his gaze somewhat deep with resentment.
Roxie felt helpless, and she said to him angrily, "I thought that you came here looking for me in the dead of night because you were worried about me. I never thought that you'd come here to ask for such harmful military intelligence division stuff."
Seeing her pretending to be angry and jealous, Baby Robbie could not help but laugh. He dragged a stool over to her bed and sat down.
Then, he reached out to touch Roxie's forehead. He made sure she was okay before saying, "Didn't you do this to yourself?"
Roxie was stunned, and a guilty look flashed across her eyes.
"What... do you mean?" She pretended to be confused.
Baby Robbie said, "Tell me honestly. Was it really Thirteen who poisoned you?"
Roxie said, "Why on earth would I lie to you, Robbie? I have no grudge against Thirteen, so why would I frame her? If you don't believe me, you can go ahead and ask Sis-in law. She can testify for me." Baby Robbie pulled Roxie's hand over and used his superficial medical knowledge to feel her pulse.
Meanwhile, he asked, "Why did Lil Thirteen poison you?"
"Well, she betrayed us. She wants to go back to the military intelligence division."
"What's so good about the military intelligence division? Why does she want to go back?" Baby Robbie leaned forward. He was being
slightly aggressive.
Roxie was speechless.
"God knows. Perhaps she misses those majestic days she spent as the leader of the military intelligence division? Or maybe she misses her daddy."
Baby Robbie placed Roxie's hand down and stood up while saying, "It feels like you were poisoned at a rather convenient timing, Sis Six."
Roxie stared at him blankly.
She felt that Baby Robbie was being somewhat odd today.
She carefully answered him, "What do you mean by that, Robbie? I didn't want to be poisoned either."
Baby Robbie said, "Since you're
injured at the moment, all of us are so overwhelmed by your injury that we neglected the task of arresting Thirteen."
Roxie trembled slightly. "Well, it's not too late to go get her now."
Baby Robbie said in a hoarse voice, "It's too late. I'm afraid she's already done what she set out to do."
Roxie fell silent.
Baby Robbie said, "I'll be setting off、 to look for her after visiting you, K like to see her if she's still alive or
her body if she's dead. Bel
Roxie's fingertips were shaking slightly.
After Baby Robbie was done speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
Roxie suddenly called out to him. "Robbie, if you find Thirteen, don't... kill her. We'll be ruined if you decide to make an example out of her."
Baby Robbie said, "Why, it seems like you're terrified that I'll hurt her."
Roxie's smile appeared stiff. "I've thought about it. We're sisters. Even if she's heartless, we can't be unjust."
Chapter 2375
Chapter 2375
Baby Robbie went back to stand in front of Roxie and looked her straight in the eye as he asked, "She hurt you this badly, Sis Six, but you don't even hate her for it? It seems like the other sisters don't hate he either. Don't you think that this is not at all in line with the military intelligence division's principle that all bad deeds must be punished?"
Roxie said in a low voice, "When all is said and done, she's still our sister who grew up with us. The sisters have a deep bond with her. Even though she made a mistake, the sisters probably hope that she can repent."
Baby Robbie said, "The mistake she made caused you to be paralyzed from the waist down. If you girls can forgive her for this sort of mistake, I should truly be praising you for your generosity!" Roxie immediately stopped talking.
Her intuition made her realize that Baby Robbie might have sensed something was amiss.
"Six, it's time for your lies to end."
Roxie sat up in horror.
"Robbie, did you..."
Then, she sighed helplessly. "What did you find out?"
Baby Robbie said, "I know that Thirteen deliberately
beat you into a pulp. This way, I'd be distracted from taking care of you and not bat an eyelid toward her. Thus, she'd have time to return to the military intelligence division to go undercover." Roxie denied it by saying, "I didn't collude with Thirteen to deceive you, Baby Robbie. You have to believe me. I truly don't know why she poisoned me."
Baby Robbie said, "It's not like I don't know how much the sisters tacitly understand one another. As for why she colluded with you, you'd certainly be able to tell her motives just from the look in her eyes." Roxie stammeringly said, "It seems like we couldn't fool you after all."
Baby Robbie angrily said, "Why didn't you discuss with me before making such decisions? You acted on your own initiative. Even though Thirteen has the best martial art skills among you girls, she's still the youngest and the most naive. If she lurks around inside the military intelligence division, she'll be easily exposed."
Roxie said with reddened eyes, "Don't be angry, Robbie. Truthfully, we didn't want to lie to you. It's just that when we entered the military academy, we discovered traces of violence caused by the military intelligence division. At the time, the sisters all knew that a fierce battle was impending but we didn't want you to know."
"Why didn't you want me to know?" Baby Robbie questioned angrily.
Roxie did not speak. It was as if the reason behind it was unspeakable.
Baby Robbie unraveled it in her stead. "It's because you're all following Sis Daisy's instructions to never let me get involved with the core of the military intelligence division. Am I right?"
Roxie looked at Baby Robbie in astonishment.
She shook her head.
Baby Robbie's eyes were flushed red when he said," You don't have to deceive me, Sis Six. I've recalled some of the memories you girls deliberately erased from my head."
Roxie widened her eyes in shock. Then, she quickly came back to her senses and asked, "That diary must've awakened your memory, right?"
Baby Robbie nodded.
Roxie snifffed and said with a
choked up voice," Robbie, I didn't et
plan on leaving you that diary, but it was Sis Daisy's wish. She told me to show it to you after you turned 18."
Baby Robbie was stunned.
"Why when I turn 18?"
Roxie said, "I thought it was odd as well, but now I understand Sis Daisy's intentions.
"She wants you to know that the military intelligence division girls are akin to ghosts who crawled out of hell. Their bodies and souls are dirty. It's best not to contaminate yourself with your love for them," said Roxie.
There were traces of disappointment in her voice.
Baby Robbie scoffed angrily. "How could I abandon you girls? To me, you're my family members and my friends. As for love, I..."
He paused for a moment. At that moment, he seemed to have understood Sis Daisy's kind intentions.
Chapter 2376
Chapter 2376
Perhaps Sis Daisy also hoped that Baby Robbie would not choose someone among the military intelligence division sisters as such a choice would hurt them. It would also drive them apart.
Baby Robbie suddenly laughed out loud. "I spend all my hours in the day with you exceptionally beautiful sisters. What kind of girl will be able to capture my heart?" Roxie pouted playfully. "You're one to talk."
Baby Robbie looked around and noticed that Roxie's room was furnished rather simply. Moreover, the presents given to Roxie by the Ares family were stacked up in the corner. Baby Robbie understood the situation slightly better now and he asked her sullenly, "How's Charles treating you?"
Roxie did not want Baby Robbie to worry and said," Don't worry. Who on earth will be able to bully your Sis Six?" Baby Robbie sneered and said, "They're not coming up with a plan to set your dowry so soon, are they?" Roxie smiled and said, "They'd have to have the capabilities to do so."
Baby Robbie glanced at Roxie somewhat meaningfully
before leaving quietly.
Roxie left out a heavy sigh.
Meanwhile, Baby Robbie went out the window and did not seem to be in a hurry to leave. He lay on the roof and slept there for the night.
Early the next morning.
Roxie was famished. Although there were sounds of laughter downstairs, no one seemed to remember that there was a patient upstairs who had not gotten her meal.
It was only when Charles and the others finished their breakfast that Charles finally instructed the maid," Bring the leftovers to the young miss upstairs."
However, Madam Banners stopped him and said, "The leftovers are for the dogs. She's seriously ill anyway and doesn't have an appetite. She should be getting at most one meal a day to avoid wasting any food."
Charles glanced over at Madam Banners before sighing and saying nothing in retort. Bebe said, "Mom, she's still the adopted daughter of the Ares family. If the Areses find out that we're abusing her, wouldn't they put the blame on us?"
Madam Banners snorted coldly and said, "The master and madam of the Ares family are incredibly busy. They don't have the time and energy to constantly check on a foster daughter. Plus, the only thing they don't lack in that household is a foster daughter."
Bebe said, "Even though that's the
case, the Areses still get their servants to visit our house from time to time. It shows that they haven't forgotten her." Content. belongs to FindNovel.net
"As time passes, they'll naturally abandon her."
Suddenly, a dagger flew in out of nowhere and pierced straight into the dining table. Madam Banners and the others turned pale out of fright.
"Mom!" Bebe and Madam Banners held onto each other.
At this moment, they saw a slender and tall figure walking in from the living room's door.
Who else could it be other than Baby Robbie?
Baby Robbie entered the house as if
it were his own and walked toward Charles and Madam Banners. The expression on his face was terrifyingly cold.
"So you're abusing my Sis Six?"
Bebe looked at the ever so handsome yet terrifying Baby Robbie. She was so stunned by his appearance that she started getting star-struck instead.
Madam Banners quickly defended her family. "You've misunderstood. How could we be abusing Roxie?"
"Then explain why my Sis Six isn't at the table while you guys are eating?"
"Oh, that's because she's not in good health. Plus, she doesn't like moving around these days so we get the maid to serve her food in bed."
"Oh? Is that so? Then where's her breakfast? I'd like to see it." Baby Robbie was countering every move.
Madam Banners did not expect him to be so hard to deal with, so she could only cover up her lies with another lie.
"She said that she wanted noodles, so the servant is about to cook it for her right now." As she spoke, she hinted at the maid.
The maid hurried into the kitchen.
Baby Robbie suddenly sneered instead and said, "Six has never liked noodles."
Madam Banners' face instantly turned pale.
Baby Robbie's handsome face
immediately changed expression et
You
as he scoffed. "Madam Banners, are trying to fool the Areses with that IQ of yours?"
Chapter 2377
Chapter 2377
Madam Banners could guess that the guest was not here with good intentions. Nonetheless, she might have done too many shameful deeds that she had gotten brazen. When faced with Baby Bobbie's doubts, she still tried to calmly resolve them.
"Hey now, Young Master. How could you say that?
How dare I provoke the Ares family's authority?"
Then, she showed an aggrieved look and said bitterly," It's hard for a stepmother. Ever since she came into my household, we've given her all of our delicious food and drinks. She likes sleeping in, and we allow her to do so. We've also allowed her to eat in bed. Yet in the end, my good intentions are not rewarded. You've even misunderstood that I'm abusing her."
Charles quickly helped her. "That's right, Young
Master. Just because Boxie doesn't eat breakfast with us, it doesn't mean that we're abusing her. She's just still sleeping in at this hour."
Baby Robbie looked at the shameless pair of parents. How could these people say such lies without batting an eyelid?
"Six has never woken up late."
Even if they could fool others, how could Baby Robbie be fooled by them?
The military intelligence division sisters had
developed the habit of getting up early to practice their martial arts. Even in the most comfortable environment, their habits could not be changed.
As for them, improving their martial art skills was the foundation of being able to save one's life. This was a habit imprinted deep within them.
Baby Robbie looked at the couple angrily and gritted his teeth. "Take me to see Sis Six."
Since it seemed that they would not be satisfied until they drove Roxie to her death, Baby Robbie had to completely expose their lies.
As he would be leaving Imperial Capital for a while, Baby Robbie had to settle Roxie's matter well so that her life was peaceful.
However, he never expected to see that Roxie was living in an abyss of suffering. How could he just stand idly by?
Charles suddenly panicked.
He was afraid that after Roxie and Robert met each other, she would tell on them.
Madam Banners said with a smile, "Young Master, it's better if you refrain from entering Roxie's room. After all, the two of you are at the marrying age. If you like Roxie and have the intention of marrying her, I won't stop you from going in to see her. But if you don't plan on marrying her, you should leave her with a clean reputation so that you won't stop her from getting married in the future."
Baby Robbie glared at her. "Your brain's truly foul. I'll say it again, she's my sister. Can't I visit my own sister?"
Madam Banners would never dare to allow him to see Roxie now. She said, "But you're not related by blood." Baby Robbie was enraged.
"Madam Banners, are you afraid that
after la
I lay my eyes on my sister,
she'll complain about all of shameful deeds you've done?
Madam Banner shuddered. "You've misunderstood m e, Young Master."
Baby Robbie said grimly, "It seems like I shouldn't be too polite when dealing with a rascal like you."
Madam Banners and Charles
thought that Baby Robbie was just a child. Plus, it was rumored that this one did not possess the same wits as his brother, Jenson. There were also very few rumors regarding Baby Robbie.
Hence, Madam Banners and Charles thought that they were in luck and this kid Robbie would not pose much of a threat to them.
After all, children's hearts were rather pure and kind.
Who would have thought that Baby Robbie's next words would scare them to death?
In front of Charles and Madam Banners, he made a phone call to Jens.
After the call was connected, Baby Robbie said to Jens, "Do me a favor, Jens."
"Say it."
"Destroy Charles Banners' company."
Charles' face turned ashen as he glared at the main culprit, Madam Banners.
Even so, Madam Banners did not react at all.
After all, she still had an enormous power that belonged to her own family to rely on.
Who would have guessed that Baby Robbie's next words were, "And sanction all of Madam Banners' family's enterprises."
Chapter 2378
Chapter 2378
Jens did not ask for a reason, nor did he stop to think whether it was right or wrong. He acted as if he was a brother who spoiled his little siblings and said, "Sure. As you wish."
This time, Madam Banners could not control herself anymore as her entire body collapsed backward. She shouted, "Young Master Jens, you can't sanction our family's enterprises without distinguishing between right and wrong."
She thought that Jens would listen to her and give her a chance to refute. However, Jens' gloomy voice was heard saying, "Madam Banners, us Areses always cover up each other's shortcomings. Don't you know that?"
In the end, Jens added, "You abused our Sis Six and are refusing to give her food. Now you're scheming something to take her belongings. Don't assume that we don't know what you're doing to Six." Madam Banners slumped on the floor.
Baby Robbie looked at the ashen Banners couple and smiled sinisterly. "Karma has a way of coming back to you."
Then, he strode upstairs and quickly pushed Roxie down.
When Charles laid eyes on Roxie, he was completely
guilt-stricken.
As if she had seen her savior, Madam Banners stepped forward and took Roxie's hand while pleading, "Mommy was wrong, Roxie. Forgive me. I promise you that I'll definitely treat you as my own in the future. I won't dare to abandon you and abuse you again."
Roxie pushed her away in disgust.
As for the overbearing Bebe, seeing her mother kneeling in front of Roxie like a bereaved dog filled her heart with resentment.
Nonetheless, she yielded upon looking at Baby Robbie's gloomy face. She merely stood aside while gritting her teeth.
Madam Banners pulled Bebe over and asked her to kneel beside her. Madam Banners said, "Hurry up and apologize to your sister."
Bebe gritted her teeth and said, "Is she not afraid of God's wrath? How dare a junior like her ask a senior to kneel? Why should she receive such honor?"
Roxie's eyes showed a fierce glint of cold light.
She remembered the inhuman experience she suffered back in the military intelligence division. It was crueler than God's wrath.
It started to seem as if Bebe was the one who stole the peaceful life she was supposed to have.
However, instead of feeling sorry for her, Bebe went as
far as to bully her.
Roxie said coldly, "Don't you know, Bebe? If it wasn't for you, my father wouldn't have divorced my mother And I'd still be that child who has both of her parents' love. You were the one who stole my happiness. What do you have to say about that?"
Bebe looked at her speechlessly. "My father and mother are together because they love each other. Dad doesn't love your mother because your mom doesn't have the means to keep him by her side."
Madam Banners was allowing Bebe to fight for justice.
She thought that Bebe would be able to wake Roxie's conscience.
However, Roxie grew even more irritated. Her deep unfathomable eyes looked at Bebe coldly. "You're nothing but an illegitimate daughter, Bebe! What right do you have to speakill of my mother? Even if my mother couldn't keep my father, it still doesn't change the fact that your mother is a mistress and you're an illegitimate daughter."
Bebe was furious. "Even as the illegitimate daughter, I'm still the young lady of the Banners family while you're nothing but the Banners' abandoned daughter." Roxie scoffed ruthlessly. "Then I'll let you have a taste of what it's like to be an abandoned child."
Roxie turned to look at her dejected father. She shook her head and sighed. "I'll give you a chance, Dad. It's up to you whether you'll cherish it or not." Charles was overjoyed. "Do tell, Roxie."
Roxie said, "I'll allow you to keep your company, but there's one condition. You must divorce this woman."
Charles was dumbfounded.
Meanwhile, Madam Banners and Bebe roared at her in exasperation. "You're too cruel, Roxie Banners!"
Chapter 2379
Chapter 2379
Madam Banners flew into rage out of humiliation and scoffed. "I've been married to your father for more than ten years. Do you think we'd get a divorce just because you said so?" After reprimanding Roxie, Madam Banners glared at Charles domineeringly.
Charles was the son-in-law who married into her family. He had been suppressed by his wife for so many years. To him, Madam Banners' words were absolute and he never dared to disobey them.
"Darling, just take a good look at what kind of good daughter you gave birth to? Such an unfilial daughter. We'd not be missing out on anything if we toss her aside."
Charles, however, was no longer as submissive as before and glared at Madam Banners fiercely.
Just from that sharp gaze, it made Madam Banners, the arrogant woman who had always been pampered, feel a sharp coldness. She could not believe that her useless husband would stare at her with such terrifying eyes while keeping his guard up.
"Darling..." she muttered.
"Shut up!" Charles reprimanded her. "If you offend Roxie and the Areses, the Banners are done for. Do you want me to lose the last ancestral property of the
Banners family?"
Madam Banners stared at Charles in disbelief.
When Roxie saw Madam Banners' desperate expression, Roxie could not help but chuckle.
"Are you disappointed, Madam Banners? My father has always been obedient to you, trying to get in your good graces. Now, because of my words alone, he's so indifferent and fierce to you."
Madam Banners roared back. "It's because of a b*tch like you trying to sow discord. My husband has no choice but to treat me like this."
"How ridiculous. Just because you took my father away from my mother, you think my father really loves you? I'm here to tell you that my father doesn't love you. He merely covets your glory and wealth. He covets your ability to bring benefits to the Banners family. He's never loved you, because he loves himself more."
Madam Banners crawled over to Charles' side and reached out to pull him. Meanwhile, Charles looked at her fearfully.
Madam Banners refused to give in
and said, "Darling, I know that you still love me. You're just fearful of standing up for me because this girl is pressuring you, right?"
Charles had a conflicted expression on his face. He looked at Roxie helplessly and said, "Are you truly willing to help us Banners, Roxie?"
Roxie said, "I told you, as long as you divorce her and draw a clear line with them, I'll help you."
Charles glanced at Bebe with some affection before gritting his teeth and saying, "Alright. I'll give you my word."
Madam Banners fell to the floor and howled in grief.
"Charles Banners, you wretched bastard! How can you be so heartless as to abandon us mother and daughter?!" Bebe, the young wealthy daughter of the household, grew up spoiled under the care of her two parents.
Now that she suddenly lost her
father's protection and affection, it felt like the sky had fallen. She cried in a heart-wrenching manner while pulling on Charles' hand and
begging him, "Dad, please don't toss me aside."
Perhaps Charles had zero regards for his tigress-like wife, but Bebe was still his biological daughter.
Having worked hard to raise her, he really did love Bebe.
Bebe cried endlessly, and Charles could only listen as she wailed. Then, he looked at Roxie timidly.
"Roxie, Bebe is your half-sister. She's innocent in all this. I can't just abandon her."
Roxie said with a cold face, "How
affectionate of you. Dad, when you abandoned me, I was just a naive toddler at the time. I cried and wailed when you left me as well, but did you ever take into account our blood relation and kinship?

Chapter 2380
"Over the years, you have built a new family with this woman. The two of you gave birth to Bebe. It can even be said that you have a happy and blissful family. When it's in the dead of night, have you thought of your sickly wife and the daughter you abandoned and forgot about? Do you ever feel guilty when you think of them?
"All these years, were you even aware that your daughter had gone missing? If you had known, would you have been heartbroken? Did you dream about your daughter? And when you dreamed of her, was she curled up on the street in tattered clothes? Did you dream that she was harassed by other men and she was crying to you for help? Did you dream of her desperate and helpless begging?"
When faced with Roxie's denunciation, Charles bowed his head in shame.
Roxie's usually cold face was cracking slightly, revealing a shattered and heartbroken expression.
She glared at Charles angrily. "You cherish and care for Bebe with all your heart, Dad. She's never slept in the wild, never suffered any grievances, and never suffered the scorn of others. She grew up to be the most arrogant young lady. She lives her life as if the world revolves around her.
"Just take a look at your two daughters. You're the one
who gave both of them life, but why do you treat them differently? You've been so kind to her and so heartless toward me. Have you regretted it just a little bit, Dad?
"Heh. I think that from the moment you made up your mind to abandon us mother and daughter, I was no longer your daughter, right? When I went missing, Mom would've gone to look for you for help. I suppose you never came looking for me and never dreamt about me. I think you've never even wondered how I was doing all these years?"
"Roxie, I'm not as heartless as you're describing me. I do love you," Charles quibbled.
Roxie sneered at him as if she had heard the biggest joke. She said coldly, "You're saying you love me?
Don't you think your lying skills need to be improved? Oh wait, it's not that you can't lie, it's that you don't know me. After being scorned all over and experiencing how cruel humans could be, I've honed my ability to
see through people's head
have to be an expert to be able to
deceive me.
"If you had truly loved me, or even felt slightly guilty all these years, you would've been delighted when I escaped all of the calamity and returned home.
However, I couldn't feel any of your joy. You've never treated me kindly, Dad. I'm so disappointed in you, so very disappointed."
Charles looked at his daughter, and
he recalled what she looked like when she was a baby. She was so
small and ugly. She was such a
fragile and helpless life at that time. He would have never imagined that one day, she would sit in a
O
wheelchair as if she was on the verge of death but still manage to give him such a compelling sense of oppression.
She was the strong one while he was nothing but an ant to her. She could pick him up little by little, lift him into the air, and make him crash to the ground. "I'm sorry, Roxie." He apologized to her.
At this moment, he pondered in his heart and wondered if it was due to repentance or because of her prestige. Nonetheless, he had to sincerely apologize to her.
Roxie's eyes became extremely cold. "Your apology won't give me back the childhood I lost, Dad. Would you like to know what terrible places I was previously living in and what terrible things I've done all these years?"
Charles' expression looked like he was against the idea.
"I was abducted by traffickers and became the daughter of someone else's family. They abused me, s o when I escaped, I was taken in by the devil himself. He taught me to kill, and I killed every day. Because if I didn't kill those people, they'd kill me."
