Chapter 3 My two brothers stared at me with faces like thunder . " Charlotte , let me make this clear , we actually hold real power in the Group , and you're still a student . The ones who should get out are you . " " Hey , what's going on ? Why is everyone just standing around ? Why haven't you taken your seats ? " someone asked as a tall , distinguished middle - aged man pushed through the crowd . He was William Lane , the Ironclad Group's CEO , and my biological father . He hurried over to Tiffany and gently brushed the tears from the corner of her eye . " Tiffany , don't cry , " he cooed . " Who bullied you ? " " Tell me and I'll sort it out right now . " Joseph pointed at me , furious . " Who else would dare lay a hand on Tiffany right under my nose but that insolent brat , Charlotte ? " At his words , my father's face darkened and he slapped me . " Charlotte , how dare you act so presumptuous , abusing your connections to pick on Tiffany , " he snapped . " Get on your knees and apologize to Tiffany right now , or you can forget about your allowance for the next year . " } I looked at my father , who was blaming me without understanding the situation , and felt nothing but disappointment . Sure enough , he was still the same as in my previous life , blindly favoring Tiffany with my two brothers . I'd seen this coming , but it still hurt , deep down . I never understood before . I was his real daughter , while Tiffany was nothing more than a plaything for my two brothers . Yet after my father met Tiffany , it was like he was under some kind of spell . He doted on her like crazy . It was especially after learning that both of my brothers had been keeping Tiffany as a mistress , my father flew into a rage . He whipped them both relentlessly for an entire day and night . Chapter 3 Download 37.50 % Seeing they were being whipped , I'd rushed to intervene , to defend them , but in the end , my father had mistakenly lashed out at me twice . The scars from those lashes still marked my arms today . After that , my father stopped my brothers from keeping Tiffany and used his connections to send her to the best university in Althoria . And then he told my brothers , if they really cared for Tiffany , they should compete fairly for her hand . The one who married her would inherit his fortune . In my past life , my father's bizarre behavior had piqued my curiosity , so I secretly investigated Tiffany's background . That was when I learned the truth , Tiffany turned out to be my father's first love's daughter . She looked so much like her mother that when my father saw her for the first time, he recognized her immediately . The power of a lost first love was immense , just a face that resembled his first love was enough to captivate him entirely . What a tragedy for my mother , who had passed away , never knowing that my father had kept a woman in his heart all this time . As I thought of this , I sneered at my father . " I won't apologize , " I said coldly . " But what about my two brothers ? They claim Tiffany is their sister , the rightful heir of the Ironclad Group . Don't you think you owe everyone an explanation ? " At that , Tiffany immediately cast a pitiful look at my father , knowing that he couldn't stand seeing her cry . And sure enough , as soon as he saw Tiffany's eyes fill with tears , he slapped me across the face twice . "Explain what ? What they said is true . Tiffany is my beloved daughter , the heiress of the Ironclad Group . " I stared at my father as he lied to our faces and shouted , " William Lane , how can you justify this to my dead mother ? Do you have the nerve to say that again with a clear conscience ? " He ignored my words , turning to my brothers instead . " Throw this trash out . She's been bullying your sister . " Chapter 3 37.50 % Download 註 As I looked at my father , cold and unfeeling , I felt a deep sense of mixed emotions . So this was the man my mother loved for a lifetime ? This was the father I admired for eighteen years since childhood ? I thought my mother never expecting that after her death , the two sons she had taken in out of kindness would harm her precious daughter for the sake of a kept woman . And that her own husband would not protect his flesh and blood , but instead cast his own daughter out for the sake of his first love's child . In that moment , I felt nothing but pity for myself and my late mother . I raised my head and met my father's gaze . Coldly , I said , " This is my family's Ironclad Group . You outsiders have no right to swagger around here . " I made sure to emphasize " my family's " loudly . The moment I finished , my father snapped, and he ordered my brothers to pin me down so I couldn't move . " Your family's? " He laughed mockingly . " That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard ! " Then he stepped behind me , yanked my hair , and slammed my forehead against the glass wall of the hall . " For years , I've been running the Ironclad Group . Why shouldn't it be mine ? Why can't I decide who inherits it ? " " I gritted my teeth , fighting back tears , and screamed firmly , " The Ironclad Group is my grandmother's ! I'm the only heir ! " " Bang ! Bang ! Bang ! " The moment I finished speaking , my head was slammed again against the glass wall . My father shouted , " Charlotte , stop dreaming ! I already earmarked the Ironclad Group for Tiffany as wedding gifts from the bride's family last year ! Whoever marries her will inherit the Ironclad Group ! " His words stunned everyone in the hall , and their eyes toward Tiffany grew even more intense . Just then , a sharp , elderly female voice rang out behind me . " William , say that one more time if you dare . Who is the heir to the Ironclad Group ? " Chapter 3 Wanna watch the rest of " Office Girl " ? Download Drama Pops and watch the re ... Download
