Chapter 10: He's Your Future Brother-In-Law!
"Coddle her, that's all you've ever done since she was young. She's now spoilt beyond reason because
of you."
Benson glared at her with dissatisfaction. "I don't know what's wrong with you. It's clear that Gretchen
is your biological daughter, but you always favour that damned girl!"
"That's enough, Benson. Just put a cork in it for a minute, will you?"
Just as Pauline said that a maid ran in and said, "Sir, ma'am, Miss Gwenda is back."
"Gwenda's back?"
Pauline stood up anxiously. "Why did she come back by herself? Did the doctor discharge her
already?"
"It's just as well! I ought to teach her a lesson!"
Following the angry words of Benson, Gwenda stepped into the threshold.
Pauline came forward at once and asked with concern, "Gwenda, why didn't you tell us that you were
coming home? How are you feeling now? What did the doctor say?"
...
Facing Pauline's inquiries after her wellbeing once again, Gwenda felt like she was in a dream.
...
In her previous life, she did not know about Pauline's scheming.
She only thought that her stepmother pitied her for losing her mother when she was young, therefore
taking extra care of her. NôvelDrama.Org content.
But it was through this exact mode of excessive flattery that raised her to be an arrogant and unruly
brat. Thus, people began to hate her and stay away from her.
Even her own father was dissatisfied with her.
"Gwenda, Gwenda..."
Seeing that she was in a daze, Pauline looked worried. "Are you okay?"
Returning from her state of stupor, Gwenda glanced coldly at Pauline and turned to head upstairs.
Such an attitude stunned the three people present in the room.
Benson shouted angrily, "You stop right there! What deplorable manners! Shouldn't you be apologising
to your sister after what you've done to her?"
"Apologize? Me?"
Gwenda turned around with a snort of disbelief. "Didn't she tell you why I slapped her?" Gwenda
sneered.
Gretchen blinked as she looked at her mother in panic.
Pauline stood up quickly and played peacemaker. "Forget it, Benson. As long as Gwenda's back and
safe, it's fine. There's no need to say more."
"Why not? You dare to do it, but you dare not admit to it?"
Casting a cold look at Pauline, Gwenda's harsh gaze finally fell on Gretchen. She said coolly,
"Gretchen Evans seduced my fiancé behind my back. Having caught them, why shouldn't I slap her?"
Hearing that, the three were shocked.
Gretchen flinched fearfully. Benson looked at her in disbelief. "Is that true?"
"Dad... I..."
Panic flickered through Gretchen's eyes as she involuntarily scooted further back into the sofa.
Seeing this, Pauline quickly stood in front of her. "Gwenda, your sister already knows that she was
wrong. If you're angry, just come at me."
"Come at you? Oh, I see. It seems that you've known what she's been doing this whole time."
Gwenda said disdainfully, "Humph, that's not surprising. You might've even been the one who taught
her to do this."
Pauline froze. She could not adapt to Gwenda's sudden change of attitude.
All this while, Benson was still mulling over Gwenda's revelation. Stared at Gretchen, he asked, "Are
you really with Martin?"
Gretchen knew that she could no longer avoid this, so she nodded in admittance.
"You b*tch!" Benson was so enraged that he slapped her.
...
With a loud smack, Gretchen's face became even more swollen than ever.
"You are a disgrace!"
Benson roared, "He is your future brother-in-law!"
