Chapter 2

"I will pay for my daughter's education myself and I don't need anyone's help!"

As soon as I finished speaking, my daughter next to me pushed me hard.

"No, I don't want you to control me, I only like Uncle Morris!"

Hearing my daughter's words, I widened my eyes and couldn't believe my ears.

Was this really what my biological daughter could say?

I wanted to teach my daughter a lesson and Suzy's voice came out again.

"Mario, did you hear that? Even your daughter doesn't want you anymore. What else do you have to say? If I were you, I would just stay there and avoid embarrassing myself."

After saying the last sentence, she hung up the phone.

The scene was suddenly silent. Seeing this situation, I instantly understood the real purpose of Suzy asking me to come. She wanted to sow discord between me and Lucy.

I looked at my daughter beside me with some heartache. "Lucy, tell me that you also think I embarrassed you, right?"

As soon as I said this, my daughter nodded quickly. "That's right, I'm studying in an aristocratic school and the tuition alone costs 30,000 dollars a year. Mom said that your salary can't even support yourself and I will only suffer if I follow you."

After hearing her words, I didn't get angry, but smiled slightly. "Then tell me, who is qualified to be your father?"

Although I knew that these words must had been taught by someone, I still felt a little dissatisfied when my own daughter despised me.

Lucy rolled her eyes a few times and then blurted out. "Uncle Morris, only Uncle Morris is qualified to be my father."

I asked her with a smile, "Then can you tell me who Uncle Morris is?"

However, this time, before my daughter could speak, the parents around me had already told me the answer.

"No way, this person doesn't even know Mr. Morris. Is he from our capital?"

"Mr. Morris's business is spread across various industries and even this school was built with the money of Mr. Morris."

"Boy, I advise you to ask less about the Morris Family, otherwise you will get into trouble!"

After listening to these people's words, I was shocked. Not to mention my status, they actually belittled a father in front of the child.

I couldn't help but feel a little scared about what valued ​​this school, which claimed to be a small Oxford University, was conveying.

No wonder the daughter of the director, who had always been well-behaved, could say such rebellious words.

I was too lazy to talk nonsense with these people. I planned to take my daughter away first and slowly settled accounts with the principal later.

But before I could take a step, Lucy bit the back of my hand fiercely. I shook her hand away in pain and stared at her in surprise.

"Lucy! Why are you biting me? I am your father!"

Since my daughter was born, I have never been angry with her, but this time I really couldn't bear it. I could pretend that I didn't hear any insults from outsiders. Even if my wife scolded me on the phone, I would just think she was blind.

But facing the betrayal of my own daughter, I felt a chill.

Lucy made a face at me and then pouted her mouth, looking dissatisfied.

"I don't want to go back with you. I want to wait for Uncle Morris to pick me up."

Looking at the strange daughter in front of me, I couldn't help it anymore and my tone became a little louder.

Chapter 3

"Lucy! I don't care who your Uncle Morris is. You have to go with me now! What your Uncle Morris can give you, I can also give you!"

Who would have thought that just this sentence would completely anger my daughter.

"Bullshit! Even my mother doesn't want you. How can you support me?"

I suppressed my anger and stared at her. "Who told you that I need to rely on my mother?"

As soon as the voice fell, several parents who had a good relationship with my wife stood up quickly.

"Hey, wait, who was talking here? It turned out to be a dog raised by Miss Harrington's family."

"That's right, if you don't know, you would think you are so great, but you are just a cuckold."

"If your wife knew what you said, I'm afraid you will have to kneel on the washboard all night when you go back."

They mocked and applauded at the same time, looking very excited.

I glanced at them and memorized their appearance.

"If I'm not mistaken, you guys should be in the same group with my wife, right?"

From the beginning when I entered the school, these people kept instigating my daughter and me to be in opposition.

I thought Suzy deliberately arranged it. But I wondered, she didn't think that these few people could make me bow my head?

If it weren't for the fact that the principal of this school had a good relationship with me, I would have demolished the school.

"Little bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? We have nothing to do with Miss Harrington."

"We just can't stand people like you who delay the future of children."

"How dare you, a waste who can't even pay the tuition, question us?"

I suppressed my anger and looked at them meaningfully.

"I don't care whether you know my wife or not. I just want to tell you one thing now. If anyone dares to sow discord between me and my daughter, I don't mind having him carried out horizontally."

My sudden burst of momentum frightened these flatterers and they hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a complete sentence.

In the whole scene, only my daughter was still pestering me.

"I don't allow you to say that about them. These people are Uncle Morris's good friends. Mom told me that if it weren't for Uncle Morris, I would have no chance to study here. If you dare to pester me again, believe it or not, I will call Uncle Morris and let him teach you a lesson!"

Hearing my daughter's words, my anger reached its peak.

In less than half an hour, she mentioned Uncle Morris no less than ten times, but she didn't even call me dad.

What kind of ecstasy did this man surnamed Morris give her?

"Lucy, I don't care how many good your Uncle Morris has done for you, I am the one who gave birth to you and raised you. How can you help outsiders to talk about your own father?"

I looked at her calmly, but I was very anxious in my heart.

After all, she was my own daughter. Even if she disliked me, I could bear to get angry with her. But I never expected that my blind tolerance would become the capital for my daughter to get worse.

"You will not be my father soon! Mom said that after the parent-teacher meeting today, she will divorce you. Uncle Morris will come to pick me up at that time!"

My eyes were full of bloodshot at this moment, but I was still trying my best to suppress my emotions.

"Lucy, did Mom tell you these words just now?"

My daughter nodded subconsciously, with a gleam in her eyes.

Chapter 4

"Of course, Uncle Morris is very good to me. He will take me to a Michelin restaurant for a big meal later."

It was not until now that I realized clearly that my daughter and wife had betrayed me long ago.

And the culprit was the man surnamed Morris!

Unfortunately, they found the wrong target. I was not a waste who could be slaughtered at will. The Morris Family was just a family. For me, it was as easy as killing a chicken. Money was not worth mentioning in front of power.

My daughter didn't know that I was completely angry at the moment and continued to exaggerate in front of me.

"I advise you to leave quickly, lest I am afraid that Uncle Morris will misunderstand you."

As she said, she pushed me hard.

Although she was not strong, she was very insulting.

Seeing this scene, the parents who had seen it before also followed suit.

"Where is the security guard? Pull this person out quickly. Our class does not welcome such parents!"

I swept around fiercely, my eyes were particularly sharp.

"Everyone, are you trying to force me to leave? Don't forget, I am still Lucy's father and I am also here for the parent-teacher meeting."

As soon as I finished speaking, my daughter took out her mobile phone in the next second.

"No, you are not my father."

After saying that, she called my wife again in front of everyone.

After the call was connected, my daughter handed over the phone with a proud look on her face.

"Mom has something to tell you."

Soon, Suzy's cold voice came out. "Mario, I want to divorce you!"

I had already prepared myself mentally and replied expressionlessly, "It seems that you should have found a new buyer, right?"

Suzy's excitement almost overflowed the screen. "Just tell me, how much money do you want? As long as you agree to give your daughter to me, you can name any price."

I glanced at Lucy beside me with my peripheral vision and said coldly. "Let's talk about the money later. Now I just want to know one thing."

As I said that, I suddenly changed the subject and my face gradually became ferocious.

"Suzy, tell me honestly, is Lucy my daughter!?"

As soon as the voice fell, the surroundings suddenly became quiet and everyone looked at me with gloating.

On the other end of the phone, Suzy paused, then sneered. "You guessed right, Lucy does not have any blood relationship with you."

I took several deep breaths in a row before calming down. "Is her biological father's surname Morris?"

I suddenly remembered that on the day of the birth, Suzy insisted that the child take her surname, otherwise she would not enter the delivery room. I had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

It seemed that all this was planned by her long ago.

At this moment, in order to found out who was cheating on me, I didn’t care about the strange looks of people around me.

Soon, the person on the other end of the phone challenged me, "Mario, even if you know what can you do? I advise you to divorce me immediately, at least you can get a lot of money to settle down. For someone like you who only knows how to eat gigolo, why not do such a deal?"

Faced with Suzy's provocations again and again, I did not tear my face with her, but tolerated her again and again. It was not because I was such a coward, but because I needed to find out the truth of the matter.

Now that it was confirmed that Lucy was not my daughter, I naturally didn’t need to indulge this mother and daughter anymore.

"Enough!"

I suddenly yelled into the phone and then looked at the group of parents around me.

"I don't think this parent-teacher meeting can be held today. Now I give all of you two choices. If you know what's good for you, take your children away from me immediately. Those who stay will perish with the man surnamed Morris."

As soon as I finished speaking, the parents of the students around me laughed out loud.

"You all heard it, this poor bastard actually had the audacity to ask us to make a choice. He really doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."

"We all heard the phone call just now. The man behind Miss Harrington is Mr. Morris, the richest man in New Jersey."

"That's right. He can crush you to death with just a flick of his finger. You should be the one who runs away."

Why was it Mr. Morris again? I hated this man surnamed Morris to the extreme now!

I suppressed my anger and spoke coldly. "This man surnamed Morris may be high and mighty in your eyes and out of reach. But to me, he is nothing but a little money."

When Lucy heard someone insulting Uncle Morris, her face immediately darkened.

"You bad guy, I don't allow you to say that about Uncle Morris!"

I gave her a hard look, with the corners of my mouth slightly raised.

"Okay, okay, since you are not my daughter, I don't need to be polite to you. By the way, I have another good news for you, your Uncle Morris is going to go bankrupt soon."

As soon as the voice fell, Lucy immediately became angry and rushed towards me with her teeth and claws bared.

At this moment, the door of the classroom was kicked open fiercely.

After the loud noise, everyone turned their heads at the same time.

A young man of the same age as me walked in arrogantly. "Mr. Barton, what's the point of bullying a child? If you have the guts, try to touch me?"
