Chapter 10: Her Father Knew
Anita sat before Mr. Reginald White, who held up a newspaper, reading. They’d been like that for over ten minutes – no one saying a word to the other.
Seeing this, the butler glanced at the sky, the sun setting. He sighed, as expected of this father and daughter, "I’ll get the servants to prepare your room, Miss."
"No, I’m not staying the night," Anita replied calmly, then returned her attention to her father. "If you’re going to pretend to read, at least do it right." She continued, "You’ve been holding that upside down for over ten minutes."
Mr. White froze, his eyes finally glossing over the words and realizing he’d indeed been holding the newspaper upside down.
His cheeks burned with embarrassment. Truly, he wasn’t reading. His mind had been lost on how to start a conversation with this daughter of his. It’s been eight years since they’ve last spoken to each other.
They saw each other in gatherings sometimes, but had never exchanged a word. He had his people keeping an eye on her over the years, he’d indeed thought that his judgement of David and his family was wrong, until he received recent reports of David’s evil actions against his daughter.
But Mr. White didn’t stop David from trapping his daughter, betraying her, and shattering her heart.
That’s right.
Mr. White knew everything David had done to his daughter - from trapping and rendering her powerless, to cheating on her, infecting her with STDs, and losing their child.
