Chapter 88: I’ll Never Like Daddy
Meanwhile, Ruby, who had stepped away to call James, missed the chaos.
Hearing her daughter's cries made her worried and her face instantly became gloomy.
When Ruby saw Kate surrounded by a crowd, she yelled, "What's going on, Kate? Why are you acting like this? Are you really this shameless? I can't believe I gave birth to such a useless child. What are you sitting there for? Haven't you already embarrassed yourself enough?"
Ruby grabbed Kate by the wrist and dragged her out of the banquet hall with a look of hatred, not pity, in her eyes.
"You're hurting me, Mom! Why... Why am I an embarrassment? I was just doing what you taught me! This is all Chantelle's fault. She's the reason for all of this! If not for her... Ouch! Let go of me!"
Kate protested frantically, trying to break free from Ruby's strong grip, but Ruby ignored her and pulled her away from the scene of humiliation.
When they disappeared from view, Daniel whispered into Chantelle's ear, "Ms. Bently, I have a way to make the Bentlys disappear from Easthan for good. Just say the word."
Daniel could see the anger and relief in Chantelle's eyes, and it made him wonder how much pain Ruby and Kate had caused her in the past.
She was sweet and kind-hearted, so she wouldn't have hated the Bentlys this much unless they had hurt her deeply.
He wanted to help by getting the Bentlys out of Easthan, knowing it would make her happy.
It was also his way of making up for the pain he had caused her. He had neglected her, and Kate had influenced him to make Chantelle's life worse.
