Falling for My Contractual Wife

After sending Chief Lawson home, only the father and daughter were in the car. Only then did Marshall start to reprimand

her.

"You're out there all day, what exactly are you doing? How dare you get into fights and hurt people! Do you know how much money I spent to bail you out? A whole of 400 thousand dollars! 400 thousand dollars! You wasteful brat!" Ava was frustrated. If it weren't for Louise trying to solve her problems and forcing her to harm Grace, would she have been arrested? Although she strongly disliked Grace, she never once thought of harming her.

When she was in the factory, she wasn't thinking clearly. Now that she had calmed down and thought about it, she felt slightly scared. If either Justin or Grace had died today, even with the Adkins family's power, they might not have been able to bail her out. Marshall continued resentfully, "How did I end up with a scourge like you who causes trouble all day? Look at your sister. Can't you be like her?"

She couldn't bear it when he said that. It was fine if he taught her a lesson, but not praising one while belittling the other. He had no idea how malicious his beloved illegitimate daughter could be!

"Yes! I'm a scourge! Louise is the apple of your eye! She can make you proud! You're only good at belittling me all day long! Have you ever considered my feelings? She's only been back for less than a year. Do you know what kind of person she is? Watch out for she might kill you someday!" If Marshall weren't driving, he would have slapped her twice.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly in anger. "You ungrateful child! Ungrateful!

Feeling irritated, Ava covered her ears.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Marshall looked at her from the rearview mirror. When he saw her stubborn look, he could only sigh helplessly.

By the time the car reached the Adkins family residence, Marshall's anger had subsided significantly.

Ava ran into the house as soon as she got out of the car. Shannon was anxiously sitting on the sofa waiting.

When she saw Ava return, she rushed over and pulled her, checking her over repeatedly. "Ava, are you injured? Let me take a look."

Ava suddenly hugged her. "Mom, I'm so sad. Dad only knows how to scold me all day long...

Compared to Shannon, Marshall's attitude made Ava feel even more indignant.

Shannon comforted her. Although there were also some words of reprimand, it was the concern and worry more than anything.

Marshall came in after parking the car. He looked at the mother and daughter with an intense gaze.

"You're the one who spoils her! I spent 400 thousand dollars today. She harmed someone. I heard that the person was sent to the hospital for surgery. I wonder who she offended and how much I'll have to compensate!""" Ava lowered her head and fell silent.

"Now, explain clearly to me the cause and consequences of the matter. Why did you kidnap someone? Why did you stab someone with a knife? And what's the name of the person you stabbed? Which family the person is from?"

Ava remained silent."

At this moment, Louise came down from upstairs and tried to smooth things over. "Dad, Ava just came back. Don't reprimand her anymore. She must have been scared out of her wits today.

"As for the compensation, leave it to me."

Ava was disgusted by her words. She was best at acting like a well-behaved girl in front of the elders. She was indeed inferior to Louise in this aspect.

Upon hearing her words, Marshall's anger subsided significantly. "Alright, I'll leave it to you to handle. I trust you. I'm tired too. Let's rest early!"
