Chapter 837 - 845: If It Weren’t for Her

"He kept her for many years, and at every turn spoke of his kindness. Jane Sampson was not foolish; she understood. Father Sampton, the man she called dad, was using his kindness to blackmail her."

Nowadays, this house had reached the point where they had to use kindness as a bargaining chip.

This house, where was this her home?

"Jane Sampson, don’t think that marrying James Black gives you the right to act recklessly. Do you think being James Black’s wife is indispensable to you? Perhaps, at any moment, Mrs. Black could be replaced by someone else. With your presumptuous arrogance, be careful that later, you might not even have a home," Julie Sampton sneered continuously. "So, who are you trying to impress with that impressive demeanor? Was there a single word wrong in what I posted on Twitter?"

"Julie Sampton, I told you to shut up, didn’t you hear?" Father Sampton picked up the empty cup from the table and hurled it towards Julie Sampton, startling her as the plastic cup landed with a clatter at her feet, turning her face pale.

"Wrong, Julie Sampton, every word you said was wrong."

Suddenly, Grandpa Sampton’s voice came from the doorway, each word laden with rebuke and scolding, "Julie Sampton, do you think just because you’re the biological daughter of the Sampton family, you can bully your foster sister like that? Do you think you’re a high and mighty princess that Jane Sampson is just a foster daughter for you to bully?"

Granny Sampton and Bright Sampton, supporting Grandpa Sampton, slowly entered from the doorway; the three of them had been standing there for a while and had heard almost the entire conversation in the living room.

"If it weren’t for Jane Sampson, the person living at someone else’s mercy would be our whole family, including you, Julie Sampton!" Grandpa Sampton’s finger trembled as he pointed and then said to Father Sampton, "Don’t think you’ve kept everything so well hidden, thinking you’ve covered up everything, that your mom and I know nothing!"

Granny Sampton, with tearful eyes, gently shook her head, "Your dad and I know everything, but we always thought it was not easy for you to maintain the whole family, it was unavoidable, thinking that to keep the family harmonious, we could only wrong Jane a bit, but Jane is not there for you to bully at will."

"You as a father, where do you get the face to speak to Jane about kindness?" Grandpa Sampton yelled exhaustively, "In the past, you wanted to swap Jane Sampson for your biological daughter Julie Sampton to marry James Black, but Old Master Black disapproved and rejected the marriage proposal directly, insisting specifically on Jane Sampson entering the Black family as James Black’s wife. What did you say to Old Master Black? What did you ask from Old Master Black using Jane and James’s marriage as leverage?"

Grandpa Sampton continued to berate, "You think your mom and I don’t know anything, thinking after Jane Sampson married James Black, everything the Black family provided you was out of respect for Jane Sampson on Old Master Black’s part. In fact, both your mom and I know it’s all you demanded from Old Master Black using Jane’s marriage as leverage!"

This was also why Grandpa Sampton and Granny Sampton had mostly stayed in the countryside in recent years and seldom visited the Black family.

Because they were too ashamed to meet this old friend.

"Speaking of kindness, once Jane Sampson married James Black, didn’t that kindness already repay you? Without Jane marrying James, would your company, your house, still exist now?" Granny Sampton continued to scold Father Sampton with immense disappointment, "Do you deserve Jane calling you dad? Touch your conscience, do you deserve that title at all?"
