A Moment in Destiny

166 Abuse

Sherry thought maybe Susan really didn’t love Leon anymore. What had done was done and it was time to move on. Maybe it would be great if Susan could be with her father.

"Sherry, you’re back!" Cohen was very happy to see his daughter.

When Susan saw Sherry, she immediately came over, took her hand and asked with concerns, "Sherry, are you OK?"

Sherry knew that she was worried about yesterday’s thing. She felt warm in her heart and nodded, "Yeah, I’m OK!"

Cohen was also very concerned about Sherry. After taking a look at William, he went to Sherry and said, "I will get even with her for what happened yesterday. No one can bully my daughter! Sherry, what do you want to do with Ashley?"

"Haven’t you let her go yet?" Sherry was a little stunned.

"Your father said it was up to you," Susan said.

"Mr. Sutton, let Ashley go. I don’t want to have anything to do with their family. Don’t meet them in the future, OK?"

Cohen didn’t expect that Sherry would say these words, "Do you forgive her so easily?"

Sherry knew who he was talking about, "We are just strangers!" Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Ashley was half starved when she was released. She hadn’t eaten all night.

Payne’s servants searched all night and didn’t find Ashley. But at noon the next day, they found Ashley who just got off the car at their gate, "Ah, Miss Jones, you’re finally back. Are you fine?"

"Ouch! I’m starving. They didn’t give me anything to eat. Where are daddy and Sierra?" Ashley was almost ready to cry. She was really hungry now. But as soon as Ashley asked about her father and Sierra, the servants immediately became silent.

As soon as Ashley entered the hall, she heard her father’s shouts, "Bitch, I’ll kill you, kill you..."

"What? Is dad beating Sierra again?" Ashley’s face turned pale in an instant.

"Miss Jones, you can’t go in!" The housekeeper muttered.

"No, dad will kill Sierra. Why do you leave them alone?" Ashley suddenly thought of something and said in fright, "Does dad beat Sierra every time I’m away, right?"

Ashley hadn’t seen her father beat Sierra for a long time. Did her father beat her Sierra every time she was not at home? That was why Sierra didn’t like her going out. It explained the matter!

She didn’t have time to think about it and went upstairs quickly.

The door was closed, and there were Sierra’s cries for mercy, Payne’s shouts, heavy gasps and slaps. Ashley blushed and she knew what they were doing inside, but she also knew it was a kind of abuse. She knew her father had special sexual hobbies, and Sierra was tortured badly by her father every time

Thinking of this, Ashley became more anxious. She quickly patted on the door, "Dad, Sierra, I’m back, I’m back, open the door!"

Suddenly there was no sound in the room. A few seconds later, Payne shouted excitedly, "Ashley, is that you? Are you really back?"

"Dad, it’s me! Open the door!" Ashley yelled.

After a while, the door was opened. Payne came out in his suit, but there were still beads of sweat in his hair. And his expression became mild.

As soon as she saw Ashley, Payne hugged her and examined her carefully. He was relieved to make sure that she had not been beaten, but he said fiercely, "I will get even with him!"

"Ashley!" Sierra also came out, her face was pale but with a little red. She looked haggard, and her clothes were a bit messy. "You’re back, you’re back!"

Then, Sierra’s eyes turned red, "You’re back at last!"

"Sierra…" Ashley came over and hugged her, "I’m back!"

As soon as Ashley hugged her, Sierra gasped suddenly.

Ashley seemed to be aware of something, so she immediately let go of Sierra. She turned to Payne and said seriously, "Dad, I don’t want you to beat Sierra again. If you don’t change for the better, I really won’t forgive you anymore!"

"No, Ashley, your father didn’t beat me! He really didn’t beat me!" Sierra said gingerly. She was afraid, but pretended not to be afraid. But the more she did, the more Ashley understood.

Ashley pulled open one sleeve of Sierra’s clothes, pointed to the bruises on her arm and said, "Dad, what’s this?"

Payne’s expression was terrible. He was silent, but he gave Sierra a cold look.

"Ashley, no, it’s not like this. Your father didn’t beat me. I accidentally hurt myself!" Sierra explained quickly.

"Sierra, you don’t have to cover up for Dad! I know all about it." Ashley shook her head and her eyes suddenly turned red, "Dad, does Sierra have a daughter? Are you against Sierra’s daughter coming into our family?"

Payne and Sierra were stunned. Payne yelled, "Ashley, did that old man tell you that?"

"Dad, does Sierra have a daughter?"

"No, no!" Sierra shook her head in a panic, "I have no other child. Ashley, I have only one daughter and that is you!"

"Sierra, don’t lie to me. I know your daughter’s name is Sherry. The man who sent me back just now told me that if you hurt his daughter again, he will ruin our family!"

All of a sudden, Payne and Sierra became stunned.

"Dad, why Sherry is Sierra’s daughter? Why don’t you let her live with Sierra in our house? I don’t have brothers or sisters. Do you know how happy I am to have such a sister? But why don’t you let her come here?" Ashley yelled, feeling sad, "Do you know how lonely I am? Do you know how much I want to have brothers and sisters?"

…

Ashley’s words shocked Payne, and he began to coax Ashley, "Ashley, since you want to have brothers and sisters, I will to the orphanage to adopt a child. But Sherry can’t come to our family!"

"Why?"

"She is Sierra’s daughter. She is this bitch’s daughter. I hate her child." Payne sneered.

Sierra smiled bitterly and staggered, "Ashley, it’s OK. I’m happy to see you come back. I will ask someone to cook for you. Don’t bother your father any more. He worried about you all night!"

Sierra grabbed Ashley’s hand and went downstairs.

"Sierra… Why?" Ashley went downstairs and asked in a low voice, "Is it because dad likes beating you that you don’t want to see your daughter?"

Sierra shook her head, "No, Ashley, I don’t like her. I’m not a qualified mother and I don’t have to pretend to be good anymore! I am the most vicious mother in the world, and I am willing to be the most vicious mother."

"No! In my eyes, you’ve always been a good mother. Sierra, you’ve always been good to me! I don’t believe you don’t like your own daughter!" Ashley shook her head.

"Ashley, stop! Are you hungry?"

"Sierra, you have to tell me why."

"I really don’t like her. I’m not good to you and it’s you who are always good to me. Ashley, don’t you know I’m always using you? In fact, you are my talisman. I am safe when you are here. If you are not here, I will be beaten by your father. I’ve been using you all these years!"

"Sierra, I don’t believe it!" Ashley shook her head in disbelief.

Sierra looked at Ashley, "I’m a very selfish person. I just wish I could live well and I even don’t care about my own son. Do you know my son is dead? In fact, I am not sad at all, but I think it is a relief! I am a selfish mother and I’ve been using you. I am greedy for the rich life, and I am greedy for the luxury and wealth. Although I’m often beaten by your father in private, I’m pretty on the surface!"

"No, Sierra, don’t belittle yourself! In my heart, you have always been a good mother. You are very kind to me. When I was ill, you took good care of me. You are a good mother! Although I have never called you mom, but in my heart, you are already my mother! I don’t allow you to belittle yourself like this!"

Sierra was heartbroken and shook her head, "Silly girl, I did those things just because I wanted to use you. I don’t even like my own children, and how can I treat you sincerely? Go to have a meal and have a good rest. Don’t think too much!"

"Sierra!" Because Sierra was often abused by her father over the years, Ashley felt sorry for Sierra and respected her all the time. Sierra really doted on Ashley, so she didn’t believe that Sierra was a selfish and heartless person. It was impossible for a selfish person to belittle herself in that way.

"If you think I’m really nice to you, listen to me. You can’t marry Leon, because he doesn’t love you! He loves another woman!"

"No! I love Leon. I just want to marry Leon!"

At this time, they heard someone at the door shouting, "Madam and Miss, Mr. Hickman is here!"

"Ah! It’s Leon!" Ashley immediately became excited, "I want to meet Leon!"

"Ashley!" Sierra yelled.

"Don’t meet him!" Payne shouted on the second floor.

"No! I’m going to meet him!" Ashley had already run away.

Payne, helpless, went to the stairs and stared at Sierra who was stood still, "I’ll deal with you in the evening!"

Sierra bowed her head and said nothing.

In the study of the Sutton family,

"Hey, there are not many days left. Two days later, if my daughter doesn’t call me dad, you don’t need to turn up again!" Cohen said unhappily.

"Dad, I was just about to talk to you about it. I’m going to marry Sherry next week. If Sherry calls you dad in two days, do you agree to let her marry me in a week?" William showed a confident smile.

"Let her marry you?" Cohen frowned.

"Dad, don’t be so stubborn. Sherry is the mother of my child, and we are in a good relationship. We should get married. Why don’t you fulfill my wish?" William laughed.

"Good! The day after tomorrow is Christmas. If you can’t let my daughter call me dad on Christmas day, there is no need for you to marry her!" Cohen threatened William.

"Well, that’s OK. Wait for my good news!" William was very confident, "See you the day after tomorrow, Dad!"

William and Sherry went to school to pick up Dan.

When school was over, William and Sherry stood at the school gate and immediately attracted the attention of many parents and students.

"Why hasn’t Dan come out yet?" William was in a bit of a hurry.

"Well, Dan likes to be the last to come out. He doesn’t like the feeling of crowding!" Sherry explained, "What are you looking for with Dan?"

"I have something to tell him!" He squeezed out some words.

"What’s the matter?"

"It is a thing between men!"

"He is still a child!" Sherry said.

"No! He is a man! In my eyes, all the males are my rivals in love, and I can’t risk letting any man hold you! Even my son is no exception!" William said, very domineering.

Sherry blushed, "My god! You are shameless!"

"Here he is!" William suddenly saw the little boy in the distance, carrying a big schoolbag, surrounded by a group of little girls, "My God! Sherry, look at him!"
