Chapter 549: 192: She is the Taro Ball Boss! (Fifth Update)
In this household, it was common for Aunt Zhang to beat Olivia Cooper.
Facing William’s questioning, Aunt Zhang said nothing and stood up to go to the kitchen to cook.
Looking at her back, William cursed the damn woman and added, “You’ll kill her one day from all this beating!”
But he just said that and left it at that.
He didn’t bother with Olivia, who was lying on the ground.
He sat on a stool and continued drinking.
Feeling that Olivia lying on the floor was an eyesore, he kicked her again, “Go lie down in the room!”
Upon hearing this, Olivia used all her strength to stand up from the ground, leaning against the wall as she walked towards the room.
Every step she took was filled with extreme pain.
Her head was also dizzy.
She just wanted to sleep right away.
Aunt Zhang came to the kitchen.
She found that the food was already cooked.
There was also a small cake in the cabinet.
Written on the cake were a few words–
Happy birthday, mom.
In this house, no one but Olivia would remember her birthday.
Aunt Zhang looked at the cake, and her eyes turned red in an instant.
She picked up the cake and threw it hard on the floor.
Smack!
The cake was instantly smashed.
Maybe she still didn’t feel relieved, Aunt Zhang lifted her foot and stomped on the cake.
These words ‘happy birthday, mom,’ should have been said by Sylvia Thompson.
What was Olivia?
What right did she have to be her daughter?
Ten minutes later, Aunt Zhang brought the food to the living room.
William put the wine bottle on the table, took a bite and hummed a tune in satisfaction.
After eating and drinking his fill, William stretched out his hand to Aunt Zhang, “This month’s living expenses.”
Aunt Zhang said nothing and went back to the room to get the money.
As soon as she got her purse, William snatched it away.
“You damn bitch, what are you counting! You want to keep your private stash? Isn’t your money all mine!”
Aunt Zhang couldn’t bear it anymore, “William, are you trying to kill me?!”
All these years, she has been working tirelessly.
She slept later than a dog and woke up earlier than a chicken, only leaving a little bit of her wages to make up for the family’s expenses, and the rest of the money was taken by William for eating, drinking, and gambling!
But even so.
William was still unsatisfied.
Whenever he was unhappy, he would beat and kick her.
“Yes! I want to kill you!” William stared at Aunt Zhang, “You killed my daughter! You cut off the Lockwood family’s continuation. I want you to pay for it!”
That look in his eyes frightened Aunt Zhang.
It was a panic that penetrated from her bones.
Instantly piercing through her limbs.
William held deep grudges against Aunt Zhang, not only did she not give birth to a son, but her only biological daughter died prematurely!
She blamed herself for being too young and choosing a husband like William.
One wrong step led to more mistakes.
William’s viciousness came from his bones. Back then, when Aunt Zhang was five months pregnant, he still punched and kicked her.
This was also the main reason for Aunt Zhang’s decision to let her daughter have a better life by living with someone else.
Because she knew.
With such a father, there would never be any way out for her daughter.
As it turns out, she was right.
Sylvia Thompson, who grew up in the Thompson Clan, was smart and talented since childhood, winning countless awards.
There was only one thing she did wrong.
Why didn’t she just kill that little wild seed back then?
William put the money in his pocket, then went to Olivia’s room and took out a banknote from his pocket and threw it on her, “Go buy some food for yourself! Your mom’s hitting you just to discipline you for your own good.”
A child left uneducated will be a disgrace.
After saying that, William turned and left.
Lying in bed, Olivia watched her father’s back as tears welled up in her eyes.
Tears flowed out of her eyes.
They flowed across her cheeks, disappearing into her hair.
Before long, a figure came from the living room, “I’m going out for a bit. Remember to clean up the dishes on the table.”
This was Olivia’s daily task.
Doing laundry, cooking, washing dishes, and cleaning.
“Ok…” After a long while, Olivia choked out a word.
Aunt Zhang left the house and went to a family in the village.
“Mrs. Flack, are you home?”
Mrs. Flack came out of the house, seeing Aunt Zhang, she first sighed and then said, “Did your husband start hitting again?”
People in the village knew about William’s character.
“It’s alright,” Aunt Zhang smiled and continued, “Mrs. Flack, you mentioned the other day that you can take some part-time work here to earn some living expenses. So I came to have a look.”
