SWNOVELS Chapter 67
Chapter 67
“No, Mom. Just say it here!” Dakota bit her lip. She wasn't usually this stubborn.
“Dakota, you..." Jane was at a loss for words. She had never seen Dakota being
this stubborn before.
Florence furrowed her brows and began to scold Dakota for not being sensible.
“Dakota, what's going on with you today? Are you really going against your Mom
for a man? And a liar at that!”
“Aunt Florence, do you think I would be doing this if you hadn't insisted on
bringing Willie over?” Faced with Florence's remarks, the usually gentle Dakota
also felt her anger boiling.
“How could you say that, Dakota? Do you think I'm trying to hurt you? I'm doing
all this for your own good!” Florence crossed her arms. “Look at the house your
family lives in now. It's a run—down hunt! Me and Charles are always afraid of
running into our friends whenever we come over. Don’t you think you should
share some of your parents’ burden?”
Although the words were directed at Dakota, they still affected Leonard. He
flushed slightly and clenched his fists. As the head of the family, he blamed
himself for the suffering of his wife and daughter.
Jane's expression shifted. However, she knew Florence was a headstrong
woman and decided to bite back her words. She didn’t want to fight with Charlie
and Florence now. Especially when there were
still outsiders around.
“That's enough!” However, just because Leonard and Jane could endure it, it
didn’t mean Dakota
could. She had long been fed up with Charlie and Florence.
She finally reached her limit from Florence’s words. “Aunt Florence, our family
lives like this because my dad, in order to save the company, sold everything that
could be sold. Including the villa!”
“In the past two months, if my dad hadn't desperately injected funds into the
company, Jennings Company would have gone bankrupt long ago! Have any of
you ever helped or contributed a penny? Does the company belong to my dad
alone?”
Once upon a time, Dakota also lived in a luxurious villa complete with a garden, a
swimming pool, and everything else anyone could ever ask for in a home.
However, Leonard had sold off the villa to pay the debt the company owed. But
what did they get in response? It was the various criticisms from their relatives!
Dakota felt sorry for her dad!
“You're wrong, Dakota. Charlie and I have been coming up with some plans too!”
Florence immediately grew unhappy.
“Really now?” Dakota laughed bitterly. “And what's your plan? To set me up with
rich men?”
“Do you think it's easy to find a rich bachelor? Do you know the amount of effort
Charlie and I put into finding a rich man for you?” Florence hissed.

“You!” Dakota was on the verge of tears.
Her family went through so much suffering to save the company. They had to go
around begging people, and her father’s hair had even begun to turn white from
stress. Yet, her relatives were still being ungrateful!

gaze.
