That night, Erine called her father. Before she could speak, she was scolded by him.

She was also infuriated. She said disdainfully, "You want me to marry into the Laneigh family. Aren't you afraid that I will get them not to help you once I'm married to Maverick? If you want to use me as your chess piece, you'd better treat me well, otherwise, it will be counterproductive. Also, I'm calling to tell you that we will meet tomorrow afternoon at the shopping mall. Some things should be made clear. If you don't appear, you'll have to bear the consequences." She hung up the phone after saying these things.

She then put the phone on the bed and cried softly.

What on earth did she do wrong to have such a family?

Christopher, who was standing at the door, witnessed it all. He walked over and held her by the shoulders, not saying a word.

Erine looked at him with red eyes. He wiped her tears and reached out to hold her in his arms.

It was so she could cry out loud.

The walls in her heart collapsed once again. She returned his embrace and burst into tears. It seemed that the grievances that had accumulated over the years were released.

Those standing in the corridor also heard Erine's crying. Samuel and Vanessa looked at each other and returned to their room, leaving them alone.

The next morning, Erine got up and applied some makeup to look more presentable. Her eyes were swollen from all the crying the night before.

She had just changed her clothes when she received Everleigh's call.

"Erine."

"Everleigh, what's with the call at such an early hour?" Erine said, pretending to be happy, as if she was not the person who had cried all night long.

When Everleigh listened to her words, she knew that she was acting.

Erine had always been like this, always acting strong.

"I just wanted to ask you about the time of the meeting today. I'm a little worried." Everleigh was really concerned. She had seen too many shameless people. It was hard to say whether Erine's parents would put obstacles in the way. What if they didn't bother about anything else?

Erine chuckled. "It'll be fine. Christopher's father is coming with us. What's there for me to worry

about?"

"That's true, but your father..."

"Everleigh, there are some things that I can't change. He is my father." Erine knew what she wanted to say. If she could, she would rather cut off their relationship. She didn't want to see such a father in her life Everleigh pondered for a moment, thought for a moment before saying, "It's good that you're prepared. I'll hang up then."

"Everleigh, thank you." Erine thanked her from the bottom of her heart. She was really grateful to her.

If it wasn't for her, she wouldn't have gone to see her father that day.

"You're welcome," Everleigh replied and hung up.

When Erine went downstairs, Samuel and Christopher were both ready. They were dressed formally as they could be regarded as in-laws to her family.

The three of them came to the restaurant in the mall. When Hudson came and saw Samuel, he was slightly startled, and suddenly became enraged. He began to blame his daughter, "Erine, you bloody girl. Now, you have found a man of such an old age. You are shameless. The Harrison family's reputation is ruined by you."

Erine listened to his words and smiled bitterly. This was her father, blaming her without knowing right from wrong.

However, Samuel could not listen to more of that. He said unhappily, "You are also an owner of a company. How dare you speak to me like this? You're slandering me without knowing who I am. Are you even qualified as a father?"

Erine raised her head and looked at him. "Uncle Samuel, I am just an unsightly person to him. I don't know how such a person has the guts to have mistresses. He's a man who doesn't even admit his own child."

Her words were harsh towards Hudson. It could even be seen that she did not regard him as her father at all.

Hearing this, Samuel was also astonished. Although what she said was not pleasant, she was right. Her father had the ability to have mistresses, but he didn't have the ability to raise his own child. It was really shameless.

Hudson turned purple from rage. What did it feel like when his affairs were being brought up by his own daughter?

"That's enough. Take a seat. Let me introduce myself. I am Christopher's father. I believe that you have met my son. As for the fact that you have found a husband for Erine, I think it is necessary for me to come talk to you."

Hudson had indeed met Christopher before, but he didn't bother about him. He thought that Erine was replaceing an excuse not to get married, but now, it didn't seem to be the case at all. "You are a Meyer," Hudson muttered. He looked a bit familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

"Mr. Harrison, I knew her identity from the beginning. By right, you should be guilty about Erine. After all, you were the one who gave her an unpleasant identity. How could you use it as a threat against her?" "Mr. Meyer, this is my family's affair. She is just your son's girlfriend. As long as she is not married, she is not part of your Meyer family. Mr. Meyer, you shouldn't have come here today." Hudson pulled out his chair and sat down, looking at him disdainfully.

He thought that a person who was so full of himself yet always wanted to take care of other people's family affairs was the most annoying kind.

"Mr. Harrison, the reason for me being here is obvious. My family has acknowledged Erine as our daughter-in-law. Even if she's an illegitimate daughter, we won't mind either. The Meyer family will definitely follow the etiquettes." Samuel's deep voice was full of seriousness.

He didn't mean to not follow the rules at all.

When Hudson heard this, he did not take it to heart. Now, the only person who could save them was the Laneigh family.

No matter how rich the Meyer family was, it was impossible for them to lend them a hand.

"So what?"

"So what? Mr. Harrison, are you sure?" Samuel became a little cold when he heard what he said.

"Yes, my daughter's marriage is not up to anyone else to decide. I know what you're here for. Are you thinking that because Erine has an in- law family now, you can get me to give up my plans?" Hudson did not want to continue the conversation with him.

Seeing this, Samuel's face turned cold and he continued, "What would you do to give up your idea?"

"You want me to give up? Fine, my family's short of capital. I need a large sum of money to maintain it. If Erine has the ability to connect with your family, then bring out the money. Otherwise, don't interfere with me," Hudson said righteously, as if his daughter was a product of interests.

If she wanted to live a free life, she must meet his needs.

Samuel and Erine looked at his disgusting face. She couldn't bear it anymore. She said angrily, "When Meredith left, didn't you ask the Baker family for money? Oh right, the Baker family is just an ordinary family, poor. He wouldn't have what you wanted. Thus, you're now trying to get me to satisfy your unreasonable request, right?"
