Madam Banners crawled over to Roxie's feet as she cried bitterly and begged, "Roxie, your father is old and needs my care. I'm old as well and not in good health, so I need him too. Just let us rely on each other for the remainder of our lives."

Roxie looked at her as if she was a joke. "Madam Banners, do you remember that your current situation is exactly the same as the situation my biological mother was in ten years ago?" Madam Banners' face instantly turned pale.

Roxie said angrily, "Do you know how desperate my mother was back then? She was seriously ill and bedridden, yet you couldn't care less about her life or death. You took away the only man she could rely on. Now, you're asking me to take pity on you? Do you think I should show you mercy?"

Madam Banners fell to the floor.

She finally understood what Roxie's method of revenge was. Roxie wanted to distort everything. She was reversing the roles so that she and Bebe could go through what Roxie and her mother went through when Charles abandoned them. Now, Roxie was the one at the top while she and Bebe had become the helpless and pitiful worms who were being abandoned.

Roxie said complacently, "Madam Banners, I deliberately made the two of you go bankrupt so that you could experience my mother's pain. I want you to live in guilt forever. I'll let you repent for your actions until the day you die."

Madam Banners muttered, "I regret it now. I truly do. I was too young back then, Roxie. I fell for someone and wanted to take him all for myself. I never thought that it would bring you so much pain. I'm sorry." Roxie said, "If you're truly sorry, then quickly divorce my father. Return my father to my mother."

At the moment, Madam Banners felt like a fallen leaf swaying in the wind and rain. She was utterly helpless. How could she be willing to let Charles go?

"No. I can't leave your dad. I'm old now and don't have the energy to start another relationship."

Roxie looked at Charles and asked, "Do you think so too, Dad?"

Charles glanced at Madam Banners and felt some pity for her. However, the resentment of being the son-in-law who married into his wife's family for so many years had wiped out all of his love.

Hence, he said decisively, "Don't

worry, Roxie 'll send for someone to look for your mother and bring her back. We'll live together as a family

from now on. But I beg you amily

I please

stop making things difficult for Bebe and her mother."

Roxie did not speak. She merely glanced at him meaningfully, then left in her wheelchair.

That was when she heard the voices

of Madam Banners and Charles arguing from behind her. "Darling, are you really going to look for that faded ld woman? I forbid you to

look for her. You're Bebe's father and my husband. You're my husband alone!"

Charles said with dissatisfaction, with "Can't you see the situation? Why are you still fighting for a false reputation? I'm telling you, you have to quickly let Roxie vent her anger. Otherwise, our lives will continue to be difficult."

"We've sincerely apologized to her, but she's being too demanding. She wants to drive a wedge between us. We can't just follow everything according to her wishes, right?"

"If we don't, then our lives will only get more and more difficult from now on. Do you want to look on as our family's businesses get destroyed?"

Bebe covered her ears and shouted uncontrollably," Stop arguing! Stop arguing! Please stop arguing!"

"Bebe." Madam Banners hugged her and wept bitterly.

When Roxie was listening to them argue, a cold sneer appeared in her eyes.

She used to be very familiar with such a scene because this was her childhood.
