Chapter 568: A Substitute (part one)

"Dad, what are you doing? Can't we just sit down and sort it out?" Brian stepped forward and pushed Leo and Yakira apart. After all, Brian was young and vigorous. He saved Yakira from Leo's grip easily.

"Ahem! Ahem!" Yakira began to cough violently after holding her breath for a long time. She leaned against Brian, feeling limp. She trembled with fear as she thought she would be killed by Leo today.

"Brian, get out of my way! Otherwise, I won't spare you. Do you know how evil this bitch is? She is utterly devoid of conscience. I must settle accounts with her today." Leo shouted as he tried to push Brian away, in an attempt to take Yakira by the throat again. He was blinded with rage. What he only desired now was to have Yakira dead.

"I won't move. If you want to kill mom, you will have to kill me first." Brian closed his eyes in despair. Had he known that so many bad things would happen, he wouldn't have come back from abroad. He wouldn't have been bothered like this, and he wouldn't have been sandwiched between his father and mother now.

"Dad, how can you do this to mom? You don't even care about what happened to us last night? You only want to hit mom. What's wrong with you?" Mary questioned as she stamped her foot angrily. She didn't notice that Yakira was shooting her a warning glance.

"Bah! No matter what happened to this bitch, she deserves it. If there is divine justice, why is she still alive? I don't want to see her face ever again." Leo taunted. If Brian didn't stand between Yakira and him, he would wring her neck in an instant.

Dad, why did you come back like this? You cared about me the most in the past. Why are you acting so strange now? Daisy made us stay in the police station for a whole night. Why don't you hold her accountable?"

Mary's complaint not only annoyed Leo again, but infuriated Brian too. However, she didn't even notice that and complained without stopping. Yakira felt angry and she wondered why she had such a silly daughter. Why did Mary mention what happened last night? Didn't she know that Leo and Brian cared about Daisy very much?

"Why did you provoke her again? What did you do to her?" Leo turned to Mary and questioned her. He used to dote on her, but that was because he didn't know the truth. Now he knew that Daisy was his daughter. He would not allow Mary to hurt Daisy again.

We didn't provoke her. We just happened to meet Edward at Sexy World, and drank together. We didn't expect that bitch to be such a mean person. She threw us into the police station just because of that." On seeing Leo's angry face, Mary realized that what she said was inappropriate. She immediately explained to redeem the situation.

"Mary, I remember I have warned you before as well. I said, don't provoke Daisy and don't try to seduce Edward. Why don't you just listen to me? I won't take your side this time." Brian stated in a serious tone. He cared about Daisy so much that he wouldn't spare anyone who dared to harm her.

"I didn't provoke her. It was she who started the fight. You don't even know the whole story. Can't you just be fair and hear out what happened first? Why do you always blame me instead of her? I'm also your sister, Brian. Why do you always take her side? She is not the only one who gets hurt! I get hurt too!"

Mary yelled hysterically as tears streamed down her cheeks. She felt she had no place in this family anymore. What she feared the most now was that Leo treated her like a stranger. She felt wronged. Why did everything change? Why did everyone treat that bitch as a treasure and treat her as a nobody? Did she do anything wrong? No! The only thing she did wrong was that she was born in the wrong family. Why did the man she loved so deeply belong to Daisy? It was not her fault to have fallen in love with him.

"Bah! Only if you behaved yourself, I would treat you as my sister. However, you are so vicious that I'm not able to consider you as part of our family against my conscience. You should be the one held responsible for whatever happened. It's not anyone else's fault."

Brian sneered. If Mary had never treated Daisy with such cruelty, he wouldn't have treated her like this. If Mary had never tried to snatch everything from Daisy, he would have treated her as his sister. However, what Mary did was way out of line and Brian couldn't force himself to consider her as his family now. He was not a sage and he couldn't forgive anyone who dared to harm his family. He did a good job at blocking paiful, unnecessary things from his mind and life.

Hahaha! Brian stop making excuses and stop insulting me. Im not that kind of evil person like you think of me. Actually we both know that you dislike me because I came from a humble family. In your eyes, your sister should come from a rich and powerful family just like Daisy. I know I was from a poor family, and you look down on me. That's why you never treat me as your sister.
