Chapter 1006
Fla shut her eyes. She didn’t want to know what happened anymore.
But Barbara had no one to turn to and told her everything in detail.
“When they were fighting, someone pulled down Britney’s hat and mask. My dad immediately said that she’s a
hideous monster, that she’s going against basic morality, and said a lot of other hurtful things.
“He may be only treating Britney so callously because he doesn’t know the truth, it’s especially cruel toward her.
She had gone through so much… Would she not feel upset when her own father was the one that said it? Not to
mention that she was already emotionally scarred beforehand…”
Fia took a deep breath. “Have you ever thought about telling your parents the whole truth?”
“I almost did it today, but Britney stopped me. She must be really upset… That her own father couldn’t recognize
her and said so many hurtful things to her.”
Barbara blamed herself for all of what happened as she lowered her head.
“I talked with her a few times already, telling her that we should tell our parents that she’s the real Britney. But
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe’s worried that they wouldn’t accept her in her current state, that they wouldn’t acknowledge it…”
Fia was at a loss. Could any parent be so cruel toward their own flesh and blood?
Sophia immediately said, “She’s their daughter! How do you know that they wouldn’t accept her? Are you two
overthinking things?”
“No!” Barbara shook her head with disdain in her eyes. “You don’t know the kind of
my
person
dad is. In his eyes, only profit matters! All those years ago, he was like a brother to Uncle. Hall. But just because he
could profit from it, he didn’t care about their relationship at all! With how Britney looks like right now and she
hasn’t recovered fully, I…
“If they couldn’t accept how Britney looked like right now, she’ll simply suffer even more!”
Fia opened her eyes and said in a daze, “So, you’re looking for a surgeon to restore her appearance?”
“That’s right!” Barbara said. “But I’ve visited many surgeons and none of them has the confidence to return her to
her original look.”
Fia was silent for a moment before saying, “Find Peter.”
Barbara almost choked. “Are you joking? He’s the one that made Britney like this!”
Fia gulped and said, “Has your sister told you everything that happened to her?”
“What do you mean?” Barbara asked, confused.
“If I’m right, Peter wasn’t the one behind her getting splashed by acid,” Fia said with a sigh. However, this was all
because of how heartless he was in the first place. That was the reason why she went through all of it.”
Barbara frowned. It was true that she didn’t know everything that had happened to Britney…
She wasn’t willing to say much about it either.
Fia then continued, “Now that Peter and Esme’s relationship is at a standstill, you can probably test him at this
point.”
“I’ll ask Britney what she thinks about it,” Barbara said without much confidence.
Fia paused and said, “If you trust me, let me talk to her one-on-one.”
Barbara nodded. “Alright. I’ll ask Britney about it.”
“Sure.” Fia stood up and wanted to walk Barbara to the door.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, Barbara quickly said, “It’s fine. I can leave on my own. Take care of yourself.”
Fia didn’t force the issue and let Sophia send Barbara away.
Barbara had only just left when Fia called Sally.
Sally had just finished her night shift and said with a yawn, “I’ll go to your house then?”
“Sure. Give me a call when you’re here.”
Sally wasn’t feeling that spirited, so she was going to grab a taxi instead.
However, a familiar car stopped in front of her unexpectedly.
Just as she was wondering who it might be, the car window rolled down and she saw who the driver was.
“Kent Gilbert,” she said with a smile.
Kent whistled at him and said, “Where to? Want a free ride?”
“Aren’t you here to see the doctor?” Sally asked.
Kent shook his head. “I’m not here to see a doctor, but to pay someone a visit.”
“I won’t take up your time then,” Sally said.
“You’re not. I’ve already visited him and now I’m not sure what I want to do next.” Kent smiled brightly. “Where are
you heading, Sally? Why don’t you take me along?”
