A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 222 Who Would Want to Be Related to Her

"Emily, you keep saying that we should pay attention to what we are saying, then what about you? You call me Mr. Tao and your mother Mrs. Tao. Do you think that is appropriate behavior?" asked Abbott.

"I don't think there is anything wrong with what I said. As for what you said, Mr. Tao, telling me that my parents don't deserve to be my parents is completely inappropriate. They may not be the people who gave birth to me, but they are the ones who raised me, provided me with a roof over my head; kept me fed and clothed; paid for my education. Although you are my biological parents, I don't know anything about you, and vice versa. I have never felt love or care from either of you," answered Emily.

As far as qualifications were concerned, Mr. and Mrs. Tao, who did not meet the necessary qualifications, were not fit to call themselves Emily's parents!

Stunned, these words had rendered Mr. and Mrs. Tao speechless. After a brief pause, Bess added, "We never had the chance, but we assure you that, from now on, we will never let you feel an ounce of neglect..."

"There is no need for that. You have Tina, and my parents have me as their daughter, even though they don't love me as much," she said. With relief in her eyes, Emily turned to Mr. and Mrs. Bai, and smiled with satisfaction. "I will not put the blame on you. You have been kind to me, and to me, you will always be my biological parents, regardless of what any test says. I will care for you when you are old and I will be there to carry out my duties as a daughter even after you have passed," said Emily.

Something in what Emily had said, forced the tears out of Debby's eyes, as they turned red with guilt and remorse. Mr. Bai felt so regretful that he lowered his head, almost burying it on the table, to hide the expression on his face from the rest of the world.

The Bai couples were speechless, choked up by emotions and feelings they didn't know they had.

"Dad, Mom, let's go home," said Emily

"Emily..." When Emily stood up to leave, Bess wanted to dissuade her by saying something, but she could not find the right words. All she could do was helplessly watch Emily turn around to leave...

"Why are you leaving so soon? As one of the persons involved, I've just arrived at the scene." The shrill, bitter voice of a woman caught everyone's attention in the room.

Fashionably late, Tina stepped in with her high-heeled shoes. Her steps were still a little unstable, but she managed to keep her balance despite the extreme pain. In an imposing manner, she said, "Emily, it has been a really long time since we've seen each other."

"It's been a long time, but I'd like to keep it that way," said Emily. Emily frowned, like she had tasted something bitter, as she looked at Tina standing in front of her.

With an air of gloom in the eyes, Tina said, "That makes the two of us."

"Tina, what are you doing here?" asked Bess. Concerned for Tina's physical and mental fitness, Bess was worried that she would act out and do something regrettable.

Master Tao frowned. He had a feeling that Tina was there to make trouble again!

Emily didn't want to converse with Tina any more. She simply said, with a hint of disapproval in her voice, "Get out of the way."

"Gee, there's no need for you to be so feisty," replied Tina, with a tongue-in-cheek smile. It was as if she carried an air of arrogance with her at all times. "What a pity! You think you can fly onto a branch and become a phoenix, but as you look in the mirror, you find that you are still just an ugly sparrow!" she said to Emily.

"All right then, Miss 'Phoenix', I am going to leave now. Would you please get your noble feet out of the way, lest your eyes be stained by an ugly sparrow like me," Emily answered. Emily realized that there

was no point in arguing with a mentally disturbed person like Tina. She went along with her words, to show her reluctance to speak with Tina.

However, this angered Tina even more!

How could Emily mock her like that? A low-life! Even if she changed her identity, Emily could not wash away the humble mud that came out of her bones!

Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Bai couldn't help secretly peeking at Tina with curiosity.

Tina, however, caught their secretive glance, and yelled at them rudely, with a look of pure disgust on her face, "Don't look at me with your disgusting eyes!"

As if shocked by an electric taser, Mr. and Mrs. Bai looked away immediately, afraid to set their sights on Tina again.

Their meek demeanor and submissiveness disgusted Tina even more. How could her parents be so weak and ordinary! Their every move and action exhibited inferiority and insignificance. It was painful to watch! Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Disgusting?" defended Emily, with icy cold eyes. She simply couldn't bear to see Tina insulting Mr. and Mrs. Bai like this. "They are your biological parents. If you think they are disgusting, then you are disgusting too!" she protested.

"God dammed low-life bitch! You must be feeling delighted, right?" Tina taunted. Tina was so angry that her face grimaced at Emily. Tina raised her hand to slap Emily, but the bodyguard standing behind Emily caught her by the wrist.

Appalled, Mrs. Tao got up and grabbed Tina. "Tina, what are you doing? Don't be so impulsive... If you have anything to say, we can talk. We are a family..." she said.

"Who would want to be related to her!" Tina and Emily said in chorus!

Hell-bent, they looked at each other, disapprovingly. The contact of their eyesight almost burst into sparks!

"Get out of the way." Emily pushed Tina aside, and left with Mr. and Mrs. Bai.

"Bitch!" The only profanity Tina could use was this. Obviously, this was not enough for her to vent her anger.

Mrs. Tao had never expected her daughter to get into such a mental state. With a worried expression, she asked, "Tina, what on earth had happened to you..."

Tina shook off Mrs. Tao's restraining hand, but Mrs. Tao actually came forward and embraced her. Tina got so irritated, she subconsciously reacted and pushed Mrs. Tao away.

Mrs. Tao lost her balance and fell straight to the ground!

However, without even looking back to notice the damage she had caused, Tina chased after Emily!

"Bess! Are you all right? " With a nervous look on his face, Abbott hurried to help his wife to her feet. He was greatly dismayed by Tina's behavior. "How could Tina push you away like that!" he said.

Master Tao was watching everything from the sidelines. He cursed angrily, "Such a wicked girl! Look at the ungrateful and vicious monster you have cultivated!"

...

Emily, on the other hand, did not know that Tina was following her. She asked the bodyguard to escort Mr. and Mrs. Bai out and turned to the bathroom herself.

Emily gently washed her face, to wash off the distasteful sight of Tina. Five minutes later, when she was about to open the door to leave, she found that the lock was broken from the outside.

A cold and venomous voice came from outside the door, "Emily, you bitch! Go to the hell!"

Emily recognized Tina's shrill voice at once. She banged the door hard, with anger in her voice, and shouted, "Tina, how old are you to play this trick? You are so childish! Open the door quickly!"

Did Tina think it would be useful to lock her up here? They weren't kids playing house!

"You will soon know what trick I am playing," said Tina, tapping on the door with her fingers, as she gave a cold laugh and walked away rhythmically on her high heels.

"Hello! Hello, hello, hello! Tina!" Emily kept yelling Tina's name, but Tina simply ignored her. Tina's footsteps were getting farther and farther away, and soon she was gone.

Emily pulled out her phone from the pocket, and tried to make a call for help. Unfortunately, there was no signal in the bathroom. Helpless, she had to resort to banging on the door fervently, hoping that someone would hear her.

Not knowing how long it had passed, her hands had swollen from the constant banging on the door, but no one came by.

Strangely enough, Emily could clearly hear noises coming from the outside, indicating that she wasn't alone there. She persisted and carried on making noise, trying to catch someone's attention, but no one responded.

Then what the devil was this? And what on earth did Tina want to do?
