After Prison I Rushed into Marriage with a Comatose Tycoon-Chapter 56: Bitch

Eliza Sutton was puzzled. "Felt sorry for you? When did I ever feel sorry for you?"

"Just now," Ivan Willow said with righteous confidence. "You told me to get up. You must have felt sorry for me because my knees hurt from kneeling."

"..." Eliza Sutton was speechless. "You’re overthinking it."

Ivan Willow quickly produced a prepared gift. "This is a ruby I won at an auction a while back. I thought it perfectly matched your formidable and commanding presence, Isla, so I rushed to bring it as an apology gift. You absolutely have to accept it."

Chairman Willow glanced at the gift his son had prepared, his expression softening slightly. "He finally did something right for once."

’Looks like this son of mine isn’t a total idiot. There’s hope for him yet.’

Ivan Willow said smugly, "Of course! Yours truly picked it out personally. How could it be wrong?"

Chairman Willow’s anger flared, and he swung a slap his way. "’Yours truly’? Who are you calling ’yours truly’ to? Your old man?"

Ivan Willow ducked, hiding behind Eliza Sutton. "Sis, protect me!"

Eliza Sutton: "...When did I become your ’sis’?"

Ivan Willow immediately replied, "From the moment you accepted my apology, of course. You’re my one and only sister now."

Before Eliza Sutton could speak, Amelia Sutton couldn’t hold back. "Master Willow, does she have something on you? You were beaten so badly, yet you’re still giving gifts, apologizing, and even calling her your sister."

If it weren’t for Ivan Willow’s status, Amelia Sutton wouldn’t have been so polite.

Ivan Willow looked at Amelia Sutton. After a moment, the corners of his lips lifted, but in the next second, the smile on his face turned vicious.

Ivan Willow swung a slap across her face. "Bitch!"

Amelia Sutton had always been pampered and doted on; she had never been slapped before. She was completely stunned as she was knocked to the ground.

"Amelia!" Mae Sheffield rushed over and helped Amelia Sutton up. Seeing the red handprint on her daughter’s face, she was furious. "Master Willow, how could you just hit someone out of the blue!"

Harrison Sutton also frowned. "What Amelia said was indeed inappropriate, but Master Willow, you can’t just resort to violence."

Even Chairman Willow thought his son’s slap was a bit excessive. He knitted his brow and looked over. "Ivan Willow, what is wrong with you?"

"What’s wrong with me? Shouldn’t you be asking Amelia Sutton that?"

"Master Willow, I spoke out of turn and offended you. Please forgive me," Amelia Sutton said quickly.

Ivan Willow saw the plea in Amelia Sutton’s eyes and a sneer flashed in his own. "You want me to shut up? On what grounds? Today, yours truly is going to make it crystal clear why I came looking for my Isla. It’s all because of this Amelia Sutton!"

Amelia Sutton: "Master Willow!"

Ivan Willow ignored her and continued, "One day, I suddenly got a call from Amelia Sutton. She said she wanted to send a beauty my way, and that she was exceptionally gorgeous. I’m a lecher, so of course I agreed when I heard there was a beauty involved. Then yesterday, she told me I just had to go to Nocturne Bar to see the gift she was giving me. So I went.

The first moment I saw my Isla, I was captivated by her beauty. I thought she was my gift, so naturally, I went over to her. And that’s how I ended up offending her."

"She manipulated me into making such a huge mistake. Chairman Sutton, you tell me, didn’t your daughter deserve that slap!"

Ivan Willow’s tone was aggressive, each word carrying a daunting intensity.

The pressure was so great that Harrison Sutton subconsciously nodded. "She did."

"Since you also think she deserved it, shouldn’t you compensate me for my losses?"

"We should..."

"Harrison!" Mae Sheffield grabbed Harrison Sutton’s wrist sharply.

Harrison Sutton snapped back to his senses. When he realized what he had almost said, his face turned extremely ugly.

He shot a glare at Amelia Sutton before forcing a smile. "Master Willow, Amelia and Eliza were just having a little squabble, just joking around. This whole thing was just a misunderstanding, a bit of fun between sisters, right? Eliza, isn’t that right?"

As Harrison Sutton spoke, he repeatedly shot meaningful glances at Eliza Sutton.

How could Eliza Sutton not understand Harrison Sutton’s meaning? It was just...

’Why should I help him?’

Chairman Willow said, "We don’t know how the sisters squabbled before, but Miss Sutton is no longer your daughter now."

"That... My public statement online was just something I said in anger."

Just then, Harrison Sutton’s phone rang. It was his lawyer.

As soon as he answered, the lawyer’s voice came from the other end: "Chairman Sutton, Eliza Sutton has been officially removed from the Sutton family registry."

Chairman Willow looked at Harrison Sutton.

Harrison Sutton silently hung up the phone, looking rather awkward. "This... this is all a misunderstanding. I was just too angry before."

Chairman Willow sneered, "Getting so angry you sever ties with your daughter and even remove her from the family registry. Chairman Sutton, you certainly have quite a temper."

Being mocked like this, Harrison Sutton felt so ashamed he wished the ground would swallow him whole.

When he saw Eliza Sutton standing to the side as if nothing had happened, he felt utterly infuriated.

"Eliza Sutton, say something, will you?" Harrison Sutton said with a laugh. "You should at least explain things to Chairman Willow for your father. Otherwise, he might think I’m not a loving parent, right? Haha..."

Harrison Sutton found it extremely awkward when he had been laughing for a while and Eliza Sutton still hadn’t said a word.

"Eliza, just say something."

"You were the one who wanted to sever our father-daughter relationship. I have nothing to say. From this day forward, I am cutting all ties with the Sutton family. We have nothing to do with each other anymore!"

"How can you take words spoken in anger seriously? As for your place on the family registry, I’ll have the lawyer add it back."

"There’s no need. I think things are fine this way."

"Eliza..." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Mae Sheffield couldn’t help but interject, "Harrison, can’t you see? Eliza Sutton is doing this on purpose to sever ties with you. Others might not know that Chairman Willow is magnanimous enough to overlook what happened yesterday, but wouldn’t she know? Yet she deliberately said nothing and came back with red eyes on purpose. She calculated that you care so much about the Sutton Group that you would do something foolish!

This daughter of yours has wanted to cut ties with you for a long time! Otherwise, why would she come back with red-rimmed eyes, deliberately causing us to misunderstand!"

"Eliza, is that true?"

Before Eliza Sutton could speak, Ivan Willow couldn’t hold back. "I feel like coming here to apologize today was totally worth it. Not only did I get a sister, but I also got to hear such a hilarious joke. As parents, you abandon your daughter over the slightest trouble, and instead of reflecting on your own actions, you blame the wronged daughter for coming home with red eyes."

Ivan Willow had an exaggerated expression on his face. "Thank goodness my dad dotes on me. If I had a father like Chairman Sutton, and a family like Mrs. Sutton and Amelia Sutton, wouldn’t I be tormented to death?"

Ivan Willow’s words were the equivalent of stomping the dignity of Harrison Sutton and the others into the dirt.

Yet, they couldn’t say a single word in response.

"Isla, you’ve been wronged. From now on, I’ll look out for you." As he spoke, he opened his arms towards Eliza Sutton, looking like he was about to give her a hug.
