Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot
Chapter 1726 - Chapter 1726 419 Feeling despair jumped off the building

Chapter 1726: 419: Feeling despair, jumped off the building! Chapter 1726: 419: Feeling despair, jumped off the building! Christina Armstrong felt utterly hopeless.

She had never imagined things would turn out this way.

She had thought her mother had changed, become a good mother.

But now what?

Reality had slapped her hard across the face.

Her parents had conspired to sell her.

To an old man nearing seventy.

What was this supposed to mean?

To her parents, what did she even amount to?

Laughable!

Sabrina Sabir stood just outside the door and snorted coldly, “You should count it your good fortune that Mr. Zach fancies you. Stop your wailing and embarassing yourself!”

Christina took a deep breath, “Mom, I just have one question for you, did you sell me? George didn’t develop any software at all, did he? The money for buying his car came from selling me, didn’t it?”

Some thoughts are too terrifying upon close inspection.

It’s no wonder.

No wonder everyone in my aunt’s family thought something was fishy.

Only she was this foolish!

She’d rather believe ‘even tigers do not eat their cubs’ than accept that her mother meant her harm.

“How much do you think you’re worth? With the little flesh on your bones, even if we offered you, nobody would want you! Selling? Do you think you are some priceless young lady? You’re nothing more than a country bumpkin!” The more Christina thought about it, the angrier she got, until she eventually let out a torrent of curse words!

“Mom! George and I are both your children! Why do you treat us so differently? As a child, because I was the older sister, you made me give way to George in everything. When we made mistakes, if I was at fault, you hit me, but if George was at fault, you still hit me! As we grew up, to let George go to school, I always ranked first in my class, but you used the excuse that I was a poor student to pull me out of school. The wages I earned went entirely to George’s living expenses! I didn’t keep a penny for myself! I had no complaints because George is my real brother! But what did I get in return? Not only did I not earn your compassion, I earned being sold by you! Why is this? We’re both your flesh and blood, so why can’t you be more fair to me? I am a person, a living, breathing person, not an object to be traded for money!”

Her words were a deadly incisive rebuke that made Edward Armstrong cover his face and weep bitterly.

He never knew his daughter had suffered so much.

Edward Armstrong looked at Sabrina, “Sabrina, maybe we should just forget it, let’s…”

Marrying his own daughter to a man over seventy, Edward Armstrong found it hard to bear.

“Forget it? What do you mean forget it!” Sabrina glared at Edward, thinking him a weakling, someone who was not capable of doing anything right, “What do you know? Mr. Zach has everything he wants, and he is about to emigrate abroad! She will be the envied wife of a wealthy man! And about George, George has always wanted to study for his Masters in Uron Country, don’t you know how easy it is to get things done if you know the right people! Are you going to stand by and let George’s future be ruined by this worthless girl?”

At the mention of his son, Edward’s expression changed.

Indeed.

George was the Armstrong Clan’s only hope, he couldn’t neglect him.

At this point, Sabrina lowered her voice, “A married daughter is like spilled water, make your choice, do you want this worthless girl or do you want George! To me, it seems you really can’t tell what’s what!”

Edward Armstrong said no more.

A choice between a son and a daughter.

Any clear-sighted person would know who to choose.

Sabrina looked towards the door of the room, cursing, “You shameless little wench, what right do you have to compare yourself to George! George is a talented graduate from a prestigious university, he is destined for great things! What are you? Nothing but a stumbling block!”

Hearing these unbearable words, Christina felt as if all her strength had been drained in an instant, her face deathly pale.

It took a while for Christina to stop the tears on her face, she took a deep breath, “Mom, I want to ask you one question.”

“Am I your biological child?”

This answer mattered greatly to Christina.

If she had been adopted by Sabrina.

Then she would accept her fate.

“Of course you’re my own!” Sabrina continued, “Listen here, you little wench, you’d better behave! Otherwise, there’s nothing I won’t do!”

Hearing this response, Christina leaned against the door, sliding powerlessly to the floor.

She couldn’t accept this.

She also didn’t know how her life had become what it was now.

In the ninth grade, for her brother’s sake, she gave up her own education.

Barely making it to adulthood, she longed to marry a good husband, to live a stable life as a housewife, and to nurture her children.
