"A piece of your clothing cost tens of thousands of dollars! How have I and Nerissa lived since we were young? Have you forgotten how you treated us when you entered our family? Who was the one that went out and bought you roasted sweet potatoes even though it was midnight, and it's cold and snowy outside? It was me, not the servants! You said you wanted schicken essence because it was good for your complexion. Who was the one who cooked the soup for you? It's Nerissa! All of your clothes need to be hand-washed three times. Whenever it's not up to your satisfaction or if a thread cloose, you would hit and scold us. We don't even eat..." "Graham, although I am not your biological daughter, what about Nerissa? Have you ever treated her as your daughter? Donna, how did you treat her? Why does she look so frail? She is blood-related to you, yet she seems like she's not adequately provided. Instead, why does she look like she's being exploited? Why does her period only cevery 6 months? Why does she always have to take meds and injections? I remember that when she was young, she dirtied one of your dresses, and you punished her by forcing her to kneel in the snow for an entire night! Why do I have such a weak body? Why did I have a miscarriage? Graham Crouch, why don't you tell me?" Tears started streaming down Lindsay's eyes. Hatred also filled her gaze.
"If you are allowed to destroy both of our lives, why can't I ruin yours? Your son is hopeless now, yet you still feel sorry for him? This is the karma you deserve for treating us like sh*t. You will never be able to have any more kids. As for your son, he's going to be a dwarf for the rest of his life. A good-for-nothing!" Nerissa stared at Lindsay and did not know what to say. In this household, Lindsay was indeed the only one who still regarded her as a human! "Lindsay, what nonsense are you talking about?" Graham bellowed and interrupted madly. However, anger welled up in his chest again. His entire face was burning red as he clenched his chest. "Nonsense? I'm talking nonsense?" Suddenly, Lindsay pushed Nerissa out again. "Why don't you tell him? What did this b*stard do to me?" "Lindsay?" "Just say it!" Lindsay glared at Nerissa.
Nerissa was so frightened that she cowered a little. She swallowed her saliva but did not say anything. Lindsay then shoved her aside.

Donna, are you curious why he's treating me, his foster daughter, better than he treats his biological daughter and you, his lawfully wedded young wife?" Lindsay sneered coldly. Tears began to well in her eyes.
"Lindsay Crouch!" Graham climbed out of bed with a ferocious look in his eyes. "Shut up!" Donna turned around. Her gaze wandered between the two of them, and she seemed to have sensed something. As soon as her gaze landed on Lindsay, she heard her say, "What, are you afraid that others will find out about all the dirty things you've done? You are right! This so-called adopted father of mine has abusedever since I was eight years old. When I was sixteen, he raped me! Why do you think I have a foothold in this family? Why do you think I can get everything I asked for? Because like you, I can satisfy his desires! I thought that since you cinto our family, I would be free from his clutches. And what about you? You guys are two peas in a pod! You are as vicious and evil as him! You always have sevil tricks up your sleeves! Do you want to know something? I once miscarried his baby. Do you know what happened? He forced the medicine down my throat at the wooden shed in our backyard!" "It was good anyway. After a painful experience, I was completely liberated! Do you know whom I hate most in my life? Besides the mother who abandoned us and eloped with another man, I hate the entire Crouch family! I despise all of you! Do you think I am as well-behaved as Nerissa and as weak as her? I want to make sure you guys suffer at least ten times of what I have suffered! I want you to know what it felt like!" Lindsay pointed at Benson and snarled.
"When he was four, he pushed a girl down the stairs. When he was five, he smashed someone's head open. By the the was six, he already knew to extort money from others! As his parents, have the two of you said anything to him? How much did you have to compensate others for his misbehaviours? Do you even remember that you have a daughter with a day job, who perhaps is cold and hungry? You treat your son as human, while those poor families are peasants, and all they deserve are leftovers! Even after growing up, Benson will still be scum of society. Graham, I'm sure you are happy to have a kid at old age. You're proud of ruining other children's lives, right? You treat your biological daughter as a servant for your wife. Are you happy about that? People like you don't deserve to have kids! What you get today is the Crouch family's retribution! God knows what he's doing. You have erectile dysfunction and cannot produce any sperm. Your son has also beca disabled person. Weren't you always hoping for someone to carry on your ancestral line? Congratulations, the Crouch family will no longer have that ability!" Lindsay laughed out loud. She had been waiting for this day for a long time. She tapped her feet and suddenly thought of something.
"Oh, there's something I left out! I did not give you my first time. The blood actually cfrom my fingertips! Donna, do you know where you're lacking now?" Lindsay laughed maniacally.
As soon as she turned around, a burst of flashing lights flashed by. The people in the room suddenly cback to their senses.
"What are you all doing in here? Who allowed you to cin? Get out!" Lindsay subconsciously tried to cover up. Only then she realized something, but it was too late.
Graham spurted out a mouthful of blood. In a heartbeat, the ward was in chaos again. Lindsay shot Nerissa a sideways glance. "Why did you cback? You're f**king dumb!" Lindsay then took off her diamond watch and put it in Nerissa's hand. Then, she turned around and strode out of the door.
This time, Nerissa was not stupid. Tears were streaming down her cheeks as she secretly stuffed the watch into her bag. Graham had to be resuscitated, and the corridor was filled with reporters and onlookers. After learning that he was out of danger, Nerissa left.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe next day, the headlines of all the news outlets were about the Crouch family's scandals and inside stories. At this time, every piece of information that the reporters could get their hands on was blasted on the Internet. No stone was left unturned.
As soon as Alicia walked into the office, all she could hear were people gossiping about the Crouch family.
"I really didn't expect that there would be so many disgusting things happening in a rich and powerful family! hateindsay is really pitiful and
hateful..." "The most hateful person is still her mother. She's too selfish. She abandoned her daughters and to d eloped! She left her daughters to die! Lindsay was Lindsay was vicious, but she's also pitiful. It's said that Graham raped her when she was younger and also abused her! I also heard that she had a miscarriage. That girl is really unfortunate. No wonder her personality is so twisted, and she's so vicious!"
"Graham is really malicious and duplicitous. It turns out that all of his charity work is just for show! His family only looks harmonious on the surface. And his act of caring for the unfortunate, treating his foster daughter better than his own children...all of it was just an act! Now that I think about it, humans are selfish by nature! Why on earth would he have treated her so well for no reason?" "Actually, Lindsay has sconscience. She did not hurt her half sister!" "That younger brother of hers is also... it's karma!" "I heard that Crouch Group is cooperating with our company? They changed the label after purchasing the goods at a high price. It seems that the original company sued them!"
"Yes, I've heard about this before! The Crouch family is probably going to be completely ruined this time! However, Lindsay is really ruthless. I heard that before she left home, she even took away all the valuables in the house!"
