Chapter 1727: 419: Disheartened, jumping off a building!_2 Chapter 1727: 419: Disheartened, jumping off a building!_2 She swore in her heart, she would never let her children repeat her life.
She would try her best to be a good wife, a good mother.
Why was such a simple wish so difficult for her?
Christina Armstrong choked up and spoke again, “Mom, I'm begging you, as long as you don't make me marry that old man, I'll do anything you say, I can do whatever you ask…”
“You stupid girl, I'm telling you, unless you're dead, you must marry Peter Stone!” Sabrina Sabir said with unusual determination.
After all, she had already received a dowry of two million.
Christina Armstrong closed her eyes in pain.
Why?
Why did fate treat her this way?
Edward Armstrong, who was outside, heard this and sighed, he immediately walked over to Sabrina Sabir and said in a low voice, “Sabrina, don't be so absolute with your words, what if the child really can't think straight?”
Sabrina Sabir frowned and deliberately raised her voice, “What's wrong with my loud voice? Does that little bitch dare to actually die? If she has the guts, let her jump off a building!”
This was the top floor.
The 35th floor.
Did Christina Armstrong dare to jump?
She didn't dare.
Sabrina Sabir knew her daughter very well.
Christina Armstrong had always been timid and also afraid of heights, how could she dare to jump off a building?
With this in mind, Sabrina Sabir spoke again, continuing, “If she doesn't dare to jump off the building, then let her crash into a wall! Better dead and at peace!”
Christina Armstrong's complexion turned from pale to ashen.
Some words cut to the bone.
Now, she was full of regret.
Regretful that she hadn't told her auntie Wennie and Isla Astir the whole story.
If auntie knew, she would definitely have come to support her.
No phone.
There was also no computer in the house, she couldn't contact auntie…
Edward Armstrong sighed again, “Sabrina, don't talk like that.”
“What do you know!” Sabrina Sabir shot a glance at Edward Armstrong, “You're just a good-for-nothing, otherwise why would I need to sell my daughter? It's all because you are incapable!”
Upon hearing these words, Edward Armstrong hung his head in shame.
Inside the apartment, Christina Armstrong's tears continued to flow.
“Dad, please save me…”
Hearing such a voice, was Edward Armstrong really not sad?
He was very sad.
But what good did his sadness do?
He couldn't possibly give up on George Armstrong just for the sake of a girl.
After all, a son could continue the family line.
Edward Armstrong walked to the door, and with a sense of helplessness, said, “Christina, just think of it as dad letting you down, dad has no ability. Apart from being a bit older, Peter Stone is very good in other aspects, especially economically. Your mom checked, though Peter Stone is already seventy this year, he still has no children. Once you marry him and give him a son, you'll be able to inherit all of his wealth.”
“Peter Stone has not only a small villa in Capital City but also tens of millions in savings. Ah, Christina, you know your own circumstances, being able to marry someone like Peter Stone, it's really a stroke of luck for our family! Your mom and I are doing this for your own good, I hope you can understand.”
“Dad, I don't understand…” Christina Armstrong cried out hoarsely, “I don't understand how my own father could say such things! Can you tell me why?”
Edward Armstrong sighed again.
“Christina, you're still young, you don't know the difficulties of life, much less how tough it is to cook without rice. But it's different for your dad, I have been through the hardships of life. Marrying Peter Stone would save you at least fifty years of struggle. Think about it, he's a seventy-year-old man, how many more years can he live? Once he closes his eyes for good, all of his money will belong to you and George.”
“Hahaha…” Christina Armstrong outright laughed, “Dad, you're really always thinking about your son!”
Edward Armstrong frowned slightly, sensing something off in Christina's words. What did she mean 'his son'?
Wasn't George Armstrong Christina Armstrong's own brother?
Edward Armstrong spoke with great helplessness, “Christina, don't be so selfish, George is not just my son, he's also your brother. As a sister, no matter what, you should think of your brother, even after you're married with children.”
Christina Armstrong still didn't get it, lacking the realization of an older sister.
Like this, once she was married, she would definitely not care about George.
It seemed Sabrina Sabir made the right decision.
Instead of raising a daughter for nothing, it's better to take advantage of her when she's useful, to collect more dowry money, so they could get a house and a car for George.
Christina Armstrong laughed so hard that tears came out, “I'm selfish? I'm selfish? I gave up my studies to work and earn money for his tuition fees, whenever there's anything good to eat or drink at home, I always let him have it. Now, I even have to marry an old man for his sake, and I'm the one who's selfish!”
