Chapter 299 Unheard Daughter

After listening to his father–in–law and mother–in–law, Sam took a look at Claire.

Seeing that she was upset and could no longer stand after hearing what her parents said, he held Claire’s hand and ushered her to sit down.

He sneered. “You’ve known that you’ve made your daughter sacrifice everything and you don’t want to make up for it?”

Ken became angry.

Sam came to our place to talk about how we should split the property.

Why doesn’t he ask everyone if any of their daughters wanted to snatch the family’s property after getting married? He’s so snobbish!

“Sam, my dad isn’t dead yet!” He said angrily, “I think my sister’s been calculative recently because of you!” Sam was furious. “Since your father’s still alive, why did you force her to buy a burial plot?”

The old man coughed violently.

-The old man was trembling and his eyes were cloudy, “I’ve never asked Claire to buy me a burial plot. Claire’s just being filial… I’m so sorry you had to argue because of me. I only have a few days left and I hope all of you are happy. You can bury me anywhere after I die, don’t worry about it..

Claire felt suffocated and remained silent.

Ken said angrily, “Sam, would it kill you not to make my dad disappointed? We’re supposed to be filial as their children, and buying a burial plot for my Dad is our responsibility.

*

Sam was unmoved and expressed his opinion, “I didn’t say that you shouldn’t be filial. Since both of you are their children, you can’t just let Claire fork out the money. The price of the plot is 250000 dollars. Claire will pay 150000 dollars while you can pay the rest,”

Ken opened his mouth. He felt that his brother–in–law was menacing and he did not know what to say.

He lowered his head, and after a while, he said dully, “I don’t have money! I earn 4000 dollars a month and I can barely afford my expenses. I don’t have much savings either…”

Sam said indifferently, “I don’t care, I said what I said. It’s okay to be filial to your parents, but you can’t just suck on Claire’s blood. I’ll divorce her if you insist she pays the full price,”

Claire’s parents were stunned and looked at her anxiously.

They did not care if Claire brought her husband to quarrel with them. However, it was too horrible to say that they were sucking their daughter’s blood!

Claire finally spoke. “Mom and Dad, I’ll pay for the plot,

Ken and Claire’s parents heaved a sigh of relief. Blood was thicker than water after all. Claire would not ignore them,

But she asked with a smile, “But if this is the case, Sam and I will be divorced, and I need to take care of my daughter. Can you make room for me at home?”

The old lady was confused, “Huh?” while the old man stuttered.

The old lady, huh? With a sound, he was stunned, and the old man faltered.

Ken frowned and said, “Claire, there are no more rooms in the house. Mom and Dad share a room and I have my room. There are a lot of books in the study room too,”

Claire looked at the old lady.

Her mother let her down again. She hesitated and sighed, “Sam’s new house hasn’t been renovated yet… If he gets married in two years and has a child, you could help him take care of the baby and…”

The most important thing was when they talked to the bride about the dowry, Ken’s partner said she did not want to associate with Claire… If she lived at home, Ken’s partner would not be happy.

The old lady wiped her tears, thinking it was too difficult.

Claire’s father said, “Claire, if you lived with your sister–in–law, it would be unreasonable… Others will laugh at you. Why don’t you rest in a house outside…”

She’s not short of money anyway, she could rent a house for one or two thousand dollars and it would be enough for Claire and her daughter to live in.

Cláire understood them and looked at her parents with tears in her eyes, “If it’s like this… Then where’s my

home?”

She thought that no matter how much her parents loved her younger brother, they still treated her as their daughter.

She did not expect to be treated like an outsider when they were discussing how the properties should be divided.

However, when it came to money and effort, everything Claire did was what she was supposed to do.

Everyone was feeling down. The old lady begged as she looked at Sam, “Sam, please think about it again. What would happen to your daughter if you divorced Claire? She would no longer have parents… You should love Claire more since she suffered so much!”

Sam stood up and said coldly, “I bought the house with my own money and if we divorced, she would have to move out. I don’t intend to share a penny with her.”

He paused for a moment and said sarcastically, “You don’t even love your daughter but you expect an outsider to love her. Why should I?”

He left after that.

The family were looking at each other.

Ken said, “Whatever! It’s good that you left him, you don’t need him! He doesn’t know how to talk and doesn’t respect the elderly! Claire’s gonna suffer if she stays with him!”

“Claire, after divorcing him, you should rent a house in our community and we’ll live together! Don’t worry, I’ll take care of Lola!”

Claire chuckled, looked at them, picked up her bag, and left without saying anything. „No network available now. Please check your networki

After she closed the door, she cut ties with her family.

Claire thought of what Lilly said. She should clear her mind whenever she feels confused.

Only then did she realize that she was not better than a child as Lilly was more aware of what was happening than her.

Grace brought the spirit compass and went downstairs to where Claire was. She was collecting ghosts.

Grace knew that she was not very strong.

However, the sun was out and the Ghost Festival had passed.

She could do it!

Grace came downstairs and bumped into Claire.

“Miss,” her voice was cold, “Can you do me a favor?”

Upon seeing the girl, Claire wiped away her tears and asked in surprise, “Uh, do I know you?”

Grace’s face was cold, and she nodded, “I need to see your father,”

Claire was stunned, “Huh?”

She looked upstairs hesitantly and bit her lips.

She did not want to go up.

My dad lived in 1908. I’ll scan the access card for you, you should go up by yourself.

“My dad is up there, 1908, I’ll help you check the door, go up by yourself!”

Grace’s eyes were cold, she nodded and said, “Okay,”

The reason why she marked Claire was because she was afraid of scaring the ghost. She was worried that the evil spirit would run away and not be found during the Ghost Festival.

Claire was now useless to her.

Claire swiped the access card, and Grace went in. Grace was emotionless and as cold as ice.

Just when she turned around to thank her, she noticed that the talisman she placed on Claire was gone.

Grace was taken aback.
