Chapter 1068 Quarrel
Lena was also becoming more and more relaxed and even had a vague expectation of joining the McKinney family.
Being insistent on caring for Lena, Mervyn, Owen, and Lauren gave Lena an astonishing amount of engagement gifts and refused her proposal to prepare her own wedding gifts.
“Since you are married to Gideon, we are a family. Why do we have to argue about this kind of thing?” Lauren said, “We are elders, and you cannot refuse what elders give you. You are a child, so you must listen to us.”
Lena was amused by Lauren’s unreasonable remarks, and Gideon also strongly agreed with their approach.
In a three-to-one situation, Lena had no choice but to agree.
Just as Lena thought she was about to embark on a happy life, two people who she had already forgotten appeared in front of her.
“How could you be here?”
Gideon came to pick up Lena as usual. Only when he walked to the gate did he see Lena arguing with others, which attracted the attention of many people.
Rather than being a dispute, it was more accurate that those two people were causing trouble to Lena.
Blake and Clare, wearing tattered clothes and carrying a man with obvious intellectual problems, knelt together in front of Lena.
Clare cried bitterly, “I know you still hate us, but it was we who saved you back then that allowed you to grow up smoothly.

“If you’re talking about raising me and forcing me to do household chores since I was three years old, and then treating me like a cash cow after seven years old… I think the money I’ve given you over the years is enough to repay all of this.” Lena raised her voice, making the people around her hear her clearly.
Lena knew what the purpose of Blake and Clare’s quarrel was at this moment. “Are you treating me as a free servant and money-making tool? The money I have given you over the years is already enough to pay off your socalled debts!” Lena’s voice echoed in the air, and her eyes were firm and fearless.
The surrounding crowd began to discuss. Some sympathized with Lena, while others accused her of being heartless and unjust. Blake’s and Clare’s faces suddenly turned pale because they didn’t expect Lena to reveal everything in public.
How could Clare and Blake easily give up?
Clare explained with tears, “We didn’t take good care of you back then, but it was because we were too poor and didn’t have the ability to give you a better life. Now, you have grown up, and we just want to ask you to help us.”
Not seen for a while, Clare had aged a lot, and her hunched body looked really pitiful. Many people were deceived by her appearance and cast strange looks at Lena.
Lena sneered, “Is that so?
