"What the hell? Tiana is her own flesh and blood, that she carried in her own body for nine freaking months! She gave birth to her! Why is she so keen on marrying her off like that, sacrificing her daughter's happiness like that? I just can't believe it! What a monster that mother is!" Annie just couldn't believe it. She thought that this kind of thing only happened in the old days. She had no idea that parents would still do this to their children in these modern times. Annie's opinion of Sheena had sunk low and deep. How could these kinds of people still exist in this harmonious and supposedly civilized society?

  "Yeah, I am also confused. It is hard to figure out what is going on in that crazy woman's head," Rain said in a tired voice. Just thinking of Tiana's plight was indeed very exhausting. He reached out to pull Annie in his arms. He just wanted the comfort of his dear wife's embrace. He could only handle so much and could not save the whole world. He must make peace with it.

  "I understand. But you said that you didn't want anything to do with the Ke family, didn't you? So don't worry about it too much." Annie held Rain tightly in her arms. She was aware of how pressured and tired he must be. She wished that she could help him, but what could she do? She let out a silent sigh, feeling a bit helpless. She gently patted his back, trying to give him the comfort he deserved. Maybe in everyone else's eyes, Rain was a tough man who was not afraid of anything and could achieve anything. But Annie knew better. Even the toughest man had his weak moments. And she should be there for him whenever he needed her.

  "Yeah. That's what I think too." Rain closed his eyes, slowly falling asleep in her arms.

  As the wedding date approached and got closer, Rain started getting busier. He wanted to finish all his tasks in advance so he could focus on his wedding and finally and legitimately be with the woman of his dreams.

  While Rain was busy working his ass off, Tiana was not that lucky. Her family found where she had run off to and forced her to go bac

  at's all. Just pity." Like Tiana said, she was really nice to Eugenia all the time. That was why Eugenia couldn't help but feel a bit guilty about what they were doing, ganging up on the poor innocent girl. They might have really gone too far this time, but there was no turning back now.

  "Pity? That's funny. When she gets married to the CEO, she will become the wife of a CEO. She will live a wealthy and happy life. I really don't know what you are thinking right now, Eugenia. What, you don't want your share of the money anymore?" Hannah didn't care whom Tiana was going to marry, for she was not her real sister anyway. As long as her marriage was good for this family and benefited them, then she would agree to anything.

  "Of course I want my share of money! Don't you dare think of keeping all the money to yourself!" When it came to money, Eugenia immediately forgot that Tiana, who had been really good to her, was suffering right now. She wanted money too, and she was going to get it. Nobody could stand between her and that money.

  "I am not planning to. Don't worry," hummed Hannah in a mock tone. She thought that Eugenia was really fake sometimes. She even said that she pitied Tiana. How ridiculous was that? What a hypocrite! If she really pitied her, she wouldn't have helped them bring Tiana back at all. Eugenia was just as guilty as every single one of them.
