Chapter 106 Your Heart Is Too Dirty
Is George saying this because he wants to kick her out of the Windsor family?
No! Absolutely not!
How could George kick her out just for Catherine's sake? She's the daughter of the Windsor family!
They've lived together for so many years - don't they have any feelings for her at all?
"George, don't kick me out!"
George looked at Esme, who was tied to the concrete pillar in front of him, his eyes as cold as if he were looking at a stranger.
"Don't worry, you're the child Grandma adopted, so you can still take care of her. But except for when you're taking care of Grandma, don't even think about coming back to the Windsor family."
Esme's face turned pale with fear!
"No! Don't treat me like this, please. I've been with the Windsor family for so many years - don't you have any feelings for me at all? I'm part of the Windsor family too!"
George suddenly grabbed Esme by the throat!
"Esme, this is my last warning. No matter what Catherine does, she's our Windsor family's treasure. As for Alexander..."
Annie stood behind him, smiling and bowing slightly. "Alexander treasures Catherine like a jewel. He said as long as Catherine is happy, he'll do anything. He'll even treat Catherine's future children as his own."
When Alexander said this, he was absolutely confident, convinced that he would definitely be the father of Catherine's future children!
But to George and Esme's ears, it sounded like Alexander was volunteering to raise someone else's kids...
The subtle prejudice George had against Alexander suddenly disappeared.
He had wrongly judged Alexander all this time!
Esme's face also became quite ugly.
That bitch Catherine - why would Alexander go this far for her!
The Windsor family even wants Catherine's future children to be the Windsor family heirs!
If that really happens, the Windsor family will have nothing to do with her in the future.
"George, don't send me away. I'll never dare do it again!"
George's hand gripped Esme's throat. "You better remember what you're saying. Staying by Grandma's side, you won't have a hard life. But if you want to hurt Catherine, the Windsor family won't tolerate you."
"Why? I'm also a daughter of the Windsor family."
Esme felt unwilling, and with George's hand gripping her throat, her breathing became difficult.
George laughed softly and leaned close to Esme's ear.
"Because you're not worthy. That heart of yours is just too dirty."
Despair filled Esme's eyes instantly!
George cut the ropes binding her. Without even looking at Esme, who had collapsed on the ground gasping for air, he turned and left the underground parking lot.
Annie acted as if she hadn't seen anything and followed George out.
She hadn't expected the Windsor family to care about Catherine even more than she thought. But Catherine was so wonderful - she deserved it!
Esme was terrified. The intense fear and resentment twisted her face!
She couldn't just sit here and wait for her doom. This was all Catherine's fault!
Esme coughed several times before taking out her phone and dialing an encrypted number.
Meanwhile.
In the hospital room, Oliver was still waiting eagerly for Esme to bring George to treat him.
The Johnson family members around him were also waiting.
Oliver said irritably, "You guys want George to treat you too? Look at yourselves - do you even deserve it?"
Steven got angry seeing Oliver acting so smug.
"You think George will treat you? George's consultation fees aren't cheap. Can your family even afford it?"
Oliver really couldn't afford it right now!
All his liquid assets were gone. The entire Smith Group had less than three million dollars available.
And that three million was money Martin had given them when buying the old house and cemetery plot!
George's consultation fees started at five million dollars. He couldn't come up with that much at all.
"Whether I can afford it or not is none of your business. You're talking like you can afford it."
Oliver glared, not taking Steven seriously at all.
Did he really think Oliver didn't know about the Johnson family almost going bankrupt?
Steven's recent investment projects had all failed, causing the entire Johnson Group to lose a huge amount of money. That's why Steven was in a bad mood and decided to visit his mother's grave.
Oliver knew the Johnson family's business had been losing money lately. He had originally planned to extort a large sum from them when Clara got married - worst case, Clara could just divorce afterwards.
But now his mind was full of his own illness. He had no energy to think about anything else!
As for Steven, just thinking about how he had tricked him just to get their house and cemetery plot made Oliver wish he would get sick and die first!
Not a single good person in the Johnson family!
Steven laughed coldly.
"No matter how bad off our family is, we still have money for my treatment. Unlike your family, where any money you have goes to honoring your father-in-law."
Oliver looked confused.
He only gave Declan and Anouk twenty thousand dollars a year at most - not that much.
"What do you mean? When did I take money to honor my father-in-law?"
Steven looked at Oliver like he was looking at a pathetic fool.
Molly, catching Steven's signal, also laughed coldly.
"Everyone knows your wife sends her parents a hundred thousand dollars every month. The little money in your pocket probably all went to buying a house for Celeste's brother."
Serenity City wasn't a big city, and they all had the same circle of friends. Sooner or later, everyone knew everyone else's family business.
Celeste used to brag about how good Oliver was to her, saying herself that Oliver transferred a hundred thousand dollars to Declan and Anouk every month.
Molly had been quite envious at the time.
She had even thought the Smith family was pretty decent because of this, which was why she agreed to the marriage alliance.
Now seeing how stingy Oliver was, he probably didn't know about this at all.
Oliver was stunned!
A hundred thousand dollars every month?
This was killing him!
His hands trembling, he took out his phone and carefully checked the balance of all his bank cards.
It felt like a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head!
Celeste had been secretly using his money to support her parents all along!
No wonder he hadn't saved any money all these years - Celeste had taken it all!
Oliver's chest heaved violently with anger. Clara quickly went over to calm him down.
"Dad, don't get angry. Maybe there's some misunderstanding. Wait until Mom comes back and ask her about it."
Oliver thought about it - that made sense.
He had just calmed down when several police officers knocked and walked in.
"Oliver, Steven, you're suspected of illegally trespassing on someone else's cemetery. Come with us now!"
