Chapter 245

Before today, Joe had never regarded Haley as his daughter. In his mind, his daughter was someone like Xena, who would lean on him, sweet-talk him, care for him, and always think of him. But Haley carried too much of Yvonne's shadow.

She looked too much like Yvonne, especially those eyes and brows, as if she had been carved from the same mold. Every time he saw Haley, he would think of Yvonne's business acumen and her strong and cold demeanor. It was a kind of deep-seated inferiority and fear from the soul.

So, he simply did not like Haley. But he forgot, when pushed too far, there would be a backlash. Haley had been suppressed for too long. Any last trace of affection she had for him had been killed by him, which led to the situation today.

Joe gritted his teeth and softened his tone, "Haley, your mother is watching us from heaven. She wouldn't want to see us, father and daughter, come to this point. Be obedient, give me the property deed."

He regretted deeply at this moment.
