I pulled my hands free,"If you have nothing to say, Mr. Walter, I'll take my leave."
"No, no, Clara, my child... your husband... ah..."
For the first time, I saw a flicker of fear in my father's eyes. But I hardened my heart, knowing his ruthless and cruel nature.
"I won't say this again: if you don't have anything to say, I'll take my leave now. I'm not interested in this drama today.”
I turned to leave, but my legs were suddenly held. My father fell to their knees
"Clara, we know we've wronged you," my father pleaded, "but you must keep your father safe. Your husband has hacked into our company's network system. We don't know what he wants, but he's secretly bought all our shares. We'll go bankrupt."
I scoffed."What nonsense are you spouting? You're tired of taunting me, and now you're going after my husband?"
"No, no, my child. Your husband is powerful, and he wants to come after me."
"Clara, my child, don't you understand? Your father—"
I cut off my stepmother as she tried to intervene."This has nothing to do with me. Don't call me your child. I'm leaving now."
