Her Cancellation of the Engagement novel Chapter 92

Chapter 92 Alisa Was Not Worth It

Barr had already left by the time Amari got home.

She glanced at her mom and dad sitting on the couch silently and wanted to say hello. But when she noticed that the mood was not right, she cautiously headed for her room.

She had just taken a step when Zaid said in a fury, "Stop!"

Amari stopped abruptly and looked at Zaid with a scared look on her face. "Dad, what's wrong?"

Amari had asked Barr to give Gianna trouble, which caused Barr to lose his job and got the Harper family into scrapes. Zaid and Griffith had been in a bad mood for this. Amari was the one who started it. Zaid and Griffith were so strict and must hold her accountable.

It had been a few days, but Zaid and Griffith haven't mentioned this matter. So Amari thought they didn't blame her, but at this point, she was seriously worried.

Griffith usually spoiled Amari and wouldn't mess with her. But it was terrible when her father went berserk.

"Get on your knees!" Zaid bellowed angrily.

Amari subconsciously shivered all over. She wanted to ask why, but when she saw that Zaid's eyes blazed with fury, she could just bow her head and obediently kneel down.

Dillan in his room heard the commotion and walked out. He only glanced at Amari and didn't say anything.

Amari deserved to get her ass beat.

"Splat!" Zaid slapped Amari's face and said angrily, "You bastard, I'm a man of integrity and have never hurt anyone, but I never thought that I would give birth to such a scourge as you!"

Amari covered her face and looked at Zaid incredulously.

No matter what Amari did wrong in the past, Zaid never hit her. But now he actually hit her so hard that she could clearly feel her face swollen.

Feeling aggrieved, she stood up violently, crying and glaring at Zaid. "Dad, you hit me? What did I do wrong? Why did you hit me?"

There was another loud slap.

As Amari finished speaking, she was slapped on the other cheek by Griffith.

Amari looked at Griffith incredulously.

After being slapped by her dad, Amari didn't expect her mom to hit her too!

"We've spoiled you! You committed all manner of evil things and didn't even repent. I'm so disappointed in you," Griffith said in a cold voice.

Amari had never seen Griffith so harsh and froze. "Mom! Why? What the hell is this about? I don't understand!"

She just asked Barr for a favor.

She hadn't expected Gianna's diploma to be real... Who would have known that Gianna who grew up in a Taoist temple would have two PhDs at sixteen?

She blamed herself for Barr getting fired. This was not what she wanted, but instead of understanding her, her parents slapped her in the face.

"You don't understand?" Griffith said in a harsh voice, "The Harper family's business is going under. Your uncle and aunt both lost their jobs. Dillan is being investigated by the organization he works for and has been suspended from duty. Do you know what the consequences are?"

Amari lowered her head and didn't say anything.

"You caused all this. But you tell me you don't understand?" Griffith looked disappointed.

Griffith was not strict in disciplining her children, and Amari was a girl, so Griffith thought that she should nourish Amari, pamper her, and teach her the correct values. But she did not expect Amari to be that evil. Griffith thought she herself was to blame.

"Your father started from nothing and founded Harper Group. Dillan studied every night until two in the morning to get his current job. How hard was it for our family to get where we are now? Dillan is upright, and neither plays games nor shows favoritism. Last time you falsely accused Gianna of stealing the bangle, Dillan almost got fired. It's because of you that Dillan is being investigated this time. What's wrong with you?"

Dillan took Gianna to the inquest, which was a standard practice when Amari falsely accused Gianna of stealing the bangle. After all, it was about 850 thousand dollars. It was Amari, Dillan's own sister, who did the framing, so he was suspended from duty, but he got reinstated soon after.

But things were different this time. Dillan was being investigated now!

But Griffith had many things to deal with at the office, and she didn't have time to worry about Amari.

Griffith had no idea it wouldn't be long before Amari caused trouble again.

"Why? Alisa is good at school and is a nice girl. Many people want to be friends with her. Mom, why don't you like her?"

Amari didn't expect this. It turned out that her mom didn't like Alisa.

But Amari really didn't understand. Wasn't Alisa a nice girl?

Griffith wanted to sternly reprimand Amari, but when she saw that Amari was ignorant of the whole thing, the words died on Griffith's lips. Griffith could only sigh. "Amari, think about it carefully. Does Alisa really treat you as a friend? When has she ever not wanted you to stand up for her?"

"She's my friend. There's nothing wrong with me standing up for her." Amari didn't think she was wrong.

"Yes, it's fine for you to stand up for your friend, but Alisa isn't worth it. Alisa always said Gianna was targeting her, but if that's true, why did Gianna and her family move out? And if Alisa is such a good friend, why did the Finley family not like her, but take a fancy to Gianna who grew up in the countryside? Do you think Old Mr. Finley is stupid?"

"Old Mr. Finley has seen more of the world. He prefers Gianna to Alisa, and that means Alisa's character is questionable. Moreover, Gianna had two PhDs by the age of sixteen, and this is such an honor to be proud of. If Alisa hadn't been bad-mouthing Gianna in front of you, you would have thought Gianna was awesome, right?"

Amari didn't say anything.

It seemed that what Griffith said was true.

Amari had a bad impression of Gianna because Alisa said bad things about Gianna in front of her. Alisa told Amari that Gianna's diploma might be fake, which was why Amari asked Barr for help.

"Today is the last time we're having one last serious conversation. We're going to apologize to Gianna tomorrow. Think about it on your own, and if you think it through, go to apologize to Giann with us tomorrow. As for Alisa, I want you to make the right judgment about whether she's worth being your friend or not."

With that, Griffith pulled Zaid into the room.

Dillan glanced at Amari and didn't say anything ultimately, turning around and entering his room.
