The billionaire's kick-ass wife novel (Isabella) novel Chapter 626

Chapter 626

After hearing Elodia's question, Lilian and Alistair's eyes flashed.

Alistair's expression instantly darkened as he shouted angrily, "Damn you! How dare you question us?

"Which daughter doesn't care about her parents? Is it wrong for us to look for you? You don't admit that you're an ingrate. Get over here!"

As Alistair spoke, he pulled out the belt around his waist and waved it in the air a few times. His face was filled with ferocity.

He was going to teach his rebellious daughter a lesson today. How could she talk back to them?

The Lockwood family's guard would never allow Alistair to do as he pleased. Seeing his attitude, a guard stepped forward and without saying a word, kicked Alistair.

Alistair immediately let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground. His face was twisted in pain and he was sweating profusely.

When Elodia what was happening, there was a mixture of emotions in her eyes. However, those emotions in her eyes soon faded completely.

When her parents decided to sell her to build a house for her brother so he could get married, Elodia chose to cut all ties with her parents. She was only a year older than her brother. But since they were children, she had been the one doing the household chores yet all the food went to her brother.

Whenever her brother made a mistake and Elodia was the one who was beaten up.

Even when Elodia could go to school back then, it was because her brother did not want to go to school and she had gone along to help with his homework.

Otherwise, she would not even have had the chance to go to school.

When she was 13 years old, her parents asked her to drop out of school and work in a local factory to earn money.

Work at the factory was 17 hours a day. She was young but haggard and scrawny. If there was any month she earned less than usual, she would be beaten up when she returned home.

Elodia's earnings paid for almost all the expenses at home.

As for her so-called parents, they slept, played cards, and drank at home every day. Besides supporting the entire family's daily expenses, she also had to support her brother's extravagant expenses in school.

They ate and drank well every day. However, when Elodia got home from work, all she had was leftovers.

Besides that, she still had to wash the dishes, clean the house, and serve her greedy and lazy parents and younger brother.

Because she could earn money to support the family, Elodia's parents had never thought of letting her get married.

The year Elodia turned 20, the local factory closed down. When her parents saw that she could no longer bring money home, they came up with a scheme.

At first, they found for their daughter a widower in his forties from a neighboring village. The widower came from a wealthy family, but the widower had already beaten two wives to death.

If Elodia was unwilling, her parents gave her a thrashing. Even her brother would point at her and call her an immature ingrate who did not know how to think for her family.

It was only because the widower had already given the Hudson family 40 thousand dollars as a show of appreciation.

Alistair used his belt to hit Elodia till her skin and flesh were lacerated. There was not a single inch of skin on Elodia that was not cut. She lay in bed for more than 40 days before she could get down and walk.

Elodia would rather die than submit to her parents. When the widower heard about that, he called off the marriage without a second thought.

Elodia's parents flew into a rage out of humiliation. In the end, they were afraid of beating her to death because she could earn money, so they did not hit her again. Instead, they carefully nursed her injuries.

At first, Elodia thought that her parents had finally found their conscience. She thought that they still felt sorry for their daughter.

However, she did not expect that as soon as her injuries healed, his parents would sell her to human traffickers.

If Damon Lockwood had not happened to meet Elodia and saved her, she would have been sold.

Therefore, even though Kim and Gary did not treat Elodia well, Elodia was extremely grateful to Damon. She was even grateful to the entire Lockwood family.

Elodia knew that her life was hard. No one had doted on her since she was young. She did not blame life for being unfair.

Because now, she had already overcome her past and made it in life.

She was no longer living for others. Every day, every minute and every second of her life now was for herself.

She wanted to become stronger so that she could protect herself and her son.

As for the couple from the Hudson family, Elodia would let them know today that she was no longer the daughter they could control.

Elodia wanted to end their ideas about her completely and make sure her parents never dare to look for her again.

Elodia looked at the Lockwood family's guard and said, "Sir, although these two are my parents. I've already cut ties with them.

"Since they dared to cause trouble at Bella's wedding today, they must have been instructed by someone. Otherwise, they would not have come here at all.

"Someone is behind this. You don't have to show mercy. Do whatever you have to do."
