Chapter 55 
Bethany rushed over, anger written on her face. 

She grabbed hold of Meghan’s hair and pulled the woman away from George’s arms, 
“Mom, let go of me. You’re hurting me…” Meghan cried out in pain. 
Bethany slapped Meghan in the face. 
You bastard! You still call me your mother, right? I treat you as my own daughter, and this is how you repay me? How dare husband? I’m going to beat you up! You ingrate! You shameless bitch!” 
She slapped Meghan in the face again and again 
Bethany not only slapped Meghan, but the former also scratched the latter’s face with her nails. 
Meghan’s face was soon terribly scarred 

“Ah! No! Dad, help me…” 
you 
seduce пу 
Meghan was no match for Bethany when she was in a state of rage and madness. The former could only ask for help after suffering in Bethany’s hands. 
George ran forward to stop Bethany 
That’s enough. Let go of Meghan! Look how badly you’ve beaten herf 
“Ah!” Bethany got even more furious. 
She shifted the target toward George and proceeded to hit him continuously. 
“You’re a bastard, too, How could you do such a thing? Are you worthy of me? Are you still human?” 
Slap! 
George slapped Bethany hard in the face and barked at her. “Enough! Don’t make a scene like a shrew. Look at you. You don’t look like 2 noblewoman at all. You’re no different than the unreasonable shrews who can only know how to throw tantrums!” 
“Ah!” 
George’s blow was particularly harsh. 
Bethany fell to the ground and hit her forehead on the corner of the table. 
Her whole body trembled in pain, but her heart hurt even more. 
She thought, “How could my husband and my adopted daughter do that to me, and even call me a shrew? He’s so shameless! They’re all shameless!‘ 
“Mom!” 
Samson finally chased after her. From afar, he saw his father push his mother down. As he shouted, he rushed into the study and helped Bethany 
from the ground, all the while glaring angrily at George 
up 
“Dad, how could you do this to Mom!” 
Right then, Edward entered the room too. He glanced at Meghan on the ground and said, his face turned ashen. “Sam, get Mom downstairs first, We’ll talk about it after they clean up” 
It was only then did Samson notice that both George and Meghan were not wearing anything. He felt it was a rather unsettling sight and a stroke of bad luck. 
He helped Bethany, who was sobbing so badly that she might faint, out of the study. 
George went to help Meghan up.

Edward’s face darkened. 
Bethany and Samson, who had just reached the door, also heard it. 
“You bastards! What a shameless couple!” Bethany was so mad that she wanted to pounce on them again. 
Samson hurriedly stopped her and dragged her out of the study. 
“Mom, let’s wait until they get dressed and head downstairs!” Samson advised her. 
Bethany was in extreme misery as she shouted, “I want to tear up that shameless couple!” 
Samson kept persuading Bethany as he forcibly led her down the stairs. 
Edward held back his disgust and looked up at the window. 
Next, he went over there, pulled back the curtains, and looked out 
There was nothing out there. 
His gaze turned terribly cold. 
Evangeline had a video call with them. The call was taken from the position of the window looking in. 
This was the third floor. How on earth did she climb out of the window to take a picture! 
Evangeline had left, so he could not catch her. He could only deal with his family’s affairs first and think about the other issues later, 
Ten minutes later, they were in the living room. 
Apart from Jasper who had been hospitalized, all members of the Gallagher family had arrived. 
Bethany was still shedding tears. She was crying miserably as if the world had fallen apart. 
When she saw Meghan and George walking downstairs together, she immediately got nervous again. 
She picked up the ashtray on the table and threw it at Meghan. 
“You bastard! I gave you a home, and yet you dared to destroy my family in turn? I must have been blind to have neglected my own daughter and defended you to no end, you ungrateful bitch!” 
Bethany stared at Meghan with bloodshot eyes, desperately hoping to tear her apart. 
“Abr 
Meghan turned pale with fright and hid behind George in fear. 
The ashtray did not hit her. Instead, it broke into pieces as it hit the floor. 
Meghan bit her lips and said aggrievedly, ‘Mom, I never intended to destroy this family. I’m here to become a part of it…” 
“Ah!” Bethany screamed fanatically. “Isn’t it enough for you to be the daughter of the Gallagher family? Why would you do something like this? Can you face me? Do you have any morals! You’re bastards! Even animals would not commit such an unscrupulous act. You’re worse than animals!” 
She racked her brains in search of vicious vocabulary to berate Meghan. 
She 
got even angrier when Meghan lowered her head, looking aggrieved, 
In the past, when Meghan and Evangeline had a conflict, Meghan liked to put on this expression. Bethany used to feel sorry for Meghan when she saw that face.

Chapter 35 
However, it was Meghan’s turn to use this face against Bethany. The latter felt that she was about to explode with anger. 
Why had she not been aware that this bastard was such a good actor? 
Meghan was the one who had seduced others and committed despicable deeds. How could she feel that she had been wronged 
“Haven’t you had enough! If you want to make a scene, get out. Don’t be such an eyesore!” George yelled in displeasure. 
Heartbroken, Bethany turned to George with tears in her eyes. “How can you say that? You did that sort of thing, and yer you called me a shrew! Even if I am a shrew, I’m better than you two shameless bastards!” 
Meghan bit her lips. “Mom” 
“Shut up! Don’t call me mom. I don’t have a shameless daughter like your Bethany squealed 
Meghan wiped her tears aggrievedly. “Mom, since you don’t like me, I’ll leave this family. As long as you can calm down, I will do anything. 
With that said, she was about to leave. 
George took her hand and pulled her back. 
“I’m the head of this family, I have the final say. It doesn’t matter if she likes you or not. You don’t have to bother about her. As long as I allow you ra stay, you can always remain here!” 
Meghan bit her lips and stood innocently behind George. 
Filled with sorrow and anger, Bethany cried some more, “George, you are not human. If you won’t let her go, do you want me to leave?” 
George replied in a deep voice. “It depends on what you choose! If you can’t stand Meghan and choose to pick on her, then you may leave on you own. I won’t let Meghan go. If you can think things through, then our family can uill live in harmony like how we always have.” 
Bethany’s eyes widened in disbelief. She stared at George as if he was a stranger. 
“What did you say! You want her to stay? And live in harmony with us?” she blurted. 
“How can the family be in harmony when things have come to this point? she pondered. 
George said, sounding upset, “Meghan has nothing to say. She is willing to endure this. What are you dissatisfied with? As long as you don’t make trouble, you are still the enviable lady of the Gallagher family!! 
Bethany was so angry that she was on the verge of vomiting blood. 
Short of words, she did not know how to refute the shameless man, 
George continued, “You don’t have to be so mad. Look at the rich. How many of them don’t have other women outside! You’re lucky I haven’t been looking for other women. I just have Meghan now. You watched Meghan grow up. You know her well, and she respects you. She won’t take anything away from you. Can’t you be a bit more generous?” 
Bethany’s face turned livid with anger. She felt a tightness in her chest, making her difficult to breathe. 

he. 

“If she really respects me, she wouldn’t have done it with you!” 
George frowned in displeasure. Tve explained to you as kindly as I can, yet you fail to understand and insist on being unreasonable. You really disappoint met 
“Anyway, I’m telling you. Meghan won’t be leaving the Gallagher residence. Either you accept her and stay here, or you leave on your own if you 
Bethany broke down and screamed, “What evil have I done! I’ve raised a creature worse than an animal! I’ve neglected my own daughter to care for her, but now she has come to take my husband! Sure enough, an apple does not fall far from the tree. She is as shameless as her mother, the homekeeper. I can’t believe I was coaxed by you to treat that criminal kindly! The criminal who stole my own daughter! George, have you long known that Meghan wasn’t our biological daughter, and so you’ve decided to get intimate with her? So, after Evangeline came home, you’ve been protecting Meghan. You even want me to neglect Evangeline, so as not to upset Meghan. Is that right?” 
At first, she also wanted to Incal 
Evangeline well. 
However, after Bethany treated Evangeline better and returned to her room at night, George would berate her. He would say that Bethany’s doing would make Meghan sad. He also blamed Evangeline for all kinds of things.

As time went by, 
y, she found Evangeline increasingly unpleasant. 
Bethany came to believe that Evangeline was scheming in everything she did. 
Bethany wailed uncontrollably when she thought of how her attitude toward Evangeline had changed for the sake of Meghan 
She sobbed as she said, “Because of Meghan, my own daughter regards me as an enemy, and yet Meghan repays me like this! She not only wants to harm my son but also takes my husband from me… This is God’s retribution for me! George, you’ve done worse than I did. Your end will be much more brutall And Meghan, you ungrateful, wicked bitch! You’ll suffer a miserable end tool Wretches like you be damned 
Bethany’s eyes were filled with 
anger a 
and hatred 
Like a madwoman, she suddenly rose to her feet and cackled as she shed tears. 
“I’m going to expose this shameless couple. I’m going to make you the public enemy, shunned by all!”
