Spencer replied confidently, "What are you talking about? Yes, I'm very busy and don't have time to spend with her, but I work hard for her. She is my only daughter, and all my assets will be hers. When she gets married, I'll give her the most luxurious dowry in the world. I want her to be proud of having a father like me."
Spencer's words struck a nerve. I couldn't help but yell, "Spencer, stop pretending. If you really cared about Dora, you wouldn't have left her alone on the road for Gloria. She was only six years old. Did you ever think about how helpless she felt?"
"Why are you so annoying? You keep arguing with me over such a trivial matter. You're never going to stop, are you?"
Spencer finally lost his patience and yelled at me.
After saying this, he angrily kicked the urn next to the pile of dirt.
Bang!
The powerful kick made the urn roll several times on the ground, scattering the ashes everywhere.
Seeing this, my mind exploded, and I was completely stunned.
Last time, when I saw Dora hit by a truck, I was heartbroken. Now, seeing her ashes destroyed by her father, I felt an even deeper pain.
I hated it so much!
As if on cue, a gust of wind blew, scattering the ashes further.
"No, don't!"
I struggled to break free from the bodyguards, reaching out to grab the floating ashes.
But how could hands hold the ashes?
They disappeared, just like Dora.
The last tangible thing of Dora was gone.
Overwhelmed by guilt and pain, I felt like I was being shattering.
I lay on the ground, trying to gather the remaining ashes from the soil.
Tears of despair streamed down my face.
Gloria stepped forward, crushing the ashes under her foot, and taunted, "Linsey, it's just a pile of stranger's ashes. Why are you putting on such a sad show? If you want to stop Danny from being buried, you don't need these tricks!"
"Get away from me!" I shouted, standing up suddenly and pushing Gloria away.
She staggered and fell to the ground.
Spencer instantly turned furious. Without a word, he walked up to me and slapped me hard across the face.
It was the first time he had ever hit me.
But I didn't feel any pain on my face—my heart hurt far more.
"You left Dora at home alone only to bully Gloria out of ridiculous jealousy. You disappoint me so much. How did Dora end up with such a petty mother like you?" Spencer was furious.
