Chapter 1282: Chapter 1282: What Have You Done?_1 Chapter 1282 -1282: What Have You Done?_1 “Nothing is entitled,” Adrian Zhekova said indifferently, “including love.
There is no such thing as obligatory love.
This content is taken from fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm.
You have to give to receive.
You can’t just reap without sowing.
Even if you initially accept passively, if you accept without giving anything back, after a while, the other party will stop giving too.”
“No matter who you are or when it is, this is an immutable fact.
You didn’t give her the love she deserved, where do you get off demanding that she give back to you without asking for anything in return, even repay your ill deeds with kindness?
Even if she was hurt, she continues to love you.
...
Even if she was manipulated, she continues to repay you.
On this earth, I challenge you to find someone else like that.
If you can do that, I might just call you my father-in-law and mother-in-law for the rest of my life.”
“How dare you demand that Cindy Clarke do something that no one in this world can do?” Adrian Zhekova said coldly.
“Just because she didn’t help you when you needed it, just because she didn’t invite you to her wedding, you hold a grudge against her, harbor resentment, and frame her.
But have you ever considered, with all that you’ve done since her birth, why wouldn’t she hold a grudge against you, resent you?”
“With the power she holds now, to be honest, it would be so easy for her to reduce you to nothing and remove you from her sight.
But she hasn’t, and has never asked me to do anything to you.”
“No matter what harm you’ve caused her, even though it’s etched in her memory, she has never sought revenge.
That in itself shows how kind she truly is.
I cannot find another person like her.”
“You don’t even know how to repent,” Adrian Zhekova spat coldly, “It is clear, even her ‘not-so-bad’ father isn’t really all that good.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t let Christy Xenos and Wendy Clarke cause a scene on such an important day.”
Before Adrian Zhekova finished speaking, Christy Xenos screamed, “I am her mother!
I gave birth to her, I raised her.
Without me, there would be no her!
There would be no Cindy Clarke in this world.
None of her achievements today would exist!”
“I gave her a life, even if she has to pay back with her own, she ought to!” Christy Xenos shouted loudly.
“Precisely because of this, nothing I ask of her is too much!
No matter how I treat her, it is justified!
I gave her a life, does she dare to hold a grudge against me?
Does she want to take revenge on me?
If she does, she has no conscience!
Look at the enormous effort I gave by giving her life and raising her, she could never repay it all!”
Adrian Zhekova immediately twisted his head, saying, “Put a sock in her mouth.”
Following his command, someone came over and directly taped Christy Xenos’ mouth shut.
“Mmm, mmm!” Christy Xenos was frantic.
She had so much more to say.
But with her mouth sealed, it seriously hindered her ability to express herself.
Adrian Zhekova didn’t bother with Christy Xenos, he spoke to Joshua Clarke, “If you really want to ask Cindy why she didn’t invite you, and if you’re truly upset, why the need to ask at the wedding?
Have you ever considered that by asking these questions at her wedding, you would leave a stain on this supposedly perfect event, one that she could never forget in this lifetime?”
“You’re only thinking about satisfying yourself, getting the answers you want, confronting Cindy.
You’re only thinking about how aggrieved you feel, how she shouldn’t have treated you this way or that.
Have you ever spent a minute considering her feelings?
Have you ever thought about what impact your actions might have on her important wedding day?”
Joshua Clarke lowered his head slowly as Adrian’s words rendered him speechless.
“You didn’t even consider why Cindy chose to go to her godparents instead of coming to see you.”
Seeing Joshua Clarke’s confusion, Adrian Zhekova sneered, “You didn’t know that she has godparents, did you?”
“During her hardest five years in Belfard, her godparents were there, taking care of Morgan Zhekova.
While you two were slandering her, accusing her of being heartless, she was receiving care from others.
Affection and sibling love she couldn’t get from her biological parents, she acquired from others.”
“Relationships have nothing to do with blood ties,” Adrian Zhekova stated, “Her godparents treated her well, so she treats them well in return.
She treats them as family, as her own folks, so she got married from their house.”
“She chose to walk down the aisle by herself instead of letting her godfather walk her down,” Adrian Zhekova continued, “because she was considering your feelings.
But to let you escort her down the aisle!”
Adrian Zhekova sneered coldly, “You’re not worthy.”
“So, she walked by herself, reflecting her journey from birth to now.
She did it all by herself,” Adrian Zhekova stated.
“You two,” Adrian Zhekova looked at Christy Xenos again, “besides giving her life, what else have you done for her?”
“Nothing, yet you expect so much?” Adrian Zhekova sneered.
“Don’t say that because you gave her life and because of you, she exists now,” Adrian Zhekova said coldly, “Such sophistries are useless in my book.”
“What did you do when Christy Xenos and Wendy Clarke bullied Cindy?” Adrian Zhekova asked Joshua Clarke, “Even though you knew full well what Christy Xenos and Wendy Clarke did, what did you do?
You went along with them anyway, for their sake you asked Cindy to do all kinds of things.”
“What did you do for her when Cindy was so helpless as a child?” Adrian Zhekova accused him, “And now you want to exercise your paternal rights?”
“I, I did a lot, I did as much as I could!” Joshua Clarke stammered in his defense.
“What did you do?
When Christy Xenos re-served all the good food to Wendy, and left only the unwanted leftovers for Cindy, you remained silent.
This was what you did.
You occupied a portion of Cindy’s after-school and holiday time by taking her to the restaurant’s kitchen under the pretense of teaching her how to cook.
But, actually, you just had her work there.”
“While Wendy was out having fun with friends, spending the spare change you gave her, Cindy was working at the restaurant earning money for you.
Part of what Wendy spent came from the money Cindy earned while Cindy got nothing in return.
You thought that by letting Cindy stay in the kitchen, you were protecting her.”
“But is it protection when one daughter is out having fun and the other is confined to manual labor in a kitchen for a bit of peace?
Is it protection?”
“When Cindy had a high enough score to attend one of the top three universities, Christy Xenos abruptly changed her university choice, binding Cindy here locally.
What did you do for her then?”
“When Christy Xenos and Wendy kept pushing Cindy to the limit, all you did was stay silent.
Then behind her, you spoke sweet words to Cindy.
But apart from a few superficial comforting words, what else did you do?”
