Chapter 210 - Don't Pretend
"Yes, what are you doing visiting me ?!" Lisa asked harshly to her father. The middle-aged man who looked disheveled and pitiful was immediately shocked after hearing what his biological daughter had just said.
"Lisa! Is that how you talk to your real father!?" Gatot exclaimed, looking a little annoyed. The man narrowed his eyes.
"Don\'t bother asking, my father has been dead for a long time!" Lisa replied in her loud voice. The woman pointed at the figure of a thin middle-aged man in front of her. "You two, Karina and Gatot, I don\'t accept you here. Please come out immediately! I don\'t need sympathy from fakers like you!"
Hearing Lisa\'s words, which sounded firm and couldn\'t be bent, Gatot and Karina became even more worried. It seemed like Lisa would file a lawsuit to Karina because she didn\'t want to forgive her. Gatot then pulled Karina\'s shoulder and said in a low voice, "Karina! This is your chance! You must immediately apologize to your step sister so that you will be forgiven and not sued!"
Karina swallowed hard. Apologizing to her half-sister whom she hated the most was tantamount to embarrassing herself. Karina preferred to be stripped naked in public rather than apologizing to her half-sister. However, this was all for her own future. If she didn\'t want to spend her future in prison then Karina had to apologize right away.
Karina then approached Lisa closer. She lowered her head and then knelt beside Lisa\'s bed. With a pleading expression, Karina hooked her hands and said, "Lisa, I\'m sorry, I knew I hurt you but I\'ve never meant it. I know I was wrong at the time, so forgive me, my dear sister Lisa..."
Hearing the insincere apology from Karina made Lisa\'s disgust grow even greater. Karina\'s apology just now sounded like a joke to her ears, as if the woman in that tacky outfit had practiced tricking her into sympathizing with her. Lisa clicked her tongue, not allowing herself to fall into Karina\'s trickery.
"Sorry, I don\'t accept an insincere apology as the one you just said!" Lisa exclaimed loud and firm. Then she looked away from Karina\'s face.
Hearing Lisa\'s arrogant reply made Karina\'s emotions flare up. Her trickery didn\'t work! The woman in the tacky dress then clenched her fists while holding back embarrassment.
"You...! What do you want! I\'ve already apologized to you and you casually rejected my apologies as if you were my boss?" Karina snapped, her anger was out of control. Karina\'s right hand was lifted into the air, preparing to slap Lisa\'s face. However, Oscar caught it since he was ready to protect Lisa in case a fight broke out.
The man gripped Karina\'s wrist tightly. The woman immediately glanced back at Oscar\'s displeased face. Oscar stared at her with a sharp, angry gaze. Karina\'s heart immediately started beating so fast as she swallowed hard.
Oscar lowered his head so that it was parallel to Karina\'s face. The man brought his face close to Karina\'s and said, "You think an apology and a package of bad fruit can solve Lisa\'s current problem? You think this will erase what you did to Lisa in her office that made her temporarily blind? You have to pay all the loss and suffering Lisa had endured! I will not let you escape, Karina! You have to go to jail and pay for everything you had done to Lisa!"
The sentence was very piercing and sounded terrifying. Oscar\'s intonation sounded mercilessly cold, leaving Karina petrified on the spot. Karina could feel herself almost peeing on the spot when the golden haired man spoke. Her legs began to feel weak, eager to fall flat on the cold floor.
Behind Oscar, Gatot, who began to look anxious, approached him and patted his shoulder. "Mr. Oscar is sorry but don\'t hurt my daughter Karina, she has done her best to correct the wrong she did to Lisa."
Oscar turned around, staring at the middle-aged man\'s cute and pitiful face. "Don\'t you know that your stepdaughter has hurt Lisa so that she has temporary blind vision!? Don\'t you think what your stepdaughter did is a crime that should be brought into justice?" His deep voice sounded cold and terrifying. Gatot got goosebumps and trembled at that.
"It can\'t be like that, Mr. Oscar. The problem is we don\'t have any extra money so all we can do is apologize. Please, Karina has also done what she can, and I, as Lisa\'s biological father, know how I feel when my biological child is hurt like today," Gatot explained, his words were empty and full of lies.
"If you really love Lisa, why are you willing to leave her and her family just for the sake of a rich woman? As far as I know, Lisa only has one sister and she is still in college. And her name is Bella, not Karina," Oscar replied sarcastically and piercingly.
Hearing Oscar\'s words just now made Gatot lose face in front of Karina and Lisa. He was so embarrassed that he didn\'t know what to do. He had to cover his flushed face and endure immense embarrassment.
"Mr. Oscar, stop that bullshit! You didn\'t know about my family in the past so don\'t accuse me of being an irresponsible father! Whatever the reason, I\'m still Lisa\'s real father!" Gatot replied, trying to change the conversation.
"You don\'t have to talk too much, Gatot! You love your stepdaughter more than your own child, so don\'t bother to visit and return to your place immediately. I don\'t need forgiveness from Karina and you, Gatot!" Lisa said, breaking the tension.
"Lisa! I\'ve tried my best to apologize to you. Do you realize that I was also injured at that time because you cornernered me first! You should also apologize to me, but I\'m the only one who apologized to you, Lis!" Karina exclaimed, not wanting to lose. Her voice was slightly more shrill than usual.
"Karina," Oscar called as he pushed her shoulder against the wall. "Listen to me, if Lisa\'s eyes are permanently blind in the future… I want you to cover all the medical expenses. This is all your doing, you made her temporarily blind!"
Hearing Oscar\'s sentence just now made Karina dumbfounded. She did not believe Oscar\'s words at all. The woman shook Oscar\'s hand that pushed her against the wall and then yelled at Lisa, "Lisa you bastard! You think I\'ll fall into your cheap trick!? Don\'t pretend to be blind!"
Lisa ignored Karina\'s words, and instead, she turned her face to show her indifference to her former half-sister.
