Chapter 1640: Do you want to wash your hands of it now?

Aria Rowlett's voice was surprisingly calm, yet colder and more indifferent than ever: "I heard every word you said. And I'm telling you right now, I'm not going back to that so-called family."

"What did you say?" Mrs. Rowlett sounded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her voice exploding, "Say that again, what did you mean just now?"

"What do you mean 'you're not coming back,' you're leaving your family?"

Aria sneered, her eyes full of mockery: "When you made your choice, you never considered me as your daughter, did you? In your eyes, only Issac is your child. As for me..."

"I'm just disposable."

"Since I'm dispensable in your hearts, what's the point of me returning to that so-called family?"

"The only thing I should be grateful for now is that you gave me to Gage instead of some other man. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened by now."

Mrs. Rowlett seemed unprepared for these words.
