Chapter 2758
Regina furrowed her brow, a hint of defiance in her voice. “If a silly piece of gossip is enough to cast doubts on
my character, then maybe | shouldn't be marrying that man at
all.
Besides, it’s the 21st century; everyone has a past to sextent. Only a complete
dinosaur would fret over whether someone’s been in a relationship before. Dad, don’t tellyou're that kind of
dinosaur?”
“Where on earth are you taking this? Is having an ex the sas being defiled by svagrant? I'm telling you,
you better clean up this mess quick, or you can kiss your journalism career goodbye!”
“Dad!”
With a decisive wave of his hand, Francis had made up his mind.

He had been too lenient with her, and now she seemed to take her own reputation too lightly. Regina could enjoy
her freedom, but it all hinged on not jeopardizing her future prospects.
Francis looked at his daughter, now tall enough to reach his chin, and all he could think about was her future.
She was too young to understand that he was planning for her. Maybe with a few more years, she'd understand
the tough love.
Regina could barely contain her frustration. “Dad, you're meddling with my life! You promiseda year to prove
myself in journalism, and if | succeeded, you'd letbe. But now, before the year is up, you're intervening?
How is this fair?
“When | agreed, | didn’t know you'd wind up creating this kind of headline! You've barely written a handful of
stories, and now you're the scandal on the front page. Does that look good to you?
Aren't you even a little concerned about the Tanner family’s reputation? Regina Tanner reduced to this-what
would the shareholders think? And what about the people who've invested in Tanner Group stocks?”
“At the end of the day, it’s not aboutyou care for, but your company. If it weren't for the stock prices taking a
hit, would you even care about that homeless guy pinningdown? I've been hfor a while now, and not
once have you asked how | got away night or what happened afterward... Dad, you really are the best, aren't
you?” Regina choked back tears.

Regina knew she shouldn't care so much, but inside, she couldn't help but feel aggrieved.

have...”

“I must have what? Since | got home, not once have you askedanything. | get it. After Mém passed, it was
only a matter of tbefore you would need someone; you'd get lonely.
But never did | imagine that in forgetting Mom, you'd also forget your own daughter. Sometimes, | really wonder
if I'm even your daughter at all.”
“Preposterous!” Francis slammed his palm on the coffee table. “When have | ever forgotten your mother? | have
never forgotten her.”
Regina couldn't help but scoff at the sentiment. If he hadn't forgotten her mother, how could he share his bed
with another woman?
Or is it that men are just naturally gifted at saying one thing while their hearts wander elsewhere?
“I've spoiled you too much.”
Turning her face away, Regina wiped her tears. “Let’s just leave it at that. I'll handle this mess, and | won't let it
affect the Tanner Group stocks.”
