A Night with Her Cruel Mate novel Chapter 26

"What do you know?" Jean sneered. "Did you think that just by moving in, I already won? You know, Terence is still thinking about Julia. I have to make sure that bitch doesn't mess up my plans. Only then can I win."

"But..." Mandy frowned, about to say something before Jean interrupted her.

"Well, if you don't want to help me, you can just leave," Afraid of upsetting Jean, Mandy hastily appealed, "Don't be upset. Let me help you, okay?"

"That's more like it." Jean smirked, satisfied with her mother's decision.

"By the way..." Mandy stole a glance at Sherry, standing far away from them. "You live here now. Are you already used to it?"

"It's not too bad." Jean shook the swing and shrugged. "Staying here is just part of my plan. Once I confirm my relationship with Terence, I won't live here anymore."

Jean looked around the well-decorated house. Its interior and exterior design was so beautiful. But Julia lived here before. That was why Jean didn't want to stay here for long.

"Then be careful." Mandy wore a worried look on her face. "Whenever I used to come over, the maid was always polite to me. Now she seems a little less enthusiastic. I am afraid that she might not like you."

"Are you referring to Sherry?" Jean said contemptuously. "She's been hostile to me ever since I moved in."

"Then you..." Mandy started, worried about Jean. "How about I move in with you? That way, if you need help, then I can be there for you."

Jean hesitated for a moment, thinking about what Mandy was suggesting. For a long time, she wanted to teach Sherry a lesson. But she had to swallow her pride and pretend to be polite to the maid.

If Mandy came here, then she would be able to help Jean. But Jean had to confirm her relationship with Terence first.

She turned to look at Mandy and said, "I think we need to talk about it later on. If you lived in here now, it would affect the relationship between me and Terence."

"Alright then." Mandy's shoulders slumped in disappointment. She wanted to live with Jean, but it seems that her daughter had other plans in mind.

Seeing Mandy's reaction, Jean offered, "How about I rent an apartment nearby? That way, if you have time, you can come visit me every day. You just can't live here for the time being, okay?"

"Okay, okay, I get it." Mandy smiled, satisfied with the offer. All she wanted was to be closer to Jean.

Before leaving, Mandy gently reminded her daughter, "Jean, please be careful with what you're planning to do."

"I know." Jean frowned impatiently and rolled her eyes. "You don't need to worry about me. Just focus on doing what I told you to do. I'll only be satisfied once you have finished your task."

"Don't worry. I won't let you wait for too long," Mandy said with determination.

Alone and bored in the villa, Jean decided to go out for a walk. She didn't have anyone to keep her company since all the maids didn't seem to like her.
