A Night with Her Cruel Mate novel Chapter 66

Mandy haughtily crossed her arms over her chest and sneered at Terence. "I am telling you the truth. They were kind to Jean at first, but they suddenly changed after Julia visited. When they were younger, Julia always bullied Jean. That's why I am very protective over Jean. Although you were engaged to Jean, Julia was the one who married you. I can't stand to see Jean get hurt anymore. That was why I decided to hold the press conference."

"You mean to say they changed their attitudes after Julia came?" Terence silently frowned. He knew that Julia maintained a good relationship with Sherry and the other maids. They always listened to whatever she instructed them to do. Everything suddenly made sense to him.

Terence pursed his lips and looked at Jean. "Is it true?"

Jean just stared at him without saying anything. Terence bit his cheek, an anxious expression on his face. "Please don't be afraid to speak. Is it true?"

She broke eye contact with him and hesitated for a while. After taking a deep breath, she sighed, "I recall that it started after she visited."

"When did Julia come over?" Terence grimaced and thought, 'Julia is always following me around like a ghost. We've signed the divorce agreement, yet she still shamelessly comes here to make trouble.

She should be grateful that Jean is a kind person. She never spoke ill of her sister and even helped her a lot.'

People like Julia do not deserve sympathy at all.

"I think... it was after the press conference." Jean bowed her head and recalled the memory of when it happened.

Mandy nodded and commented, "Yes, it was at that time."

She looked at Terence and continued, "Don't get me wrong, Julia is also my daughter. I shouldn't have spoken ill about her like that. But she has never behaved, and now she's caused so much trouble for Jean. I would really like to thank you for helping my younger daughter, but I want her to move out. I can't just watch Jean continually get hurt."

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?" Jean gazed at her mother in disbelief. "What does this have to do with Terence?"

"You are right, Mrs. Gu. I'll look into this matter." Terence said with a frown. "If it's true, then I certainly can't just let this go."

"Why do we still need to investigate?" Mandy arched her eyebrow. "The facts are already in front of us."

"Mom..." Jean gestured for Mandy to stop talking. "If Terence wants to investigate, just let him do so."

Stealthily, Jean winked at Mandy, to make her understand what she was doing. Seeing that this was all just for a show, Mandy turned to Terence. "Since you want to investigate, I saw Julia arrive here after the press conference. Before she left, she had a long conversation with Sherry in the garden. Ever since then, the servants were rude towards Jean. She even lost her watch. Even though it wasn't that expensive, it was sentimental for her because it was a gift from her father."

"You mean... one of the servants stole your watch?" Terence scoffed, he couldn't believe what Mandy was saying.
