Chapter 197
“Okay.” I nodded thoughtfully, smiling as I asked a cruel question, “What if she tries to take something from you?”
This question caught Lauren off guard, but Jessica was nervous as a thief.
Her face turned pale, trying to cover her panic, and she snapped, “Charlotte, what are you doing? Now you not only want to snatch Ryan away, but also want to drive a wedge between me and my mom?”
“Mom, let’s go!” said Jessica, grabbing Lauren and trying to leave, afraid that I might say something I shouldn’t.
Lauren refused to move, shielding Jessica behind her and standing tall, her eyes full of disdain and scom.
“Jessica is right. Don’t try to break up our mother–daughter relationship. I know you grew up without parents. Although John and I are remarried, he loves Jessica just as much as I do. Jessica has always had a harmonious and loving family since she was a child. Ultimately, as an orphan like you, you must envy Jessica, right?”
“Yeah, you’re right.” I nodded without denying it and said meaningfully, “My father–in–law indeed loves Jessica very much.”
As I spoke, I looked calmly at Jessica, smiling slightly. “Isn’t that right?”
Her eyes
eyes widened, her hands trembling by her sides. She clutched Lauren’s arm and mumbled, “Mom, I haven’t had lunch yet, I think my blood sugar is low. Let’s not waste time here with her, let’s go.”
“Alright.” Lauren, hearing Jessica’s discomfort, didn’t argue with me anymore, but warned angrily, “Ms. Wilson, I advise you to get a divorce as soon as possible and stop delaying Ryan and Jessica’s marriage! Otherwise, her father and I won’t let you off so easily!”
It was truly terrifying.
As they turned to leave, just when Jessica breathed a sigh of relief, I called out casually, “Wait.”
Impatiently, Lauren turned back. “Do you have anything else to say? Didn’t you hear my daughter say hungry?”
“Does your husband always love your daughter so much?”
I calmly opened the trending topics, found the screenshot from before the video was blocked, and handed it to her to see as I sighed. “It’s really interesting!”
One was her husband, whom she had killed to get, and the other was her own daughter.
With just one glance, she recognized them both.
she’s
In her eyes, madness emerged. As she reached out to grab my phone, I quickly withdrew my hand, stepped back, and smiled as a reminder. “It’s at the top of the trending searches. Take a look for yourself.”
I didn’t want her to smash my phone to pieces.
Jessica stood on the other side, unable to see the screen on my phone clearly. She watched as Lauren anxiously fumbled for her phone and suddenly glared at me, gritting her teeth. “Charlotte, what did you show my mom?”
