Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 494

Chapter 494 

The room erupted into chaos as soon as the words left Jade’s mouth. 

Shelia scoffed, “Ridiculous! Why on earth would I take your ring?” 

Jade’s eyes blazed with a hatred so intense it was almost palpable “You used my ring to bribe the warden and secure your early release from prison. 

Shelia’s stint in prison had been a scandal that rocked high society. Now, with the sordid details being dredged up, the room buzzed with whispered speculation. 

Shelia remained unruffled. “Since you’re so eager to cast aspersions, perhaps you’d like to explain how you ended up in prison in the first place.” 

Jade faltered, her cheeks flushing a guilty shade of crimson. 

1 got your 1 

Shelia pressed, turning to the captivated audience. “She was 

arrested for prostitution.” 

The crowd recoiled with revulsion. 

Shelia enjoyed their reaction, turning back to Jade with a look of triumph. “You were jailed for selling your body, and when the other inmates made your life a living hell, I protected you. And how did you repay my kindness? By spinning this ridiculous lie about my stealing your ring. You’re just a pathetic gold digger, desperate to claw your way into the Blair family and escape your sordid past. I’ve seen your type a thousand times before.” 

The room was silent, the air thick with suspicion as all eyes turned to Jade. She stood there, exposed and humiliated. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. 

Edgar broke the silence. “Why are you so harsh?” 

Shelia laughed, “I’m only speaking the truth, Edgar. You can’t just bring in some streetwalker to replace me because you couldn’t have me. It’s unseemly.” 

Her implication was clear. Edgar was trying to pass off a fake as the real deal out of spite. It might really be the case. 

Jade pleaded her case. “Dad, I really am your daughter. If you don’t believe me, we can do a pate 

test.” 

“That won’t be necessary. I know who my daughter is,” Declan said brusquely.

Jade staggered back. “Dad…” 

“My daughter is Shella. She is my flesh and blood. You’re nothing but a crook,” Declan snapped, glancing at Edgar. “If anyone tries to drive a wedge between us, I will not stand for it.” 

Edgar was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Declan to staunchly defend Shelia even in the face of the truth.
