Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 757

"Mom! You…” Ava panicked.

She held her throbbing cheek. Panic, resentment, rage, guilt, and all sorts of complicated emotions rushed up to her.

"Don't call me mom!" Hannah panted harshly. "Do you still see me as your mother? I… How did I raise a shameless thing like you!?"

"Mom, don't listen to their nonsense. Uncle Chuck and I are just—"

"Don't the photos say enough!?" Hannah was hysterical. "That man groped your waist! And y-you let him? Are you trying to make me mad!?"

Ava froze, unable to say anything.

Actually, Hannah had long noticed the scandal between her daughter and lover.

She rarely took Ava to meet Chuck, but Chuck's lecherous eyes would stay on Ava each time they met. She was hurt and angry, but more of it was jealousy.

She was jealous of her own daughter, jealous that she had the youth which she had lost, jealous of her face that could enchant men.

She was old now and could no longer win over Chuck's heart, no matter how hard she tried. Other than bringing him more benefits, she had no other ways.

Hannah had hinted to Ava plenty of times for her to stay away from Chuck, but she did not expect the two of them to do this behind her and for Cordelia and Zephyr to catch them red-handed!

Hannah suddenly understood it. Zephyr had not exposed Chuck's identity in front of Franklin just now because he already had everything within his control.

Other than being intimidating, Janine and Zephyr were best at manipulating others' weaknesses and then playing with them like cat and mouse—until the mouse died!

Hannah's legs felt limp, and she nearly fell to the floor.

Ava merely looked at her coldly and did not help her.

Hannah looked up as if seeing her end from her daughter's eyes that were gleaming viciously.
