"I'm paranoid..."
Suddenly, Connie became ferocious.
She slammed the table, stood up, leaned forward, and shouted as hard as she could, "Your mother's the one who's really sick and paranoid. Mary's a completely selfish bitch."
"They all thought that Mary's the most beautiful woman in that era, the queen of the piano in the music industry, and she's extraordinary... She, that bitch, was never good. She was just pretending!"
Connie looked at Christina's face, and memories of her past welled up, then she became even crazier. "Your mother slept with a stranger in the bar and got pregnant. Then the man left her, but she married Donald with you in her belly. After giving birth to you, she still refused to settle down and waited all day long for that man to come back to her..."
"She didn't love Donald at all. She just took advantage of him. How dare her, a liar, push me downstairs to make me miscarry? That was the real blood of the Dickens family!"
"Do you know how cruel your mother is? Not only could she attack me but she also fed you sleeping pills."
Connie's voice became shrill. "When you were a baby, she fed you sleeping pills because she thought you were crying all the time. It was annoying and noisy. And it was useless to give birth to you because that man never showed up again..."
She smiled slightly, with a hint of mockery. "Christina, it must be that no one has told you that your mother was like this!"
Christina was shocked.
Connie looked at her like a snake staring at its prey, waiting to see how Christina would fall into the pain and hatred step by step.
"When the Dickens family knew about it, they kept an eye on her for a while, but how could a bitch like her stop so easily? When you grew up, about three years old, she began to feed you sleeping pills every now and then..."
Her voice was low, and the more she spoke, the more hurried she became. In the end, Connie could not suppress her excitement.
"Didn't you often have nightmares when you were young, saying that there was someone by your bed in the middle of the night? It was your own mother. She squatted at the head of your bed and thought of you as that man talking to herself."
"After Donald found out, how could he take all of these? Every one said that Mary was far out of his league since he was poor. And he had to see you, a bastard, every day. How could he take all of these?"
"Donald has been very strict with you since you were a child. He has always tried to persuade himself to treat you as his own daughter, but your mother made him very upset. He couldn't hate your mother, so he always had mixed feelings towards you. You've been calling him dad since you were a child, but in fact, he didn't want you to exist at all."
Christina's body stiffened.
"Christina, you should hate your mother. It was she who brought you to this world. It was she who led you to be schemed and resented by so many people since you were born."
Connie shouted out in frustration. She was so desperate that she looked like a loser, who was unwilling to give up.
After all she had said, Christina still remained calm.
"My father treated me very well."
It was as if all the resentment and unwillingness that Connie had accumulated had been wiped away.
She felt a sense of despair and the sneer at the corner of her lips turned into self-deprecation.
"Why, why would I meet an opponent like you?" She seemed to be muttering to herself. Her tone gradually calmed down, but she still seemed confused.
Connie looked out at the free world. She understood that although she had fought so hard for so long, she had made the wrong choice from the very beginning.
Mary left gracefully because the daughter of her enemy didn't care about her at all.
There's no need to fight.
