Natalie smiled and declined. “I’m sorry, madam, but we have nothing to talk about. Our bond is broken. Let’s go our separate ways.”
She had already said what needed to be said and done what needed to be done.
Because Wendy had given birth to her, after severing ties, she had told her the truth about Nathan’s affair and that Joanna was his biological daughter.
She had repaid the debt of her birth.
Wendy knew her daughter would never forgive her, but she desperately wanted to thank her. “About Nathan,” she said in a low voice, “thank you for telling me.”
Natalie shook her head. “Don’t thank me. I should be thanking you for giving birth to me. The reason I told you the truth was to repay you for carrying me for nine months.”
Wendy began to weep softly. So that was it.
If it hadn’t been for that sense of obligation, she would have remained in the dark.
She would have only learned the truth after her company was devoured by Joanna and her four sons were dead.
Natalie watched her cry without feeling much of anything. Their love had been exhausted in her past life.
Wendy suddenly blocked Natalie’s path. “Natalie, are you really unwilling to forgive me? I know I was wrong now.”
Natalie let out a cold laugh, looking at her tear-streaked face. They shared at least a fifty percent resemblance; she had inherited Wendy’s almond-shaped eyes, which were her most beautiful feature. “But can anyone be generous enough to forgive a mother who was once willing to kill them?”
“Madam, you have already killed me once. I have repaid my debt to you. You will never be forgiven.”
“Please remember that, and don’t disturb my life again.”
No forgiveness meant no forgiveness.
Joanna was talented, sweet-tongued, and knew how to please her.
Natalie, on the other hand, was always seen as bullying Joanna, and she had naturally taken Joanna’s side.
Natalie sneered. “Do you understand now? A parent’s favoritism is like a poisonous snake. Your favoritism allowed Joanna to hurt me again and again, because she always knew you would unconditionally defend her and blame me.”
“When you raise a snake in your home, what do you expect but to be bitten?”
The words were a knife to the heart.
Wendy staggered backward, nearly collapsing.
Sebastian, who had quickly approached, caught her just in time.
