"Grandma, you can’t say that. If your real granddaughter heard you, she’d probably think I’ve cast some kind of spell on you," Chloe Reed said, pretending to be serious.
Then, she smiled again. "Grandma, when she comes back, we can be like sisters. You have to learn to be fair to both of us. It won’t do if you’re too nice to her. I’ll get jealous, you know."
She said it jokingly, but she was actually trying to stop the old woman from having any wild ideas.
Since it wasn’t yet certain if Vera Holloway was the old woman’s biological granddaughter, she naturally wouldn’t touch those things.
If Vera Holloway really was her granddaughter, then everything would depend on her attitude toward the old woman.
If she was a dutiful granddaughter, Chloe Reed would consider sparing her life.
But if she treated the old woman poorly, Chloe wouldn’t hold back!
For now, Chloe Reed just hoped that Vera Holloway wasn’t the old woman’s biological granddaughter. That way, she wouldn’t have to face a dilemma in the future.
She rested her head directly on the old woman’s lap, and a warm, dry hand began to gently stroke her long hair.
The old woman sighed. "You silly child."
’So what if she took it all?’
’I’m giving it to her willingly. She can do whatever she wants with it.’
’But this silly child just had to choose to do it this way.’
’How could that not break my heart?’
’Her parents showed favoritism, and then she found out they weren’t even her real parents. Her husband also did many things to hurt her.’
’She’s become all alone in the world.’
’She was supposed to have a happy life.’
’But now, she has nothing.’
The old woman’s heart ached with a bitter sorrow, and she wished only to give this silly child the very best of everything.
