She Killed My Ex novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140 Self-esteem and Self-confidence 

Hearing Caroline's words, those present began to speak in whispers. 

"You're talking a load of crap! He is my father. When did I insult him?" Raymond fulminated against Caroline. 

"Didn't you? You know what grandpa minded most was Living Hope Foundation when he was alive, but you sold it to others! 

"You're humiliating grandpa!" 

"Raymond, you care for nothing but money! Grandpa had high hopes for Living Hope Foundation! You sold it at such a low price! You said that grandpa would be pleased if he knew. Aren't you insulting his intelligence, his moral character and his ability? Am I wrong?" 

Caroline scolded Raymond from the bottom of her heart, mixing with many complicated feelings! 

The man she called father was so disappointing! 

"How dare you talk to me like that!" 

"What should I do with Living Hope Foundation is none of your business! You are an outsider!" 

Raymond glared at Caroline in an uncontrollable rage. "If your grandfather were alive, he would be angry with you! Don't forget you used to be a prisoner!" 

Caroline trembled all over. In such an occasion, Raymond hinted everyone she was no longer the member of the Jameson family, and she was a murderer, a prisoner who came out of prison! 

It was generally known that domestic shame should not be made public. However, Raymond already said that she was an "outsider"! 

Caroline clenched her fists. Could she refute him? How could she refute him? What position could she take? 

With a feeling of tiredness hitting her, she closed her eyes and opened them. The light that had just dimmed in her eyes lit up slightly again. She forced herself to raise her spirits. 

"Mr. Jameson, if grandpa were still alive, he would protect me with all his might, because he trusted me from beginning to end!" 

Tears glimmered in Caroline's eyes. Now, all people's attention was on the farce. No one noticed that Caroline, one of the protagonists of the incident, was getting pale. 

Nathan had been standing aside, but he came over at the moment. "Stop it." He walked up to Caroline, standing six feet away from her. His handsome face was covered with anger. 

"Pack it in. Do you want the Jameson family to become a laughingstock in Lehcaster again?" 

"Grandpa spoiled you. He took you with him and taught you personally. Although he was wise all his life, he didn't judge you correctly. He always said that you are the most brilliant one in our generation, but he did nothing wrong except to trust you." 

"I guess grandpa had never thought that you would make so many mistakes. If he knew what you did, he wouldn't trust you and protect you." 

"Callie, don't always think that someone will protect you. You got what you deserved. It is nobody's fault but your own." 

Caroline was trembling with anger. After Nathan finished speaking, she calmed down, raising her head and quietly looking at the handsome man in front of her for a while. Suddenly, she chuckled. 

"In other words, once Living Hope Foundation goes bankrupt, I should marry for the Jameson family obediently and get a dowry. I will get nothing." 

"Mr. Jameson, what right do you have to resent me and accuse me of taking everything from you?" 

"Grandpa gave you everything he had fixed up, but what he gave me should be run by myself!" 

"Why don't you need to do anything, and you can get the painstaking efforts of several generations? I worked so hard and stayed up late at night for 'Living Hope Foundation'. Why does my last painstaking effort have to be auctioned here, in this place where I have lived for more than 20 years?" 

Caroline didn't disclose the secret until today. 

All the people present were dumbfounded. 

Everyone witnessed her grandfather's doting on her. He took her to see the princess of a certain country, but didn't take his grandson. Everyone thought he was partial to Caroline. 

However, from what Caroline said today, they knew Caroline's grandfather really cosseted her, so Caroline was brought up by him carefully. Even if he liked her, he didn't want to give the Jameson Group to Caroline. 

Those young masters from rich families were also stunned by Caroline's words. 

Bentley stared straight at the woman with a pair of deep eyes. She had lost her delicate and charming appearance, graceful figure and pride, but she was shining at the moment. 

After hearing her words, Bentley could hear the beating of his own heart. He thoroughly knew a person from the bottom of his heart for the first time in his life! 

Today he deeply understood her pride and arrogance, her upright backbone and her confident expression did not come from the doting of her grandfather, the asset of Living Hope Foundation or her own ability, but from the self-esteem and self-confidence imprinted on her soul that penetrated into her bones!
