Though they had the idea of fawning over Jessica a little earlier, all they received were frigid glares from her. They were so intimidated by Jessica that in the end, none of them could even say a word to her, let alone please her!
Bea had shot to stardom in just a single day.
“So it turns out that Dylan had such great influence and power! What a surprise!” said Lady Yaleman sadly after hearing a summarization of what had happened from Gerald.
It was now night time and including Lady Yaleman herself, a few others were standing inside her bedroom.
“The grudges of old have no reason to continue existing, grandma… It’s time to let go of them and have our families reunite!” said Gerald.
“Are they though? I was so cruel to Yulia that year… I even made Bea’s father suffer so terribly! Since Yulia’s so close to her fifth brother, she definitely still hates me… Who wouldn’t hate a mother like me!” wailed Lady Yaleman as she cried vehemently.
“That simply isn’t the case! In fact, mom has missed you this entire time! While you probably weren’t aware of it, mom’s tried to visit you on numerous occasions! Though she never made it past the front gates, I’m sure that’ll change in the following year!” added Jessica.
Hearing that, Lady Yaleman raised her head, feeling tremendously moved. She was now filled with deep remorse as she recalled how her younger self had held on to those stubborn old-fashioned principles.
If it wasn’t for her, her family would’ve continued living in peace… Now that was a nice thought…
What more, if none of that had happened, then the Long family wouldn’t have ever found a reason to bring trouble to her family in the first place!
“That’s not all, grandma. My aunt’s always been thinking about my dad! She’s even found several doctors for him! As if that wasn’t enough, she was the one who had sponsored me so that I could complete my studies!” said Bea next.
“She… She sponsored your studies as well…?” replied Lady Yaleman as she began crying even louder.
That’s right… Bea was also a young lady of the Yaleman family… Yet she was placed in such a difficult position that she wasn’t even capable of completing her studies without the aid of her daughter… To think that she was left unaware of all this…
In the end, even wild beasts looked after their offspring.
Reminiscing her life, Lady Yaleman realized how much time she had spent on pursuing wealth and fame. As a result, she had completely neglected the importance of familial affection.
“I… I’m so sorry… To Yulia and your father… To Bea… And to you and your sister as well…” said Lady Yaleman with a heavy sigh as she looked at both Gerald and Jessica.
“You mothercker! So even you’re looking down on me now, huh?! Well that’s just great! Just absolutely fantastic! Just pour me my god dmned wine already!” roared the gloomy-looking Yura as the manageress—who was now cupping her swollen cheek—ran off to get more wine.
