Chapter 188 Your Mother Deserted You
Elisa’s lips twitched into a smile upon hearing that. She knew very well that Linda was quite resilient. If it weren’t for the incident the day before that completely ruined her plans, she would not be so irate to destroy her perfect reputation all this while.
Smiling, Elisa replied, “I never wanted to be with Gareth again, but it’s a different matter for you. It seems like Gareth doesn’t care much about you either. Even if you sleep in his bed for another year, he will only ever feel pity for you. Using gratitude to bind him into the marriage, is your situation any different from mine in the past?”
“Of course it’s different!” Linda retaliated sarcastically without a second thought. “You are not me, after all, and I would never use gratitude to control him. The fact that he doesn’t like you doesn’t affect him liking me. Just you wait, Elisa.”
Elisa nodded with a smile. “In that case, I send my best wishes to you. I also hope that you can get out of this awkward situation so that others won’t think of you as a clown. Otherwise, even I will feel sorry for you.”
“You–”
She still has the nerves to bring it up! If it weren’t for her, my life wouldn’t be so miserable now! Even if no one told me directly, I know that I’m being tragically mocked behind their backs! And this is all because of Elisa! Linda took a deep breath. If I don’t get my revenge back at her, I won’t rest! The better her life is, the more resentful I’ll become!
In the next second, she suddenly smiled before approaching Elisa. “Do you think you’ve won, Elisa?” she asked in a voice so low that any recorder was unable to pick it up.
Elisa frowned before looking back at her.
Linda curled her lips into a sneer and continued, “Do you know what is the main failure of your life?”
Elisa’s silence encouraged her to continue her spiteful remarks triumphantly. “You are destined to be despised by others, be it your husband or your family! You will never get any recognition from others.” The more she elaborated, the happier she became. Once again, she said in a low voice, “Because you’re a daughter, you are useless to your mother. She dumped you and your father! Do you think she really died in childbirth?”
Elisa froze and looked at her instinctively. “What do you mean by this?”
“Your dad accidentally told my dad about this after he got drunk. He even forbade my dad to tell it to others.”
Elisa’s eyes widened in surprise. I don’t think Linda is making that up. When I was young, Dad seldom brought up any stories about Mom, and I even saw the thick disappointment in his eyes when she was mentioned. Yet, he had never said anything negative about her; he only diverted the topic whenever she was mentioned. Back then, I thought he was sad each time she was brought up. In retrospect, are Linda’s claims valid?
“Your mother is the daughter of a prestigious family, and she needed a son to take back the family fortunes. However, three years after her marriage to your father, she gave birth to you. Two years later, she did not get pregnant again and deserted both of you. Elisa, I guess you finally know how detestable your existence is right now.”
Elisa was utterly shocked by this piece of news. Because she trusted her father, she had never given it a thought. I actually have a Mom, and she deserted me? But if such was her character, why would Dad have married her?
