A Night with Her Cruel Mate

"That's impossible..." Jean stared at Mandy, her body turning cold. She didn't expect that Julia was the one that Terence wanted to marry in the first place.

"Jean, it's true." Mandy forced a smile. "During that time, your father's business heavily depended on Terence's investments. That was why Aron agreed to correct the mistakes. He intended to talk to you about it the very same night. But as you know, Julia and Terence slept together that night. Afterwards, you went out of the country and Terence married Julia."

Sighing, Mandy frowned and stared at her daughter. "To be honest, Terence is really strange. He fell in love with Julia three years ago. But after getting married, he became so cold to her. I really don't know what was on his mind."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" After learning the truth, Jean felt like an idiot. She was kept in the dark for such a long time.

"I didn't think that there was nothing much to say or do." Many plastered on a sad smile. "The next morning, I discovered that you were no longer interested in Terence. I think it might be better for Julia to feel as if she owes you something. Perhaps she may even be able to help us in the future."

With a deep breath, she continued, "Let's not dwell on it anymore."

Jean was proud and arrogant; she would have definitely felt uncomfortable if she knew about this before.

"So why are you only telling me this now?" Jean asked as her eyes narrowed at Mandy.

With a concerned look, Mandy replied, "I'm just worried about you. You were living a good life abroad, but you came back to fight against Julia for a man. I'm just afraid that you will hit a wall and hurt yourself."

Although Mandy was worried about her, the things that she said made Jean feel like she was just slapped in the face. She was hurt.

Jean's face suddenly contorted into a frown.
