A Night with Her Cruel Mate

Julia smiled bitterly. "So in your heart, you think I'm that type of person, right?"

She was desperate.

Mandy looked at Julia with an unchanging expression. "Stop this nonsense. You better prepare the money as soon as possible."

"Mom, I..." Julia stumbled, wanting to protest back. But she was cut off. "Enough! You can leave now. Just prepare the money as soon as you get back."

At that very moment, Julia knew that her mother would no longer change her mind.

She had been taking care of her for the last three years. But Julia didn't expect that Mandy still favored Jean more.

In a bitter tone, Julia asked, "You've already made up your mind, haven't you?"

"Of course." Mandy nodded her head. "Jean is not as lucky as you are. You married Terence and lived a comfortable life. Jean has only me. If I don't help her, who will?"

"Well, now that I know that. I have nothing left to say." Julia took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Putting on a brave smile, she replied, "I will only give you the money if you agree to one condition."

"What is it?" Mandy arched an eyebrow in curiosity.

"If you take the money, I will break all relations with you. It seems that ever since the beginning, you've only treated Jean as your daughter. Now that she is back, you won't be needing me anymore." Julia didn't know why she said that. Maybe it was because her heart was hurting.

She also wanted to know what else Mandy was willing to do for Jean.

If Mandy agreed, then Julia would pretend that she never had a mother.
