Ex-Husband’s Regret: Barren Mommy Has Quadruplets

After Gail entered, she put on that gentle and sensible demeanor again. She approached Jenny and showed her concern.

“Jenny, I haven’t seen you in a while, you’ve lost quite some weight. Have you not been resting well lately?”

Seeing Gail’s appearance, Jenny seemed to have found someone to confide in. Suppressing her anger, she said, “Being watched every day, learning various social etiquette. It’s like being a prisoner, How can I not lose weight?”

Gail listened and a touch of sadness appeared on her face. Her tone showed a hint of sympathy.

“It seems like you and I are the same, enduring each day in such agony…”

She deliberately lowered her voice, making it sound like she was feeling wronged.

Seeing her like this, Jenny couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

Gail shook her head and smiled. She pretended to have a look of not wanting to bring up those bothersome matters. She replied, “Jenny, you already have enough headaches here. I won’t bother you with those troubles.”

The more she acted this way, the more curious Jenny became. After a moment’s thought, she roughly guessed what was going on.

She said coldly, “Just tell me honestly, did Alta do something outrageous again?”

Gail contemplated for a moment. She nodded and told Jenny about recent events at the company.

Naturally, her words were embellished with exaggeration.

As she continued, Gail’s eyes welled up with tears, looking particularly wronged. She said, “Now, everyone thinks that Alta is about to become the young mistress of the Hills. Not. only does Jason treat her differently, but even Donovan protects her. Otto and Nina are so obedient to her…”

“What a joke!”

Jenny was furious. She slammed the table and said, “How can Alta have the audacity to claim my two precious. grandchildren! What qualifications does she have to be the young mistress of the Hills? This is simply outrageous…”

Gail quietly observed Jenny’s emotions, feigning a sad expression. She replied, “Jenny, it’s all because of my incompetence. I couldn’t win Jason’s favor, nor could I win the children’s affection. I’m afraid I will disappoint your expectations all these years…”

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face. Her acting skills were excellent.

Jenny was completely deceived by her. Seeing her crying so sorrowfully, Jenny hurriedly comforted her, “Don’t cry, it’s not your fault. It’s just that Alta is too cunning. I underestimate her!”

Towards the end of her words, she was grinding her teeth in anger.
