She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment

Chapter 140: Leaving No Means Untried

Hillary held the few pages of evidence.

The first page was about her conflict with Tanya in the kindergarten. The photo clearly showed that she had provoked Tanya first. The humiliated Tanya had then counterattacked.

The second page was photos of her speaking with the lobby manager in Club Prism’s lobby. Her facial expression in the photo was exceptionally smug.

Hillary balled up her fists. She wanted to say something, but before she could, Joel said unhurriedly, “There are surveillance cameras in both the kindergarten and the club. If you continue to deny it, I can ask for the video footage for you. Ms. Jones, allow me to remind you that surveillance camera footage comes with audio nowadays.”

Hillary’s retort instantly got stuck in her throat..

She stared at Joel in shock. A moment later, she finally hung her head dejectedly and said, “It’s my fault this time, Joel… I only did that because I panicked when I saw that Tanya was back. I was afraid that she would take you away from me… Joel, she told me that she’s back this time so that she can take revenge on me and take everything from me.”

Hillary, whose head was lowered, started to cry. She said, “As you know, Tanya has been fighting with me over everything ever since we were kids. I had no other choice. I just wanted her to leave. I just wanted to protect everything that’s mine!”

She looked at Joel again and said, “There’s Mia, too. Of all the kindergartens around, why did she go to that one? It’s definitely because she knows that Mia is our daughter, so she especially went there for her. Joel, she must be planning to start her revenge with Mia. I don’t know how she did it, but she’s already bribed Mia. It’s only been a day, but Mia’s already asking for her…”

She stared at Joel and went on. “There’s no way someone like Tanya would be content. Back then, for the sake of dancing, she abandoned you. Even though she won the championship, her life abroad all these years must not have been that great either, right? That’s why she wanted to come back. She must be thinking of pestering you…”

‘For the sake of dancing, she abandoned you…’

The words stabbed brutally into Joel’s heart like a knife.

He lowered his eyes and let out a cold chuckle.

Perhaps that woman would give up glory and wealth for the sake of dancing, but there was no way he would ever believe that she would pester him for the sake of glory and wealth…

No matter how people might change, the pride embedded in one’s bones would never change.

Besides… She had gone to that kindergarten for her son. Now that she had Justin Hunt, there was no need for her to pester him anymore.
