Tanya stared at Hillary.

Never would she have ever expected that the woman, who had merely bullied and humiliated her a little five years ago, would actually go as far as to steal her child!

She had only been slightly under twenty years old at that time.

Hillary resembled Jill a lot, but she and Tanya didn’t really look alike. Her temper and personality were also similar to Jill’s. This must be one of the reasons why Jill had preferred Hillary and disliked Tanya ever since they were kids, right?

With that in mind, Tanya sneered, “We won’t know until we reach the end.”

Hillary’s eyes flickered.

At this moment, Jill, who had entered a moment later than Hillary, spotted the two of them. She immediately charged over, stretched out her arm, and slapped Tanya across her cheek. “You little bitch! Who told you you could come back to the States? It’s all your fault that things have come to this point!”

Tanya took a step back.

She was no longer the little girl from the past who couldn’t fight back.

She sneered, “We’re at the court, Mrs. Jones. Please show some respect, or else I will sue you!”

Jill was furious. “Who are you calling Mrs. Jones? I am your mother!”

Tanya gave her a mocking smile. “Really? But didn’t you already tell me a long time ago that you’ve severed ties with me?”

She took out her cell phone and played an audio recording. It was from five years ago when she was pregnant overseas. It was hard for her to find a job at that time, so she had bitten the bullet and approached Jill to ask for a bit of money for living expenses.

Jill’s voice was very calm in the recording.

“$3,000? What are you thinking? I can buy a handbag with that money! Besides, you are already an adult, so I am not obligated to pay for your tuition fees. Think of a solution yourself! Didn’t you work part-time during college for your tuition fees? Didn’t you say that you will never use even a cent of my money when you were a kid? Heh…

now on, I will take it that I have never had a daughter like you, while you have never had me as a mother. I
