The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife

Chapter 287 Past And Pain

After scrutinizing and eyeing Elvis, Ziana turned to Mr. and Mrs. Menter and asked calmly, “Are the two of you using this information to threaten me? What is your agenda?”

To Ziana, the Menter family would never reveal her daughter’s information to her this easily.

They must have had an ulterior motive.

The excited looks on Mr. and Mrs. Menter’s faces suddenly froze.

“No, we do not have any. We just came to see you,” Mrs. Menter quickly replied.

Ziana looked at the couple and noticed they had aged quite a bit. Yet, all she could think of was their cruel and ruthless faces from over two decades ago when they took her child away.

She was in a deep slump at that time after receiving the terrible news of her husband’s death. When she finally snapped out of it, her child had already been taken away from her and had disappeared without a trace.

The pain she experienced that night was so excruciating that she wondered if anyone else could understand. And her parents’ cold, cruel gaze and brutal ways had made her thoroughly understand that she had nothing left.

It had been many years, but the pain did not fade away with the passage of time. Instead, that experience had left her heartbroken and traumatized.

Ziana’s eyes were devoid of warmth. She replied guardedly, “You have seen me now, so just say whatever you came to say.”

She subconsciously moved to stand in front of Isabella. To Ziana, since these people had the gall to hurt her daughter, they now might even have ill intentions towards her beloved mentee.

Ziana’s actions were out of instinct. It did not occur to her that, in reality, members of the Menter family could not harm Isabella, given her identity.

However, seeing her instinctively defensive movement, Mr. Menter and his wife felt a sharp ache in their hearts.

They realized that, to Ziana, they were no longer her parents but enemies.

Enemies who would intentionally hurt the people she cared about!

“We’re not…” Mrs. Menter’s voice choked as she tried to explain.

It’s human nature that as people grow old, they would tend to reflect on the past and realize their past mistakes. Then they would begin to regret, using familial ties as an excuse to make amends.

However, to Ziana, some damages were just irreparable.

Being hurt by a family member was even more soul-crushing.
