The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Faced with her daughter's heart-wrenching question, Shannon felt her heart tremble in excruciating pain.

Shannon hated Justin, but she had to admit that he really treated Carrie well, even better than herself, as Carrie's mother.

Now that Shannon thought about it, Justin did not seem so hateful anymore.

But what could she do? There could only be one Mrs. Salvador. Mary was an enemy Gregory chose for her.

After a moment of silence, Shannon slowly said, "At that time... I was already pregnant with your sister. I want a name for myself... I want to fight for a better life for my children and a better future..."

"You got it afterward. Dad accepted you, and you reached your goal. But why did you still kill Justin's mother?!

"Justin never hated me or gave me the cold shoulder because I am your daughter! Annie, too... They saw me as their sister, giving me care and concern I'd never experienced before... They gave me all of that! They are my benefactors... How could you be so cruel?!"

Carrie was not a fool. She knew how selfish her mother was, and she understood her mother's negligence toward her.

She even felt inferior in her heart, blaming herself.

She hated that she was not as healthy as her sister and that she was not a boy. If so, perhaps Grandpa would accept her mother, and her mother would not have to walk on eggshells at home. Her mother would not have to spend all her focus trying to stabilize her status, living a life of constant pretense and scheming.

But never in her dreams would she think that her mother would kill someone for her selfish gains.

"If my luxurious life was bought with someone else's blood, I'd rather have never been born into this world... I'd rather give up being the fourth daughter of the Salvador family!" Carrie's eyes reddened and her fingers clenched tightly as she trembled violently in Ryan's arms.

"Darling... Don't get so worked up. Calm down..."
