The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1794

Marlinie really didn’t want to discuss anything about that man. It was only for her daughter’s sake that she had returned to this city, which she once vowed never to step foot in again. This place stirred up many memories she preferred to forget..

Lea carried a glass of water over, hoping to distract Marlinie from her troubles. “Ms. Marlinie, would you like some water?”

Marlinie shook her head. “No, thank you. Lea. There is something I need to ask of you.”

Lea put the water down. Her large, earnest eyes were now solely focused on the woman in bed. “Anything for you, ma’am!”

“I didn’t want to bother your father due to the tension between your parents, but I have no other choice now. Could you ask your father to get his men to bring Arnold from the Mendoza family to see me? I hope it’s not too much trouble.”

Lea nodded. “Oh, that’s no trouble at all! I’m planning to settle scores with that mother-daughter duo anyway. It’s no bother to have their man brought along too.”

Marlinie wanted to tell Lea not to seek revenge on her behalf, but considering the mother-daughter duo had once bullied her dear Pearl, they deserved some punishment, so she kept silent.
