Chapter 1024
“Mom, if I get to be your daughter again in the next life, I promise I’ll take care of you. I’ll be the best daughter you ever have,” Esme said to her mother lovingly.
Hearing this, Beth shook her head and said, “No, I was not a good mother to you. If I get to be your mother again in the next life, I’ll be less strict with you… I’ll shower you with more love.”
Wiping her tears away, Esme asked, “Mom, is there anything you want me to do for you?”
Pausing for a few seconds, Beth said, “I want to see your father.”
“Alright, I’ll bring him over tomorrow.”
“Your father had a son with another woman out there.” Beth said coldly, “That woman. brought that b*stard of his to see him a few days ago.”
“Mom, what exactly do you want me to do?”
Esme asked with a tinge of fear creeping on her mind. She feared that her mother would ask her to murder that homewrecker and b*stard.
Holding her daughter’s hand, Beth said, “You have the resources to change how you look. So, you must also have the means to make that b*stard not your father’s son, am I right?”
Esme was stunned hearing this.
“I’ve been loyal to him all my life. Yet, he had a mistress behind my back. On top of that, she even gave birth to a b*stard for him! So, what’s the best way to make him pay? To have him be disappointed in that wench and… to have him end that wretched boy that he brought to this world himself!”
Esme felt a chill down on her spine hearing her mother’s words. She could not bring herself to do that to her father… He was her birth father after all!
“Esme, your father never loved you! When you got into trouble back then, he gave up on you just to save his brother! Because of that, you’d endured so much pain! Have you forgotten about that?!”
Now, Beth could only think about making that woman pay miserably. It was true that women should stand together in this patriarchal society. However, when it came to love and money, they would devour one another raw.
Beth gripped Esme’s hand and said, “I have only one wish. Just this one! You’re mommy’s good girl. I’d do anything for you, even if it means dying for you. So, of course you’ll also do anything to help me too, right?”
Esme said hesitantly, “But… but that’s my father…”
“Do you still need him? I am the one who has been sticking my neck out for you! Can you please pity me just this once?” The hatred in Beth’s eyes was like an invisible blade pointing at Esme’s forehead, threatening her to do as she wished.
Esme’s heart sank as she stared at Beth. So, this was her mother’s love. Heh, all she ever thought about was using her. Esme felt like a fool for feeling sad for her earlier.
In contrast, Echo, her aunt, was always good to Fia. All she ever did her whole life was shower her cousin with unconditional love!
Why?! Why was the love she received never as genuine as the one Fia got?!
“Esme, I know you’re a good girl. You’ll help me, right?” Beth said, “Help me deal with that b* stard boy first. Then, I’ll help you deal with Fia!” 11
After a short moment of silence, Esme gave a bitter smile and said, “Okay.”
Frankly, she didn’t really have a choice. Besides, the homewrecker who slept with her father behind her mother’s back needed to be punished. That b*stard boy should have never been allowed to be born! And it was not that hard to do it. All she needed to do was find someone to alter the data on the DNA archive of that b*stard son.
As for what her father would do to that homewrecker and her son… Well, that was none of her business.
Meanwhile, Fia had awoken after napping for half an hour. She sat up on the bed and looked around. Due to the closed curtain, the room was as dark as night. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
She took out Sophia’s phone and sent out a message.
When she walked out of Beth’s private ward, Esme noticed that there was a message on her phone. It was an anonymous message, probably sent by Fia. She deleted it after reading it.
She had made up her mind. She needed to settle this issue as soon as she could.
That evening, Hank received mail at the door. His face turned grim after opening checking its content.
“Hank, what’s wrong?”
A woman, one who was younger and prettier than Beth, walked toward him. Her name was Louise Lawrence. She was once a pub singer. The pub she worked at was the place she and Hank met.
After meeting a few times, the two got on with one another and, just like that, she became Hank’s mistress.
Louise had a tragic, pitiable history and Hank, though ten years older than her, was willing to spend money on her. So, to live a good life, she tried really hard to conceive a child for him.
Because of that, Hank treated her really well. He had always wanted a son. He and Beth had only one child and that was Esme. After giving birth to Esme, Beth’s next conception was an ectopic pregnancy. After going through with surgery to deal with pregnancy complications, Beth could not give birth anymore.
So, after learning that Louise had given birth to his son, Hank doted on her even more
