“So, you all hate me because of my mother? You think my mother caused your mother’s death, so you transferred all that hatred onto me?”
“The reason we dislike you is because you’re just like your mother,” Jennifer said. “Cynthia, you’ve been greedy ever since you were young. You want everything, no matter if it belongs to you in the first place or not. When you can’t get it by your own ability, you use despicable means.
“You were jealous when Dad bought me an expensive and beautiful dress, so you secretly ruined it. You’re selfish and unreasonable, treating the servants like slaves. You do as you please just because you’re the second young lady of the Zellers, and then you pretend to be innocent afterward. Dad let it go because you’re the second young lady of the Zellers after all, but we’ve seen everything you’ve done.
“Over the years, with so many things happening, we know very well what kind of person you are. But you still manage to surprise us. Mrs. Tate took care of me ever since I was young, but you pushed her down the stairs because she said I was the only heir to the Zellers.”
“It wasn’t me! She fell by herself! It has nothing to do with me!” Cynthia hurriedly denied.
“Five million,” Jennifer said. “We gave her family five million to settle the matter. So Cynthia, don’t say the Zellers owes you anything, and don’t act so innocent. You know whether you did it or not. We have already been very lenient with you.”
Cynthia’s face turned red with anger.
“Do you think that because you’re marrying Theodore, we will treat you differently? Do you think we’ll bow and scrape, and greet you with smiles?”
Jennifer smirked, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her beautiful eyes.
She said flatly, “Indeed, you’re impressive, Mrs. Spencer. I don’t know what methods you used, but please understand that you don’t decide the Zellers‘ future.
“If you think the Zellers will go to Theodore Spencer to get business deals using your name, you’re mistaken. We rely on strength, not connections. Even if Dad wanted to, I wouldn’t agree. I’m the heir of the Zellers, and I make all the decisions. If Theodore cooperates with us because of you, that’s a bonus, but if not, it’s no big deal. The Zellers have done well even without SK Enterprise.”
Cynthia clenched her clothes and stared at Jennifer with widened eyes. “Aren’t you worried that I’ll tell Theo what happened to me in the Zellers?”
“What happened to you in the Zellers? Were you abused, or did you starve?” Jennifer countered. “Of course, you can exaggerate. I’m curious to see what he’ll do. Will he bankrupt the Zellers just to make you happy, like in dramas? Cynthia, it’s a beautiful fantasy, but reality is cruel.”
Cynthia looked at Jennifer, her eyes flashing with complex and fierce emotions. Soon, her raging anger turned into calm. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Cynthia smirked.
“Jen, you’re right. Reality is cruel. I’ll remember that. But no matter what, marrying Theo is a joyful thing for me. I married him for love, and I haven’t thought about or dared to think about anything else. I came home because I’m getting married to him tomorrow, and I hope my family will be present. Otherwise, I’d

be alone and it would be quite pitiful.”
“We’ll be there,” Jennifer said. “Our whole family will go. We’ll do the necessary for our reputation, but again, don’t be too greedy. You should learn how to be moderate.”
Jennifer stood up. “You gave us too short of a notice, so it’s a bit rushed, but I’ll try my best to arrange your wedding properly. Just focus on being a bride.”
Jennifer turned and left the room.
Cynthia grabbed the bedside lamp and threw it at the wall. Her eyes blazing with fury, she snarled, “Just wait and see!”
It was about time to change the heir of the Zellers!
