Cora grabbed Mrs. Gwylanâs hand and said, âMom, Iâm still your little sweetheart.â
Mrs. Gwylan pulled her hand away and said, âCora, you let me calm down first. You have become so unfamiliar that even I feel scared.â
Cora struggled to get up from the bed, and Mrs. Gwylan screamed, âDonât move!â
Cora froze in fright. Her eyes were red in an instant, and she said at a loss, âMom, whatâs wrong?â
Mrs. Gwylan irritably stripped her hair, completely missing the dignity of a noblewoman.
âCora, donât say anything now. Mom is very confused. Seeing you become like this for a man, I feel sadder than anyone else. The daughter I cherish has become so scheming. Seriously, I donât know whether to be happy or sad. If possible, I really want to slap you hard and shake you awake. You are the heir of the Fletcher Group. I felt so heartbroken that you have condescended to such a level for a man.â
Coraâs tears were like broken raindrops, flowing incessantly.
âMom, I didnât. I just...â
âDonât talk first. You make Mom feel very unfamiliar. Since childhood, I have given you the best. Your food, clothing, schools, and teachers are all excellent. You also live up to my expectations and become the best. But in a place where I canât see, you have learned to calculate people, which makes me feel scared. To get what you want, you even calculate your family. Occasionally, Iâm actually very disappointed. I donât know what went wrong in my teaching to make you like this.â
âMom, donât say that.â
Mrs. Gwylanâs voice became very shrill with passion.
âCora, Mom loves you. You are my only daughter. I donât want you to lose your heart for a man. I want you to be a strong and independent woman. I didnât let you be full of scheming, and I didnât let you even calculate your mother.â
Cora grabbed Mrs. Gwylanâs hand and said anxiously, âMom, donât say that. I will never dare to do this again, really. I just love Zach too much. I donât want to lose him.â
Mrs. Gwylanâs chest heaved with passion.
At this time, there was a noise from the door lock. But both of them were agitated, so they did not hear the sound of the door being opened.
Zachariah walked in from the outside, but before he got closer, Mrs. Gwylanâs voice came, âCora, I was pregnant before you were born. No one can match my love for you. I have been teaching you wholeheartedly, but I didnât expect that you would become like this today. You asked me to get rid of the child in Opheliaâs belly. I actually feel a little cold about it. The child I raised has become so... I would rather these words came out of my mouth.â
Cora was in tears, but said maliciously, âMom, Zach is mine, and Ophelia is just my stand-in. Now Iâm back, so she should quit wisely. As for the child, I donât think Zach will want him. Iâm just making the decision for him. Am I wrong?â
Mrs. Gwylan took a deep breath and said earnestly, âCora, why donât you understand? Mom doesnât want you to become a woman who can only calculate others. You are an excellent woman. Mom never thought that one day you would become a terrible person.â
Cora roared with passion, âMom, Iâve had enough of pretending to be a kind woman in front of a man. In private, Iâm just being myself. Whatâs wrong with that?â
Mrs. Gwylan sighed and said, âCora, you have to understand my pains. To secure the position of the hostess of the Fletcher family, I once also paid a great price. In the end, I enjoyed honor and distinction, but I could never become the most important person in your fatherâs heart. I donât want you to end up not being yourself for a man.â
Cora lowered her head and said, âMom, I donât care. I only need the man I love to stay by my side. Does it matter whether his heart is there or not?â
Mrs. Gwylan looked at her in surprise, her eyes flashing with incredulity.
âCora, why do you have this idea?â
âMom, I donât think I was wrong. Since I love him, whatâs wrong with getting him by any means? It doesnât matter whether he loves me or not. What I want is for him to stay by my side and grow old with me. Who wonât say that I am the winner?â Cora said firmly.
Mrs. Gwylan was shocked.
âMom, donât blame your daughter for being cruel. All I want is for Zachariah to stay by my side obediently. As long as he doesnât want to go back to Ophelia, I wonât get rid of the child in her belly.â
Mrs. Gwylan only felt that the whole body was cold.
She found that her daughter was even crueler than her. She didnât know whether to be sad or happy.
Cora grabbed Mrs. Gwylanâs hand and said, âMom, Iâm your only daughter. No matter what decision I make, you will be on my side, right?â

The Vixen's Man ï¤15 Mrs. Gwylan sighed deeply and said, âCora, Iâve loved you since you were a kid. Iâve given you the best I could. I hold up a sky for you because I donât want you to see the bad side. But I didnât expect you...â
Cora said, âMom, I donât think there is anything wrong with me. I just do whatever it takes to get what I like. As long as he is happy, I will be fine. I canât do this. Since I like him, why should I hypocritically let him go?â
Mrs. Gwylan fell into silence.
