Chapter 532

Lindsey bit her lip, a hint of self-derision in her smile.

“I should choose a partner of equal standing? But what kind of family background do I have? Dad’s cutting ties with me.

And you.

Didn’t you abandon me a long time ago?”

Her words struck a painful chord in Juanita, and the mood in the room instantly turned cold.

Juanita’s fists clenched as she said, “Linds, I never abandoned you.

Remember when I asked if you wanted to leave with me? You chose to stay with your father.

Do you remember what you said back then?”

Lindsey hung her head, her lips pressed tightly together.

She remembered the harsh words she had said to her mother—

“I won’t go with you.

You left Dad because he had nothing.

Your love for money is all I see.

How can you love me? I refuse to be Like you! Pretend you never had a daughter like me, and I’ll do the same about having a mother like you!”

As she grew older, Lindsey came to understand her mother’s background.

Her mother came from a wealthy and prestigious family, while her father was once a man of modest means.

He improved his life through his relationship with her mother and later established his own business.

Once her father had achieved something, he found he could no longer tolerate her mother’s controlling nature.

He also grew weary of people labeling him a man who once Lived off his wife.

This led him to adamantly seek a divorce from her mother.

Thinking of this, Lindsey felt pain in the heart.

She struggled to catch her breath.

“Despite all that, I never held it against you.

” Juanita’s eyes brimmed with tears.

Juanita was a strong woman, she hadn’t allowed herself to cry for many years.

But today, after being apart from her daughter for so long, their reunion brought back a flood of emotions, stirring her deeply.

“I tried reaching out to you in the first few years after I left.

But how did you respond? You would hang up the phone as soon as you heard my voice.

Then, you stopped answering my calls after that.

Eventually, I lost all contact with you.

I’ve been searching for you all these years.

It wasn’t until I saw you in the trending news that I realized you’ve grown into an independent woman!”

Lindsey curled her fingers tightly.

She couldn’t bear to look up at her mother, whose heart she had wounded with her words.

She fought hard to keep her tears at bay, not wanting her mother to see her vulnerability.

“Linds, I will always be your mother.

I just hope that everything I’ve done leads to your happiness.

”

Juanita moved to sit beside Lindsey, taking her hand with a sincere expression.

“There’s something important I need to discuss with you, beyond just our reunion.

It’s about your marriage.

Actually, there’s been an arranged engagement since you were young.

”

Her revelation caused a collective gasp among those present.

Lindsey looked up abruptly, her eyes, clouded with tears, filled with astonishment.

“What do you mean?”

“Before you were even born, I had already chosen a person for you to marry.

The divorce from your father and our lost contact delayed this for so long.

Before I went abroad, I left a property in your name, which you’d inherit upon engagement.
