Chapter 408

“You don’t love me, but I don’t blame you for that. I kept assuming that time would help you get over it,

and that you would fall in love with me someday.

“I didn’t mind the cold treatment you gave me. I thought that you would love the child because we were

a family. So, I wanted to take good care of her and see her grow up.

“But when I saw her slowly lose her vitality, I resented you to the bone for being heartless. How could

you be that cruel? You’d rather give that bitch all of your love instead of giving a smidgen of it to us. So,

I swore that I was going to make you regret it for the rest of your life.”

Her eyes turned ferocious as she continued, “Later, I found out that Chloe was pregnant. I lost my child,

so how could she have a family and a child that loved her? Which was why I set everything up. I stole

her baby right after she gave birth.”

Chris muttered, “That baby was… Marina!”

“That’s right. Don’t you love that bitch so much?” Helen’s face was contorted with madness. “But I

overestimated you. Marina was younger than our child, yet you didn’t catch on. Still, I think that it

makes sense to some degree too. Why would you care about my baby?

“So, I treated Marina well and let her know that the person you loved was someone else. Resentment

is a seed. Once it takes root in your heart, it’ll only grow.

“I took care of her round the clock and manipulated her thoughts. I watched her grow up harboring

resentment against you and Chloe. After that, I staged my death. As I expected, you got married to

Chloe not long after my death.”

Chris’ face turned crimson. “I thought you were dead. I …”

He couldn’t find an excuse because he really owed Helen.

“You didn’t return home for three years during our marriage. But after you got married to her, you gave

up on your business and gave her a peaceful life only because she was worried about you.

“What does that make me? What does that make my baby and the years I put in? She was such a cute

little girl! She called me ‘Mom’ too!”

“Helen, I didn’t do that to let you down on purpose.’

“Chris, I don’t think you know that Chloe’s miscarriage wasn’t an accident. Her daughter poured

vegetable oil over the stairs on purpose to make her fall. Her daughter indirectly killed that little baby in

Chloe’s womb. I take it as compensation for my dead baby.”

Helen added, “But how was that enough? I taught Marina to add musk to Chloe’s skincare products

and the glass of milk she drank every day. That’s why Chloe became barren.”

Chris’ expression changed when he heard that. “How could you be this evil?”

“Evil?” She chuckled. “What if I tell you that I’m the reason why she’s suffering from leukemia? I hired

the Carltons to add something to her food.”

Chris’ eyes widened as he grabbed her neck. “You should come at me and me only! She’s innocent.

How could you be that cruel to her?”

“You’re the cause of my misfortune. Had it not been for her, you wouldn’t have treated me coldly. Chris

Carlton, this is what you owe me. Don’t worry, I’ve returned her child to her. Marina has been sent to

the hospital.”

She smiled brightly. “I kept my promise for yesterday’s deal. Marina’s bone marrow is compatible with

Chloe’s. It’s not too late to perform the surgery now.

“But Marina’s weak at this moment. It’s up to her if she’s able to survive the surgery. I wonder who you

will choose between your wife and your daughter.”
