Chapter 1213
“What did you tell me before you came to P City? You’re messing up yourself before even getting Damon, is this all you’re capable of?”
Wendy’s tears kept falling, her hands clenching tightly on the blanket. Apart from shame and anger, all that was left was the insane jealousy and self–loathing.
All the negative emotions surged like a tidal wave. Was this all she could do? She reminded herself to stay calm many times and used all her methods to fight against Chloe. But in the end, she was always the one who lost.
“Mom… I’m really losing it… Because of Chloe…
Because of Chloe, she started to feel jealousy and self–loathing. She was jealous of Chloe’s wisdom. Every failure made her doubt whether she was smart enough or good enough.
Grace’s face turned colder, she was very disappointed. “Think about why you’re fighting with her, if you can’t win, just give up.”
“No! I can’t!” Wendy shook her head and finally started to cry.
“Mom… I can’t… I love Damon, and being with him is my dream. In order to be worthy of him, I started learning things other girls never touch since I was young. I studied abroad, tried to enrich myself as fast as possible, I did so much, and every single thing was to make myself better, to be better by his side… I was born to live for him… I can’t give up on him…”
Wendy was trying to suppress herself, knowing her mother couldn’t stand her weakness and incompetence. But she couldn’t control her emotions. The pain of not being able to have what she wanted surged like a flood, spreading all over her body, converging in her heart, and finally completely erupted.
She sobbed, with hot tears in her eyes.
Grace took a deep breath and said coldly, “There are plenty of fish in the sea…”
But Wendy still shook her head, looking at Grace with teary eyes, “But who could be better than Damon? Who could be more outstanding than him? No… Damon is the best man… How could I accept anyone else?”
Grace closed her eyes. Yeah, the best man was right by her side, which woman could willingly give up the best one and accept someone less than the best? “Enough, stop crying.” Grace scolded coldly.
Wendy bit her lip, “But Chloe…”
“What about her?”
Grace sneered, “She’s just a girl with no family background. How can you compare yourself with her? Doing so will only belittle yourself and overestimate her. Wendy’s emotions gradually calmed down, “But the one by Damon’s side right now is her…”
“But who knows what the future holds?”
“You must always remember, you’re the daughter of the Alonso family, the future leader of the Alonso family. You can always get what you want. There’s nothing in this world that you can’t have. Even if you can’t get it, others are even less qualified to obtain it.”
“I understand. I know I’m the lady of the Alonso family. In the future, everything belonging to the Alonso family will be mine, but the fact is, Damon is getting engaged to her. Then they’ll get married, then they’ll be together for life…”
“Calm down. What’s the rush?!”
Grace’s low reproach left Wendy completely speechless, as she stared at her blankly. “Mom…”
“A man must be willing to be with you, only then can it last. What you need to do now is to get back all the favorable impression you lost from the Harper family. Be the daughter of the Alonso family as you should be. You’re completely disturbed by that woman now.”
Favora rance, mat P
Wendy fell silent. Indeed, she was disrupted by Chloe, so she made those stupid mistakes. If it wasn’t for her appearance, she could still maintain the grace of being the lady of the Alonso family.
Damon didn’t hate the old her much, did he? She needed to get back all the favorable impression she lost, she understood that. But…
“Damon is now completely focused on Chloe, how could he possibly see the good in me?”
Grace sneered, pointing at her forehead. “Fool! As long as you can show him your good side, that’s enough. Once this woman disappears from this world, you’ll be useful.”
Wendy’s heart skipped a beat, “You mean… No way!”
She firmly rejected Grace’s obvious attempt, glanced at the closed door, and whispered, “No way, if Damon finds out, I can’t bear the consequences. You think I haven’t thought about this? I hate Chloe more than anyone else in the world. But I can’t kill her. Mom, I’m afraid I’ll die before her if I kill her in Damon’s sight.” She had underestimated Chloe before. But she could underestimate anyone, but never Damon. Nothing could hide from him.
Moreover, she had been targeting Chloe everywhere before, so probably the first person Damon would think of if something happened to Chloe would be her. Suddenly, the image of that iron cage came to her mind. If she didn’t behave, she would be the one in that cage. The full room of torture instruments had given her a full night of nightmares.
Seeing Wendy’s suddenly pale face, Grace didn’t say anything further. “Alright, rest for now. Elizabeth will be back later, I’ll go downstairs first. I have to chat with ber.”
Wendy nodded, her body indeed somewhat weak. She fell into a deep sleep not long after she lay down.
Grace went downstairs, her eyes red.
Seeing this, Presley felt even guiltier.
“Presley, I saw Wendy’s wounds, how could someone… be so brutal…” Her face showed unhidden grievances and anger.
Presley’s expression was also not good, as he said in a cold voice, “Chloe did go overboard on this one, but Wendy was the one who messed up first. If she hadn’t whipped Chloe initially, Chloe wouldn’t have reacted this way towards her.
Grace was taken aback, not expecting Presley, who always took Wendy’s side, to say such a thing, “So you’re saying Wendy deserved all those lashes? They were
1/2
whips, for god’s sake! If she had gotten hit a few more times… What the hell kind of grudge did she hold to nearly beat my daughter to death?”
She deliberately exaggerated it. Young people had squabbles, but it was not like they were mortal enemies. The fact that Chloe was so ruthless just went to show how heartless she really was.
