CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Chapter 1623

The woman's expression flickered with unease. "Are you trying to scare me with that?"

"Whether it's a scare or not depends on your actions," Jamie replied, her tone sharp and laced with sarcasm. "An item left unattended is a lost possession to some, but to others, it might look like bait. Since when is returning lost property a crime?" The woman's expression darkened as she realized she was losing the argument. The murmurs from the surrounding crowd began to shift in tone.

"You're just trying to dodge responsibility!" the woman snapped, her voice growing shriller. "I've never seen someone so shameless. Instead of feeling guilty, you stand there acting so self-righteous." "You're throwing baseless accusations at my mom, and the fact that I haven't torn into you yet shows how patient I'm being. Do you actually expect me to be polite about it?"

Jamie shot her a look that practically screamed, "Are you even hearing yourself?"

The woman's breath hitched in frustration. With a clenched jaw, she glanced sideways, her eyes narrowing as she shot a threatening look at her daughter.

Jamie followed the gaze and froze for a moment.

The girl was painfully thin, her hair dull and brittle from malnutrition. The woman gave her daughter a shove, causing the little girl to fall to the ground, rubbing her eyes and crying pitifully.

The woman immediately turned the situation to her advantage. "Look at that! You scared my daughter into tears. You owe me compensation!"

Jamie couldn't believe her ears. Was this woman out of her mind?
