Chapter 260



Leah broke the silence, "You have your reasons for wanting to keep it under wraps."

After a moment, she continued, "And over the years, I've done too much to hurt you while trying to protect Lisa. I won't do that anymore."

If Lisa ever found out that Miss Y was actually Chloe and that Chloe was the one who blew the whistle on her for plagiarism... There'd be hell to pay. And to top it off, Jacob would pin the crisis at Belle Époque on Chloe. No way she'd get those shares.

Chloe let out a bitter laugh. "You think that's enough for me to forgive you?"

Her voice was icy, but inside, her heart was breaking. She felt a profound sadness.

She was suddenly lost in a sea of confusion. She had gotten what she thought she wanted-Leah's regret, her guilt. But it didn't seem to be what she truly desired.

She didn't know what she wanted anymore.

She wanted... to go back to the way things used to be, a life without barriers - a mother-daughter bond where she could be carefree and spoiled. But that was impossible now. Chloe knew it could never be.

"It doesn't matter if you don't forgive me, Chloe. I hope you're happy, and that's all I care about," Leah's eyes were welling up. She fought back the tears, refusing to let them fall.
