Chapter312

“If she’s not Elizabeth’s biological mother, of course we take them back. We’re trying to suck up to Elizabeth, not her stepmother…”

The whispers in the crowd made Noelle flush with humiliation.

Maureen stood beside her, watching her discomfort with sympathy.

She asked, “If I hadn’t been born with hearing impairment, would you treat me the same as Elizabeth now?”

Noelle snapped back to reality, looking at her with a flicker of complexity in her eyes.

Truthfully, she had to admit Maureen had always been outstanding since childhood, every bit Elizabeth’s equal. If not for her own actions, Maureen wouldn’t be where she was today.

More importantly, Maureen had always been filial and thoughtful. As a child, she’d find countless ways to make her laugh, telling all her classmates that Noelle was her mother.

Noelle clenched her fist: “You’re simply incomparable to Elizabeth.”

Maureen had thought her heart couldn’t ache anymore, yet this answer still stung like icy wind blasting through her chest.
