No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 635

Her cheeks flushed a shade of pink, a clear giveaway I'd hit the nail on the head.

And yet, she seemed loathe to let all that money slip through her fingers and into mine.

Over the years, she'd been genuinely kind to me, so much so that I'd almost forgiven them for the roles they played in my parents' demise. But now, it dawned on me that her kindness was conditional, rooted not in genuine affection but in the preservation of her interests. She used to dote on me, claiming that if I couldn't be her daughter-in-law, I'd still be her daughter. I mistook that for real love. Only now do I see that it wasn't me she loved, but my inheritance.

"Jacqueline, this belongs to me. It was plundered from my parents," I declared, no longer playing the obedient girl now that I'd seen through the ugliness of human nature.

"Felicia, I-I didn't mean it like that..."

Such a feeble defense. I wasn't listening, nor did I plan to believe her, turning instead to leave.

But before I could take more than a step, Conrad grabbed my arm, locking me in place. I shot him a cold glare. "Can't let go of the billions in assets, Conrad? The little I'm reclaiming is but a drop in the ocean for the Wagner family, yet it's this very drop that built the Wagner Group."

"You think I care about that?" Conrad's voice was tinged with anger.
