Chapter 351 Why So Ruthless

She remembered those days when she was bullied the most. In her dreams, her mother returned, cradling her and promising never to leave again. She had friends at school, and nobody bullied her anymore.

Awakening from her dream, she found herself in the chilling solitude of her bed, enveloped by the pitch- black night. She curled herself up, tears streaming down her face in a silent cry for help.

Dreams like these were most frequent during her primary school years. As she gradually aged, they became increasingly rare.

She couldn't recall the last time she had such a dream, but it had been at least a decade.

Once upon a time, Lenora would find herself wondering where "she" could be now. Did she remarry? Why was she so cruel, never bothering to visit? Had she already found another child to love, leaving her cast aside?

At times, she resented "her" for leaving her behind, while at other moments, she wondered if "her" actions were driven by her difficulties.

Later on, she stopped yearning for a mother and no longer held resentment toward "her." She simply acted as if such a person didn't exist in the world.

After her father's death, she stumbled and fumbled her way through the many years that followed.

In the vastness of the world, Lenora had never imagined that the two of them would meet again.

Fate's design took her by surprise.

It turned out "she" was the second wife of the patriarch of the Hoffman family.

When her father passed away, had "she" seen the news? Did she know she was adopted by the Fuller family?

That day, when "she" had her subordinates take her to the hospital, did she know that the girl she was dealing with was the very daughter "she" had abandoned years ago?

As Lenora recalled the words "she" had spoken at the hospital, a hint of mockery surfaced on her lips.

"She" surely knew about it.

Yet, "she" still forced her to apologize to Donovan, mistakenly believing that Harrietta was her daughter while continuing to use Harrietta as a threat against her.

In "her" eyes, she didn't even compare to Summer.

Lenora couldn't help but laugh.

This was the mother she had yearned for so much during her childhood.

Though she had long ceased to hope, she still found it both tragic and ludicrous that she used to yearn for her mother's warmth as a child.
