Chapter 270

Wendy shook her head with a wry smile. She looked at Maria and said helplessly, "Maria, you've been with me for years. Do you think I'm that kind of person?

"Ever since I found out that Nick tricked me into marrying him just to bring his mistress's daughter to replace my own and live a comfortable life, I've wanted him dead. How could I not despise him?

"They say even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs. But Nick spares no one, even the Simpson bloodline. My four sons have taken after Nick's temperament, each more vicious than the other."

"Maybe they had already learned the truth, which is why they treat Jennifer so well. After all, she is their half-sister."

Wendy looked into Maria's eyes. Her eyes were filled with tears. She continued, "Maria, to be honest, Nick intentionally spoiled my four sons. I tried to correct them and did notice the problems, but Nick was exceptionally persuasive. "Every time I tried to teach the kids to focus on their studies, he would just stir things up, saying that having a degree isn't the most important thing, that having money in the future matters most.

"But then he had Jennifer attend a top university and learn all sorts of practical skills. Look at those four boys-they almost didn't even enter college.

"If the Tompson family fell, they couldn't find jobs, let alone think about getting married or having kids.

"Zoe leaving Jason, and Tiana leaving Vance, that was all Jennifer's doing. Meanwhile, Jasmine still dreams of marrying into the Simpson family, hoping to get Jason to be her leftover receiver. "Jennifer always knew that the baby Jasmine is carrying isn't Jasan's. Tiana is a good girl, completely devoted to Vance.

"But Jennifer was afraid the Gillett family would boost Vance's influence, so she deliberately involved a terrible woman to get close to Vance and schemed against Tiana in every way she could. "Maria, Jennifer is really scary. We've been investigating for over six months, and it turns out half the people in the company are on her side. So, this company must go bankrupt.

"My four sons have been completely spoiled. You asked me to groom Declan as the heir, and today I deliberately told him some things, but he only trusts Nick and won't believe anything I say.
