Chapter 318

Jennifer listened to Wendy's threats, anger simmering beneath her composed exterior. If Nick refused to divorce, then all of Camellia's waiting over the years would have been for nothing.

Jennifer couldn't stand the idea of Nick betraying Camellia any further, "Fine. We'll endure this for a bit longer," she said tersely.

Jennifer opened the door, spotting Declan supporting the frail Wendy as they entered.

Feigning nonchalance, Jennifer asked, "Mom, Declan, if this house gets auctioned off, where are we supposed to live?"

To manipulate Declan, Jennifer forced herself to address Wendy as Mom, even though it made her skin crawl.

Wendy no longer felt the need to keep up appearances with Jennifer.

She sneered, her voice dripping with mockery. "Hey, Jennifer, why are you calling me Mom again? Weren't you just calling me Wendy?

"Don't call me Mom. You're not even my biological daughter, so go cry to your bitch of a mother instead. Every time you call me Mom, I feel sick."

After all, her mother really was disgraceful.

Jennifer's eyes flickered with a murderous gleam, enraged that Wendy dared to insult Camellia by calling her a bitch again.

"Mom, you must've been too upset earlier and imagined things. How could I ever call you Wendy? You raised me, and you'll always be my mother," Jennifer said sweetly, her voice layered with false sincerity. She shot a quick glance at Declan. 'Declan still has his uses. I'll bide my time before teaching him a lesson,' she thought.

Tears streamed down Wendy's face. Jennifer had always been this deceitful, manipulating them to target Natalie, all for the goal of marrying Easton.

Once Natalie had been driven out, Jennifer became the Simpson family's only daughter.

'Jennifer, just wait. The day your movie premieres will be the day your life falls apart,' Wendy vowed silently as she wondered.
