Chapter 103 The Truth About The Past

A mix of scorn and madness played across Jovie's features as she sneered dismissively at Thiago. Recalling her past dealings with Mollie Moreno and Thiago, she still reveled in those memories.

She said, "You and your mother were the architects of your own downfall. How many times did I confess my love for your father to her? 1 pleaded repeatedly for her to step aside, yet she stubbornly refused. She brought everything upon herself!"

Enraged, Thiago struck Jovie with a forceful slap, feeling the sting on his palm. "You vile woman! My mother was your sister! How could you be so cruel to her?" he said.

The slap left Jovie's cheek burning and her teeth rattling, yet she returned Thiago's gaze with fierce defiance. "Sister? She was merely a child from her mother's first marriage, not related to me by blood. She was an unwanted stepchild. She didn't deserve to marry your father. She was unattractive, temperamental, and utterly worthless! And me? I was always the more beautiful, the more talented one, groomed by my family. I deserve to be with your father, not her!" she said.

Thiago was appalled by her irrational reasoning. “My parents shared a deep love. You were the one who destroyed their happiness," he said firmly.

In a fit of rage, Jovie retorted, "Love? That's nonsense! Your father was only after my family's wealth and influence. Your mother had neither beauty nor skills. Why would he choose her over anyone?"

Her laughter was harsh, ridiculing Thiago's innocence as if he were oblivious to the true nature of things.

After a pause, she continued, "Let me set the record straight-your father had his eyes on me from the start.

But I was too young then, so he married your mother. Once I came of age, it was only natural that he and I would be together."

Nausea overwhelmed Thiago as he grasped the full depravity of his family's dynamics. The thought of his

father filled him with revulsion now.

"You are shameless!" he exclaimed.

Yet, Jovie shrugged off the accusation, her pride evident. "Do you actually think your father had affection for

your mother? If so, then why did he ignore my harsh treatment of you both? Don't be naive. I wasn't the only
