Chapter 233: Twenty Seven Years Ago Chapter 233: Twenty Seven Years Ago “It’s nothing,” she muttered.

Ebere frowned.

Nothing?

It was clearly something.

But before she could press further, her mother abruptly changed the subject.

“By the way, what exactly did you and your brother disagree on?” Ebere stiffened.

A sudden wave of regret washed over her.

I should have just left when I had the chance… She had already gotten what she wanted, her mother’s protection from Obinna’s threats.

But now, she had allowed herself to be pulled into something deeper.

“It’s nothing, Mom.

Just some trivial things,” she tried to brush it off.

Queen Chioma narrowed her eyes, her sharp instincts picking up on the hesitation in Ebere’s voice.

“And what trivial things would those be?” she asked suspiciously.

Then, as if something clicked in her mind, her face twisted with anger.

“Don’t tell me you’re still spending time with that girl.

The one you’ve been getting closer to despite everything I’ve warned you about.” Ebere didn’t answer, but her silence spoke volumes.

The queen scoffed bitterly, her expression darkening.

“How many times have I told you to stay away from her?” she snapped.

“That bitch ruined everything for me, just like her mother did!” Ebere’s breath hitched.

“She didn’t just ruin my life,” the queen continued, her voice laced with venom.

“She ruined my marriage.” Ebere felt like the air had been sucked out of the room.

Her mother had always hated Nnenna, but never, not once, had she spoken of her mother before.

Something was very wrong here.

Ebere was stunned.
