Chapter 522 Delusional Disorder

Laura stood up from the couch immediately. Looking at Jennifer top-down, she said, “Can’t I even hold you responsible for what you’ve caused?”

Jennifer crossed her arms tightly when she heard that. A sense of helplessness flashed beneath her eyes at the same time.

She then explained, “Mom, I don’t mean that. I swear that I was super anxious when you got arrested. I even searched everywhere for connections to help us out.”

“I’m a little tired, so I’m going upstairs to rest. If you wish to say anything else, do it later,” Laura said while waving dismissively before heading upstairs alone.

Jennifer got up from the couch but could only watch as her mother stormed upstairs into the latter’s bedroom.

Frustration and annoyance overwhelmed Jennifer at that moment. She turned to Vincent and uttered, “Dad, I swear I didn’t do it. I’m not…”

“All right, that’s enough. Your mom just got released from the police station. They must have given her a hard time there. Thus, it’s only understandable for her to vent her exasperation onto you. Now, I’ll go and check up on her. Don’t worry too much about it. I’m sure everything will be okay,” consoled Vincent.

He then went upstairs to look for Laura. With that, Jennifer was left all alone in the living room. A sudden sense of unfamiliarity surged in her as she glanced resignedly at the massive villa around her.

It did not take long before Vincent arrived upstairs and knocked on Laura’s bedroom door. While standing outside, he politely stated, “I’m coming in, okay?”

With those words, he opened the door to let himself in.

Inside, Laura sat on the bed with her shoulders slumping dispiritedly and a downcast expression.

“Things have been pretty hard on you, Dear.” Vincent walked over to Laura. He wrapped his arms around her and consoled gently, “Try to relax now that you’re back. You’ve got to loosen up. In the past few days, Jennifer has been awfully worried about you. She tried everything to make Oscar remove his charges against you. Jennifer had a hard time dealing with this matter, too, you know? It’s not wise to take your anger out on her. Otherwise, she might feel even more hurt from how you’re treating her.”
