Chapter 876

"Mrs. Updike, do I look like an idiot to you? Or are you just not thinking straight?" Valarie asked, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

Monica's expression stiffened in response.

"Then what do you want?" Monica demanded, her voice cold.

Valarie raised her eyebrows and said firmly, "Even if they're sent abroad, they could always come back. What I want is to sever ties completely."

Monica's face hardened. "Valarie, you're still just a young woman. Don't be so ruthless. Zayn's mistress may be at fault, but the child is innocent. I can't believe you'd suggest something so extreme!" Her gaze carried a note of disappointment, as though Valarie's words reflected poorly on her character.

Once, that look might have affected Valarie, but now Monica was no more than the mother of the defendant-a near stranger to her.

"Whatever ruthlessness I have pales in comparison to yours, Mrs. Updike. After all, you managed to raise a rapist," Valarie retorted.

"What did you just say?!" Monica shot up from her seat, pointing an accusatory finger at Valarie. "Say that again!"

Her face flushed, her eyes blazing with rage, as if she were ready to lash out.

"No matter how many times I say it, it won't change," Valarie replied coolly. "I won't be withdrawing my charges, nor will I accept mediation. Zayn is going to pay for what he did."
