Chapter 808 Are You Lying

Upon hearing this, Paula immediately stopped her. “Don’t you dare! If you dare tell Cecilia, I–I’ll die right in front of you.”

She could only resort to this as she didn’t know how to intimidate the caregiver anymore.

The caregiver was exasperated. “But you can’t keep deceiving Ms. Smith, can you? You should know that everything you have now is thanks to her. If you have any conscience left, you should tell her the truth.”

Paula knew that the caregiver was right, yet she was too scared to admit it. “She can find out the truth when I’m gone.”

Cecilia was mentally drained. When she arrived at Daltonia Villa, she found Jessica had returned as well. Unlike the night before, when she had been dressed for the club, Jessica was now wearing attire that made- her look like the dutiful daughter she once was.

Upon hearing this, Cecilia couldn’t help but ask, “Does your friend also have a child?”

“My friend is about your age, and her son is also just over four years old.” Jessica effortlessly spun a lie.
