“Maybe the situation is just as you claim it is, but what would be the consequences?
“Not only did Yulia come in contact with Maison, she even appeared before Zivon multiple times. So how can you make me trust you again? How can I know that you’re not going to expose all of these, make Zivon accept Yulia, and destroy everything for me?”
The harsh and cruel rhetorical questions made Xavia’s face turn pale.
Once again, Jenna said, “Xavia, I haven’t been mean to you, right?
“If it weren’t me who is helping you cover up this whole thing, your reputation would have been ruined. Even if you did manage to marry Zivon because you’re the birth mother to the children, everyone in this country would still be cursing at you, and your daughter, she would have to carry the burden of being the child of a mistress for the rest of her life.
“Is that what you want to see? Why aren’t you grateful for the things you have, and why must you highlight your existence repeatedly? Why would you risk exposing yourself and your daughter’s existence?”
Every word and sentence was like a needle pricking at the heart and lungs.
Xavia could not find a single word to rebuke.
She had never thought of exposing herself, but the moment when Zivon appeared, it seemed like everything had changed, and everything that followed went out of control…
The only thing was… “You can’t blame all of this on me. If you hadn’t gone into the water by accident, I wouldn’t have to take your place, and I wouldn’t have to stay in Darlsbury for so long. I could have gone back to S City and continued living my peaceful life.”
Jenna was taken aback. Her fingers around the coffee cup were slightly tight, and in the very next second, she said, “Now you can go back to S City and continue living your peaceful life.”
Xavia was stunned.
Now…
She had signed a contract with the company, and the company might not let her off that easily, right?
But Jenna had already found out about her daughter’s identity. How long would it take for Zivon and the others to find out about the truth too?
She stayed any longer, she might just expose the secret one day.
Xavia helplessly said, “I’ll consider leaving.”
“I hope you can do what you said you’d do! Otherwise, the consequences would be unbearable for you when things happen.”
