They had said enough.
Seeing Mandy Lawson’s increasingly dark expression, May exchanged a glance with Lana Daniels.
Both of their eyes gleamed with absolute confidence.
In their minds, there was no way the wild brat who had just been brought back could ever compare to the deep bond Mandy shared with May.
Furthermore, ninety percent of the information in the document was true.
They had merely twisted a few minor details.
Mandy was already mentally fragile.
As long as they planted this seed of doubt…
“Who gave you the nerve to investigate my daughter?”
The mother and daughter were still communicating silently with their eyes when an icy voice shattered the silence.
May froze.
She looked at the furious woman in the wheelchair.
“Aunt Mandy?”
“What right do you have to investigate my daughter?!” Mandy practically roared the words.
Enraged, her usually pale face flushed bright red, and the veins on her forehead bulged.
“Aunt Mandy…
I…
I’m just doing this for your own good…” May had never seen her aunt look so fierce.
Terrified, she stumbled two steps backward, nearly tripping over herself.
“Mandy!
We’re just looking out for you!
Is a wild brat from God-knows-where really worth treating Mimi like this?”
“Shut up!
Shut your mouth!
Juno is my daughter!
She is my daughter!”
Under normal circumstances, Mandy acted perfectly sane, but whenever the topic of her long-lost daughter was brought up, she became extremely volatile.
“Mandy, snap out of it and look at this document!
If that girl really was sent by Stephen Grant, the Jacobs family will be completely ruined!”
Lana couldn’t care less about her sister’s mental state.
Pushing her even further, she shoved a photograph of Stephen Grant and Juno in the same frame into Mandy’s hands.
In the photo, the man was tall and handsome, while the girl looked at him with a shy, affectionate gaze…
Mandy’s entire body trembled violently.
“Get out!
Both of you, get out of here!
Get out!”
In truth, how could Mandy not have her own suspicions about a daughter who had glared at her with cold hostility one day, only to hug her and call her “Mom” the very next?
She was terrified.
The fear left her trembling, ruining her appetite and robbing her of sleep.
But she was far more terrified of her daughter wandering the streets, where even catching a single glimpse of her would be a luxury.
Even if it eventually blew her to pieces, she absolutely refused to lose her daughter again.
She endured it all in silence, willing to bear any burden as long as her daughter stayed by her side.
However, when her deepest, darkest fears were mercilessly ripped open by someone else, Mandy lost all control of her emotions.
With bloodshot eyes, she pushed herself up from her wheelchair, desperate to chase away the two disgusting, terrifying demons who were trying to steal her daughter away!
THUD.
Mandy had barely stood up before she crashed heavily to the floor.
Lana and May hadn’t expected this reaction at all.
She was acting like an absolute lunatic!
Frightened, the mother and daughter exchanged a nervous glance and slowly backed away, preparing to make a run for it.
“Stop right there.”
Just as they turned around, someone blocked their path.
Juno’s return to the Jacobs family had been quite sudden, so many things hadn’t been prepared yet.
Over the past few days, Derek Jacobs and Jayden Jacobs had been taking turns bringing her out on shopping sprees.
From major purchases like furniture and decorations to small necessities like toothbrushes and slippers, they bought her nothing but the absolute best.
Since Mandy’s leg was in a cast, going out was difficult for her.
To make sure she felt included, Juno video-called her every time to ask for her opinion.
When she called today, a servant had answered the phone, saying, “Mrs.
Jacobs is entertaining guests.”
Juno had asked out of curiosity who the guests were.
The moment the servant mentioned Lana Daniels and May Lawson, she immediately rushed back home…
