Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 452

She stared at Tanya. "Because of this, Hillary's father flew into a rage and we almost broke off the engagement... Although he still married me later, my position in the Joneses was still very awkward! All of this was because of you!"

Tanya clenched her fists. "So, that's why you hate me so much?"

Jill nodded. "That's right. This is the truth behind what happened back then. Hillary elevated my status and allowed me to marry into the Joneses, whereas your existence brought shame to me! Do you think I could have still liked you?"

Tanya took a deep breath.

She suddenly understood why Jill treated her two daughters so differently.

She had always wondered why Jill had given birth to her if she didn't love her father or her.

Now, she finally knew the truth.

She lowered her eyes and slowly asked, "Why are suddenly telling me all of this now? Are you trying to make me feel guilty?"

She sneered, "Because that's not going to happen."

Jill, however, shook her head. "No, I don't need you to feel guilty about it. I know you are innocent, but this is the truth. Whether you feel guilty about it or not, this is the truth. It is also a fact that, because of you, I was unable to hold my head up high in the Joneses for so many years! I came to you this time because I want to make peace with you."

Tanya was taken aback. "Make peace?"

"Yes. I'll let you off while you also let me off... We go our own separate ways in the future. How does that sound?"

Tanya looked at the person in front of her.

She was very calm, and her thoughts were also very clear. Her words made Tanya feel as if her heart had turned cold.

Tanya said, "I have nothing to do with you in the first place."

Jill kept quiet for a while before she finally said, "You still have to promise me something."

Tanya knew that the highlight of the show was finally

here.

Despite all the things that Jill said thus far, she was but just appealing to her emotionally.

The condition was what she truly wanted.

She said, "There is no way I'll ever write a letter of forgiveness. Not in this lifetime, not in the next."

Her words made Jill's eyes flash with hatred. However, she quickly suppressed it and said, "I know you are heartless and don't care whether Hillary lives or dies! So, I'm not here for that."

"Then?"

Jill lowered her head. "It's for my own sake."

Tanya was taken aback.

Jill said, "Because of Hillary's incident, I am close to having no place in the Joneses anymore! That's why I have to reconcile with you. You are at least Joel's girlfriend now, so you will be able to keep me safe and worry-free in the Joneses."

Tanya:"?"

Seeing that she was about to speak, Jill cut her off at once and said, "No matter what happens, I am the one who gave life to you. The fact that I am your mother will never change. Because of you, for so many years, I wasn't able to enjoy life for even a day at the Joneses. Now that you have finally become distinguished, why don't you let me ride off your coattails a little? If not... With a daughter like Hillary, the Joneses are already in talks about having your Uncle Jones divorce me."

"I signed a prenuptial agreement when I married into the Joneses back then, so I can't take even a penny with me after the divorce. If life really becomes hard for me, I would have to trouble you in the end."

Tanya:

For a while, she actually found herself at a loss as to what to say.

Jill got up and said aggressively, "1 know you have someone spoiling you and loving you now, so you are not afraid of anything. But I am your mother, the ties between the two of us will never be severed. You cannot refuse me, can you?"

Jill's calm words were different from the threats and promises she had made at the door.

She even chuckled softly. "It's like what you said at the Smiths' house back then. You wish you could return your body to me... I don't want your bones or blood. I just want you to make peace with me."

Tanya looked at her.

She was a little puzzled and confused.

When Tanya returned to the Smiths, Joel and Nora were already waiting for her on the sofa. When they saw her, they immediately asked nervously, "What did you talk about? Did she threaten you again?"

"No."

Tanya sat on the sofa and repeated Jill's words.

She did not hide anything because of Jill's words. She knew that things were not as simple as she had thought.

After hearing her words, Nora asked, "Did you reject her?"
