"What did you tell me before you came to P City? You're messing up yourself before even getting Damon, is this all you're capable of?"
Wendy's tears kept falling, her hands clenching tightly on the blanket. Apart from shame and anger, all that was left was the insane jealousy and self-loathing.
All the negative emotions surged like a tidal wave. Was this all she could do? She reminded herself to stay calm many times and used all her methods to fight against Chloe. But in the end, she was always the one who lost.
"Mom... I'm really losing it... Because of Chloe..."
Because of Chloe, she started to feel jealousy and self-loathing. She was jealous of Chloe's wisdom. Every failure made her doubt whether she was smart enough or good enough.
Grace's face turned colder; she was very disappointed. "Think about why you're fighting with her, if you can't win, just give up."
"No! I can't!" Wendy shook her head and finally started to cry.
"Mom... I can't... I love Damon, and being with him is my dream. In order to be worthy of him, I started learning things other girls never touch since I was young. I studied abroad, tried to enrich myself as fast as possible, I did so much, and every single thing was to make myself better, to be better by his side... I was born to live for him... I can't give up on him..."
Wendy was trying to suppress herself, knowing her mother couldn't stand her weakness and incompetence. But she couldn't control her emotions. The pain of not being able to have what she wanted surged like a flood, spreading all over her body, converging in her heart, and finally completely erupted.
She sobbed, with hot tears in her eyes.
Grace took a deep breath and said coldly, "There are plenty of fish in the sea..."
But Wendy still shook her head, looking at Grace with teary eyes, "But who could be better than Damon? Who could be more outstanding than him? No... Damon is the best man... How could I accept anyone else?"
Grace closed her eyes. Yeah, the best man was right by her side, which woman could willingly give up the best one and accept someone less than the best?
"Enough, stop crying." Grace scolded coldly.
Wendy bit her lip, "But Chloe..."
"What about her?"
Grace sneered, "She's just a girl with no family background. How can you compare yourself with her? Doing so will only belittle yourself and overestimate her."
Wendy's emotions gradually calmed down, "But the one by Damon's side right now is her..."
"But who knows what the future holds?"
"You must always remember, you're the daughter of the Alonso family, the future leader of the Alonso family. You can always get what you want. There's nothing in this world that you can't have. Even if you can't get it, others are even less qualified to obtain it."
