Chapter 1829


    The moment Delh settled on the couch, Jodie’s gaze toward her underwent a transformation. A cold


    stare reced the previous warmth.


    Jodie had been subjected to her cruelty since childhood.


    Before discovering her true identity, Jodie naively believed her mother harbored no love for her. In


    pursuit of that elusive affection, she went to great lengths.


    It wasn’t until she crossed paths with Cindy, Owen, and Nicole that the revtion about her true


    parentage unfolded. Delh was not her mother.


    From that point on, Jodie’s character took a dark turn. She became willing to do anything to secure


    Wilfred’s love and the coveted status of being the cherished Newhouse heiress.


    Jodie would go so far as to take a life if Delhmanded it. She was ready to obey every whim.

    Her existence felt like a precarious bncing act on a knife’s edge. Each step brought agony.


    To cope, she redirected her frustrations onto Harvey whenever she felt upset. A model child in her


    parents’ presence, she transformed into a demon around Harvey.


    She knew Harvey held the least significance in the family—he wasn’t Wilfred’s biological son. The


    Newhouses extended their generosity by making him one of their own.


    Despite Delh being his birth mother, he felt like a mistake to her. Wilfred’s constant use of Harvey as


    a threat resulted in fluctuating treatment from Delh, who asionally found herself feeling disgusted


    by him.


    Jodie exploited this situation to torment him.


    “Why are you standing there?” Delh looked at Jodie in disgust. “Make me tea!”


    Jodie promptly served her tea and moved behind the couch to massage Delh’s shoulders. Only then


    did Delh soften her frown.


    She asked softly, “Mom, is dad really meeting Maisie?”


    “Mm-hmm.”


    “Aren’t you going to stop them?”


    “Stop them?” Delh scoffed. “Why should I? How is it bad for them to meet?”


    Jodie hesitated before whispering, “I’m worried—”


    “What are you worried about?!” Delh interrupted her. “Your status?”


    Jodie’s hands froze.


    Delh turned her head, her sharp eyes piercing through Jodie’s thoughts.


    “Useless! The status of the Newhouse heiress doesn’t belong to you! God has been generous to let


    you be the little bitch’s substitute for over 20 years!”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay

    “Mom!” Jodie panicked.


    Delh scoffed, “To that old man, Maisie is Anya’s substitute! So I won’t stop them from meeting… Isn’t


    it better for him to fall for her?”


    “W-What are you talking about?” Jodie widened her eyes in shock.


    She was indeed useless, only fixated on securing her status.


    Meanwhile, Delh was plotting something else…


    “Haha! Hahaha!” Delh suddenly burst into hystericalughter, sending chills down Jodie’s spine.


    “Yes. I wonder if the amazing author Maisie can write such a plot herself. Hahaha!” She clenched her


    teeth. “I should’ve thought of this earlier! I should’ve brought Maisie to Wilfred instead of sending her


    Daniel’s way!”


    Jodie paled from the scare, continuously backing off until she hit the wall.
