Chapter 334


    After a moment, she continued, "Do you know how difficult it was to live abroad alone as a woman in


    her twenties? It''s like walking on the tip of a knife. I couldn''t sleep at night, desperately missed my child


    every day, but I couldn''t go back. I thought as long as I saved enough money, I would pick her up after


    living a stable life. But it took me ten years. When I went back to Hovell to look for her, she had been


    abandoned by that nasty man. I used half of my life in exchange for my child!"


    Seeing the tears in her eyes, I looked down and felt an ache in my heart. "My child couldn''t be here


    even at the expense of half of my life." She said. Looking at her, I couldn''t help but sneer, "So? Is this


    an excuse for you to hurt others at will?"


    She shook her head and regained herposure. "16 years. I''d been looking for Andrea for 16 years.


    During these 16 years, I had missed her and hoped that she was living well. To find her, even if I were


    married, I was unwilling to have a child with others, but I didn''t mind being a stepmother. I''ve been


    atoning for my sins all these years. Now that I''ve finally found her, I''m keeping her by my side no matter


    what. As a mother, you can call me selfish and vicious, but I''ll do anything to get what she wants. I''ll


    fight for her for the rest of my life."


    I sneered, "So only you love your daughter as much as your life? And others don''t?"


    "I couldn''t be bothered with that." She looked at me and raised her voice. "Arianna, you had a choice in


    the beginning. If you had chosen to abort the child from the very beginning and left Hendrix, you


    wouldn''t have had this much trouble to deal with. I did give you a choice, didn''t I?"


    I found this funny, but I couldn''tugh. People in this world are ridiculous; they really could shamelessly


    describe their selfishness and viciousness in such a fresh and refined way.


    "Madam Lawson, you are indeed a person who has gone through a lot. You can speak so righteously


    about your heinous crimes, but your hands are still covered with the blood of my child. Aren''t you afraidPublished by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    of your grandson getting retribution for it?" I was not a kind person. Listening to a few sad stories


    wasn''t going to make me softhearted.


    I didn''t have it in me to smile and forget all about my hatred towards her.


    Her face darkened. "Arianna, just because you''ve hooked up with Charles, it doesn''t mean you''re free


    to do anything you want to me. To put it bluntly, you''re just a nobody. If I have the intention to kill you,


    what can you do to me?"


    "Haha!"


    What an arrogantdy!


    "My life is worthless. You can do whatever you want to me as long as you have the ability to. It''s indeed


    not a big deal for me to hook up with Mr. Reid. However, you killed Hendrix''s child. I have a rtionship


    with the Granger Group and now, with Charles. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that I have a brother


    named Aaron. I think you know him. Do you gather that the Moore family can be brought down if all


    these people banded together?"


    "You..." Valerie''s face turned pale.


    "Your words are really bold. Where did you get the confidence to think that you had the ability to


    convince so many people?"


    Pedro suddenly came out. He walked to Valerie and sat down beside her. He looked at me with his


    eyebrows raised and said, "Valerie indeed didn''t think things through regarding the child. But Miss


    Reid, do you really think that you have the ability to do this to the Moore family yourself?"


    Since things had been unveiled, there was no need to be reserved about it. "I have to give it a try,


    anyway. My life is already a mess. Worsees to worst, I will find my child on the way to the<pherworld."
