Chapter 112 Vengeful Adopted Mother


    Fiona''s blood boiled after she hung up the phone. She gritted her teeth for a while before bursting


    into tears.


    "Ah! J is out to destroy us! Bernie, you''d better man up and do something before it''s toote.


    Mark my words. I will divorce you and leave with Jocelyn if the Lind family goes bankrupt. Don''t


    expect me tonguish in poverty with you!"


    The events that led to J''s adoption reyed in her head at this moment.


    "I told you not to adopt a child, but you refused to listen to me. Your parents used me of being


    infertile and made my life a living hell because we were childless. I was forced to adopt that child.


    She turned out to be a jinx who has made it her point of duty to destroy us. It''s all your fault. I didn''t


    do anything wrong, so I won''t suffer with you here!"


    The bankruptcy news took Jocelyn by surprise. She sprang to her feet and asked anxiously, "Mom,


    what did you just say? We are on the verge of bankruptcy? Howe? I thought we are extremely


    wealthy."

    She had been busy living a carefree life, so she knew very little about her family''s current financial


    situation.


    The death of Bernie''s father had dealt a huge blow to the Lind Group. Bernie was a pushover, so he


    couldn''t run thepany like his father. It was harder for him because all the senior executives left


    with their loyal subordinates one after another.


    Even now, he didn''t know what to do. He just curled up in the corner of the sofa like a child. After a


    while, he said, "Let bygones be bygones. We can''t undo what has already happened. Let''s focus on


    the issue on the ground. What should we do now?"


    This question added fuel to Fiona''s anger. As her hand which was holding the teacup shook, she


    shot him a cold re. "What else can we do? We need to give J the money in public, so


    everyone would know that we are honest people." "Mom, do we really need to give her the money?


    Don''t you think that bitch has gotten enough from us? I am not in support of it!" Jocelyn angrily


    stamped her feet and added, "She''s always winning against us!"


    "If we don''t give her the money, what else can we do? I honestly don''t know if J is winning


    because she has a powerful person backing her up or that we just have ill luck. Howe Mr.


    Walton find out?"


    Fiona sighed and rubbed the corners of her eyes. She was so stressed that more wrinkles


    appeared on her face. When she was done with the massage, she looked at Jocelyn and said, "My


    dear daughter, you must marry a good and wealthy man. J is so arrogant now, and this is really


    driving us crazy. Fortunately, we still have you. You are our only hope. Don''t let us down. By the


    way, your rtionship with Jason is going well, right?" "Yes, Mom. Our rtionship is blissful. Trust


    me,


    I won''t let you down."


    Jocelyn quickly took a sip of her coffee to hide the guilt on her face after lying.


    She was yet to tell her mother that Jason had dumped her.


    The same person who put her family in this mess was also the reason why he broke up with her.


    "Oh, you are a good child. Keep up the good work." Fiona heaved a long sigh and mmed the cup


    on the table. Sheer resentment filled her up as she thought about her adopted daughter. She wiped


    her tears and spewed, "J is such an ungrateful bitch! After everything we did for her, she wants


    to repay us with wickedness. Why did she open our family affairs to the public? Does she want me


    tomit suicide or die of a heart attack before she would be satisfied?"


    Bernie was still in that fetal position. "I''ll give J the money tomorrow and then talk to Mr. Walton


    about the cooperation. Let''s wait and see if things would pan out," he said sheepishly.


    Fiona red at him unwillingly.


    Losing the family''s fortune was one thing she could never ept. The thought of being poor scared


    her out of her wits.


    ''Aargh! We are about to lose everything because of that jinx, but we still have to give her the money.


    She must be very happy now!''


    It began to rain heavily outside. The downpour was apanied by thunder and lightning. Fiona


    wiped her tears and clenched her fists tightly. A murderous expression reced the sadness on her


    face in a trice.


    ''J, you will not go scot-free!'' She made up her mind to teach her adopted daughter an


    unforgettable lesson.
