Chapter 2818


    Imogen forced a smile, “Regina, what’s all this about? You don’te home often. Go see your dad in


    the study, will ya? I’ve got ns and can’t stick around wasting time with you.”


    “Imogen, I don’t want to waste your time either, but you owe me an exnation about what’s going on


    between you and Domingo.”


    At the mention of that man’s name, Imogen’s grip loosened, and pearls scattered, tumbling down the


    stairs. Her hand clenched into a fist.


    “Exin what? I have no idea what you’re talking about. Why do you have to be such a brat as you get


    older? Move aside, I can’t bete; I have a tea date with thedies.”


    The more desperate Imogen seemed to leave, the more Regina blocked her path.


    “Don’t y innocent with me. You and that man go way back. Don’t think I haven’t heard what you said


    to him. You know exactly what I’m talking about. Aren’t you surprised to see me standing here all in one


    piece? Do you think Dad knows about this?”


    Imogen’s struggle ceased. “You’re grown up now. You should know what should and shouldn’t be said.


    Spreading these baseless rumors will only worry your dad unnecessarily. I’ve been his wife for years


    now. We’ve had our misunderstandings, but you know how I feel about your dad, don’t you?


    After your mother passed, I was the one who looked after you. If not for my diligence, then for my


    efforts. If I were you, I wouldn’t go running to your father with gossip and hearsay. His health isn’t what


    it used to be, and as his daughter, you should be more concerned about him than I am.”


    Regina fell silent.


    Imogen’s words struck a chord.


    No matter what had happened, it had always been between the two of them.


    She had never brought it up to her father, partly because his health had indeed been failing over the


    years.


    If Domingo truly was Imogen’s ex-husbande back into the picture, or if they had never really cut


    ties-


    Regina couldn’t bear to think what would happen if her father found out. It would be a devastating blow,


    especially since he had always believed this woman truly loved him.

    “You’ve got it all figured out, don’t you? On one hand, you’re involved with another man, and on the


    other, you’re clinging to my father. Imogen, what’s the n? Trying to have your cake and eat it too?”


    Imogen’s face flushed with anger, her chest heaving, “Don’t you dare insult me. I’ve never been overly


    involved with that man! I just wish you’d get your facts straight before using me. I’ve already been


    branded a wicked stepmother. Must I now meekly wear the crown of infidelity as well? You’re a woman


    too; you ought to put yourself in my shoes for once.”


    Regina couldn’t believe her ears.


    Were these really Imogen’s words?


    How could she even say such things?


    If only Imogen, as her elder, had ever considered her side of things, Regina wouldn’t be confronting her


    with such distressing matters.


    What’s more, Domingo had tried to kill her that day! And Nn nearly didn’t make it out alive.


    It turned out everything was orchestrated by Imogen.


    Regina never intended to take Imogen’s life, but the reverse was clearly not true.
