Chapter 39 We Are Sisters
Julia wasn''t listening to Consu at all. Instead, she fixated her eyes on the phone screen with tears in
her eyes as she watched Mandy''s video.
"My daughter is a terrible girl, never behaving when she was a child. For thest two years, my health
has been declining and I am unable to work. I thought that she would support me now that she is a
celebrity, but..."
Mandy wiped her tears and continued, "I really can''t stand her any more. I''m too old to discipline her. I
am saying these things in public so that you can help me educate her. I can''t let her harm anybody
else."
"Mandy, is it true that Julia is involved in drug abuse?"
"Of course." Mandy nodded head firmly in response to the reporter. "She is my daughter and if she
hadn''t gone too far, then I wouldn''t have cause such a scandal. When she was younger, she used to
y with the hooligans and take drugs. I witnessed it with my own eyes."
"Then is it true that she has slept with many men?"
Mandy''s eyes dimmed, but she eventually nodded. "Although I didn''t see it, I believe this to be true.
Ever since she entered the entertainment industry, I''ve seen different mening over to pick her up.
Every time she went out, she spent the entire night elsewhere. Whenever I asked about it, she got
upset with me. She even hit me once.
I also have a record of her going to the hospital for an abortion. I really can''t support myself anymore.
Otherwise, I wouldn''t have said anything..."
Julia clenched her fist, wondering why Mandy had to make up stories to nder her. The woman was
supposed to be her mother, the closest person to her. Why would she nder her own daughter like
that?
Julia was shaking with anger.
"Julia, don''t be too sad. I will handle it for you." Consu patted her shoulder tofort her. She had
been a broker for a long time and there was no doubt that she could handle this scandal. But Julia
didn''t listen to her.
Under her breath, she kept mumbling, "How could she do this? How could she do it to me?"
"Do you still have to guess?" Consu frowned as she clenched her teeth. "It must have been Jean''s
idea. You''ve already gotten divorced, but she still doesn''t want to let you go. She wants to destroy you!"
"I''m going to find her!" Julia roughly got off the bed. She wanted to make it clear that she couldn''t let
them continue ndering her like this.
"Calm down, Julia." Consu hurriedly blocked Julia''s path. "Are you really going out now? The front
gate is swarming with reporters. If you go out now, you''ll only be digging your own grave. Listen to me.
Rest here for the next two days. I''ll take care of this."
Julia sighed and looked at the phone screen. Her voice broke with anger as she asked, "Why did she
do this to me? She''s my mother."
"Don''t be so sad." Consu stroked Julia''s hair tofort her. "Think about it. If she really treated you
like a daughter, then she wouldn''t have forced you to give her ten million dors.
Before Jean came back, you were both fine. But now that Jean has inserted herself into the picture,
everything became messy. I strongly believe that she has something to do with this."
When Julia looked up at the screen, she saw another figure appear, it was Jean.
With a scowl, Jean helped Mandy stand up. "Mom, what are you talking about? My sister isn''t how you
just described her to be. Julia is just too busy toe back home to see you. If you miss her, then we
can call her."
Mandy aggressively pulled away from Jean''s grasp. "I''m not making things up. I swear on my
conscience that I am telling the truth. I hope that you can help me monitor her."

"All right, all right." Jena then grabbed her mother''s hand and directed her attention to the reporters. "I
apologize for this. My mother hasn''t rested for thest few days and is spewing out nonsense in front of
all of you. I can assure you that my sister isn''t the type of person my mother has just described her to
be. When she has time, she wille back to see my mother. It''s all my fault. Since I was living
abroad, I wasn''t able to notice my mother''s emotions."
"Excuse me, but what''s your rtionship with Julia?"
"We are sisters," Jean said with a gentle nod. "I sincerely hope that you see this as a mere joke. I will
take good care of my mother, so that she won''t bother you again."
"I didn''t lie. Everything I said is true." Mandy was still shouting as Jean pulled her away.
"You see?" With a scornfulugh, Consu told Julia, "Your dear sister used your mother to nder
you and hide behind others. Now, everyone isparing the two of you. Not only did she ruin you, but
she also made an image of her own in front of the media by portraying herself to be a filial daughter.
She really is good at ying tricks."
However, Julia was not in the mood to care about these things. She looked at the screen and sighed, "I
don''t understand. I''ve tolerated her the entire time. Why did she still treat me like this? What did I do to
make her hate me?"
"It''s because you always tolerate her actions. That''s why she thinks that she can just bully you again
and again," Consu said in a cold and unwavering voice. "You can''t be a coward anymore. You have
to teach Jean a lesson.
The news really took a toll on your reputation. My phone nearly exploded this morning from all my
contacts who wanted to break their agreements with you."
Since Julia''s mother had caused the scandal, her words were more credible.
"Just stay at home. I''ll be at the office for a meeting. Don''t go anywhere, okay?" Consu urged,
worried about her friend.
She looked at the clock and realized that it was alreadyte. She immediately changed her clothes and
headed straight to her meeting. Julia stayed at home alone feeling dejected. She couldn''t help but hug
her knees as she saw the negativements on the Inte.
Half an hour had passed, but Julia still didn''t move. Her phone suddenly rang. She looked at the screen
and saw Samuel''s name. "Hello?" she answered in a weak voice.
"Julia, I read the news. Where are you?" he asked, his voice filled with concern.
