Chapter 66
“What happened to breakdast today?”
The household staff looked a bit uneasy. “Ms. Monica, Mr. and Mrs. Boyd had breakfast early this morning. Ms. Niende also finished eating and then left for school.
“Mrs. Boyd said from now on, breakfast time will be moved earlier to match Ms. Nicole’s school schedule. Since y

Ms. Monica? just that one term was enough to deeply upset Monica.
you werent up yet,
She went from being the only “Ms. Boyd” to now being “Ms. Monica.” She used to be the one everyone doted on, to just being a background character.
This was apparent at the homecoming dinner the last time. Aaron was drugged but still managed to ditch her, causing her to hit the back of her head and pass out. That even led to indirectly pushing him and Nicole together!
How did Nicole end up with all the good things?
Monica clenched her teeth. She couldn’t hold back the anger boiling inside her, she didn’t even bother to hide her attitude from the household staff. “I’m not eating!”
Then, Monica storied out of the Boyd residence in a fury.
The household staff that watched Monica’s back as she left didn’t look worried at all
Since working for the Boyd family, the staff had long since learned how to read the room. Now that the real daughter had been found, who would keep catering t Monica? They needed to get on the good side of the real one–not waste time trying to keep Monica happy.
Besides, Heidi’s and Kenneth’s attitudes made everything clear.
Monica was adopted at the end of the day. She had always been just a stand–in…
After leaving the Boyd residence, Monica went to see Jacob.
Since the Escobar family had offended Boyd Corporation and Compton Group, their company had completely collapsed. Daniel had been running around trying to secure funding, but no one dared to lend a hand to the Escobar family anymore.
Helping then would mean going up against Aaron Who would be that foolish?
Jarol had seen people’s true colors more clearly than ever. Back when he had money:
yand power, he was surrounded by “good people“.
Now, after that disaster at the Boyd Corporation banquet–when everyone saw their family become the laughingstock–Jacob realized he couldn’t even g single so–called good friend to lend a hand.
Either they were suddenly dealing with money problems at home, or they just didn’t have time.
Jacob saw through them all

Now, sitting in a cafe, le lucked w
wom out, his face pale and lifeless.
Monica looked at him and couldn’t help but marvel at how much a person could change
But there was no way she was going to end up like Jacob
She tapped the table to order. “What do you want to drink? it’s crime.”
Jacob it out a cold laugh. “Why are you here? To rub it in?”
Monica was good at pretending. Playing the sweet, pitiful one was her specialty.
“Why would I mork you, Mr Escobar? It’s all because of Nicole that you ended up like this, isn’t it?
The moment he heard Nicole‘ ne, Jacob’s expression darkened. The hatred in his eyes nearly spilled over.
He clenched has fist, grinding it against his palm “Don’t bring that woman up! She was with me for three years and then pulled this crap on me in the end. If I had known it would end like this, I should’ve crushed her in those three years.”
She worked three jobs a day just to support him, and he still went easy on her!
He even stayed celibate for those tee years just to play the devoted boyfriend role.
If he had slept with her early on, Nicole would never have been able to leave lam!
It was said that if one wanted to keep a woman, he would have to sleep with her first.
He never got her even once. How could he be willing to just let her go like that for the rest of his life?
