Chapter 130
Shirley was practically grinding her teeth in anger, but now she had no other options.
She could only resign herself to fate and lower her head.
Cynthia waved the IOU in front of Shirley.
Her expression suddenly turned serious, and her voice carried a warning
“Shirley, don’t ever try any tricks behind my back again, or the price you’ll have to pay in the future will be much greater
than now.”
Shirley’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Cynthia’s expression.
She knew Cynthia was taking revenge on her now.
It was because during the competition, she had cut the shoes of Cynthia’s model, which almost prevented Cynthia from going on stage.
She didn’t expect Cynthia to have such a strong desire for revenge
So all that high–mindedness, disdain, and treating money like din was just an act
Even though Shirley was furious, she was powerless to fight back at the moment.
Cynthia walked out of the hospital.
In the parking lot, Selena suddenly called out to her, “Cynthia.”
Cynthia stopped in her tracks. “Mrs. Jones, what’s up?”
“You are willing to call him Dad, but you still won’t acknowledge me as your Mom?” Selena asked.
Cynthia’s fingers slowly clenched.
She was willing to call Justin Dad because she didn’t really care much about it.
Since Justin valued profit the most, she treated him with a business mindset.
Calling him Dad a couple of times could earn her shares in the company. She would be more than happy to do it.
But emotionally, she had long lost hope in Justin.
But with Selena, it was different,
Cynthia couldn’t ignore the fact that she had been abandoned by Selena.
群
She couldn’t forget Selena’s cruel curses and the hatred from that time.
She couldn’t forget that Selena completely disregarded her position and wanted to make Lilian her goddaughter.
All these things caused her immeasurable harm.
Once, the person Cynthia loved the most was her mother.
Cynthia only showed some emotional fluctuations in front of Selena.

Chapter 130
Cynthia said, “I’m currently staying over at Rachel’s place. I’ve already acknowledged her.”
Cynthia hadn’t truly acknowledged Rachel.
Of course, Cynthia knew that Rachel wasn’t her biological mother, but Cynthia knew how powerful her words were
Sure enough, Selena’s expression changed dramatically.
Her eyes were full of swirling emotions.
After a long pause, she lowered her gaze and said, “If you want to acknowledge her, then do it. The disputes between adults really have nothing to do with kids. It was my mistake before
For some reason, Cynthia felt very upset hearing this.
She had been waiting day and night for these words for years.
Cynthia was waiting for Selena to admit that abandoning her was her fault.
She was waiting for Selena to regret it, to have sleepless nights, and to face the consequences of fate.
But when Selena finally said those words, there was no satisfaction of revenge in Cynthia’s heart but deep sadness,
At that moment, Cynthia felt very confused. She wondered, ‘So, what is it that I really want?”
Selena continued. “Cynthia, if I’m not wrong, you must be Miss, right?”
Cynthia looked at Selena. There was only a moment of surprise in her eyes.
y a matter of time before Selena figured it out.
It was only a
After all, Selena was the one who knew her best since she was little.
Selena explained, “When Shirley designed the Four Seasons Garden, I thought the designs looked familiar, like I had seen them somewhere before. Then it hit me. I remembered seeing you sketch the Four Seasons Garden in your study years
A bitter smile appeared on Selena’s lips. “You’re really a talented child, whether it’s in fashion design or jewelry design.”
Cynthia loved to draw since she was little and didn’t even have a professional designer teach her fashion design at the time Just because she was interested, she studied on her own and got the hang of it.
That was probably also how she became a jewelry designer.
Cynthia looked at Selena steadily. “Since you knew, why didn’t you reveal me just now?”
Selena replied, “You have your reasons for wanting to keep it private.”
Selena was silent for a moment and then said, “Moreover, over the years, I have done so many things that hurt you trying to protect Shirley. I won’t do that anymore.”
while
If Shirley discovered that Miss Y was actually Cynthia and that the plagiarism accusations were also orchestrated by Cynthia, she would definitely cause a big scene.
Moreover, Justin would hold Cynthia responsible for putting Velorix in danger. The shares wouldn’t be given to her either.
Cynthia let out a cold laugh. “Do you think this will make me forgive you
Her tone was cold, but deep down, she felt extremely sad.

Chapter 130
She suddenly found herself deeply confused.
She had gotten everything she wanted, Selena’s regret and guilt. Yet, it seemed that wasn’t what she truly wanted.
She didn’t know what she wanted.
Perhaps, she wanted… to return to her old life. It was a life without any barriers. One where she could be carefree and spoiled, enjoying a worry–free mother–daughter relationship.
However, that was impossible now. Cynthia knew it was never going to be possible.
“It’s alright if you don’t forgive me, Cynthia. As long as you live well, I’m content, Selena said with tears brimming in her eyes, but she held back and didn’t let the tears fall
“So you’re regretting it now because I’m more useful to Velorix, and it’s your decision after weighing the pros and cons asked Cynthia.
Selena looked up at Cynthia
She quickly explained, “Of course not. When I gave you up back then, it wasn’t about weighing the pros and cons
“I just couldn’t accept that the daughter I raised was the daughter of the enemy I had hated for so many years.”
Selena said. “The relationship between your biological mother and me was a big joke by fate. From best friends to most hated enemies, we retaliated against each other, but in the end, it only led to a lifetime of resentment, and neither of us won
I have let go of it all now. Vengeance breeds vengeance, and I don’t want the tragedy of our generation to be repeated in yours
“Cynthia, you are far more outstanding than Shirley, and your future can’t be compared. She can’t outmatch you. If one day she falls completely, don’t ruin her entirely. Spare her, okay?”
Selena had been having dreams like this recently, without any clear reason why. Cynthia and Shirley had been having fierce clashes in her dreams.
Cynthia’s attacks were quick and ruthless, leaving Shirley in a patul state.
Even though Selena disliked Shirley, Shirley was still her own daughter.
Now that Shirley ended up like this, she had some responsibility as well.
In the end, Selena couldn’t bear the thought of Shirley offending Cynthia and suffering a tragic fate.
After all, the one backing Cynthia was Jonathan.
Dealing with
with someone who crossed him was as
as easy as squashing an ant
Cynthia said, “Don’t worry. As long as she behaves, I won’t cause her any trouble.”
With that, Cynthia didn’t say anything further. She got into the car and left.
The car sped away from the hospital, racing along the highways.
As
Cynthia drove, tears suddenly flowed down her face.
After crying, she felt somewhat relieved.
At that moment, she finally understood that what was lost could never be regained and time couldn’t be reversed.

For years, she felt like a neglected child, unable to let go of the fixation on being abandoned by her closest ones.
Trapped in the memory of the rainy day she was driven out of her home, she couldn’t comprehend how a mother could leave her own child.
But at that moment, she felt somewhat relieved.
Human nature was ultimately complicated.
Selena was no saint.
She had experienced her share of a shattered life.
When Selena discovered Cynthia was her enemy’s daughter, the breakdown and hatred she had were genuine.
And maybe the guilt and remorse Cynthia currently felt were genuine too.
Cynthia wiped her tears away, just like that time when she was violated. It was time to reconcile with herself.
