Benedict said firmly, “Eugene Mortimer is my son, Mom. I have my own way of tempering and training him. You have to know that Adelaide has returned. I'm going to make up for what should have belonged to her one by one!”
The phone was mercilessly hung up. My mother-in-law covered her face and cried until she couldn't help herself.
Lilian looked at me. She then said, “Rebecca, I really feel sorry for you. All of this is my fault.”
I took a breath for a while. I was really confused at this time.
Liliana continued her words, “I shouldn't have indulged her in stealing your identity. I also shouldn't have allowed my son to treat you as a prisoner in the name of making up.
My mother-in-law was trembling. She then grabbed my hand and told me everything that happened back then. It turned out that Adelaide hated my mother for knowing that my father was cheating on her mother, but he still refused to give up her mother's identity as Mrs. Reverie.
I then knew that after Adelaide learned that the Mortimer Family was interested in marrying me, she deliberately approached Benedict. She even deliberately let me discover the truth and forced my mom and me to leave our house.
My mother and I thought that leaving the scumbag would be a new life. Unfortunately, my mother died in that car accident.
My mother-in-law thought that what my father and his illegitimate daughter were asking for was for a mistress to rise to the top. But, we didn't expect that after five years, she would come back to steal my husband from me.
“Rebecca, I really don't know that she is so greedy. I just think that Benedict will love and appreciate you more one day and you two will live happily ever after without any third party like this.”
I looked at Liliana quietly and smiled ruefully. For the past five years, I felt that she treated me like her own daughter. But the cruel truth made her good to me, all tasteless.
My mother-in-law trembled as she took out a yellowed divorce agreement from her bag. She stuffed it into my hand.
“Rebecca, I know that paper can't wrap fire after all. Once you know the truth it's impossible for you to stay!”
I looked down at everything she had prepared five years ago. I suddenly laughed. In my mind, I said, ‘Oh God, how ironic my life’.
