Chapter 534



.

Lily’s car couldn’t get in because the doors were completely locked. She could only park the car on the shoulder. With the DNA test report in hand, she went around the crowd and headed towards Nora.

Nora was still standing off to the side and watching. After receiving Lily’s report, the corners of her lips curved upward slightly: it was just what she expected!

However, she didn’t step forward to say anything. Instead, he continued to observe the situation with a look that seemed to have the whole situation under control.

Lily whispered, “Anti, I can finally…”.

She stretched out two fingers, made a gesture as if a figurine were walking, and asked cheerfully, “…are you going to bed yet?” “… Go ahead,” Nora replied.

“Whew!”

Lily breathed a sigh of relief and took two steps toward the porch. But she had only taken two steps when her phone rang. No one knew what the person on the other end was saying, but Lily’s expression suddenly changed. She ruffled her hair in irritation and shouted angrily, “Shit!”

Then she turned and complained to Nora with her cell phone in her hand. “Quentin simply refuses to relieve himself without me. In the end I’m not meant to get any rest.”

Nora: “?”

She asked hesitantly, “Haven’t you hired several caregivers for him?”

Hearing this, Lily became even angrier. Lily, who had at first teased Quentin and infuriated him every day at the hospital, seemed totally helpless at that instant. She said, “At first, I wanted to tease him, so I helped him do it every time. He was shy at first, but eventually he got used to it. When I got someone else to do it, he complained that now he can’t do it with anyone else, so he keeps putting up with it!”

Nora: “…”

Lily looked at her, “Can I hook Quentin up to a urinary catheter and a drainage bag?”

Nora looked at her and replied quietly, “No.”

Quentin had very strong self-esteem. If he was hooked up to a drainage bag, it would probably mark him mentally. He was a person who liked to show off and enjoy the limelight. Nora didn’t want him to feel handicapped.

Lily was also joking. Different patients should be treated differently. Besides, Quentin was really quite handsome and she really liked the way he looked, so she would let him be.

She shrugged her shoulders. Then, she slipped through the crowd that had just passed her to go inside and left.

As Nora watched her from behind, she couldn’t help but touch her nose. Should she give Lily another raise? Look how tired the girl was.

As she talked to Lily, she didn’t forget about Tanya, of course.

When Lily left, she looked back at Jill.

There was a circle of people around Jill. They were all married ladies who had come to give Tanya wedding gifts. Some of them were afraid to get involved and didn’t want to offend Tanya, but most of them were mothers who disagreed with Tanya’s behavior. They reached out to comfort Jill.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. It doesn’t matter, it’s all over. The killer has been put in jail too, so no one will harass you anymore. As for your children, Tanya is now your only daughter. Since you’ve already raised her, you can’t antagonize her, right?”

“Exactly. Mrs. Smith is not an unreasonable person either. You also have a daughter, so you should also be able to understand your mother’s pain…”

Tanya, who was so angry she was shaking, clenched her fists.

It was clear that Jill was talking nonsense. Karl had clearly stated that the two of them were willingly dating back then. How did it become a statement that Karl had forced her?

She pointed at Jill and took a deep breath. “Dad said the two of them were going out willingly back then!”

Jill sighed. “Yes, of course he would say that. How else could he say it? What made me do it? For the sake of his reputation, I allowed myself to be backed into a corner, too. When I thought of the nightmare back then, how could I dare to tell the truth?”

Jill dried her eyes with a handkerchief. “But things are different now, he’s been arrested. I think the bad guys will definitely get their punishment. That’s why I’m willing to tell the truth now. All these years, I really have been so wronged and suffered so much!”

Everyone else sighed.

Tanya scoffed, “You don’t have to play the victim and try to gain sympathy here. My father is not that kind of person.”

When she said that, Jill cried even more. “Tanya, how can you trust a murderer over me? I know that killer has made a lot of money overseas and he gave all that money to you, So you treat him better than me! But don’t forget that I’m your mother who raised you! Whereas you’ve only known him for half a month.”

This comment of hers was a bit accusatory and implied that Tanya only trusted Karl for the money.

The expressions of the wealthy ladies around them changed immediately. They looked at each other and the corners of their mouths tightened.

Jill kept talking. She said, “I know Karl left you a lot of money! You will also take it to the Smiths after your wedding tomorrow. I don’t mind any of that, I can take it. But how can you abandon me and refuse to acknowledge me as your mother?”

The others stepped forward and tried to persuade Tanya. “Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Jones is actually quite pitiful. There is no lasting enmity between mothers and daughters. Mrs. Jones certainly made a mistake and was partial to Hillary in the past, but now that Hillary is gone, you are her only daughter? Why don’t the two of you reconcile?” Everyone liked to be in harmony, and disapproved of the elders’ abandonment, although Jill didn’t need Tanya to support her….

With everyone trying to persuade her, Tanya’s eyes were about to redden.

Karl actually had the opportunity to run away.

Although he hadn’t been conscious when the incident took place, he had tossed and turned all night yesterday, unable to sleep. After careful thought, he realized that Karl’s cell phone had been ringing constantly when they were on their way to the bridal store.

Later, Karl had also been behaving as if he knew that the agents were going to come running to arrest him….

He had known this for some time, but he hadn’t run away. He had only hoped he could drag things out until his daughter’s wedding and be able to hold his daughter’s hand in Joel’s hand at the wedding before he left.

But it was still too late.

No one knew that when Karl was taking off his suit, he had turned to her and looked at her with a smile in his eyes. He had even said to her, “You look so beautiful in the wedding dress.”

Her father had helped Jill and taken action against her at first because he felt a little guilty towards Jill. How was it possible for someone like that to force himself on Jill?

Tanya clenched her fists and asked, “What exactly do you want?”

Jill finally sat up straight and sighed. “Tanya, what can I do? I just want you to see me as your mother. Can’t we get along? Your Uncle Jones has also wanted to form a good relationship with the Smiths.” Form a good relationship with the Smiths?

Predictably, she was here to demand benefits again!

There was no end to that family of parasites.

Jill stood up. “We’re both mother and daughter, but the Smiths haven’t stopped cracking down on the Joneses lately, which has sent the Joneses’ business into a tailspin. Tanya, I no longer expect the Smiths to take care of us. Because of our relationship as mother and daughter, can’t you give the Joneses an out?”

He was again splitting hairs.

Tanya was filled with despair as she stared at Jill.

Joel had a thousand and one ways to punish the Joneses, but hadn’t he already decided not to take any action because of her?

If Jill wasn’t his mother, the Joneses would have gone bankrupt a long time ago!

Tanya’s eyes turned red. Just as she was about to speak, a voice suddenly broke in. “So you want to take advantage of the Smiths? Are the Joneses capable of doing that?”
