Chapter 1032:
The words humiliating Eileen just now seemed to humiliate her parents as well.
Deep down, she had felt like they hadnât been harsh enough. But now that her parents were brought up, she didnât know how to reply to Eileen.
âJessica, donât be a hypocrite. You think itâs okay for your parents to act like this, but not for me? If you want to pick a fight with me, you should at least consider me your sister first. Apologize to me today, and Iâll be kind enough to let the matter go. Donât ruin the banquet,â Eileen said as she walked up to Jessica, smoothing her hair and giving her a gentle pat on the shoulder.
Jessica abruptly swatted her hand away and snapped, âI would never consider you my sister. You donât deserve to be my sister. Women like you, who cheat on their husbands, shouldnât even be allowed to exist!â
Eileenâs eyes brightened at the insult. âIs that so? Itâs fine for you to say that since weâre not blood-related. But you do realize youâre also talking about your own mother, right?â
âSheâs not my mother. She disgusts me!â Jessica retorted with disdain.
Growing up, she hardly ever spent time with Gianna, so she never really formed any strong feelings for her. And when they did live together, her true identity was exposed, making her a target of ridicule.
Conroy was now hiding out in the hospital, pretending to be sick, but the court had already seen through his act. It wouldnât be long before they took serious action to compel him to appear in court. The outcome was clearâhe was facing a lifetime behind bars.
Gianna was still locked in a dispute over the villa with the buyer. Now, everywhere Jessica went, she could feel the judgmental stares of others.
g αâ Î·Ï Î½ð âsâ¤com takes you away She was done hiding her anger now.
Eileenâs calm demeanor only fueled Jessicaâs rage. âWhat are you staring at? Iâm the victim here; I donât get to choose who gave birth to me! But youâre the one who did something wrong. You deserve to die!â
âWhether I deserve to die isnât for you to decide. I can let a doctor vouch for my innocence. Iâll go get a public examination done soon,â Eileen responded coldly.
Jessica quickly retorted, âI donât believe you. With all your money and influence, itâd be easy for you to tamper with the results.â
âIf you choose not to believe me, thatâs your issue. The innocent need no defense.â Eileen leaned back in her chair, narrowing her eyes lazily.
Once rumors started circulating, they tended to take on a life of their own, and no matter how much she proved her innocence, those who believed in her supposed affair wouldnât change their minds.
She had spent enough years in this social circle to get used to this kind of thing.
âThereâs a top-notch doctor at the banquet today. Are you brave enough to let him examine you?â Jessica said, pounding the table with determination.
âWhether I dare or not isnât the issue. First, answer this: What will you do if it turns out youâre wrong?â Eileen replied.
Jessica sneered and said, âIâll do whatever you ask me to do. But what if the doctor proves me right? What will you do?â
