Chapter 1069 Please Help Me

“I initially planned to return to work after my maternity leave. Your father couldn’t have stopped me. But one night, I saw your tiny face turning red from struggling with

the bottle. I just couldn’t leave you.

“I told myself to put my career on hold and wait till you were a bit older before. returning. Your father was elated to hear that because that meant he could be at

peace without any worries.

“Later, I found out that the company was deciding between sending me or your father abroad as a new manager. He got promoted swiftly after I left.

Judith clenched her fist. “I was naive. I didn’t keep a safety net for myself. After having you, I softened and kept lowering my own boundaries. I thought I could endure it even when I found out about the mistress.” Judith’s tears streamed down her face uncontrollably as she continued.

“I’ve become someone even I can’t respect. I can’t stand it anymore.” Judith wiped her tears with her thumb and held her belly protectively with one hand as she looked directly at Janessa. “If you find me embarrassing and don’t want to acknowledge me as your mother, then we’ll part ways.

“I’ll divorce your father, and you can stay with the Martinez family. I won’t fight for your custody.”

Janessa shouted, “Can’t you just not get a divorce? Think about me! My classmates will laugh at me for coming from a broken family!” Even now, Janessa was only concerned about herself.

Judith looked at Janessa’s tiny face. Her tears ran down her cheeks as she laughed dryly. “You really are part of the Martinez family, Jane. Do you know what truly broke

me?

“It wasn’t staying home for six months and wanting to wait until you were three when you could speak or walk before going back to work. It wasn’t quitting the new job I finally found when your grandma got a mycoplasma infection that spread to her lungs. It wasn’t even your father’s affair.

“It was your attitude.”

“Okay, okay, okay.” Janessa was getting frustrated. “I know you worked hard for me. It was all for me. So why can’t you not get a divorce for my sake?”

“I’m getting a divorce.” Judith’s voice grew calmer. “Not just that. Your father’s career as an author will also be over. He shouldn’t have stolen my work to build his

reputation.

“It’s not my fault if your classmates make fun of you. It is your father’s for betraying our family. I’m not telling you this to complain, but to state facts.” Judith’s gaze lowered. “You didn’t have to know any of this.

“But since you’ve had meals with the mistress and even said you liked her, you should welcome her into this home. I was foolish to think it would affect your studies if you found out about this. It turns out, I was the only person in the dark.”

Janessa looked guilty for a moment before retorting, “Fine. Get a divorce if you must. But do you really have to make such a scene?

“Mommy, if Daddy loves Ms. Phoebe, why not just be happy for them? If you keep making such a scene, everyone will think you’re being pathetic.”

“Be happy for them? Pathetic?” Judith repeated Janessa’s words. Her gaze fell downward and she no longer looked back. She turned to Wynter and fell to her knees.

“Ms. Quinnell, I, Judith Zachman, have no power or influence. I’m just an ordinary. housewife. The only thing I can offer you is my life. Please help me get justice. I will be indebted to you for the rest of my life.”
