Became A Queen After divorce

Pearl had thought she had everything under control, that she could remain calm and indifferent.

But this one sentence made her unable to stay indifferent, filling her heart with sorrow.

Yes, her mother didn’t really like her; she seemed to prefer her older sister, Libby.

The young girl remained silent, but her pale face betrayed her true emotions.

Libby looked down at her with the stance of a victor, her sharp, slanted eyes filled with sympathy. She approached the girl in seven-centimeter high heels.

As Libby advanced, Pearl retreated.

She kept stepping back until her back hit a column, feeling the coldness against her spine, realizing she had nowhere left to go.

Libby didn’t let her off, smiling arrogantly with her red lips, that smile both wild and radiant.

“Pearl, I don’t know whether I should envy you or pity you.”

“So what if you have Sam’s favor? Your own mother, my aunt, doesn’t like you!”

“Do you know? To her, you are a nightmare, a lifelong disgrace!”

Hearing this, Pearl suddenly looked up, tears welling in her eyes as she glared at Libby.

“No, you’re lying! How could I be Mommy’s disgrace?”

Sometimes Mommy was gentle with her; she cared about where she went and whether she was cold or hungry.

In her eyes, Natalia was still a good mother; it was only because of Libby’s presence that things had changed.

“Hahaha, am I lying or are you deceiving yourself? Pearl, what good is your godfather’s love if you’re kept in the dark?”

“By the way, let me tell you a secret. The mother and son you let go last month are dead!”

“It was your dear father who personally assigned me to carry out the task,” she said enthusiastically, her eyes fixed on Pearl, not wanting to miss any expression on her face.

Sure enough, Pearl didn’t disappoint her.

Upon hearing this news, Pearl’s face was filled with shock, her pupils dilated in horror reflecting Libby’s smile.

It was the first time Libby saw herself in someone else’s eyes-so beautiful and… cruel.

She couldn’t help but want to see more of Pearl’s expressions.

With seductive red lips moving, she recounted the bloody events of that day in the calmest tone.

“Do you know how that mute woman died?”

“When the train stopped at a transfer station, my people sneaked into the carriage and found them. She took a bullet in the leg to save Esteban.”

“Actually, one shot didn’t kill her. The mute woman dragged her bleeding leg to get the child to the door. Just as the train started moving, she threw the child out.”

“And she used herself as a shield to hold off the killers. When her body was found, her spine was broken and almost all her ribs were shattered…”

Libby’s voice echoed like a devil’s laughter in Pearl’s mind.

Pearl felt as if she were reliving the tragic scene. Covering her ears and crying out, “Stop it! Stop it! I don’t believe it. Giana and Esteban just went back to their hometown fishing village.”

Seeing her so heartbroken made Libby feel ecstatic.

“Why can’t I say it? The news reported it while you were in the hospital. Oh, and there were even photos of the mute woman’s corpse.”

“If you don’t believe me, buy an old newspaper and see for yourself.”

Feeling triumphant, Libby strutted away in silver high heels. She believed that Pearl’s character would drive her to seek the truth.

That would be when father and daughter turned against each other.

Meanwhile, in the hallway, Cheyenne had thought Natalia wanted to discuss her illness. After some consideration, she decided to tell her part of the truth.

“Natalia, your illness… is quite tricky. For now, medication can only stabilize it. If you’re willing, you can come back to Chulae with me for treatment.”

By saying this, she was subtly telling Natalia that her condition was not optimistic.

Natalia smiled faintly and said indifferently, “If God wants to take my life back, let Him. But before that happens, I have two unfulfilled wishes.”

As long as those wishes were fulfilled, Natalia could face death calmly.

It seemed she already knew.

Cheyenne sighed inwardly. She wasn’t good with words and didn’t know how to comfort Natalia.

Natalia probably wanted to talk about those two wishes privately.

“What are your wishes? Tell me, and if it’s within my power, I’ll consider it.”

“Alright, I’ll be straightforward.”

“The first thing-I want Declan dead!”

Cheyenne couldn’t believe what she heard.

She looked up at Natalia and saw hatred surging in her eyes.

After a while, Cheyenne and Natalia finished their conversation and returned to the hall together.

She didn’t see Pearl around and asked a nearby waiter.

“Excuse me, have you seen the lady of the Gilliam family?”

The waiter nodded and replied, “Miss Pearl wasn’t feeling well and has already left. She asked me to apologize to Miss Lawrence on her behalf.”

“Pearl wasn’t feeling well?”

Natalia frowned. She seemed fine earlier; how did she suddenly feel unwell?

At this moment, Libby walked over with a smile and affectionately took Natalia’s arm.

“Auntie, don’t worry. I’ve arranged for a driver to take her back to Gilliam Mansion. It’s nothing serious; she just ate something bad.”

Hearing that Pearl only had a minor issue and left early without danger, Natalia didn’t ask further.

“That’s good.”

Cheyenne found it strange.

Although she hadn’t known Pearl for long, she could tell from small details that Pearl wasn’t irresponsible.

She had invited Cheyenne to the engagement party; how could she leave early without saying goodbye?

Something else must have happened.

She decided to call Pearl after leaving the banquet hall.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“The engagement party went smoothly. It’s getting late; I should take my leave. Natalia, Miss Libby, take care of yourselves. Let’s meet again another day.”

Cheyenne bid farewell.

Natalia had wanted to ask more about Gregory’s whereabouts but thought it was old news not worth mentioning again.

“Alright, thank you for attending tonight’s engagement party. I’ll invite you for a private gathering another day.”

As she finished speaking, a handsome man in a sharp suit approached from a distance.

“Cheyenne, are you ready? It’s time to go home.”

Kelvin’s eyes were only on Cheyenne; he ignored the two women standing beside him.

Their deep love was enviable.
