Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

“The injury on your head is indeed indirectly caused by Ethan Wilson’s people. But, Mom, why don’t you think about it first? If it weren’t for your stubbornness to protect Hannah Ford, the real mastermind, would all this have happened?”

“No, Lilith, you can’t talk about your sister like that! She really isn’t the mastermind. She doesn’t know anything!”

“Huh, if she isn’t, then who is?” As Hannah Ford was mentioned, Lily Gray’s face turned even colder.

“All the evidence points to her. Ethan didn’t do anything wrong. He just wanted to protect me, so he chose to call the police. Mom, have you ever thought about it? She’s your daughter, but what about me… What am I to you?”

Bella Scott’s voice was almost broken, “You… you are, of course, my… my daughter too. Lilith, Mom… Mom loves you…”

She truly loved her.

Once, she loved her like her own life.

Now, she just… split that love into two parts.

But, she truly loved Ruby Ford, loved Lily Gray, loved her daughters.

“Love?” Lily Gray suddenly slumped her shoulders and lowered her head, like a deflated ball.

In her peach blossom eyes, identical to Bella Scott’s, disappointment and grief flashed.

“If you love me, why don’t you catch the person who hurt me?”

Bella Scott: “…”

“Do you know, at that time, I was pregnant with Ben Lucas… Do you know what the kidnappers said? They wanted to sell me to a village and have me give birth to children for all the men there… They even said, it would be best to kill the baby in my belly!”

She suddenly raised her head, her red, swollen eyes staring intently at Bella Scott, “Mom, tell me, after she did all that to me… why should I forgive her!”

Yes, why should she forgive Hannah Ford?

It didn’t matter if she died, but if she lost Ben Lucas, who would compensate her?

If it weren’t for Winston, she and Ben Lucas would have come close to losing their lives…

“Lilith…” Bella Scott cried like rain, unable to control herself any longer.

Lily Gray’s words reminded her of the order she once gave.

When Uncle Mark asked her to make a choice for the sake of Hannah, she was so determined to make that decision.

One life for two lives.

At that time, she clearly knew that Lily Gray was pregnant, but she still chose ‘one life for two lives.’

Bella Scott was on the verge of collapse. She hadn’t expected the retribution to come so quickly.

It turned out that the person whom she had wanted to hurt with all her heart at that time was her own daughter!

“Lilith, it’s not like that… it’s not. All of this is Mom’s fault, not yours. Listen to me… it has nothing to do with Hannah. It’s all Mom… it’s all me…” Bella Scott’s explanations were incoherent, all aimed at clearing Hannah Ford’s name.

Lily Gray felt her heart grow cold.

Even at this moment, Bella Scott was still protecting Hannah Ford.

“You don’t need to defend her anymore…” she said coldly, no longer harboring any expectations in her tone.

“You didn’t let me down, Hannah Ford did. I came here today to tell you… Mom, you will always be my mother, but regarding Hannah Ford’s matter, I will never tolerate it. I will pursue it to the end!”

“You—” Lily Gray’s words were like a sharp sword, slashing toward Bella Scott.

She could no longer hide the truth.

She knew that Lily Gray would show mercy to her, but once they determined it was Hannah, they would…

Thinking of this, she suddenly climbed out of her sickbed, panic-stricken, and lunged toward Lily Gray.

“Lilith, you got it wrong, you really got it wrong… None of this has anything to do with Hannah. It’s me, I’m behind everything! I sought Uncle Mark, I sought the connections in the Scott family, and those kidnappers were all arranged by me…”
