Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 1829

The moment Delilah settled on the couch, Jodie’s gaze toward her underwent a transformation. A cold stare replaced the previous warmth.

Jodie had been subjected to her cruelty since childhood.

Before discovering her true identity, Jodie naively believed her mother harbored no love for her. In pursuit of that elusive affection, she went to great lengths.

It wasn’t until she crossed paths with Cindy, Owen, and Nicole that the revelation about her true parentage unfolded. Delilah was not her mother.

From that point on, Jodie’s character took a dark turn. She became willing to do anything to secure Wilfred’s love and the coveted status of being the cherished Newhouse heiress.

Jodie would go so far as to take a life if Delilah commanded it. She was ready to obey every whim.

Her existence felt like a precarious balancing act on a knife’s edge. Each step brought agony.

To cope, she redirected her frustrations onto Harvey whenever she felt upset. A model child in her parents’ presence, she transformed into a demon around Harvey.

She knew Harvey held the least significance in the family—he wasn’t Wilfred’s biological son. The Newhouses extended their generosity by making him one of their own.

Despite Delilah being his birth mother, he felt like a mistake to her. Wilfred’s constant use of Harvey as a threat resulted in fluctuating treatment from Delilah, who occasionally found herself feeling disgusted by him.

Jodie exploited this situation to torment him.

“Why are you standing there?” Delilah looked at Jodie in disgust. “Make me tea!”

Jodie promptly served her tea and moved behind the couch to massage Delilah’s shoulders. Only then did Delilah soften her frown.

She asked softly, “Mom, is dad really meeting Maisie?”

“Mm-hmm.”

“Aren’t you going to stop them?”

“Stop them?” Delilah scoffed. “Why should I? How is it bad for them to meet?”

Jodie hesitated before whispering, “I’m worried—”

“What are you worried about?!” Delilah interrupted her. “Your status?”

Jodie’s hands froze.

Delilah turned her head, her sharp eyes piercing through Jodie’s thoughts.

“Useless! The status of the Newhouse heiress doesn’t belong to you! God has been generous to let you be the little bitch’s substitute for over 20 years!”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

“Mom!” Jodie panicked.

Delilah scoffed, “To that old man, Maisie is Anya’s substitute! So I won’t stop them from meeting… Isn’t it better for him to fall for her?”

“W-What are you talking about?” Jodie widened her eyes in shock.

She was indeed useless, only fixated on securing her status.

Meanwhile, Delilah was plotting something else…

“Haha! Hahaha!” Delilah suddenly burst into hysterical laughter, sending chills down Jodie’s spine.

“Yes. I wonder if the amazing author Maisie can write such a plot herself. Hahaha!” She clenched her teeth. “I should’ve thought of this earlier! I should’ve brought Maisie to Wilfred instead of sending her Daniel’s way!”

Jodie paled from the scare, continuously backing off until she hit the wall.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
