Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 1861

Harvey glared at him and then turned to run away.

Toph stood frozen, but Harvey had already run far ahead by the time he reacted. He spent a while in the banquet hall but found it uninteresting. He wanted to find Harvey but was clueless about the convoluted layout of the Newhouses’ hotel. All he could do was wander around like a headless fly, searching here and there.

At the same time, Jodie and Cindy were arguing in the lounge.

“Stop!” Jodie’s tone was agitated. “You keep asking me for money repeatedly. Do you see me as an ATM? What kind of mother are you?!”

“Jojo!” Cindy almost knelt down, pleading, “Your brother’s situation is terrible now… He’s suffering so much in that rehab center! The Newhouses have connections. Can’t you spend some money to get him out? He also has Type 2 diabetes and can’t bear it anymore!”

“And how’s that my concern?” Jodie’s gaze was full of anger and despair.

She even felt some empathy for Maisie. Over so many years, Cindy hadn’t asked her for money often, yet even then, she found it unbearable.

What about Maisie? For years, she endured Cindy’s ceaseless demands, even sacrificing her innocence just to fill that bottomless pit left by Owen.

However, Maisie was relatively fortunate to have Daniel. If it had been someone else, she might have perished long ago.

Once Jodie thought about how Maisie’s life for the past two decades should have been hers, she shuddered, feeling even more disgusted with Cindy.

She glanced at Cindy, and as soon as Cindy tried to hold her hand, she violently shook it off!

“Get lost!” Jodie’s eyes were burning with anger. “I don’t want to see you again, and I don’t want anything to do with you!”

“Jojo, you can’t be like this!” Cindy cried and pleaded, “I’m your mother, and that’s a fact that can’t change! If you turn a blind eye to your brother, aren’t you afraid of retribution?”

“Retribution?” Jodie sneered after her initial shock. “It looks like you’re the one who’ll face retribution! In your heart, there’s only your son, never anyone else! Before, you used the money Maisie sold herself to save him. Now, you’re thinking of my money?

“Shame on you!” Jodie spat, pushing and hitting. “I’m not your daughter. Don’t try to harm me! I’m not your daughter!”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

“Jojo, you can’t be like this!” Cindy begged, “You’re Owen’s biological sister, not Maisie!”

“Shut up!” Jodie was hysterical, her face pale. Suddenly, a sharp pain came from her abdomen, causing her to bend over. Her teeth chattered uncontrollably.

Cindy was startled and hurriedly went to support her. “Jojo, you…”

Sweat dotted Jodie’s forehead. She knew she was having an attack. Her health had been deteriorating lately. Once her emotions surged, she felt this tearing pain all over her body.

She just dared not show a trace of it. Wilfred and Anya were both healthy. If her condition was found out, it would raise Wilfred’s suspicion. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

In that case, all that wealth and status she wanted to keep would be gone!

Jodie bit her lip hard, trembling as she reached into her bag and pulled out a vial of injection. With Cindy’s help, she struggled to find the vein and injected herself…

The insulin quickly took effect, and Jodie gradually calmed down. Just as she was about to get up, she spotted Harvey, who had been standing at the door for quite some time!

Something seemed to explode in her mind, shattering her hopes for a better life. “You—”

“So, you really aren’t our parents’ biological daughter!” Harvey’s smile was cold with a mocking hint. “My sister is really Maisie!”
