Chapter 122

Author: Cotton
Mark, who was once protective of Mia, now shattered her with his words and left her in ruins.

She didn't even realize when he'd left.

By the time she came back to her senses, she felt a chill down her spine.

"Mia, what's wrong?" Freddy came out of the house and saw her standing there, pale as a ghost.

His voice was filled with concern.

Mia buried herself in his arms and cried softly. "Mark is completely on Jessie's side now. I've been misunderstood. I really have. It was Jessie who teamed up with the higher-ups at York Enterprise to smear my reputation. I never faked those photos!"

Right now, the only person she could depend on was Freddy.

Mark would never believe her again. That left her with no choice but to use Freddy against Jessie.

If the Stewart family started to slowly accept Jessie, then Mia would be cast aside. She would become a real orphan.

She couldn't stand that thought.

She hated Jessie. If Jessie were dead, none of this would have happened. Mia would still be t

    If Jessie never existed, the Stewart family would've loved her for life. She wouldn't have ended up like this.Since they adopted her, why did they decide to have Jessie back?Jessie didn't have breakfast. She directly left the Stewart family estate. She sent David a message to tell him she might not be around for the next couple of days since she was going abroad for work.David told her not to worry and to focus on her work.She headed straight to the airport. Frank had messaged her, saying Jack had already assigned a new project to the R&D department, but they'd have to wait for the design team to finish the logo before it was transferred to them.Jessie arrived at the airport. She planned to grab breakfast first. But as soon as the taxi stopped, she saw Ronny, Jack, and even Harry.She walked over stiffly, not sparing Jack a glance. "Why are you all here?""They're heading to Yorvenia for fun. Since we're going to Turnaria, and Veronna Palace is covering three meals a day, t

    Mia was rambling. She looked utterly worn out.Jessie guessed she hadn't slept a wink the night before.Since they were kids, whenever Mia made a mistake, the Stewart family would side with her. Even when she hit someone with a car, they had forced Jessie to take the blame.But now, the very people who once defended and loved her no longer stood by her. They had started to resent her, exposing her lies one after another. For her, this must have felt like being cut open slowly with a dull blade.To be despised by those who had once protected her unconditionally must have been unbearable.The truth was, the only reason she could bully Jessie back then was that the Stewart family had blindly defended her. Now, without that blind protection, she was like a lamb waiting for slaughter.She didn't even know when she might be cast out of the Stewart family.To make things worse, because she had framed Jessie, Jack had blacklisted her in the industry. Any major company wouldn't dare hire

    In all honesty, Mia's position had only been swapped with Jessie's.Each time something like this happened, Mark was part of it.He used to bully Jessie, and now his target was Mia. Of course, Mia deserved it. She played her cards poorly despite having a good hand.Jessie didn't feel sorry for Mia.She played with her phone for a while in her room. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.Jessie thought it was David, and she immediately opened the door. When she saw Laura instead, her expression turned stiff. "What do you want?""Jessie, I've been thinking about this. Why don't we go on a family trip in two weeks? You can decide where we go."Laura wanted to make it up to Jessie.She truly felt guilty today. She hadn't expected Mia to lie about her depression too.Jessie had said she'd gone to see the flag-raising ceremony. Laura knew she had always cared about their promise."Forget it. I'm busy with work."Jessie rejected the offer without even considering it.She was about

    Freddy's expression darkened. With a cold snort, he brushed past Jessie and left."Freddy–" Mia, terrified of Mark, quickly called out."What are you calling him for? Afraid we'll eat you alive? If you're not guilty, then tomorrow you'll come with me and Henry to the hospital." Mark kept pressing her.Mia's eyes brimmed with tears. Her expression was extremely pitiful."Mark, do you really have to push me this hard?" she choked out."Oh, please. All I'm asking is for you to get a checkup. How is that me pushing you? Weren't you the one who told everyone in this family you had depression?"Mark actually let out a bitter laugh.What was so difficult about getting tested and proving him wrong?That only proved she'd been lying this whole time.David, watching Mia bite her lip as tears spilled down her cheeks, finally asked, "Mia, you weren't lying about this, were you?"The words made Laura's expression shift. "Don't tell me you used an illness like this to deceive us?""I-I re

    "Mark, I wasn't being selfish–"Mia could no longer handle Mark's vicious words. She started crying.As tears spilled from her eyes, she looked up at Mark and stammered, "I couldn't find Savory Kitchen, so I ordered soup from another place on the app. I really didn't mean to lie. I just wanted Mom to love me more."Mark wanted to speak further, but Laura stopped him. "Forget it. Maybe she really didn't mean it.""Mom, you have to believe I didn't do it on purpose. I only lied because Jessie came back, and I felt insecure–"While crying, Mia looked at Laura and tried to act pitiful.For the first time, Mark realized just how infuriating her fake sobs and pitiful act really were.His anger boiled over as he pointed at her and threatened, "Go ahead, lie again if you dare! You claim you couldn't find Savory Kitchen on the delivery app? Funny, because I just searched for it. Five years as a top-rated shop. How the hell did you miss it?""Enough! Do you have to press her this hard?"

    Nala brought out the soup and set it in front of Laura.Mark sat across from Laura. He leaned back in his chair and sized up the little place.After a while, he asked Nala, who was rinsing kitchenware, "Jessie used to come here a lot, didn't she?""Yeah. After school she'd often stop by, sit for a bit, and take a bowl of soup home. You're her family, right? She hasn't been here in three years. Where did she go?" Nala asked with a warm smile.Mark didn't answer. Instead, a wave of discomfort rose in him.Jessie went missing for three years because she went to prison in Mia's place.Laura took a sip of the soup, and her eyes immediately welled with tears.What Mia bought home before didn't taste right. Only Jessie's order carried this taste.Mark glanced at her lowered head and sorrowful face. He muttered, "Still think I shouldn't call Mia out? She lies as naturally as breathing. If she can deceive you over something this small, who knows how much worse the bigger lies are?"Lau
