Chapter 946: An Old Trick (part two)

"Are you Miss Xue? Why did you ask me to meet you here?" Cynthia studied Jessica with a look of suspicion. Somehow, a strange feeling took possession of her. This Miss Xue seemed familiar both in her appearance and behavior. But Cynthia was quite sure that she had never met Miss Xue before. She wondered why Miss Xue wanted to see her. Miss Xue even threatened to hurt Daisy if the proposed meeting was refused. That frightened Cynthia. She wondered why Miss Xue was so desperate in asking a meeting with her that she would threaten Daisy. How much did she know about her family? Although Daisy was Cynthia's daughter-in-law, she treated Daisy like her daughter. She would do everything to protect Daisy. It seemed Miss Xue knew well how she felt about Daisy, and was confident that she could call this meeting for Daisy's life on the line.

"Actually, this is not our first meeting, Mrs. Mu." Cynthia still looked young. Her beautiful face and slender figure aroused jealousy in Jessica's heart. To cover up her envy, Jessica looked at Cynthia in a cold manner. She barely held it together.

"Who are you? Should I know you?" Cynthia took her seat in Jessica's opposite. Wearing delicate make-up and dressing herself up gorgeously, Cynthia looked like a lady enlivened from a Renaissance picture. Her graceful behavior added to her noble air.

"Aha, what a terrible memory you have, Mrs. Mu. I never imagined you'd forget me so easily. I'm your son's ex. You should remember me. Your son gave me a baby, and I almost gave birth to it." Jessica could not help but feel hurt when she spoke of the baby she lost. She no longer had feelings for Edward, but the wound of the miscarriage was still raw. After all, it used to be part of herself. That miscarriage had even made her infertile. The wound which would never heal, only left her with everlasting agony.

"You're Jessica. But you look so different." Cynthia finally realized Miss Xue's true identity by her mentioning of the baby. How could it be possible for her to forget Jessica and her miscarried baby. She had claimed that the baby was her grandchild after all, though Cynthia knew that it was not true.

"Hmm! You'd better ask your son what happened to my face. He ruined my original face, so I had to have plastic surgeries to get a new one. But do you know how painful and disgusting it is to wear a face that isn't mine? I would not have borne all the suffering and agony but for your son's ruthless actions!" Jessica trashed Edward in Cynthia's presence through clenched teeth. She grew more vengeful and more vicious every time she recalled her pitiful past.

"Oh, what a sad story! But I think you deserved all this. You destroyed Daisy's face first. Otherwise, Edward would not have destroyed yours. He loves his wife dearly.So you just harvested what you had sown. You are the only one whom you can blame for your pain. It's ridiculous that you hold others responsible for your own mistakes." Cynthia spoke calmly, although Jessica's insanity was extremely absurd. Actually, there was no trace of anger on Cynthia's face. She was quite composed. In Cynthia's opinion, Jessica was so shameful that she didn't deserve her contempt. There was no need to be angry over the behavior of a madwoman.

"But Daisy stole Edward from me. He loved me. He was mine. Daisy and I would never have met. Our lives were two parallel lines. Edward would never have dumped me if not for her. Do you know how much I did to keep Edward? But everything I did turned out to be a joke when she came into Edward's life. I lost Edward, the man I loved with all my heart and soul. Woman to woman, would you just keep silent and watch your lover leave?" Jessica sneered. Like a sharp knife, Cynthia's indifference gave Jessica a stabbing pain. But there was no reason to bare her soul to her. How could Cynthia understand her woeful past since she was not the one who suffered?

"You foolish, foolish girl. Daisy didn't come between you and Edward, because they were married before. They were a couple before you ever came into the picture. You were the one that got in their way, not the other way around. Quit behaving like the innocent victim. I won't stand for it." Cynthia almost never spoke up for Daisy, or defended her. But this time, she had to step in. A woman like Jessica had no right to trash Daisy.

Mrs. Mu, do you really believe that Edward and Daisy love each other? If they really love each other, then how was I able to win Edward's heart and have a relationship with him? So don't treat Daisy as the innocent victim. As Edward's wife, she had the responsibility of keeping an eye on her husband. It was her own fault that her husband betrayed her and their marriage. And if it happened once, it can happen again.She should ask herself why Edward got bored of her and looked for another woman. If she were perfect I would have had no chance, but that's not what happened. Daisy is a loser. She is responsible for Edward cheating. But she's a hypocrite to act like she had nothing to do with Edward's betrayal. Every one of you has treated her like some precious princess. You'd better wake up, Mrs. Mu. That woman is a snake in disguise. One day she will bite you."

Jessica envied Daisy for her popularity. Everyone viewed Daisy as diamond while Jessica was a rock on the side of the road. She was only needed when someone needed to rest on that rock. Once their needs were satisfied, she would be kicked away.

Daisy is hypocritical. You really think so, Jessica? But as far as I'm concerned, you are the most hypocritical woman I've ever met. Do you agree? Daisy is my daughter-in-law. I know what type of woman she is. Even if she hurts me in the future as you said, I will not blame it on her. I will do everything I can to protect her, and she deserves it," said Cynthia coldly. But her calm tones only upset Jessica even more. It was unbearable that her suffering and agony meant nothing in others' eyes.

"I have made a mistake reaching out to you. Since you are stupid enough to have Daisy as your daughter-in-law, then you must pay. What other advice can I give you?"said Jessica. She stared at Cynthia in a cold manner, expecting to see her get enraged. But not a wrinkle was furrowed on Cynthia's forehead. She had retained her aloof attitude ever since the beginning of their conversation. Jessica finally became enraged, and her plan to anger and humiliate Cynthia had failed. She was no more than a joke in Cynthia's eyes.

Mind your own business, Jessica. The affairs of the Mu family have nothing to do with you. Please stop poking your nose into our business. You haven't learned too much from your past experience, have you? Do you want me to teach you another lesson? Or you really think that I'm stupid enough to know nothing about why you were trying to meet with me?" Cynthia flashed a charming smile at Jessica. It resembled the one on Edward's face so much. Obviously, that was a trait inherited from his mother.
