Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 577

Ann's eyes were wide with disbelief as she listened to Leah. "Leah, I never wanted to get back at you. I had no clue about the kids being switched."

Leah wasn't buying it. "Are you serious? Your husband swapped the kids on purpose. You're telling me you weren't in on it?"

Feeling utterly helpless, Ann tried to explain, "It was all John's idea. I honestly didn't know a thing. Years later, I discovered Xixi's blood type didn't match ours. Both my husband and I are type A, but Xixi's type B. Even with my limited education, I know two type A parents don't have a type B child."

Leah smirked, "Well, John's gone now, and there's no way to prove anything. You can say whatever you like."

Ann lowered her head, silent for what felt like ages. Deep down, Leah had started to believe her.

After a long pause, Ann spoke up, "No matter what, the way Xixi turned out is mostly my fault. I'm sorry to you, and I'm sorry to Xixi. I messed up; it’s all on me."

Leah sprang to her feet, emotions running high. "Ann, after all these years, how haven't you learned? Why do you always take on all the blame? When I said you deceived me, let your mom cozy up to my dad, knowingly helped in tricking me, tried to wreck my family, took my dad, or caused my mom's death, why didn't you defend yourself?"

"Why do you just accept everything I say?"

Tears welled up in Ann's eyes. "Leah, I don't have anything to say. You've done a great job raising my daughter, and whatever you think of me is fair. If there's anything I can do to make it right, I'm willing."

Leah slumped down in a chair, feeling drained. People don't change easily. Just like Ann. And Leah wasn't much different. She wondered if she could have held up like Leah did. If her life mirrored her experiences, she’d have crumbled long ago.

"I've got nothing to say to you," Leah said, and with that, she left. Sitting in her car, Leah couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. She hurried home.
