Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1845

"Absolutely not!" Cindy protested vehemently. "Listen, let me explain. I really couldn't find an opportunity. Daniel—"

"Don't use Daniel as an excuse!" Jodie lost her composure. "No matter how capable he is, can he stay by that despicable girl's side 24/7? Can he manipulate everything? It's just that you don't want to find an opportunity!"

Jodie gave her a sidelong glance and taunted sarcastically, "Could it be that my biological mother, who raised someone else's child, has developed feelings for that child?"

"What are you saying?!" Cindy was distressed and angry.

How had she treated Jodie all these years? Even if she found it nearly impossible to see her daughter, she still willingly overcame obstacles just to catch a glimpse of her.

Even when faced with Jodie's coldness, Cindy continued to meet her with a smiling face. If Jodie was unhappy, Cindy would be willing to give her everything she had.

That was because she was her daughter, born from her own body—her flesh and blood! It wasn't that she didn't cherish her child or favored boys over girls. She just treated Maisie differently.

Yet, now Jodie was saying... she had feelings for Maisie?

Cindy couldn't help feeling sad and disappointed.

"Okay..." After a while, she took a deep breath and nodded. "Don't worry, I'll try to find another opportunity. But Jojo, you also need to understand that opportunities aren't easy to come by. Maisie now has Daniel supporting her. She's much more resilient and doesn't even regard me as her mother!

"Jojo, if you want to get rid of her, I'll have to find another way—"

"Who are you planning to get rid of?" Suddenly, a sharp voice interrupted from behind.

Jodie and Cindy froze, turning around to face Delilah's icy gaze.
