Shining Bright After Rebirth (Diana and Steven) novel Chapter 810

Chapter 810 Heartless Daughter

She forced a smile. "Diana, let's go upstairs. No matter what happens, I'm ready to accept it."

Diana put on her mask, tied her hair back in a ponytail, and pushed her up the stairs, with Luna discreetly keeping watch over them.

Soon, they arrived at the women's department on the third floor. Lily's heart sank as she spotted Jean linked arm-in-arm with Amelie, sharing a moment as they browsed clothes together. In that instant, it felt as if all the blood in her body had turned to ice.

Lily's eyes were locked on the two, watching Jean chat with Amelie, their bond as intimate as that of mother and daughter.

Her heart raced painfully, a sharp ache seizing her.

The daughter she had raised with such care was now so close to another woman.

She had never imagined Jean could have such a relationship with Amelie.

Her hand trembled slightly on the armrest of her wheelchair as she stared.

Now, she believed everything Diana had said. While she had been guiding Jean, Amelie had been driving a wedge between them.

She had thought Jean was simply rebellious, believing that patience would bring about change.

But she was wrong. Some people were just heartless.

Years of love had been squandered on two ungrateful children, not to mention her husband.

She had thought Jean was acting out, never realizing there was a third party involved.

Jean had been careful, never letting anything slip in front of her.

Amelie smiled lovingly at her, gently stroking her hair. "You look beautiful in anything. This dress is short, sexy, and fits you perfectly. Let's get it."

"Great! You're the best! I'm glad my mom is gone. She never let me wear stuff like this. She always said clubs are dangerous. But young people today are so open-minded! I was always stuck at home, but now that she's gone, I feel so free. You'll be my mom now, right? When are you and Dad getting married? I can't wait to live with you!"

Each word from Jean pierced Lily's heart like a knife.

Jean had longed for Amelie to take her mother's place.

With her head down, tears streamed down her face. At that moment, she accepted the painful reality, her heart aching.

After a moment, she heard Amelie reply, "Sweetheart, I want that too, but I need to sort out your mom's situation before I can marry your dad."

"Even in death, she won't leave us in peace. Don't worry. I'll handle it. Tomorrow, I'll report Diana again for killing my mom. We've found new evidence, and everything points to her. Once we wrap up Mom's case, our family of four can finally be happy together."
