Chapter 204

Yeva accidentally slipped out a chuckle at the sight of Zane’s ridiculous and pathetic behavior. Finally
getting himself off the floor, Zane seethed in pain as his fury sprung to life. “You brat, get the hell over
here! How dare you hit your mom!”

“She is not my mom, my mom is already dead!” Leah shouted at the top of her lungs. Zane froze. He
was shocked that his daughter who had always listened well to him was actually yelling at him.

“You…you’ve finally lost it, haven’t you?” With her eyes red-rimmed, Leah who was standing behind
Sage walked up to them.

“Is it me who’s gone mad or are you guys the ones?”

“Dad, Gwyneth is not my mom. My mom is Ryleigh Tessa, do you even remember her name? Or how
she looks? Do you even remember how she ended up dead?” At the sight of Zane flinching and
backing away flusteredly, Leah chuckled softly but her laugh was filled with sarcasm and scorn.

“You don’t remember any of it, do you? Well, I would’ve guessed so. Seeing how you haven’t been
really alone for the past few years, changing your partner every other month like changing your clothes.
That woman, Gwyneth Holst, just because she gave you a son, you’re giving her everything she asks
for and is circling your life around her. You must have forgotten that she is the one who forced my mom
to death!” “What are you talking about?” Zane’s pupils shook as he went on, “Your mom killed herself!
What does Gwyneth have to do with her death?” Leah’s expression hardened. “You are still protecting
that woman, aren’t you?!” “You made my mom’s life a living hell ever since she got married to you. She
didn’t care when you partied outside all night long but you crossed the line when you took that witch
back to our place!”



Her eyes filled with resentment and contempt, Leah seethed, “You hired her as your secretary, allowing
her to walk in and out of our house as she pleases. Mom only started getting sick because that woman
kept appearing in front of us!” “Don’t be ridiculous! What nonsense is this!” Zane denied bluntly, “Your
mom got diagnosed with cancer because of her family history. She simply got unlucky! What does this
have to do with me?!”

“If it weren’t for you and Gwyneth provoking and triggering her every other day, her sickness wouldn’t
have worsened that quickly. Tell me the truth now, you desperately wanted her to die faster so that you
can marry that witch, didn’t you?!” Leah felt a wrenching pain in her chest as tears ran down her
cheeks uncontrollably.

She felt bad for her mother.

Sage was staring coldly at Zane. She knew that her aunt passed away because of cancer and they
only found out that Ryleigh had cancer when she was at the last stage. But Sage did not know that her
cancer was partly triggered by Zane and his new wife.

One would know that mental health and physical health are deeply intertwined. One’s mood is the
bridge between one’s mental health and one’s physical health. 1 1 When Jace brought Sienna back to
their home to take care of her, Sage was already on the verge of breaking down, let alone her aunt had
to witness her husband going in and out of their house with another woman. No woman would be able
to withstand such humiliation and betrayal.

Men are fickle-minded whereas women suffer from woes and life is just unfair but what can one do
about it?

Hence, anyone should live happily without the presence of another man. Zane felt as if his pride was
being trampled on by her daughter. With a darkened expression, he scorned, “This is about you and
your step-mother, why are you bringing up the past? I will not be swayed by what you said.” “Don’t



worry, I have zero expectations for you.” With no expression on her face, Leah stared coldly at her
father and went on, “All these years, you took no care about me and you turned a blind eye to all those
nasty and horrible things that Gwyneth had done to me. And all of a sudden, you’re taking an interest in
me?”

It was all too late.

“I am your father! I can control you whenever I want to. I can hit you or scold you whenever I like, and
what can you do about it?” Zane retorted.
