Chapter 275 Do Whatever It Takes to Get Him

Cora grabbed Mrs. Gwylan’s hand and said, “Mom, I’m still your little sweetheart.”

Mrs. Gwylan pulled her hand away and said, “Cora, you let me calm down first. You have become so
unfamiliar that even I feel scared.”

Cora struggled to get up from the bed, and Mrs. Gwylan screamed, “Don’t move!”

Cora froze in fright. Her eyes were red in an instant, and she said at a loss, “Mom, what’s wrong?”

Mrs. Gwylan irritably stripped her hair, completely missing the dignity of a noblewoman.

“Cora, don’t say anything now. Mom is very confused. Seeing you become like this for a man, I feel
sadder than anyone else. The daughter I cherish has become so scheming. Seriously, I don’t know
whether to be happy or sad. If possible, I really want to slap you hard and shake you awake. You are
the heir of the Fletcher Group. I felt so heartbroken that you have condescended to such a level for a
man.”

Cora’s tears were like broken raindrops, flowing incessantly.

“Mom, I didn’t. I just...”

“Don’t talk first. You make Mom feel very unfamiliar. Since childhood, I have given you the best. Your
food, clothing, schools, and teachers are all excellent. You also live up to my expectations and become
the best. But in a place where I can’t see, you have learned to calculate people, which makes me feel
scared. To get what you want, you even calculate your family. Occasionally, I’m actually very
disappointed. I don’t know what went wrong in my teaching to make you like this.”

“Mom, don’t say that.”

Mrs. Gwylan’s voice became very shrill with passion.



“Cora, Mom loves you. You are my only daughter. I don’t want you to lose your heart for a man. I want
you to be a strong and independent woman. I didn’t let you be full of scheming, and I didn’t let you even
calculate your mother.”

Cora grabbed Mrs. Gwylan’s hand and said anxiously, “Mom, don’t say that. I will never dare to do this
again, really. I just love Zach too much. I don’t want to lose him.”

Mrs. Gwylan’s chest heaved with passion.

At this time, there was a noise from the door lock. But both of them were agitated, so they did not hear
the sound of the door being opened.

Zachariah walked in from the outside, but before he got closer, Mrs. Gwylan’s voice came, “Cora, I was
pregnant before you were born. No one can match my love for you. I have been teaching you
wholeheartedly, but I didn’t expect that you would become like this today. You asked me to get rid of the
child in Ophelia’s belly. I actually feel a little cold about it. The child I raised has become so... I would
rather these words came out of my mouth.”

Cora was in tears, but said maliciously, “Mom, Zach is mine, and Ophelia is just my stand-in. Now I’m
back, so she should quit wisely. As for the child, I don’t think Zach will want him. I’m just making the
decision for him. Am I wrong?”

Mrs. Gwylan took a deep breath and said earnestly, “Cora, why don’t you understand? Mom doesn’t
want you to become a woman who can only calculate others. You are an excellent woman. Mom never
thought that one day you would become a terrible person.”

Cora roared with passion, “Mom, I’ve had enough of pretending to be a kind woman in front of a man.
In private, I’m just being myself. What’s wrong with that?”



Mrs. Gwylan sighed and said, “Cora, you have to understand my pains. To secure the position of the
hostess of the Fletcher family, I once also paid a great price. In the end, I enjoyed honor and
distinction, but I could never become the most important person in your father’s heart. I don’t want you
to end up not being yourself for a man.”

Cora lowered her head and said, “Mom, I don’t care. I only need the man I love to stay by my side.
Does it matter whether his heart is there or not?”

Mrs. Gwylan looked at her in surprise, her eyes flashing with incredulity.

“Cora, why do you have this idea?”

“Mom, I don’t think I was wrong. Since I love him, what’s wrong with getting him by any means? It
doesn’t matter whether he loves me or not. What I want is for him to stay by my side and grow old with
me. Who won’t say that I am the winner?” Cora said firmly.

Mrs. Gwylan was shocked.

“Mom, don’t blame your daughter for being cruel. All I want is for Zachariah to stay by my side
obediently. As long as he doesn’t want to go back to Ophelia, I won’t get rid of the child in her belly.”

Mrs. Gwylan only felt that the whole body was cold.

She found that her daughter was even crueler than her. She didn’t know whether to be sad or happy.

Cora grabbed Mrs. Gwylan’s hand and said, “Mom, I’m your only daughter. No matter what decision I
make, you will be on my side, right?”

Mrs. Gwylan sighed deeply and said, “Cora, I’ve loved you since you were a kid. I’ve given you the best
I could. I hold up a sky for you because I don’t want you to see the bad side. But I didn’t expect you...”



Cora said, “Mom, I don’t think there is anything wrong with me. I just do whatever it takes to get what I
like. As long as he is happy, I will be fine. I can’t do this. Since I like him, why should I hypocritically let
him go?”

Mrs. Gwylan fell into silence.
