Chapter 452

She stared at Tanya.

"Because of this, Hillary's father flew into a rage and we almost broke off the engagement...Although he
still married me later, my position in the Joneses was still very awkward! All of this was because of
you!"

Tanya clenched her fists.

"So, that's why you hate me so much?" Jill nodded.

"That's right.This is the truth behind what happened back then.Hillary elevated my status and allowed
me to marry into the Joneses, whereas your existence brought shame to me! Do you think I could have
still liked you?"

Tanya took a deep breath.

She suddenly understood why Jill treated her two daughters so differently.

She had always wondered why Jill had given birth to her if she didn't love her father or her.

Now, she finally knew the truth.

She lowered her eyes and slowly asked, "Why are suddenly telling me all of this now? Are you trying to
make me feel guilty?"

She sneered, "Because that's not going to happen" Jill, however, shook her head.

"No, I don't need you to feel guilty about it.I know you are innocent, but this is the truth .Whether you
feel guilty about it or not, this is the truth.It is also a fact that, because of you, I was unable to hold my



head up high in the Joneses for so many years! I came to you this time because I want to make peace
with you."

Tanya was taken aback.

"Make peace?"

"Yes.I'll let you off while you also let me off...We go our own separate ways in the future.How does that
sound?"

Tanya looked at the person in front of her.

She was very calm, and her thoughts were also very clear.

Her words made Tanya feel as if her heart had turned cold Tanya said, "I have nothing to do with you in
the first place.

Jill kept quiet for a while before she finally said, "You still have to promise me something"

Tanya knew that the highlight of the show was finally here.

Despite all the things that Jill said thus far, she was but just appealing to her emotionally.

The condition was what she truly wanted.

She said, "There is no way I'll ever write a letter of forgiveness.Not in this lifetime, not in the next"

Her words made Jill's eyes flash with hatred.

However, she quickly suppressed it and said, "I know you are heartless and don't care whether Hillary
lives or dies! So, I 'm not here for that."



"Then?"

Jill lowered her head.

"It's for my own sake.Tanya was taken aback.

Jill said, "Because of Hillary's incident, I am close to having no place in the Joneses anymore! That's
why I have to reconcile with you.You are at least Joel's girlfriend now, so you will be able to keep me
safe and worry-free in the Joneses."

Tanya:"?"

Seeing that she was about to speak, Jill cut her off at once and said, "No matter what happens, I am
the one who gave life to you.The fact that I am your mother will never change.Because of you, for so
many years, I wasn't able to enjoy life for even a day at the Joneses.Now that you have finally become
distinguished, why don't you let me ride off your coattails a little? If not...With a daughter like Hillary, the
Joneses are already in talks about having your Uncle Jones divorce me”

“I signed a prenuptial agreement when I married into the Joneses back then, so I can't take even a
penny with me after the divorce.If life really becomes hard for me, I would have to trouble you in the
end"

Tanya: For a while, she actually found herself at a loss as to what to say.

Jill got up and said aggressively, "I know you have someone spoiling you and loving you now, so you
are not afraid of anything.But I am your mother, the ties between the two of us will never be
severed.You cannot refuse me ,can you?"

Jill's calm words were different from the threats and promises she had made at the door.

She even chuckled softly.



"It's like what you said at the Smiths' house back then.You wish you could return your body to me...I
don't want your bones or blood.I just want you to make peace with me' Tanya looked at her.

She was a little puzzled and confused.

When Tanya returned to the Smiths, Joel and Nora were already waiting for her on the sofa.

When they saw her, they immediately asked nervously, "What did you talk about? Did she threaten you
again?"

"No.Tanya sat on the sofa and repeated Jill's words.She did not hide anything because of Jill's words.

She knew that things were not as simple as she had thought.

After hearing her words, Nora asked, "Did you reject her?"

Based on Tanya's personality, she would definitely reject her.

She was never one to be afraid of threats.

Tanya shook her head.

"Not yet.I said that I wanted to think about it.I wanted to ask Joel for his opinion, and she agreed"

Nora was stunned.

"Why would you suddenly say that?"

Tanya hesitated for a moment.

"I don't know if I'm being paranoid.

I keep feeling that something is wrong"



Nora and Joel looked at her.

Nora sensed something and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tanya sat on the sofa and continued, "Ever since I was young, Jill loved Hillary the most.I remember
one time when Hillary was sick, she stayed at the hospital all night.Later, even when she fell ill herself,
she still went to see Hillary”

"She definitely has a deep mother-daughter relationship with Hillary.I even felt jealous back then..."

Tanya frowned.

"I was really stunned when she suddenly came to say those words to me very calmly today.I never
expected that she would give up on Hillary!"

How could a woman who loved her daughter more than her own life give up on her in just two days?
What Jill had said today made sense.

It was the obvious choice for an absolute selfish person.

However, when this matter was placed on Jill, who was an extremely biased mother, there was
something strange about it.

At the very least, Tanya would not believe it! Joel frowned.

"Perhaps Hillary would be safer in prison if you reconcile with Jill?"

Tanya was puzzled.

"Perhaps?"

But she still felt that something was wrong.



Nora suddenly said, "Promise her and see what she plans to do next!"

Tanya:"?"

Joel glanced at Nora and said, "Yes, do according to what Nora says"

Tanya nodded.

"Alright, I'll call her back"

She took out her phone in front of Nora and Joel and called Jill.

The other party picked up quickly.

Jill's voice had a hint of nervousness that could not be detected.

"Have you thought it through? How was your discussion with Mr.Smith?"

Nora glanced at Tanya, and Tanya understood what she meant.

She replied unhappily, "We've discussed it.Joel agreed.From now on, tell everyone that we've
reconciled, alright? The Smiths don't want a troublesome person like you to keep bothering them
forever" Jill agreed.

"Okay, that's it.I'm hanging up"

After hanging up, Tanya looked at Nora and spread her hands.

Nora frowned.

The reason she had asked Tanya to suddenly agree to Jill' s request was that she remembered what
Brenda had said that afternoon.



She had to pay attention to the abnormality around her.

But why would Jill be trying to make peace? Nora said calmly, "Wait a while more.I think she will
definitely call again."

Half an hour later, just as Nora was suspecting that her judgment was wrong, Jill called.

Nora immediately sat up straight and motioned for Tanya to answer the call.

Jill's faint cries could be heard over the phone.

"Tanya, your Uncle Jones didn't believe that we had reconciled.He even beat me up..."

Tanya's expression did not change at all.

"So?"

Jill answered carefully, "So, can you help me explain to him?"

Tanya did not speak, but she let out a mocking laugh.

After a moment of silence, Jill said, "I know you might not want to come over.It's okay.I have another
way to show the public that we have indeed reconciled'

Tanya: "What way?"

Jill said, "Do you remember your uncle's cousin? He just graduated this year and is looking for a
job.Can you arrange something for him in the Smiths' company? That way, everyone will know that
we've reconciled.You don't have to say anything...This is just a small matter for the Smiths, right? Of
course, you don't have to arrange any key positions for him.He just has to be at the headquarters...At
the headquarters, it would show that I helped him find a job"



Nora:"??" This request was too mundane! She grimaced and nodded at Tanya.
