After Felicia Preston and David Lawrence adopted little Julia Lawrence, the atmosphere at ho improved for quite a while.
Back then, Felicia was very fond of Julia, because little Julia was intelligent, well-behaved, and sensible, plus Felicia couldn’t have children; even if she could, they might not be as clever and sensible as Julia.
Moreover, there was a significant chance of inheriting her father’s family ntal illness.
But soon, issues began to erge.
It seed David Lawrence didn’t see Julia as his own daughter.
The first ti Felicia noticed this was when Julia was about ten years old. Discovering such an immoral situation, Felicia’s first reaction was disgust, and then she hurried to check if her daughter had been violated by her father.
After the event, Felicia caused an uproar.
She couldn’t accept such a twisted and disgusting relationship and once thought of divorce, planning to live alone with Julia.
But she still loved her husband.
After all, as the infertile party, Felicia felt guilty.
But soon, an incident made her guilt vanish, turning into resentnt.
She went to a hospital for a check-up, and the doctor told her she was never the one who couldn’t conceive; it was her husband.
In other words, everyone had been lying to her, letting her marry a man who was infertile and ntally ill, adopting a daughter, and her husband never loved her. His twisted penchant was evident in his peculiar concern for their daughter.
"From that day on, Felicia seed to beco a different person," Old Wang said heavily. "She started to beat and scold little Julia, forbidding David Lawrence to protect her. At first, I thought she was indirectly protecting Julia, preventing David from touching her, but later I realized she was genuinely jealous of and hated Julia."
Hearing Old Wang’s words, Evelyn Clayton was at a loss for words.
However, this explanation did make sense of various oddities before.
"No wonder, today I noticed David Lawrence wasn’t acting right..." Evelyn Clayton pinched her brow. "Initially, I thought it was because of Julia’s passing, and the blow was too much for him."
Old Wang’s face clearly showed so disdain, "He isn’t at all, that kind of person... doesn’t even deserve to be called a man, always pretending to be a good guy."
Evelyn Clayton sighed silently, "Old Wang, thank you for telling all this. Don’t worry, I won’t tell a third person about this, and please keep it to yourself, don’t let anyone else know, alright?"
"Director Clayton, you are a good boss." Old Wang’s eyes turned red, "I know that girl Julia wronged you, but still... on her behalf, I apologize to you."
Evelyn Clayton felt a mixture of emotions in her heart.
The person is already dead, and recovering many grievances is impossible.
"I can’t say it’s okay because I truly treated her as my partner before," Evelyn Clayton said softly, "but I, as a fellow woman, I can understand her."
Speaking, Evelyn Clayton couldn’t help but say, "Still, there’s one thing I can’t understand."
"Why did she choose this place to jump to her death?"
Upon hearing this, even Old Wang showed a look of confusion.
"That, I’m not sure either." Old Wang looked anxious, "Before she jumped, I contacted her several tis, and she didn’t answer the phone."
This almost beca an unsolved mystery.
Because Julia’s actions were too strange, choosing this place was almost like deliberately tarnishing Gem’s reputation.
Yet Evelyn Clayton always felt that Julia wouldn’t go that far...
