Chapter 1108: Chapter 1080: It’s Not Too Late Chapter 1108: Chapter 1080: It’s Not Too Late Kiara’s sweater seed simple in style but had an excellent fit, with only delicately embroidered patterns on the sleeves’ sides, understated yet exuding luxury. Renee Wong rembered she had seen this piece in a magazine; it was from so high-end brand, and its price could buy several of the gold bracelets she longed for.
Just one piece of clothing made Renee Wong realize that this was the true deanor a wealthy daughter-in-law should possess. Her previous notion of how “rich people” should carry themselves seed vulgar and childish by comparison.
Taste is sothing money can’t change, and even though Renee Wong had once co so close to wealth, in the end, it was all for naught.
Kiara saw Renee Wong staring at her silently and didn’t hurry to speak. She pulled up a chair, sat by the bed, and watched Renee Wong with an indifferent expression.
At this point, Kiara saw no need to kick soone who was already down. The look she gave Renee Wong was no different than the one she would give to a stranger.
Kiara was very clear that once she walked out of this door and today passed, they might never see each other again in this lifeti. She had no reason to trouble a woman who had nothing left.
“Emma Clark, seeing like this, you must be gloating inside, right?”
“Not at all.”
“Not at all? The things I’ve done, your Old Yates People must hate , especially this ti…” Renee Wong said bitterly. She didn’t understand how she had managed to play her good hand so poorly.
“Don’t overestimate your worth. You’re not worth our hatred,” Kiara replied, seemingly calm but also indifferent.
That one sentence easily widened the gap between Renee Wong and her. Mrs. Kiara wasn’t purposefully stepping on anyone; she was rely stating facts. After today, it would be impossible for Renee Wong to cling to the Old Yu Moores again.
Renee Wong was stunned for a few seconds. With her character, she should have felt very angry, feeling looked down upon, but at that mont, her heart felt empty. Having faced life and death and seen how Kiara dealt with bad situations, Renee Wong realized that she and Emma Clark, who represented the Old Yu Moores, had long surpassed insurmountable barriers.
They were never on the sa level, separated by myriad thoughts. How could she have naively thought she could shake the Old Yates Family and use it to vent the anger from being forced to leave her position?
“Actually, I know you all look down on … Emma Clark, I called you here because I have sothing to ask you. Please, out of consideration for leaving soon, can you help solve this confusion in my heart?”
“Speak.”
“Do you think people really can be reborn after they die?”
The words “rebirth” coming from Renee Wong’s mouth caught the previously indifferent Kiara off guard, bringing a trace of alertness to her eyes.
Could it be that Renee Wong knew sothing?
Renee Wong, seeming not to notice Kiara’s reaction, looked up at the ceiling with a perplexed gaze, voicing her dilemma.
“Actually, a while ago, I read a romance novel from the Bay Area, which told the story of a girl who, after dying, went back to her teenage years and started a brand-new life. She rectified the regrets of her past life and kept the husband she had in her forr life. I was deeply moved after reading it.”
At that ti, online novels hadn’t beco popular, and there were only so short stories from abroad. This the, however, would beco very popular later on.
Now, hearing about it, it felt like a completely new concept.
“Novels are always fictional,” Kiara said seriously as she looked at Renee Wong, hoping to find so hint or clue in her expression.
“Yes, they’re all fake…” Renee Wong sighed. She knew all too well that books were fictitious, yet reaching the point she was at in life, she felt even breathing was difficult. She always thought of the good old days, unwilling to face reality and seeking solace only in novels.
“Emma Clark, I wanted to see you to ask you sothing. If reincarnation really existed and I could go back to the beginning, if I repented and strived to be a good woman, would there be any possibility for and Indra Yuno?”
Renee Wong had insisted on eting Kiara just to ask this question. She knew there was no such thing as reincarnation as fantastical as that, but she always felt a void and yearned for an answer.
Previously, she did not trust Kiara, but having seen Kiara’s ability to deal with bad people, Kiara had beco an absolute authority in Renee Wong’s heart.
“Do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to hear sothing comforting?” Kiara was relieved when she heard this. It seed Renee Wong didn’t know about her own matters; she just wanted to resolve so doubts in her heart.
“Of course, I want to hear the truth. I know you might not believe what I say, and actually, I never intended to harm elder Brother; it was all my mom…” Renee Wong wanted to defend herself, but she felt that whatever she said now, no one would believe her.
“I believe you. Continue,” Kiara said.
“Sotis, when I can’t sleep, I obsessively think over and over again. If I could go back to my younger days and live well with Second Brother, adhere strictly to won’s virtues, would I not have ended up in my current situation?”
“Since you want the truth, I’ll tell you. Although so rebirth novels repeatedly emphasize the the of repentance, personally, I find it very distasteful. First of all, in these novels, the love the female leads have for the male leads is not true love. Rather than loving the male lead, they are more in love with the wealth and status he attains later on. If it were true love, how could they have done all those despicable things at the beginning? Have you ever seen a loving person be deceitful, lazy, greedy, and slippery? Using other n to humiliate their own husbands?”
Kiara’s words were sharp, shocking Renee Wong so much that she almost couldn’t catch her breath, but Kiara was not targeting her; she was just discussing the matter as it was.
“The term repentance itself is satirical. To pursue wealth and a man, one becos obsessed, changes her personality, and tries to please the man’s family, becoming all sorts of virtuous to please the man, even to the point of humbling oneself. Is that really love? Renee Wong, let tell you, even a bad person like you has her own character. No love is built on distorting oneself to cater to others, so repentance is a pseudo-proposition.”
“I don’t really understand what you an… Are you saying, a woman like will never be worthy of true happiness?” Renee Wong asked in despair.
“Of course not. I have always believed that a woman’s happiness lies in her own struggle. If you want happiness, you must first understand the aning of life. Whether you are a good person or a bad one, those are just labels given by others. The ultimate purpose of our lives might just be to amuse ourselves in various ways. If you truly have that repentant heart, there’s no need to die first and bend over backward to please others. If you start striving now, it’s not too late.”
“It’s not too late?” Renee Wong asked in astonishnt, as she had already reached a dead end in life.
