Chapter 354: Thirty-four Calculations
Upon hearing Mandy’s words, even Hewinia, who had experienced countless similar instances, could not help but reveal a look of surprise.
Whether it was Arianna or Daphne before, Hewinia had so expectations, but she had never considered “Mother” Mandy.
After all, the persona of a silly big sister with no knowledge that Mandy had always shown was deeply etched in Hewinia’s heart.
To the point that when Mandy spoke those words, Hewinia didn’t know whether her long-standing disguise was rely a joke or if Mandy’s disguise was a level higher; was her cunning deeper than hers?
Hewinia couldn’t tell, really couldn’t tell, but she still clenched the Magic Wand hidden in her sleeve, maintaining her tone as calm as possible, “I don’t quite understand what you’re talking about, Mom.”
Mandy’s lips slightly curled up.
Those eyes that seed to have seen through everything made Hewinia feel deeply uneasy.
Then, she heard Mandy slowly start, “Stop pretending, I am your biological mother, do you think you can hide these things from ?”
…Hmm?
Hewinia’s brow slightly furrowed.
Sothing seed off?
Before she could figure it out, she watched as Mandy picked up the cup of tea in front of her and elegantly sipped it while slowly saying, “I think that girl nad Nia indeed exists, right? And you’ve already dealt with her, haven’t you? Don’t try to fool , Hewinia, you can’t hide such things from .”
Hewinia fell quiet.
It took her a few seconds to understand what Mandy ant.
And Mandy took Hewinia’s silence as a loss for words after being exposed, appearing even more pleased.
“Don’t be nervous, Hewinia.” Mandy set down the teacup, then lightly tapped the table with her finger, as though tapping Hewinia as well, “You’re only discovered by , not your father. If your father knew about this, he indeed wouldn’t be too pleased. But I’m different, I’m the closest person to you in this world, aren’t I? No matter what you did, I would forgive you.”
After a brief storm in her mind, Hewinia slowly released the Magic Wand hidden in her sleeve.
Luckily, this stepmother of hers was still as consistent as she imagined.
At the sa ti she breathed a sigh of relief, Hewinia decided to go along with the plan, maintaining a solemn expression, “What do you know exactly?”
And Mandy was very satisfied with Hewinia’s reaction, and for so reason, she always enjoyed this feeling of controlling Hewinia.
“The things you did in the Seed District, I know them all,” Mandy said, “but I simply haven’t exposed you, do you know why?”
“Because you are my mother.”
“Yes, because I am your mother, that’s the most important reason, but it’s not the only one,” Mandy continued, “Another reason is, I don’t oppose you doing these things; on the contrary, I’m glad you’re doing them because your actions once again prove the bond between us. Even without saying anything, we both realize what the biggest enemy in this family is.”
Hewinia said nothing.
Because she really didn’t know what the biggest enemy Mandy was referring to was.
Fortunately, Mandy soon provided an explanation, lifting a finger.
“Uniqueness.”
She then pointed at herself.
“I am not your father’s first woman, but now I am the first lady of the Hailuo Family.”
Then she pointed toward Hewinia.
“You are not your father’s first child, but you are the future Family Head of the Hailuo Family. Why is that? It’s because you are the sole Golden Note of the Hailuo Family, so no peer can shake your position.”
And then she pointed back at herself.
“And I, as the biological mother of the Hailuo Family’s sole Golden Note, so no one can shake my position, even if they flirt and tease, it’s all futile. Our individuality, mother and daughter, is the greatest guarantee of our status in this family.”
Hearing this, Hewinia finally understood what Mandy ant.
Mandy did not want to see another Golden Note in the Hailuo Family.
If another Golden Note appeared, she would imdiately replace Mandy’s position.
Since she was not originally a person of the Hailuo Family, the best way to truly join her into the Hailuo Family was for the Family Head to marry her, thus forming an unbreakable relationship.
As for the age difference?
For nobles, a difference of several decades was not a problem, what mattered most was the musical note.
If it weren’t for the fact that Hewinia was a descendant of the Hailuo Family, and as nobles one still had to care about ethics sowhat, then Hewinia would be more suitable than Mandy to be the grand lady of the Hailuo Family.
From this perspective, Mandy was the last who wanted to discover a female Golden Note in the Seed District.
Therefore, in her view, what Hewinia did in the Seed District was very satisfying to Mandy.
The only dissatisfaction was…
“We, mother and daughter, share one heart,” Mandy said, “With this kind of incident, you should have told in advance, instead of only thinking of when the bomb drops. If today your father were here instead of , then it would be very difficult for you to explain clearly, understand?”
