novelxo Chapter 1669
"It can't be, it can't be."
Yesseca was deep in thought.
She remembered that Selina had contacted the doctor to pay for her treatment.
She recalled how Selina took care of her after Lothar died.
She thought about how concerned Selina was for her wellbeing and happiness, even when she was in the pains of childbirth.
She then thought about the last time she saw Lothar when he was alive. Every time he mentioned Selina, he would laugh and smile happily.
She remembered Lothar telling her that Selina was the cutest and kindest woman he had ever met.
It had to be fake.
A look of guilt flickered across her eyes.
She spoke to the picture of Lothar, "This is all my fault. Why did I have that nightmare about all the things that woman told me?"
She placed the photo back under the pillow.
Yesseca then went back to sleep.
She decided to pretend as though none of this had happened.
She had never seen that woman, nor did she hear anything that woman told her.
Qiana had gone to visit the Lanes family.
At their high and mighty home, the mayor's residence.
She came for money.
She had pursued her studies at junior college but dropped out before finishing her course. She only managed to get a position as a teacher in a prestigious kindergarten because of Wesley's help. She had changed her identity and acquired a diploma certificate from a famous university.
However, a diploma from a prestigious university was far from enough.
She had to be the real deal.
This wasn't just any normal kindergarten where teachers could just fool around all day. This was a prestigious kindergarten.
She had to have real skills and real knowledge.
Qiana hired an experienced tutor to teach her the skills she needed.
She was a teacher by day and student by night.
Of course, hiring tutors cost a lot of money and she had asked the mayor, her father, for the money.
When Qiana knocked on the door, henna was the one who opened it.
Lenna was the mayor's wife.
She had a head full of curly hair which was the fashion right now. Her hair was tightly packed up in curlers and she had silk pajamas on.
When she saw that it was Qiana, a look of disdain flashed across her eyes.
She wasn't jealous of her daughter that her husband had with another women, she simply looked down on her.
A country bumpkin.
That was what Lenna thought of her.
This country bumpkin even had a very cheesy name, Lavender.
It was such a pity that her husband was oblivious to what was going on. He took her in as his daughter and even gave her a new name. "I'm looking for my father," Qiana said to Lenna.
She responded contemptuously, "Come inside,"
Qiana walked inside.
The Lanes family lived in the city centre. They lived in a duplex that was over 300 square meters large and was decorated luxuriously. In Qiana's point of view, this place looked like a palace.
However, this was no longer the case.
Because Qiana had bigger plans in mind.
Tremaine's home was much bigger and even more luxurious than Wesley's. Compared to Tremaine's villa, this place looked like a shack. Lenna went into the study to inform Wesley.
"Your daughter's here to see you," Lenna said this with her nose held high, "She's a bumpkin who doesn't deserve your time," Wesley shot Lenna a warning glare and said, "Be polite. She's useful to me,"
Lenna snorted heavily.
Wesley had told her this many times before. If he hadn't told her, Lenna would have thrown her out the door by now.
When Lenna went to call Wesley, his other daughter just happened to walk past the living room and spotted Qiana sitting on the sofa.
Norah stopped in her tracks and asked, "What are you doing in our house?"
Although Qiana was Norah's half-sister, Norah never fully accepted her.
Norah and Lenna both thought the same way about Qiana. She was a bumpkin who had run away from the countryside, a bumpkin who wasn't even worth talking about.
Qiana stared at Norah's face.
Norah was all dolled up with an exotic look.
This was what it was like to be raised by a prominent family in a wealthy city.
She didn't just look beautiful, she looked exotic as well.
Qiana had seen Norah once before.
Back then, she was called Lavender.
Qiana always felt that Norah lived like a princess.
Even now, Qiana hadn't changed her mind.
However, Qiana didn't feel so lowly before Norah as she did before.
She imagined the day when she would be able to step on Norah and crush her under her sole.
If she became Tremaine's wife, Norah would have to grovel for her favor.
What did she need to act humble in front of Norah for?
Thinking about this, Qiana raised her head and said, "I came to see my father,"
Norah looked at her disdainfully. "Your father? You mean my father, you bumpkin."
Qiana opened her mouth, but closed it again.
She was about to talk back when she realized that it was a waste of time.
She wasn't in the position to talk back to her, but one day she would.
When that day came, she would teach Norah a lesson.
She wanted to drag Norah down from being a princess to being a lowly nobody like how she used to be.
Qiana smiled faintly, keeping her thoughts to herself.
Norah found her smile rather strange.
She just couldn't put her finger on it.
She found it disgusting.
As she was about to speak again, she spotted Wesley coming down the stairs.
Norah looked at Wesley with a look of dissatisfaction on her face.
Wesley had known about Qiana's existence for quite some time.
However, Wesley overlooked her completely.
This was because she was a bumpkin, a nobody that didn't need to be bothered about.
However, for whatever reason, it
seemed fike Wesley had gone mad recently. He seemed to care a lot for Qiana and even publicly acknowledged her as his daughter. en.swhovels.net
This was really incredible.

When Wesley came down and saw Norah, he ordered her to leave.
"I have something to discuss with Qiana," Wesley said.
Norah expressed her dissatisfaction by saying, "There's nothing to talk about with a bumpkin,"
After that, Norah left.
Once Norah was gone, Qiana explained why she was here.
Wesley was quite unhappy.
He thought Qiana had come to bring him some good news. He didn't expect her to come to him for money.
"I've already given you a large sum
of money last time." Wesley
whispered, "I've also arranged everything for you, but you haven't
given me any good news in such a long time,"
Qiana replied calmly, "Good news doesn't come fast. Men like Tremaine aren't easily fooled. You
have to give me some time,"
Wesley looked at Qiana.
Qiana looked very determined and eager to succeed.
Wesley hoped that this unsightly daughter of his could be given some semblance of certainty
