Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher)

Chapter 39

Leslie spoke slowly. Even now, she sounded like she was lamenting as she said, “The patient’s father also went down on his knees and begged me, say couldn’t survive, he was afraid that his

wife wouldn’t either.

“He begged me to save their daughter at all costs. But the patient still couldn’t make it after the surgery. Later, I heard that not long after the patient pass

The recording of the conversation stopped here.

lan looked at Benjamin and said, “After our investigation, I’m sorry to tell you that your mom has indeed

passed away, as her friend, Ms. York, said. Today, we’ve invited Benjamin’s mother, Jay’s friend, to come to Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

the studio. Let’s welcome Ms. York to tell us about Jay’s story.”

The staff escorted the emotional Anne onto the stage. As she sat down, she recounted how she and Jessica

had escaped from Emmerson Village with Angeline’s help.

She also described how Jessica had fallen in panic in front of the police station, leading to massive bleeding

and her eventual demise at the hospital.

The audience below murmured in sympathy.

“I told them Jay was gone, but they didn’t believe me.” Anne looked anxious. Just as she was about to reveal the fact that the Emmersons had used Angeline to threaten her, she abruptly swallowed her words, fearing it

might implicate Angeline.

“Anne, it’s not that we don’t believe you. You’re close with Jay back in Emmerson Village, and you left

together. You should have her contact information!

“Benjamin just wants to see his mom, sister, and grandpa. You clearly have their phone number. How can you be so heartless and not give us? If we had their numbers, we wouldn’t be exposing our family’s dirty laundry

on TV!”

As Juliet said that, she hugged Benjamin and cried. She started to ramble about how difficult her life had been and how Benjamin had been bullied as a child for not having a mother.

“After Benjamin’s sister left with her mom, she hasn’t contacted us for so many years. Look at what she had turned a good girl into! At such a young age, she’s not focusing on her studies. Instead, she drugged others for sex. Her naked photos are everywhere.”

Juliet became more and more agitated as she spoke. “We shouldn’t have let Jodie go back then. If she had listened to me, she would’ve been married and had children already. How could this have happened if she had

a man?”

“You’re talking nonsense! Angie is the best child in the world! She’s a top student at Oceanford College! It was you who wanted to end her when you hea

Anne became emotional. “It was you who said that girls can’t make money! You said as long as I could give

you 20 thousand dollars, you would give Angle to me!”

The usually mild–mannered Anne and the Emmersons were now engaged in a heated argument on stage,

The production team loved this kind of intense conflict. The camera was almost glued to Juliet’s face,

“You’re talking crap!” Juliet stood up, naturally twisting the truth. “Angie left with her mom back then. Her birth

mother wanted her! How could we refuse?

“Also, who took your 20 thousand dollars? Show me the evidence! You turned our good girl into a shameless slut who goes out to sell herself. How will she ever get married in the future? My goodness!”

Juliet’s words were so harsh that the audience frowned.

How could a grandmother speak about her granddaughter like that?

Anne couldn’t stand it and argued with Juliet. In the end, Juliet stepped forward and grabbed Anne’s hair. The stage immediately descended into chaos.

Two and a half hours later…
