Chapter 9

Queenie noticed something’s wrong with Sheena, "What's the matter? Who is calling?" "My mother." Sheena bit her lower lip, swiped her finger on the screen, and connected. Before she could speak, she heard her mother's voice on the other line, "Where are you?" The cold tone doesn’t sound like it’s a mother talking to her daughter. Perhaps it would be better to describe their relationship like a boss and a subordinate. "What's the matter?" If her mother’s voice is cold, Sheena’s is colder than her, "If it is not important then I'll hang up. I am very busy." "Busy? What do you do?", Margaret sneered, "Busy to deal with your plagiarism scandal or divorce case?" Her words were like a sharp sword piercing Sheena's heart fiercely, and her heart was dripping with pain. Since what happened three years ago, her mother's attitude towards her has plummeted, as if she had done something intolerable. Sheena clenched her fists tightly and tolerated the anger that was about to break through her chest, "This is my business, so no need to worry about it, Madam Adams." "Sheena!", her mother angrily called her by her first name, "If you weren't my daughter, I wouldn't care about your mess!" "Daughter?" Sheena laughed mockingly, "It's rare for you to remember that I am your daughter.” There’s someone who wants to be your daughter, so you won’t need me. " After speaking, Sheena directly hung up the phone, but after she hung up, her mother called again. Sheena simply turned off the phone and threw the phone on the shelf in front of the windshield and it’s enough to show how angry she was at this time. Queenie, "What did your mother say?" Every time Sheena calls her mother, both parties are unhappy. This has happened every year in the past three years. "Nothing." Sheena turned her head out of the window, but Queenie still saw her red eyes. Queenie sighed in her heart. The knot between Sheena and her mother has always been like this. Sheena originally thought that it would be done by hanging up her the phone, but when the car stopped downstairs at Queenie's house, she saw the high-end luxury car in front through the windshield, and her face suddenly became ugly. "She’s here..." Queenie frowned, "Is it because she knows you need help?" "Humph." Sheena just sneered. She would rather believe that Harold is a kind person than that her mother who came to help her. From the phone call just now, her mother knew everything she was doing now, but there was still a bit of anger in her voice. "Do you want to go there?" Queenie asked worriedly. "You go up first, I'll be back in a while." Sheena said this to Queenie, then opened the door and got out of the car and walked towards her mother. When Sheena was about to approach the car, the door of the rear compartment was opened from the inside, and a well-maintained hand was exposed from the inside. Margaret is a very beautiful person. Even though she is now in her forties, she still looks like a woman in her early thirties. She exudes charm all over her body. It is no wonder Michael Adams loves her to the death and even accepted her child and treats her as his own. Thinking of this, Sheena's mocking smile became worse. She bent down and got into the car; the door closed. The driver in front has gotten out of the car, leaving space for the mother and daughter alone. The weather was a bit hot, Margaret wore a slim dress, showing her delicate collarbone and almost no wrinkles could be found on her white and beautiful face. Her eyes looked bright, but those eyes staring at Sheena’s face at the moment, has a hint of anger. Almost after Sheena got in the car and sat down, she slapped her face to the right, and the pain spread all over her face. At the same time, her mother’s accusing voice sounded, "When you wanted to marry Liam, I didn’t stop you for our relationship not to be totally ruined. How could you make such a scandal after many years? Sheena, I know you hate me, but you don't have to do this to yourself! " "I'm doing this to myself?" Sheena lifted her face, revealing the five clear fingerprints on her face and the blood on the corners of her mouth. She smiled sarcastically, "I married a scumbag and now he's cheating on me, and it’s my fault? Your logic is really fresh and refined, Mrs. Adams." When her mother frowned, her hand on her leg moved again, as if she was about to hit her again. Sheena glanced at it and laughed, "You still want to hit me? Yes, you were often blinded by Betty, right? Can you beat her too if you’re angry? After all, you are her stepmother. If it is reported that the stepmother abused her stepdaughter, would Michael Adams still love you so much? You can beat me as much as you want. Why do you have to be my mother?" "Sheena!" Sheena was trembling all over and her cheeks flushed a bit, "How could you talk to me like this?!" "You forced me." The smile on Sheena's face dissipated and became cold. "Then there is no need to play an emotional card with me. Let's just say it. What are you going to do today?" Margaret would never be so kind enough to help her. "I know that you now have evidence of Liam's infidelity, but you can't fight this lawsuit." Margaret also calmed down, and after receiving her anger, she said calmly. “Then, are you telling me that it’s okay that he beat me? Why?", Sheena's face changed slightly. "Hailey's aunt is my friend, she called me personally..." "Heh." She was interrupted by Sheena with a cold sneer before she finished her words. Sheena raised her finger, "I'll take care of it for you. The first in your heart is Michael Adams, and then his two children, followed by your friend, and your daughter will be your last priority. There’s nothing wrong. The order is pretty good." Sheena's face was a little pale. Her eyes flushed, and she stared at her mother while saying every word, "Before you telling me these things, did you think about how Liam and Hailey treated me the other day? They forced me to sign a divorce agreement and when I went out, they pushed me on the ground, kicked me, and finally gave me a drug that almost killed me! A bunch of people on the Internet would make me aggrieved, but you? You are my mother, but instead of helping me, you are helping them!" "What are you talking about...?" Her eyes widened in shock, "They also hit you? Let me see you..." She stretched out her hand to check Sheena's injuries, but was stopped by Sheena. "No need to discuss this matter!" Sheena gritted her teeth and said, "Whether it is Liam or Hailey, I will make them pay!" After speaking, Sheena turned around and pushed the door to get out of the car. Just after taking a step, her mother's voice sounded behind her, "Sheena..." Sheena didn't look back, but she paused and then straightened her back and left without looking back.
