He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 866: Chapter 866: You Should Believe Me Chapter 866: Chapter 866: You Should Believe Me Serene City is an international metropolis, also ranked among the top-tier cities in the country, with very expensive housing prices, which Grace could definitely not afford.

Ella was very heartbroken, convinced that Grace must have engaged in some unsavory activities.

Ella’s expression was very somber; she couldn’t bring herself to feel happy, her entire face twisted as if in a knot.

Gazing at the lavishly decorated, exquisite home, Ella’s eyes filled with tears, which were on the verge of spilling over.

“Mom, what’s wrong?

What happened?

You’ve never traveled far, and now, seeing that I’ve made something of myself, I can take care of you.

You should be happy,” Grace said as she put her mother’s luggage down, her sharp gaze not blinking once as she intently observed her mother, trying to figure out her emotions.

With eyes brimming with tears and an indescribable pain in her heart, Ella looked at Grace and commanded firmly, “You must quit your job in Serene City right now and come back to the mining area with me.

Your car, your house, and all your jewelry—wherever they came from, you give them all back.

If they weren’t earned through honest work, you can’t keep them.”
Grace, displeased, wore a less-than-pleasant expression, defending herself, “Mom, I worked hard for these things; they are what I deserve.

You came to Serene City without a word, what are you trying to do?

Why can’t you stand to see me doing well?

I’m successful now, you should be happy for me, and you can enjoy the benefits too.

Can’t you stop being so stubborn?”
“Successful?

Grace, how can you be so shameless to say you deserve these things?!

Are you unclear about the foolish things you’ve done yourself?”
Ella felt like she was suffocating, the pain and discomfort in her chest were almost unbearable, and the sad tears she could no longer hold back spilled from her eyes, slowly sliding down her cheeks.

At this moment, Ella could never have imagined that the child she had raised with her own hands had become so alien to her, so consumed by vanity.

Undoubtedly, Grace was hiding much more from her.

Even though Ella found it hard to believe, she didn’t want to see Grace continue further down the wrong path.

Grace’s eyes, too, were reddened, her face filled with a sense of grievance.

A pang of apprehension hit Grace’s heart.

What did her mother know?

Who had brought her to Serene City?

Her mother’s words were full of accusations of shamelessness; what exactly had her mother heard?

Which bitch was conspiring behind her back?

Was Olivia Jenkins, that bitch, pretending to be friendly on the surface only to stab her in the back?

Unable to outdo her, was that bitch resorting to underhanded tactics to try and break her?

Dream on, bitches.

I, Grace Ziegler, am destined to rise high, to ascend to the top and become a phoenix, and nobody can stop me!

After weighing the pros and cons, Grace softened her tone slightly and said softly, “Mom, I was wrong not to tell you the truth about working in Kyoto, but I really don’t like living in Kyoto; I prefer to stay in Serene City.

Who told you to come here?

What have you heard?”
Ella was deeply disappointed, her gaze dimming, “I came here on my own, Grace.

Be honest with me, what exactly have you done?

It’s not too late to turn back now.

Don’t continue making mistakes.”
Suddenly, Grace’s face turned frosty, her attitude cooling by several degrees, “Mom, I’ve always worked diligently, and everything I’ve received is a recognition of my work, not at all like what you’re thinking.

I am the child you raised; you should trust me and not be swayed by others.

I think you must be tired too.

Rest for a while, and I’ll cook for you.

Once you’ve calmed down, we can talk again, okay?”
