A Night with Her Cruel Mate

Chapter 39 We Are Sisters

Julia wasn't listening to Consuela at all. Instead, she fixated her eyes on the phone screen with tears in her eyes as she watched Mandy's video.

"My daughter is a terrible girl, never behaving when she was a child. For the last two years, my health has been declining and I am unable to work. I thought that she would support me now that she is a celebrity, but..."

Mandy wiped her tears and continued, "I really can't stand her any more. I'm too old to discipline her. I am saying these things in public so that you can help me educate her. I can't let her harm anybody else."

"Mandy, is it true that Julia is involved in drug abuse?"

"Of course." Mandy nodded head firmly in response to the reporter. "She is my daughter and if she hadn't gone too far, then I wouldn't have cause such a scandal. When she was younger, she used to play with the hooligans and take drugs. I witnessed it with my own eyes."

"Then is it true that she has slept with many men?"

Mandy's eyes dimmed, but she eventually nodded. "Although I didn't see it, I believe this to be true. Ever since she entered the entertainment industry, I've seen different men coming over to pick her up. Every time she went out, she spent the entire night elsewhere. Whenever I asked about it, she got upset with me. She even hit me once.

I also have a record of her going to the hospital for an abortion. I really can't support myself anymore. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said anything..."

Julia clenched her fist, wondering why Mandy had to make up stories to slander her. The woman was supposed to be her mother, the closest person to her. Why would she slander her own daughter like

that?

Julia was shaking with anger.

"Julia, don't be too sad. I will handle it for you." Consuela patted her shoulder to comfort her. She had been a broker for a long time and there was no doubt that she could handle this scandal. But Julia didn't listen to her.

Under her breath, she kept mumbling, "How could she do this? How could she do it to me?"

"Do you still have to guess?" Consuela frowned as she clenched her teeth. "It must have been Jean's idea. You've already gotten divorced, but she still doesn't want to let you go. She wants to destroy you!"

"I'm going to find her!" Julia roughly got off the bed. She wanted to make it clear that she couldn't let them continue slandering her like this.

"Calm down, Julia." Consuela hurriedly blocked Julia's path. "Are you really going out now? The front gate is swarming with reporters. If you go out now, you'll only be digging your own grave. Listen to me. Rest here for the next two days. I'll take care of this."

Julia sighed and looked at the phone screen. Her voice broke with anger as she asked, "Why did she do this to me? She's my mother." NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

"Don't be so sad." Consuela stroked Julia's hair to comfort her. "Think about it. If she really treated you like a daughter, then she wouldn't have forced you to give her ten million dollars.

Before Jean came back, you were both fine. But now that Jean has inserted herself into the picture, everything became messy. I strongly believe that she has something to do with this."

When Julia looked up at the screen, she saw another figure appear, it was Jean.

With a scowl, Jean helped Mandy stand up. "Mom, what are you talking about? My sister isn't how you just described her to be. Julia is just too busy to come back home to see you. If you miss her, then we can call her."

Mandy aggressively pulled away from Jean's grasp. "I'm not making things up. I swear on my conscience that I am telling the truth. I hope that you can help me monitor her."

"All right, all right." Jena then grabbed her mother's hand and directed her attention to the reporters. "I apologize for this. My mother hasn't rested for the last few days and is spewing out nonsense in front of all of you. I can assure you that my sister isn't the type of person my mother has just described her to be. When she has time, she will come back to see my mother. It's all my fault. Since I was living abroad, I wasn't able to notice my mother's emotions."

"Excuse me, but what's your relationship with Julia?"

"We are sisters," Jean said with a gentle nod. "I sincerely hope that you see this as a mere joke. I will take good care of my mother, so that she won't bother you again."

"I didn't lie. Everything I said is true." Mandy was still shouting as Jean pulled her away.

"You see?" With a scornful laugh, Consuela told Julia, "Your dear sister used your mother to slander you and hide behind others. Now, everyone is comparing the two of you. Not only did she ruin you, but she also made an image of her own in front of the media by portraying herself to be a filial daughter. She really is good at playing tricks."

However, Julia was not in the mood to care about these things. She looked at the screen and sighed, "I don't understand. I've tolerated her the entire time. Why did she still treat me like this? What did I do to make her hate me?"

"It's because you always tolerate her actions. That's why she thinks that she can just bully you again and again," Consuela said in a cold and unwavering voice. "You can't be a coward anymore. You have to teach Jean a lesson.

The news really took a toll on your reputation. My phone nearly exploded this morning from all my contacts who wanted to break their agreements with you."

Since Julia's mother had caused the scandal, her words were more credible.

"Just stay at home. I'll be at the office for a meeting. Don't go anywhere, okay?" Consuela urged, worried about her friend.

She looked at the clock and realized that it was already late. She immediately changed her clothes and headed straight to her meeting. Julia stayed at home alone feeling dejected. She couldn't help but hug her knees as she saw the negative comments on the Internet.

Half an hour had passed, but Julia still didn't move. Her phone suddenly rang. She looked at the screen and saw Samuel's name. "Hello?" she answered in a weak voice.

"Julia, I read the news. Where are you?" he asked, his voice filled with concern.
