Billionaire

Chapter 208

Why was Leah so hung up on this?

“Of course, she didn’t abuse me. I could have had a life of luxury, the life of an heiress, but she took me away. She must have felt guilty, too guilty to even begin with. Sure, she treated me well, but that’s because she owed me! If she hadn’t switched us as babies, I could have grown up with you, and I would have been a hundred times better than Chloe!”

Leah felt like she’d been stabbed.

The events from over two decades ago were still crystal clear. Ann’s mother had an affair with her father, which led to her mother’s death. She had raged against them, seeking

revenge.

Less than three months after her mother’s death, her father announced he was marrying

Ann’s mother.

At school, she publicly called Ann, the daughter of a homewrecker, over the PA system. This led to Ann being bullied by everyone.

Ann was driven to the edge, literally–to the rooftop.

She kept explaining to Leah, “Leah, I really didn’t know about my mom and your dad. I just found out myself. I’m sorry. I apologize on my mom’s behalf.”

Ann ended up on her knees, but Leah was furious, hitting, slapping, and yanking her hair.

“Ann, you’re such a liar. Both you and your mom are lying and wicked. You just wanted to take my place. Your mom seduced my dad, and it was all you and your mom’s plan. To think I treated you as my best friend. You’ve just been a venomous snake lurking by my side for years, waiting to strike me fatally. Ann, I will never forgive you.”

Ann silently took the beating. Her face was swollen, but she never fought back. She stared at Leah calmly. “Leah, what do I need to do to make you believe me?”

“Fine, if you jump off this rooftop, I’ll believe you

Ann got up, walked to the edge of the rooftop, and jumped without a second thought.

Leah was stunned. She hadn’t thought Ann would actually jump.

The regret hit her hard as Ann leaped.

As she rushed to the edge, Leah was relieved to see that Ann hadn’t hit the ground but had landed on a large pine tree. Even so, she was severely injured and had to be hospitalized.

The incident caused a huge stir at school and at home, but Ann claimed it was due to academic pressure and depression, never mentioning Leah.

To this day, no one knew there were two people on that rooftop.

Chapter 208

This secret was deeply buried in Leah’s heart. Her feelings toward Ann were extremely complicated.

Later, both Leah’s father and Ann’s mother died in a car accident.

Legally, Ann still had a right to the Miller family fortune because her mother and Leah’s mother had already been legally married, though they hadn’t had their wedding yet. But Ann quietly withdrew from school and disappeared from her life.

For many years, Leah felt complex emotions and even guilt when thinking of Ann.

Maybe Ann really didn’t know about Leah’s father and her mother’s affair. Maybe Leah had misunderstood her.

After all, in the years they spent together, Ann was really kind.

However, when Lisa and Chloe’s identities were revealed, Leah’s towering hatred surged again.

She no longer felt guilty. She could finally be sure Ann wasn’t the selfless, loving person she pretended to be.

Not only had Ann switched Leah’s child, but she also mistreated her.

Leah could once again hate Ann with a clear conscience.

But now…

Lisa said Ann treated her like her own. Why would she switch the two children if she was really kind?

If Ann was truly evil, why would she treat Lisa so well after knowing she was Leah’s daughter?

‘Ann, what were you really thinking? What kind of person are you, truly?‘ Leah was in deep thought.
