?Chapter 1233:


    Nelly’s smile faltered, the warmth fading as a flicker of annoyance stirred deep inside her.


    She thought Davina was so insolent, just like her mother.


    Disgust clouded Nelly’s gaze. The resemnce was uncanny. Davina truly was the daughter of that woman.


    Even from the grave, that woman seemed determined to ruin Nelly’s peace. People still whispered that Nelly had once been the mistress who wed her way to the top, that she must have done something to get rid of Davina’s mother.


    It wasn’t even her who nned that woman’s death, but Terence. But honestly, even if it had been her, so what? That woman had only herself to me for being unlucky, outyed, and outsmarted till the very end.


    Winner takes all.


    To Nelly, Davina’s mother’s death was what she deserved.


    “You really are Davina?” Terence asked, his sharp eyes glistening faintly as he looked Davina over. “You… you look so much like your mother.


    “Davina, my child, you really are my own flesh and blood…”


    As he reached forward to embrace her, Davina quietly shifted away, avoiding his touch without a word.


    “Davina, are you mad at me? I tried to find you. But everyone said you’d died. I’ve missed you terribly.


    “My poor child. It’s all my fault. But don’t worry, I’ll make it right, I promise.”


    Nelly dabbed at her tears, her voice trembling as she said, “Davina, I know you’re not mine by blood, but I’ll love you as if you were.


    “I swear, you’ll never suffer any injustice while I’m here.”


    ???????? ???????? ???????? ???? g?????????????ν??????????.????????


    Watching their fake concern and hollow words, Davina curved her lips into a faint, mocking smile.


    Those were true crocodile tears, nothing more.


    They had worked together to kill her mother years ago, and now they were putting on this fake act of caring. Davina knew they wereing after her next.


    Before she’d even arrived, Christina had warned her. With the Murray family drowning in debt, they’d have to marry off Katy to save themselves. But Davina’s return had made her the perfect sacrifice.


    She knew they’d try everything to throw her under the bus. But here was the thing: the Murray family’s financial problems were actually Davina’s doing.


    Without Christina backing her up, Davina knew she’d never stand a chance against the Murray family by herself.


    Christina wasn’t just someone who’d helped her; she was the heroine for both Davina and her mother.


    Thanks to Christina, she finally had her shot at revenge.
