    “I didn’t. I just want the Summers family to rise again–what’s wrong with that? If you won’t help us<b>, </b>can’t I find another way out?”


    “A way out? I’m your daughter. As long as I’m Mrs. Luke, the Summers family will never fall. So what if we’re temporarily bankrupt now? Didn’t you hear what Jensen said just now? As long as I’m Mrs. Luke, the Summers family will be safe.”


    Sharon’s words left Mrs. Summers speechless.


    Jensen had treated both the family and Sharon so harshly before–it wasn’t unreasonable for her to worry. But now, if Jensen could be persuaded to spare the Summers family for Sharon’s sake, she no longer wanted to risk exposing her daughter.


    Mrs. Summers swallowed hard. “I was just anxious, that’s all. Didn’t you see how your father’s hair turned white overnight? If the Summers family copses, even as Mrs. Luke, will anyone still respect you? How long do you think you can keep up the act of being terminally ill? Once the truthes out, what then? Jensen could crush you with a single finger!”


    “And if the Summers family survives, what real help can you give me? Didn’t Jensen already drive you to bankruptcy once?”


    Sharon’s words cut deep, nearly taking Mrs. Summers’s breath away.


    “That’s only because we tied everything to Luke Corp. When Jensen struck, we had no way to fight back. But your father’s heard about a rising foreignpany. We’re nning to work with them. Jensen’s reach won’t extend overseas. Even if your secret is exposed one day, the Summers family will be there to protect you. Sharon, without your family behind you, you won’tst.”


    Her words cooled Sharon’s murderous thoughts.


    She was right.


    Jensen’s moods were unpredictable. If the truth about her fake cancer came out, Sharon couldn’t be sure she could control him.


    The Summers family still had its uses. After all, she was their blood.


    Sharon frowned slightly.


    “Is that

    “Very. Your father already looked into it. But investing in their project will take a lot of money. Back then, all our funds were tied up with Luke Corp, so we couldn’t act. Now that Jensen wants to make it up to you, get some money from him for us. Once the Summers family rises again, we’ll be your strongest support.”


    Mrs. Summers sighed and pressed on. “Sharon, you’re my daughter. Of course I want you to live well. But the Summers family is your foundation. You can’t lose it, and you can’t let it fall. Help us stand again, and I swear no one will ever be able to bully you.”


    She knew Sharon was selfish, but she was still her child. Natalie was gone now–this was the only daughter she had left. If she could draw Sharon back to her side, she still hoped for some semnce of a mother–daughter bond.


    Sharon wasn’t stupid; she knew where her advantagey.


    She nodded. “I’ll find a way to get the money. But before that, you’re not allowed to go to Jensen again. And Mom, are you really nning to give him Natalie’s swaddles? Aren’t you afraid he’ll use them to track down her real parents?”


    Mrs. Summers’s face drained of color.


    Sharon narrowed her eyes.


    “Mom, do you know something about Natalie’s background? I was the one who got switched at birth, so logically Natalie should’ve been that peasant woman’s child. But the DNA test proved otherwise. Her identity has never been investigated. For five years, she was blinded by love, thinking Jensen was all she needed. Why didn’t you investigate? Why weren’t you curious?” <fn954c> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? Find1Novel</fn954c>


    For a moment, Mrs. Summers’s eyes flickered with panic, then she smoothed it away.


    “She wasn’t my daughter anymore. Why should I care who her parents are? If she didn’t bother to look, why would I?<b>” </b>


    With that, she turned and walked off, her pace betraying a hint of retreat.


    Sharon’s eyes narrowed further.


    She had the feeling her mother knew something. But with Natalie dead, she couldn’t be bothered to dig further.


    Back home, Mrs. Summers pulled out a few of Natalie’s old school design awards. Sharon nced at them and curled her lip.


    “Mom, you raised Natalie so well, but she never contributed to the Summers family. Meanwhile, I, the daughter you lost, am the one holding everything together. From now on,

    don’t you dare say anything reckless in front of Jensen. If I lose his favor, the Summers family won’t have any future either.”
