CHAPTER 500: CHAPTER 500: THE TRUTH BACK THEN

Ivana Monroe looked mockingly at Julia Sinclair: "You’re really pathetic."

Julia Sinclair was furious: "What did you say?"

"You’re pathetic," Ivana repeated, seeing Julia’s face contorted with anger. She sneered, "Leon Keane is a man of principle. You knew him since high school, so you should understand Leon’s character."

"If he really liked you and chose you, even if you were at the ends of the earth, he would have gone to find you. But from high school till now, after all these years, has he ever gone to look for you?"

Ivana pointed out the reality that Julia Sinclair didn’t want to admit.

"No, right? Not only did he not look for you, he even had a child with me. Even back then, he didn’t know who I was. But six years later, after meeting again, he was determined to marry me."

Julia’s face turned pale, as if Ivana had stabbed her heart with a sharp knife.

During those three years in high school, she tried to give herself to Leon multiple times but never succeeded.

Besides helping her, Leon wouldn’t even touch her fingers, even if she initiated it, he would avoid her.

Julia thought Leon had a cleanliness obsession and couldn’t immediately accept her.

She was prepared to take a long time to make Leon accept her, which is why after being threatened away with money by the Kane matriarch, she finished school abroad and never came back to find Leon.

She thought Leon couldn’t accept another woman, even if someone actively approached him, his cleanliness obsession would require years to slowly adapt.

Another reason was that the media never reported engagement news about Leon, and those female celebrities associated with him, she didn’t care about as upon closer inspection, one would find Leon never held their hands at events.

Those female stars were just dreaming, wanting to marry into the Kane family.

She thought she was Leon’s first love, and eventually, he would marry her.

She was waiting for the right time to return gloriously to Leon’s side.

But.

Julia never dreamed that when the time came, she couldn’t return gloriously to Leon’s side.

Six years ago, Leon mistakenly slept with Ivana, resulting in a child. Six years later, because of that child, they got together.

Right.

Leon doesn’t love Ivana, it’s because of the child, it must be because of the child.

"You’re talking nonsense," Julia shouted sharply at Ivana, "The one he loves is me, being with you was just because the Kane matriarch was in a hurry for a grandson and drugged Leon."

Ivana was stunned.

"You mean... the Kane matriarch drugged Leon?"

This seemed off. If it was the Kane matriarch’s plan, she would have picked a girl she approved of. At that time, the one Ivana liked was Zachary Heston, and she was in a relationship with him, so the matriarch wouldn’t choose her.

Besides, Michelle Monroe always thought she was taken by a random man at a bar.

What exactly happened?

"Yes, that’s right. I can even tell you, the woman the Kane matriarch initially chose was not you, but a female university student with an IQ of 140, beautiful and talented, who had never been in a relationship."

Julia saw Ivana’s shock and felt a twisted pleasure, as if slapping this bitch would make her realize Leon slept with her not because he fancied her!

Spit!

It was all orchestrated by that old hag of a matriarch.

The old hag had gone too far, scheming even her son to get a grandson.

Julia suddenly felt hatred for the Kane matriarch. If not for her, she would already be with Leon, and Ivana wouldn’t have had a chance.

These were the things the Kane matriarch told her upon her return.

Ivana’s beautiful face darkened, the matriarch would do anything to get a grandson!

To the matriarch, a grandson was more important than a son.

Ivana suddenly thought of Ian.

Grandson, grandson...

The matriarch had drugged Leon for a grandson.

Leon had fallen for it once, he’d never be foolish enough to trust the matriarch a second time.

Then Ian...

An unbelievable thought formed in Ivana’s mind.

It was from that one time that she became pregnant with Timmy.

If it had been only Timmy, the matriarch would have taken him away.

Why didn’t she take Timmy?

Why does Ian have the same birthday as Timmy?

Ivana’s eyes filled with heat, tears streaming down uncontrollably, such a coincidence didn’t exist.

Ian was her son.

The matriarch took Ian away initially, though she didn’t know why she didn’t take Timmy, she now knew, Ian was her flesh and blood.

Ivana’s heart ached, how could she have been so stupid? Leon had said Ian was her child several times, and she misunderstood?

Ian, mommy is sorry.

"Cry! Go ahead and cry, you bitch. Now you finally know you’re just a clown jumping around. Leon sees you only for the child’s sake. You’re not even worth dog shit to him."

Julia laughed maniacally, sharply mocking Ivana, and seeing her "grieving" pain, she couldn’t be happier.

After a while.

Julia sensed something was wrong.

Glancing over, a few men had started fighting over a diamond necklace, even using guns, and all three had been shot, each pointing their guns at another’s chest, threatening each other!

"Are you guys insane? Killing each other over a lousy diamond necklace? I got you here to deal with the bitch Ivana, not for you to fight amongst yourselves!"

"Lousy diamond necklace? This necklace is worth tens of millions."

One man’s eyes showed greed.

"Yeah! With this, you’d never have to work again and could date beauties every day."

"You, you..."

Julia was infuriated, she yelled, "If you don’t finish what I told you to do today, you can continue rotting in prison! Regardless of how valuable that necklace is, it has nothing to do with you."

Suddenly.

Three guns pointed at Julia.

Julia turned pale, her legs turning to jelly with fear.

The men didn’t actually want to shoot Julia because she had powerful connections and they didn’t want to risk being incarcerated again, that would be a death sentence.

In the end, they decided Julia would temporarily hold onto the necklace while they dealt with Ivana, then they would fight over it.

Julia’s backer was powerful, and they believed she didn’t care about a diamond necklace worth millions.

Julia took the necklace in hand, the massive diamond nearly blinding her, never before had she seen such extravagant and valuable jewels.

Ivana watched the bloodied men advancing towards her. To say she wasn’t nervous would be a lie; each of them held a gun, and if they fired, she would surely die.

Ivana instinctively stepped back.
