Tiana looked naive at her mother. She nodded and waited for her mother to talk. Molly Mo swallowed a ball of saliva and stilled her heart.
She hopes her daughter will be able to bear it and play along with her. Everything she’s done, it’s for her alone. She was doing everything for her.
“I want to talk about Theresa, your step sister..” Molly Mo trailed off. She wants to see how excited her daughter is over the mention of her sister.
” What about her?” Tiana Mo asked flippantly. Talking about Theresa is like provoking her calm spirit. That woman who took everything away from her?
Molly Mo saw her daughter’s flippant attitude at the mention of Theresa’s name. That implies she is not going to be moved by whatever happens to her.
” She’s dead. Theresa died a few hours ago..”Molly Mo announced, a faint smile appeared on her lips but quickly put on a sad countenance again.
” Theresa is dead?” Tiana Mo screamed. Molly Mo quickly covered her mouth to prevent anyone hearing them.
Tiana just sat down at the edge of the bed. Her head between her palm and her tears gave way.
Her mother had murdered her sister because of Mo’s business. She heard her telling someone two days ago that she was sending her details.
Then yesterday, she eavesdropped on her conversation again. She told the fellow to strike while the iron was still hot.
She can’t imagine her mother can be so mean. Theresa was an orphan. Lost her mother when she was young and was raised by her parents.
Her father died and she has no one else besides them, her immediate family. Her mother deceived her into an arranged marriage and the rest was history.
Now she concluded her callousness by murdering her? What sort of a woman is her mother?
“Calm down Tiana. Now we can possess the whole of the business and all that Theresa Mo has gathered would be ours.
Her two miserable kids would be thrown on the street or sent to an orphanage. But to treat her viciousness, we send them to a mental asylum and bribe someone to make them a real psychiatric case.
Then we can live our lives as peacefully as we want. You and I as Zongtian’s successors…” Molly Mo said feeling satisfied.
Her daughter is definitely satisfied with what she’s done. She’s a perfect mother and an ideal woman who seeks the interest of her daughter alone.
Tiana’s tears flowed and she was choking. After Killing Theresa she wants to send her children to a mental asylum to be made into crazy boys?
Ah! Her mother is mean and evil. She won’t let her succeed. If that’s the last thing she did, she would protect those boys if she knows where they are.
” How did you murder Theresa?” Tiana asked bluntly. She knows her Mother did it. There’s no need to be courteous about it.
Molly Mo felt a little uncomfortable with the way her daughter said it. She should have polished her statement and made it sound saucy to the ears rather than being blunt like she did.
She’s making it appear as if she’s a murderer. She’s not really a murderer, she only removed obstacles on her daughter’s way of progress like every true mother would do.
” Did you send assassins to kill her or did you have her kidnapped and killed?” Tiana asked, waiting to hear her mother’s answers.
Molly Mo shrugged. She has to say it so that her daughter would not think she’s a bad person.
” Well, I had to contact the fellow who helped eradicate her Mother. Just like Theresa standing in your way to taking the entire Mo’s business, so her mother was the only woman Zongtian loved.
So we cleared her off and I had Zongtian Mo to myself. The same fellow who did the job back then, was the one I contacted to finish Theresa as well..” Molly Mo was analysing when Tiana jumped on her feet.
She looked alarmed and scared as she yelled ” You also killed her mother!!?”
Theresa was becoming uneasy. Why wouldn’t Junxie Li give her feedback? She had asked him to give her feedback on how things went with her Aunt and the car.
He didn’t give her any feedback and she’s been trying to call him, he wasn’t answering her.
She tried calling her brother and he also was not answering his phone. What kind of thing was this?
Julia left the company and came to stay with her. But she’s having this feeling that something has gone wrong.
For the upteenth time, Theresa Mo called Junxie Li again and he answered “Hello my love… I am sorry.. everything will be alright.. promise… your brother is here as well.. ok” Junxie handed the phone to Lanre, and whispered “please choose your words”
Lanre nodded. He understands Junxie. He was concerned about her pregnancy and he is concerned as well.
“Sister… I am fine… aunt is fine.. my voice?… nothing to be worried about..” after speaking with his sister, he handed the phone over to Junxie.
Lanre had gone to wash himself in the VIP lounge and changed into a new set of clothes. But he refused to leave the hospital.
His aunt was in a delicate condition and he should be going home? Until he sees her out of harm’s way, he isn’t going to leave.
He’s been standing for hours and has refused to sit down. He kept looking at the bedside meter to see how fast her pulse was going.
He monitors whatever is administered to her. He can’t sit back and allow other people attend to his aunt, the same set of people who pronounced her dead.
If he hadn’t spent a few minutes with her, she would remain like that and be bundled to the morgue and finally stopped breathing.
He was going to say things to the senior among the doctors but wouldn’t say it before a non professional in his field.
Junxie Li had already assigned his assistant to find out the truth about the accident. Was it intentional or accidental?
“Junxie, please tell me what happened?” Lanre was finally able to reason. Junxie Li explained how he was called and what Theresa told him when he asked her where the car was.
How he arrived at the venue of the accident and what he saw. But he felt it wasn’t an accident because the expertise of Theresa’s chauffeur wouldn’t let him be that careless.
He had suppressed the news from breaking out because of Theresa and had arranged for the car to be taken to the Company.
” Theresa Mo is the target and not Aunt Lulu. Same thing happened to my mother and she was murdered..”
