Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife novel Chapter 1056

Chapter 1056: Chapter 1055

Donna astounded, unexpected that her mother-in-law would say such words.

"After the divorce, you’ll still be the daughter-in-law in my heart. I will still treat you as my own family. I support you in chasing your own happiness, to be frank, I hope you do well."

When she learned how Donna had been giving so much all these years without getting a response from her son, Shirley, as a woman herself, could truly empathize with the pain her daughter-in-law had endured.

"But you’ve hated the wrong person, honey." Shirley corrected with tears in her eyes, "From beginning to end, Jennifer had no clue how much Tomas adored her, let alone the fact that the brothers had fought over her, and she was completely in the dark about the long suffering you endured. The one you ought to hate is him."

With that, she turned her gaze to her eldest son.

"After you have been heartbroken again and again, what you have to do is to leave him, cut your losses, instead of wasting your time on him and misdirecting your anger towards Jennifer. You’re wrong in this, is Jennifer not innocent? She has been hated with no reason by you for so many years and has been hurt for so many years."

Hearing Shirley speak that, Donna’s tears fell.

After that fateful explosion at the clinic, Tomas indeed did many things to hurt and stumble his younger brother.

And Donna hadn’t been idle either. She secretly shoot "arrows in the dark" at Jennifer.

But George and Jennifer had always trusted them and never suspected a thing.

"The worst thing is, because of love and hate and family business, you’ve dragged so many innocents into this mess." Shirley closed her eyes in despair, tears trailing down her cheeks.

"Mom." Donna just wanted to say something.

Suddenly, a cup of coffee was splashed on Tomas’ face.

Jennifer, holding the cup, said furiously, "You actually tried to kill George."

Cathy, somehow having already dialed the emergency number, choked out to the operator, "My name is Cathy McMillian, Tomas McMillian’s youngest daughter. I’m reporting Tomas and Donna for involvement in multiple homicides. Please come to Reflections Villa immediately and take them in for questioning."

Perhaps never expecting their own daughter to report them personally, Tomas and Donna paused, the light in their eyes dimmed, and they didn’t say a word as if they had accepted their fate.

After a while, Phillip’s phone rang.

"Phillip. Sorry to bother you, but we just received a call from your granddaughter alleging serious accusations. Is this some kind of child’s play?"

Phillip seemed to age several years in an instant, yet his voice maintained its authority, "My son and daughter-in-law are indeed implicated in multiple homicides. Please come over, the location is Reflections Villa."

Truth be told, even if Cathy hadn’t made that call, he would have.

His son and daughter-in-law hadn’t just made a small mistake; they had been committing heinous acts for years, in their quest for power and the family fortune, entangling and sacrificing countless innocents.

The voice on the phone faltered. Was this really happening?

After a short while, a slew of officers arrived at Reflections Villa.

Tomas and Donna looked at their three children with a swirl of emotions.

"Remember to listen to Grandma and Grandpa, and your Aunt and Uncle." Donna’s voice cracked as tears rolled down her cheeks. She couldn’t help but look at the three kids before her with a mix of pride and sorrow. They had really grown up, become so sensible, with a strong sense of right and wrong. Her mother-in-law was right—they were such good kids.

Tomas’ eyes were filled with shame and regret as he faced them. "Mom and Dad haven’t set the best example, and we’ve let you down. We’re so sorry."

He bowed to the three children. At that gesture, Jeffery’s emotions suddenly broke through, tears streaming down his face. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Luna’s eyes went red.

Cathy had been trying hard to hold back, trying not to make a sound, but her trembling body betrayed her. She was just a teenager, even younger than Rosemary. No one knew how much courage it took her to dial 911 and report her own parents.

Rosemary’s words made Cathy burst into tears again. "I’ll come visit you again in a few days."

"That would be lovely," Rosemary’s warm and kind smile made Cathy unable to resist hugging her and crying out, "You’re so good, sis. My parents hurt you, kept you away from your own family for years, yet you forgive them so easily. If only I had a time machine, I’d be the first to go back and stop them."

But there were no time machines in real life, and her parents’ mistakes couldn’t be undone.

"You go on and take Grandma and Grandpa home," Rosemary said, patting her back. "Everything will get better."

Cathy cried even harder.

"We’ll come see you again soon, sis," Luna added, her eyes also red.

Rosemary wiped away Luna’s tears, then turned to Jeffery and handed him a tissue from the table. "Next time, come with smiles."

The three of them managed to laugh through their tears, nodding and looking back repeatedly as they left.

Finally, someone in the cell was woken by the noise and threw something at her impatiently.

"Damn it, will you ever stop? Mourning or what!"

Startled, Serena clapped her hands over her mouth, letting tears fall silently, not daring to make another sound.

Days later, Rosemary went to visit Beverly.

"Auntie, the outside world and the poems are just as you said – full of surprises," Rosemary shared. "Romeo and I thought it was important for both our families to read it too. But as you know, even the most beautiful scenery eventually becomes part of the past."

Beverly’s tears welled up as she listened; finally, it had become the past, finally no more days of living in fear.
