Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 396

Thinking about all this, Cindy was overwhelmed with regret. She hurriedly tried to explain, "It wasn't like that. I didn’t mean to, Allison, please listen to me. I thought you were just..."

Mid-sentence, Cindy clammed up. She'd thought Allison was just some poor girl with no family ties or connections, just a gold-digger. No way could she say that out loud.

"What did you think?" Allison's icy gaze locked onto her.

Cindy faltered, words failing her.

Allison chuckled softly, "You thought I was just a broke girl chasing Shawn for his money, right?"

Cindy averted her eyes, guilt written all over her face.

Allison's expression stayed cool as she went on, "Actually, back then I was thinking about bringing Shawn to meet my family in Oakville and even considered investing in the Reynolds Group."

Cindy's eyes widened in shock. "Then why didn’t you?"

If she'd known Allison was the daughter of Oakville's wealthiest family, Kate wouldn't have stood a chance. If Shawn had married Allison, he'd be the son-in-law of the richest family in Oakville, not buried in debt and bankrupt!

Cindy was kicking herself for not seeing it sooner.

Allison smiled slightly, "Because your son thought the same as you. He didn’t think I was good enough for him either."

Cindy stood there, stunned, barely able to process it.

"Those who betray true love never have a happy ending," Allison said coldly. "You should leave. I’m not going to help you."

"What happened before was my fault. I’m really sorry, truly sorry..."

Tears welled up in Cindy's eyes.

"We don’t need any maids," Allison said coolly. "Begging me is pointless because your family's downfall is exactly what I wanted to see."

"Sorry, Cindy, but I never go out of my way to make life hard for anyone," Allison said, giving Cindy a cold look. "But I do hold grudges. You hurt me before, and now it’s payback time."

"What do you mean? Are you saying our family's collapse was your doing?" Cindy stopped crying, eyes wide.

"That's right." Allison was calm, a small smile playing on her lips. "Your past insults are just one reason for my revenge. Your darling son teamed up with the Fisher family's adopted daughter, working for the Fisher family's illegitimate son, nearly tearing my family apart. Bringing yours down was my counterattack."

"It was you!" Cindy's face twisted in rage. "Allison! You witch!"

Realizing that pleading with Allison was hopeless, Cindy's demeanor flipped, and she started hurling insults.

The crowd gathered to watch the drama unfold grew larger by the second.
