Chapter 216

Lilian Pearce’s eyes shimmered, saying, "What’s wrong with you, child? Why do you keep mentioning Chlo-Chlo lately? Haven’t I told you that you are you and she is her, and there’s no need to compare the two of you?"

"It’s because she’s not some poor kid at all, right? That’s why you said that!" Mia Nolan’s mind began to run wild with thoughts.

"Mom, tell me, is she your second daughter from another relationship?!"

She could think of no other explanation.

Because they have a mother-daughter relationship, Lilian Pearce cherishes Chloe Collins, who is also willing to spend a lot on such an expensive gift for her birthday.

Which ordinary family would give such valuable gifts?!

Lilian Pearce’s hand jerked up, hovering in mid-air.

Mia Nolan sneered, "If you want to hit me, then hit me! Hit me!"

Helplessly and angrily, Lilian Pearce put her hand down and said, "Stop letting your imagination run wild, and don’t go gossiping outside!"

"Look at you, you’re getting nervous, you get nervous when I mention your relationship with her!" Tears welled up in Mia Nolan’s eyes.

She was jealous to the point of madness, unable to tolerate her biological mother being so good to a stranger!

It seemed as if she was the one who was superfluous.

Lilian Pearce sighed, turned off the gas stove first, and then led Mia Nolan to sit down on the couch.

"Child, why do you always have such wild thoughts? You are my daughter, how could I treat you poorly?"

"Yes, you are good to me, but you treat Chloe Collins even better, and you have never complained to her!"

"It’s because she is not my daughter, so I never show her my displeasure. Do you understand? I have no right to discipline her!"

She was truly helpless, and with so many ongoing issues, her daughter was still being unreasonable.

"And you still want to deceive me? If you didn’t have an extraordinary relationship with her, would she give you such expensive earrings? Do you know how much these cost? Thirty million!"

Lilian Pearce was surprised, but not too shocked.

It seemed more like she was surprised how Mia Nolan could know about this.

Mia Nolan was very sensitive and pointed at her mom, saying, "You must have known about this a long time ago... Of course, you’ve studied these things for years, how could you not tell the difference between authentic and fake products? You knew it already; you just lied to me!"

She couldn’t help but roar.

Lilian Pearce hurriedly closed the door.

"Lower your voice!"

"Why should I lower my voice? I am your biological daughter, not an illicit child, why should I be secretive?"

"Do you want me to hit you?! Huh?" Lilian Pearce was furious.

Mia Nolan was startled; as far as she could remember, her mother had never yelled at her so loudly.

Even when she was being disciplined, her mother would just scold her with a cold face rather than losing control like she had just a moment ago.

With this, she could be sure that there must be something wrong with Chloe Collins.

First of all, she could be sure that she was not from a poor family like her mother had said. On the contrary, she was very wealthy.

Actually, she was sure that her mother had known about this a long time ago and had kept it from their entire family.

Considering these two points, she couldn’t believe that there was no shady bond between Chloe Collins and her mother unless she was an idiot!

Disappointed, Mia Nolan looked at her mother with teary eyes and ran out.

"Xiao Cai!"

Lilian Pearce hurriedly chased after her, fearing that she might cause some trouble.

Mia Nolan ran very fast and hid in the stairwell, where she cried for a long time.

She texted her brother, Nathaniel Nolan, wanting to tell him about this, but in the end, she dared not send the message.

She knew that her brother had a crush on Chloe Collins all along.

Maybe his infatuation with her had clouded his mind.

If she discussed it with him, she might even be criticized by him.
