Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss
Chapter 1372 - Chapter 1372 Chapter 1344 Wrong is Wrong No Explanation

Chapter 1372: Chapter 1344: Wrong is Wrong, No Explanation Needed Chapter 1372: Chapter 1344: Wrong is Wrong, No Explanation Needed Kiara, as a woman with a doctorate in past and present lives, a true elite intellectual, of course would not resort to the actions of the villains in TV series who break up lovers with violence.

For example, she would never point at someone’s nose and call them a Vixen, or say things like “The threshold of my home is too high for a woman like you, you don’t deserve …”.

Such outdated lines were beneath Mrs. Kiara’ dignity to utter.

She expressed her sympathy for Flora Jim in a gentle manner but was not willing to make the slightest concession in her position, refusing any moral coercion, even if it made her seem somewhat unapproachable.

“I’m sorry, Miss Jim, but I’m afraid I cannot achieve the outcome you desire. To be honest, I have better ways to make you disappear forever from Arlong’s sight, but I chose to come in person–this is my way of showing you some respect. I don’t want to say anything hurtful, provided that you don’t stab at my heart,” Kiara articulated.

Arlong was the family bond that Mrs. Kiara just couldn’t let go of in her heart.

“Just because someone took a wrong path for a moment, does it mean they don’t deserve happiness for a lifetime? I have tried hard to learn and improve. Why, why must it be like this toward me?”

Flora Jim had too much resentment in her heart, yet Kiara simply shook her head.

“You’re resorting to moral coercion again. I study Psychology, and I don’t want to use my professional knowledge against you, so please give up your tactics and let’s discuss the matter at hand. It’s easy to say ‘took a wrong path for a moment’, but have you ever considered, everyone who does something wrong has to pay a price, including myself, no one is exempt. If you don’t believe it, go to the prison and look around. There are indeed some people with very sympathetic stories, but regardless of their reasons, if you do something wrong, there must be a price to pay, even if you were forced to commit the crime. If you cry out in court saying ‘I know it was wrong’, do you think the judge will let you go?”

In her past life, Kiara killed her enemies to avenge her child and then committed suicide after the revenge, taking responsibility for her actions without regret, but she never justified her actions by claiming she was compelled or had realized her wrongdoing.

Being wrong was wrong; she wouldn’t explain it to anyone, nor did she need anyone’s sympathy.

“You’re too cold-hearted…” Flora Jim despaired.

Kiara nodded, “Yes, on this issue, I am very cold-hearted. I’ll ask you in return, what if one day your sister Emily Martin grows up and brings a man home, telling you he’s a former Duck King, would you be happy and bless them?”

“No, I cannot!”

“If you cannot even do that, why should I?”

Kiara’s counter-question left Flora Jim speechless.

“Imagine this, the man tells you that he has given up his past and really wants to settle down. He deceives Emily by not talking about his past and acts like a regular person. Everything seems fine, but what if one day, while they are walking down the street, they suddenly encounter one of his former clients, and then she finds out she has been lied to. Guess, what would her reaction be?”

“Stop talking…” Listening was painful for Flora Jim, and she had no comeback.

“In TV series or films, scriptwriters magnify the greatness of love, saying love is invincible and doesn’t care about your past, but reality isn’t so beautiful because every one of us has emotions and desires; we are just mortals, after all.”

Mortals can’t be saints, and even if they don’t mind at first, as the days go by, every reminder of those things would be like a stab in the heart, causing emotional distress, and a once-happy home would be no more.

“Unless you can hide the truth forever, the moment it gets exposed, the person who was kept in the dark would be severely impacted, even questioning life and developing various psychological disorders. And all of this can’t be resolved by saints saying ‘I know it’s wrong, why can’t you forgive’, For your own good, as well as for Arlong, being together would not be the best choice. If it came to that point, you and Arlong would both be in a terrible place, and even I couldn’t save you. My brother is human, and so are you; I cannot bear to see two young people walk down a path of destruction.”

The movies only show a fleeting few seconds, giving a close-up of the male lead’s face and pairing it with sentimental lines, earning a sea of tears from the audience, who then feel reassured in their belief in love.

But in fact, it has been proven that love is worthless against gossip and rumors.

Once he’d walked away from that TV screen, James Manfield had to face daily psychological torment and endure the strange looks of those in the know. How strong must one’s mental resilience be to not warp under such pressure?

Having a wife who wasn’t original wasn’t uncommon these days, and it wasn’t much of an issue.

But the fact that his wife was once a “Vixen” made it fundamentally different. Don’t mention that society now practices monogamy–even in ancient times, when polygamy with multiple concubines was the rule, there were distinctions between favored and “vixen” concubines. Vixen concubines were those redeemed from the brothels or actresses. Even when bordellos were legal, such distinctions existed. How much more so now, when selling one’s body is met with legal opposition and moral condemnation, leading to the ostracism by the masses?

“You truly live up to being a Psychologist. Everything you say leaves me no room to argue,” Flora Jim said helplessly.

“No, there’s no Psychologist here, nor a socialite, just two sisters caring for their sister-in-law. At this moment, I’m merely Arlong’s sister,” replied the other.

If Kiara had spoken with contempt or taken a high-and-mighty attitude, Flora Jim would have believed she had the strength to fight back. But Kiara reasoned without discrimination, discussing matters factually, which made things exceedingly difficult for Flora Jim.

“I’m sorry, but I still can’t leave Arlong. I’ve truly fallen in love with him,” she said.

Kiara sighed upon hearing Flora Jim’s words, “It seems you won’t turn back until you hit the south wall. If you can’t understand my concerns, then I might have to resort to using some methods.”

She hadn’t wanted to use the hypnosis her father had taught her in a situation like this, but if pushed, it would be a different matter.

The atmosphere in the room instantly tensed up.

Just then, there was a sound from the yard; Yena Jim had returned.

Through the window, one could see the young girl had bought a lot of groceries, her bike basket was full.

Kiara seized the last chance for conversation and stood up.

“I hope you will take my words to heart. If our conversation today is effective, it will be a relief for both of us. But if it proves ineffective, to protect my family–”

Kiara paused, her gaze suddenly sharp. Flora Jim’s face turned deathly pale.

The sliver of hope she’d held onto was nothing more than a bet on Kiara’s sympathy. When she realized she had lost her last bargaining chip, she was engulfed in Desperation.

“Pretty Aunt, are you leaving?” Yena Jim asked Kiara anxiously, who was picking her bag up, standing at the door.

Kiara looked at the Child with a gentle gaze, “Yes, I have other matters and can’t stay for dinner.”

“Can you stay, please… It’s been so long since we’ve had guests over.”

The Child’s sincere voice and pleading eyes struck a chord in Kiara’s heart.

“Yayaka, don’t delay your big sister!” Flora Jim, fearing Kiara would say something to Yayaka, hurriedly intervened, her tone unavoidably too harsh.

In that instant, the longing in the young girl’s eyes fell like stars from the sky, wrenching Kiara’s heart.
