Chapter 706: Chapter 703: The Truth Comes to Light (Part 2)

Jean Jarvis stared blankly at Cedric Grant for two seconds, then suddenly gave a desolate smile. "Cedric Grant, are you even a man? Trying to push all the blame onto me at a time like this!

Yes, I brought it all on myself. I chose this humiliation! Back then, to be with you, I was willing to betray my best friend, sacrifice my reputation, and willingly be the other woman, your mistress!

But affairs of the heart are never one person’s fault, are they? Before we even got together, didn’t you go behind Skylar Hayes’s back countless times, telling me I was more understanding and more interesting than she was?p>

Do you dare say you were just making small talk? Do you dare say you didn’t already have other ideas about me back then?

If it weren’t for your suggestive and ambiguous words, I wouldn’t have held onto hope. And maybe I wouldn’t have been cruel enough to steal my best friend’s husband!"

Perhaps realizing everything was already out in the open, Jean Jarvis decided to lay it all bare. "Heh heh heh... Yes, I knew Skylar Hayes had married a rich man. After she became a wealthy socialite, I was so envious of her! And when I met you, when I saw her living situation, I became even more envious and jealous!

We both came from ordinary families. Our backgrounds were the same, and I’m not any less beautiful than she is. The only thing she had on me was a college degree, right?

So why did she get to be the wife of a rich man, while I was destined to live a poor and miserable life? Of course I couldn’t accept that! I also wanted a life of luxury and splendor, a life where I never had to worry about food or clothes.

Originally, I had Adam Warren kidnap her just to get a hefty ransom. But then, I changed my mind.

So what if I got the money? Money always runs out. I figured it was better to just become your woman. Even without a title, I could have a lifetime of money to spend and a life free of worries.

At that time, all I was thinking was that as long as I had money, as long as I could live a comfortable life without any worries, that would be enough! I wasn’t thinking about kicking Skylar Hayes out and taking her place. That’s why I was willing to be your mistress, kept by you on the side.

But a person’s greed grows, and they always want more and more. Eventually, I grew tired of being mocked and judged by others.

Especially once Chloe grew up and reached a marriageable age. Her background became a stain on her reputation.

An illegitimate daughter... what man would want a girl with her background? What family would let a girl like her marry in?

So, the only way to change her fate was for me to become the real Mrs. Grant, and for my daughter to become the true young lady of the Grant Family.

And so, a year ago, I came up with a plan to drive Skylar Hayes out of the Grant Family for good and take her place. I lied and said that when she was kidnapped all those years ago, she had also been violated.

I also had a fake paternity test report made to make you think Clara Grant wasn’t your biological daughter!

My plan was a complete success. You didn’t suspect a thing. You divorced Skylar Hayes, kicked her and her daughter out of the Grant Family, and brought my daughter and me into your home."

As Jean Jarvis’s story came to an end, the crowd of spectators grew even more restless, and the entire hall was instantly filled with the sound of their chatter.

Some condemned Jean Jarvis for her viciousness and ruthlessness. Others sympathized with Skylar Hayes for her unfortunate fate, for choosing her friends poorly, and for ending up with the wrong man. Still others mocked and jeered at Cedric Grant for being a brainless fool who had been played.

Even Sienna Hale and Jenna Hale, who were off to one side, exchanged a look and let out an incredulous gasp. "My god!"
