That year, the beautiful and gentle Trisa was charmed by Richard.
She held back all her pride and turned into a humble and charming person. She tried to convince her father and talk about her future. She was trying to say that she wanted to be in a relationship with Richard, who was obviously a talented man.
At that time, her ordinary family could not do matchmaking carelessly.
But Trisa still hoped that she would get a reply from Richard's family one day, thinking that she might succeed in this love story similar to those telling the tales of women in a struggle to get their loved one.
At that time, her heart was nervous and she was somewhat confused. It was the first time she had gone crazy about someone. Her mind was still like that of a young girl who had just experienced love.
So when Trisa first saw him, she didn't just fall in love with Richard, but also with the Irwan family that sparkled like gold.
But she did not think that her father would say that the two of them could not marry. The reason was that a banker family like them was not enough for the famous Irwan family.
She thought that it was the origin that caused them not to be destined to be together, so she didn't ask her father anymore. As it turned out, Richard was already in a relationship with a young woman from the Mayer family. Her family said that to make up an excuse.
The young Trisa was really arrogant. She was self-driven and stubborn. She hated feeling defeated so much and despised Janice's existence as she had stolen her dream guy.
She didn't want to give up, but her father's sharp words cut her off.
Since the opponent was the Mayer family, they wouldn't be able to beat them!
In order to bring her family to the top as soon as possible, Trisa's gangster father then decided to marry his daughter to the Irwan family.
So when Trisa was twenty, her father sent her daughter to Randell's bed.
This marriage was indeed prepared by her father, but in the end, she managed to marry into the Irwan family as she wanted.
Every day, she could only watch Janice and Richard loving each other affectionately from afar. Meanwhile, she had to sleep with the stupid brother who was completely incompetent.
Since Trisa had lived like a lion all her life, how could she possibly love a donkey?
But she could not go against her father, therefore she had to be patient and hold back her anger when she saw Richard and his wife looking intimate every day. Seeing Janice's happy face tormented her so much.
Recently, due to the reputation of the Irwan family, Trisa's family had thrown all the darkness they once lived in and become a giant competitor in the investment industry today.
However, her life would always be a joke all over Jakarta. A beautiful and arrogant woman like her eventually had to bend her knees and be arranged by her father.
These painful memories always fueled her hatred. And over the years, Trisa's love for Richard had long turned into vengeance with time.
She wanted to tear Janice's smile to shreds, she also wanted Richard to regret his life too.
She wanted the entire Irwan family and even Simon Irwan to see with their own eyes that their eldest son had married the wrong person and that he himself was never in favor to be the competent successor.
Taking advantage of this, the Irwan family would slowly but surely become Trisa's. And after decades, this family will fall into the hands of her son.
This was women's jealousy— sad but scary.
Even if one's appearance would grow old with time, their hearts wouldn't necessarily do the same. Not all people managed to mature and be grateful for their lives as they aged. Some would even turn more violent than before.
Trisa looked fed up with her life, while Richard looked like a madman.
He shouted angrily, shocking everyone until they shifted their attention towards him all at once. "Trisa, don't talk nonsense like that! It doesn't matter if you have a problem with me or my wife, but why do you involve my two children? Do you still have any conscience left? They.."
"Conscience?" Trisa cut it as if she had heard a joke.
She looked at Richard derisively, then her gaze fell on Simon. "Are you asking if I have a conscience? Dad, let me ask you, my own real dad sent me to Randell's bed at the time, do you know this?"
Simon's response was nothing but stifling silence.
Trisa stared at Simon mockingly. "You seem to know it, right? At that time, everyone in the capital knew that your second son's brain was sick and dull!
"Randell has been living in the shadow of the magnificent Irwan family, and because of his stupidity, he couldn't even get a wife. And you know about this well, father. But you still agreed with what my father did by giving me to him, and it completely ruined my life!" Trisa added.
"Do any of you understand how I feel? Do you still want to talk about conscience now? This is just ridiculous!"
At this moment, Trisa felt her blood boil and spiraled out of control by years of jealousy and the injustice she had suffered.
She laughed loudly with tears in her eyes, the pleasure of revenge was evident on her face…
At this moment, Trisa sniffed and continued in a triumphant tone, "Yes, when you gave birth to Lilia, I ordered someone to swap her with another baby. Who would have thought that Sylvia was also delivering in the room next door?"
"Did you know that I have to suffer every day by seeing Janice living happily with you and giving you Mellisa and Lilia? What about me? What about my happiness? I've been stuck with this stupid Randell all day long!" She added, her voice cracked a little.
After Trisa told the truth, Janice finally stepped forward and squeezed her shoulder firmly. "Trisa, why do you have the heart to do it? What do you want from me? What do you want from my family?"
"I want you to go!" Trisa pushed Janice away, she even patted the shirt on her shoulder that Janice had just touched in disgust. "What do I want from your family? Of course I want you and your child to die! I want you to feel how cruel this world is!"
"Everyone was amazed when the best son of the Irwan family managed to marry the daughter of a general, but this strange combination never ceases to amaze me. Do you know the reason why I love Leila so much? Because I want to train her well!" She continued.
"I could be a great and tough woman from my gangster family back then. Of course, training her to be the wolf next to you is easy. I always prepared that one kid to be able to set you up at any time and prepare to bite you back!"
Trisa spoke with an insulting laugh. After slowly exhaling an annoyed sigh, she shook her head and laughed.
"Robert Pangestu was surprisingly smart. After realizing the issue with Lilia's birth, he didn't hesitate to fake a new birth certificate so that things could go on as usual. However, his technique wasn't very good, which made me have to clean up the mess he left behind, and it cost me a lot of money. Oh, by the way, Lilia. Did you and Jean go to the hospital to investigate the delivery room files a while ago?" She asked.
"Of course you didn't find anything there, in the end, all of it could only be ruled out the nurse mistakenly filled out your birth certificate and caused you to get switched! My family has a large investment fund in Minerva Hospital. Of course faking a document or two was an easy matter at the time."
Trisa seemed to have exposed all the secrets she knew. This relentless truth made the rest of the Irwan family's main members choke in their breath a little.
After saying this, she slowly looked at Mellisa. "I'm so glad that Leila is such a smart child, she can perfectly apply the knowledge I instilled in her!
"Mellisa, when you were pronounced dead five years ago, do you know how happy I was at that time? Do you know how happy I was when I saw Janice cry and scream at that time?? Leila is really a smart kid, she realizes that you have started to doubt her origins. She also discovered that Mike Austin had feelings for you, therefore, she immediately planned to get rid of you!" Trisa added.
"Didn't dad also praise and acknowledge Leila's greatness? She was truly a gifted girl who could stand alone at the top. How could she not? She did not hesitate to kill her sister who had been with her for nearly two decades. If it weren't for Lilia having broken the balance, she would have had a bright future!"
"But I have to admit that Lilia has a great amount of luck. The gang of thugs I sent a while ago actually intended to get rid of you. I just did not think that they'd actually pursue Mellisa… Maybe it is the will of God."
The longer she talked, the more her heart felt relieved. Trisa found herself happy with the revelation of all secrets buried in her heart for more than 20 years.
When she finished talking, Mellisa's cold eyes were fixed on her face. "Where's Leila?"
