"Stop lecturing me. Don't tell me that you still love Edward." Jessica glowered at the woman. She clearly knew what her cousin was thinking of.
"Jessica, how'd you know that?" asked Coco. She was awed by how sharp and smart her cousin could be.Coco had been hiding her interest in Edward and thought that she'd done so well. However, her cousin's remarks suggested otherwise.
"Well, hell.You can't hide any secret from me." Jessica smiled coldly. She didn't bother to tear the mask off Coco's face because she never thought of Coco as a threat against her for Edward's love. It was different now though. Everything had changed and she wouldn't pretend to be ignorant about Coco's affection for Edward, the hideous bastard.
"Why did you pretend to know nothing about this before?" asked Coco in disbelief and embarrassment.It was difficult for her to accept this. Had she been fooled, played, and used ruthlessly by Jessica all along?Did Jessica feel good as she watched her pretend and act as stupidly and naively as a kid? Jessica had been with Edward for a long long time before Daisy came between them. Thus, she had the right to laugh at any woman who tried to woo Edward.
"Could we talk peacefully and calmly if I had exposed your hilarious love for my lover? Could you still want to help me out of my troubles unconditionally if I had laughed at your foolishness?We would have hated each other already." Jessica stared at her cousin disdainfully and thought that Coco was nothing but an incurable romantic and an old fool.
"Even so, you couldn't pretend to be totally fine with this and think otherwise. Did you feel a sense of accomplishment by making a fool out of me this way?" It was a sudden turn. The two cousins who appeared to love each other just a few moments ago instantly turned hostile as they accused one another.

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
he will have to stay in the mental ward. That will save you from a lot of dilemmas, right?" Jessica laughed scornfully. She had thought that Coco's house was her only shelter. Clearly, she was terribly wrong.All her efforts had come to zero. All people had chosen to betray her. Now she got nobody to watch her back. That was just both pathetic and desperate.
"I can't do anything for you anymore if that's how you think of me. I will not allow you to leave Auntie in a mental ward. I talk with you in this way because I need you to think carefully and calmly. I have never intended to break away from you or your mom. We're still family. Do you understand?" Coco frowned. She still loved Edward but then, she also knew that Edward felt nothing for her. Therefore, she decided to take no action and start to forget him.Most times you just couldn't own the man you loved.
"I'm sorry.I was being emotional and unreasonable," answered Jessica apologetically.Jessica also understood that a strange and new environment would harm her mom's health further. However, the way her cousin strongly reprimanded her had embarrassed her. So, to save her face, Jessica said such ungrateful and emotional remarks which she had regretted almost as instantly as she said them.
