Reborn: Another Chance to Leave U

Chapter 436

Chapter 436 See What You Are Doing With Him

Reina clenched her hands, which hung by her side, and answered Vincent's question in silence.

Vincent had always led a charmed and comfortable life, so naturally, he hated women who wrecked others' homes to make a fortune.

Vincent frowned and said, "Reina, you're living with your mother. How can you let her wreck other people's homes?"

Reina tilted her head and replied, "Well, she is my mother, but I can't stop her from doing what she likes."

In fact, Reina tried to pull Lacey back onto the right path. Reina had even gotten a job for Lacey in a factory.

However, Lacey was not pleased. She worked by fits and starts and lacked continuity in the endeavor. Worse still, she fooled around with a group leader who also worked there. When their relationship was discovered by the chiefs, Lacey got fired at once.

Later, when Reina found Lacey another job, Lacey turned her down and stayed at home all day long. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

After all, Lacey was her mother, so she couldn't beat Lacey. They always quarreled. Finally, Reina got downhearted, so she ceased to worry about her mother.

However, after so much time had passed, Lacey became more vicious than

ever.

Lacey added some drugs into her soup before. Now, she was in such big trouble because of Lacey.

Vincent said, "She is your mother. People will listen to their children when they're getting old. You should talk to her and spend more time with her. Moreover, find her a decent job. Everything will be fine."

Inevitably, there was a hint of reprimand and persuasion in his voice.

Reina knew that he meant well.

However, hearing that, she felt even more weighed down.

Vincent didn't know what she had suffered, but he asked her to be as "upright" as him.

Reina looked away from Vincent and took out her phone. She said to the middle-aged woman, "I'll call her now and ask her for the address. Go find her yourself."

Reina really didn't want to get involved in anything related to Lacey.

When Reina dialed Lacey's number, she could only hear the cold

mechanical voice, reminding her over and over again that Lacey had turned off her phone.

Reina called twice, but no one answered, so she gave up.

"She didn't answer."

The woman sneered, "Really? Did you collude with her to fool me around?

"You are her daughter. Since she didn't pick it up, then you have to give me the money she took from my husband!"

Reina looked indifferently, but her eyes were unusually clear and steady. "She is the one who cheated you out of our money, but I didn't spend even a single cent. If you want to get your money back, please find her yourself."

The woman yelled angrily, "Why should I trust you? Maybe she raised you with the money she stole from other women's husbands!

"She brought you up all these years with that dirty money, but you are not willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars for her, are you?"

Reina remained unmoved and said again, "I didn't spend even a single cent,

and I wouldn't repay the money for her."

When Reina's father was still alive, it was the Harward family who

supported her.

Later, when the Harward family declined, Lacey directly ran away and even took away the little bit of money Reina's father had on him.

Since Reina could remember, Lacey had never been nice to her even after

everything that she had done for Reina.

Since Lacey gave birth to her, she was forever in Lacey's debt. That was

why Reina always supported Lacey.

But now Reina didn't want to support her anymore.

Lacey totally let her down.

If Lacey wanted Reina's life, she could just return it to her.

But Reina would never take responsibility for Lacey's mistakes again.

The middle-aged woman didn't believe Reina at all. "You said you never spent her money. What nonsense! You just don't want to pay me the money,

right?

"Look at the fancy clothes on you. If you didn't buy them with your mother's money, where did you get them?"

The clothes that Reina was wearing today were stuffed into her wardrobe by Jaylon two days ago.

When she saw the person who came out of Lacey's room this morning, she was all twisted up inside. So she randomly put on a suit and went out. Only now did she remember that what she wore was bought by Jaylon.

Just the top was equivalent to her three months' wages.

Vincent had an elder sister who often bought pricey handbags and designer

clothes. So he knew quite a bit about famous brands.

The design of the top on Reina was very unique. Moreover, it was custom- made, so it couldn't be a knock-off.

He was on Reina's side just now, but now he was faltering. "Reina, who gave

you the clothes on you?"

He suddenly thought of her relationship with Jaylon. "If I remember correctly, Jaylon seems to have a fiancée. You are seeing him now. Then his

fiancée..."

Vincent felt that he had seen the truth and said with a disappointed scowl, "Reina, you used to be a good girl and took great care of your parents. Why

are you acting like this?"

Vincent said that out loud, and almost everyone in the office heard it.

Those colleagues who were close to Reina did not say a word, but some of

those who were not familiar with her began to whisper.

Reina wanted to refute loudly that she didn't do anything wrong.

But she did.

Though she only did it once, she could never wash it off.

Seeing that she did not speak, Vincent was even more certain of the answer. He advised seriously, "Reina, you should not do those things.

"Jaylon has a fiancée. You are like your mother. A homewrecker is..."

"When did the girl I'm courting become a homewrecker?"

Vincent was interrupted by a sharp voice.

Everyone looked over and saw a man slowly walking into the office.

The ice-cool man was tall and handsome, exuding masculinity.

His dark eyes, like a bottomless sea with thick ink dripping in its center,

were forbidding.

The others did not know Jaylon, but Vincent had seen him before.

The last time they met, Vincent had sensed Jaylon's strong aura. The more

Vincent thought about it, the more he believed that he should not be afraid of Jaylon.

Now that they met again, Vincent recalled how panic he felt when his car was stopped by Jaylon that day.

However, Vincent's face and movements rarely betrayed a sign of nerves.

He looked at Jaylon evenly. "You said that you were courting Reina, then why did you make a hickey on her neck?"

Jaylon walked over and put his arm around Reina's shoulder. He pulled her

from Vincent to his side and said in a low and steady voice, "I forced her.

Any objections?"

Reina looked up blankly. Her gaze fell on Jaylon's strong jawline and his

tightly pursed lips.

She did not expect that Jaylon would not only take it for granted when he

was being tough on her, but he did the same with others.

This was the first time she didn't hate his overbearing and petulant

behavior.

Considering his personality, he would give people against him a hard time.

On the contrary, he would unconditionally protect the people who were on

his side.

She pursed her lips and didn't push him away.

"Why are you here?"

Jaylon glanced at her and said, "Come to see what you are doing with him."

Reina was speechless.

Vincent had already guessed that Reina might have been forced by Jaylon. Now that Jaylon admitted it in front of him, he was instantly enraged. Vincent stood up for the woman he liked. "Jaylon, you forced Reina. Did you

ever consider how that might make her feel?"

"You already have a fiancée. If you keep pestering her like this, what will

your fiancée and her family think of Reina when they know it?" Jaylon said calmly, "I'd better cancel the engagement."
