Elaine's heart sank as soon as she heard those words. It was hard for her to believe that Matilda was thriving so well. They were talking about billions in net worth, far surpassing her own by a significant margin.
Bitterness welled up within her, mixed with a hint of fear. If she were to come face to face with Matilda and inquire about her current situation, how would she respond?
Matilda was unlike Hannah, where Elaine could find solace in her own superiority. Matilda surpassed her in every aspect. She was more beautiful, more refined, more knowledgeable, and even had a better physique. Comparing herself to Matilda was like comparing a chicken to a peacock, no advantage to be found.
Initially, Elaine consoled herself with the thought that she could at least steal Matilda‘s man. But now, upon closer examination, she realized that Jacob, whom she considered her trophy, was likely insignificant in the eyes of others.
At that moment, Charlie couldn‘t help but let out a sigh and said, "Oh, Mom, you have to understand Dad's good intentions just imagine, if you were to meet Matilda and she sincerely thanked you while clasping your hand adorned with million-dollar emerald bracelets, how would you react?"
