Chelsea opened the door and saw her elderly mother, Judith sitting on her wicker chair while watching TV. Judith had gotten weaker these days, so she mostly sat on her wicker chair and watched TV to spend her days.

She couldn't even cook and clean as much as she used to, much to Chelsea's annoyance.

'Someone got to pull her own weight around here,' Chelsea thought. But she still respected her mother enough not to say that.

At least her mother still had the initiative to clean the house and cook dinner for all of them. It was the least she could do so she wouldn't be a burden in this house.

She strode through the living room and passed her mother without even saying hi, so Judith turned her neck towards her and asked, "Chelsea, where did you go today?"

Chelsea halted her step and turned around to face her mother, "When did you learn to be a pesky old bitch?" Chelsea asked rudely. Though she wouldn't kick her mother out because she was partly useless these days, it didn't mean she would tolerate any bullshit from her old mother.

Judith's heartbeat skipped for a second. She was scared of her own daughter these days because Chelsea had become crazier after Tommy left her, and she got attacked by a mysterious man that ruined her face.

Aside from that, Judith also had this strange feeling the moment his son-in-law, Vincent Gray, stepped in and tried to help Chelsea during the hard times.

It felt like… Vincent's presence only further drove Chelsea insane with all the delusion that he would marry her eventually.

Even Judith knew that would never happen.

Chloe was obviously much more beautiful than Chelsea. Their appearance was like earth and sky. Chelsea was very average-looking because she took her facial features from Judith.

Meanwhile, Chloe took the facial features of her bastard husband, who ran away, leaving Judith and her two daughters in a difficult situation for years.

'Vincent is still a man. No man wants to marry an average looking woman when they have the chance to get the most beautiful woman on earth with his money,' Judith thought. 'Besides, Chelsea's face is ruined now, and she has become unhinged too. I don't think Vincent will ever consider her to replace Chloe, especially when I know really well that Vincent loves Chloe so much.'

'But why does he keep sending money to us? Is it just to take care of us?' Judith asked herself. 'He is a kind man. But I don't think he has enough reason to send us so much money when Chloe has betrayed him….'

"S—Sorry, I was just curious. Besides, the boys are asking your whereabouts," Judith said.

Chelsea frowned, "I went to the hospital with Aaron. I want to consult with the doctor about my plastic surgery. I want to get the work done as soon as possible so I can meet with Vincent again."

Judith tried to hide her disgust as much as possible, not wanting to trigger Chelsea's unstable rage.

She just couldn't imagine Chelsea getting married to Vincent. There was an icky feeling in her heart. She always saw Vincent as her son-in-law who married Chloe, not Chelsea. And the reason why she always took his side because she believed Chloe should be grateful to have such an amazing husband like Vincent.

"I—I see…." Judith nodded reluctantly. "What did the doctor say?" She asked further.

Chelsea's mood turned bitter instantly. Her eyes darkened, and she replied, "I failed to meet the doctor, because I accidentally bumped into that ungrateful bitch Chloe."

Judith's eyes widened. She almost jumped out of her wicker chair when Chelsea mentioned Chloe's name, "How is she? Is she alright?"

"Well, she's alive at least," Chelsea sneered. "Why do you ask? Don't tell me that you still care for that ungrateful whore. I thought she's dead in your eyes."

"I never say that!" Judith denied. "Although she made a huge mistake by leaving Vincent, doesn't mean that I disowned her. I just want to teach her a lesson, so she will return to her husband and be a good wife."

"A good wife? Hahah! I am a much better wife than she will ever be! I will be a good wife for Vincent and mother for our child in the future!" Chelsea said. "You shouldn't care about her anyway. She left her husband and abandoned all of us for another man that is probably a lot worse than Vincent anyway. She belongs in the street, not with a handsome, rich, responsible man like Vincent."

Judith couldn't hold her disgust, so she said, "And he should marry someone like you?"

"Obviously," the corner of Chelsea's lips perked up, which made her scar rise up as well, giving the sinister image of a female joker planning on something devious. "Don't you see how suitable we are? Vincent and I are both hard workers. He is a CEO of a billion-dollar company that makes him busy all year round, while I am an independent woman who can get my own money without a man's help—at least when I was still working as a teacher."

"There is no correlation whatsoever," Judith said.

"Of course there is! For a busy man like him, he'd want an understanding wife who will not pester him. Unlike Chloe—that ungrateful whore who just stands still and complains about Vincent's busy schedule. I can work with him as well. Maybe he will give me a small loan of a million dollars to start my own company, then we will be a powerful couple, husband and wife, both becoming great business moguls!"

Judith shook her head. She didn't understand how things went so bad after Chloe left Vincent.

From their money getting cut, Tommy leaving, Chelsea getting attacked, and now she started to get crazy over her sister's husband.

It was as if Chloe's disappearance opened a pandora's box that ruined the lives of everyone around her.

"Stop thinking about him, Chelsea. Vincent is Chloe's husband, they're not even divorced."
