When His Perfect Mask Shattered I Awoke (Anneliese) novel Chapter 735

"If she is not Mrs. Shayman, who is she? She made a deal with me in Mrs. Shayman's name and transferred twenty million to me. That money is real."

Jessica wondered who else would care so much about the child other than Mary.

Wait… Could it be? Jessica reacted, and sure enough, she heard Anneliese say, "She is Gianna's biological mother."

Jessica frowned and said, "I thought you said before that you really got along with Gianna's mother? She even saved you. Isn't she a good person?"

Anneliese didn't want to go into the Malone family's mess in detail. Thus, she said, "I was mistaken before. The one who saved me isn't Gianna's mother. This woman is Pepper, and she is Madam Chalmont's younger sister. She impersonated Mrs. Shayman to see you, clearly trying to trick you into having an abortion under Mrs. Shayman's name. When you refused to comply, she tried to make a deal with you, deliberately causing you to resent the Shayman family."

Jessica had originally believed that Mary wanted to wipe her out completely, so she would never consider being with Zane again. Even if she were fortunate enough to give birth to the child, she would keep away from the Shayman family as far as possible.

As she learned about this, she realized that Pepper had truly gone to great lengths just to pave the way for her daughter.

Jessica clenched the bedsheet beneath her fingers and slowly let out a breath.

To be honest, learning that the woman wasn't actually Mary made her feel a little relaxed. No matter what, after all, it was a good thing that the baby's grandmother didn't want the baby dead. Otherwise, if the child were to learn someday that their own grandmother couldn't tolerate their existence and had even tried to kill them and their mother, that would be unbearably cruel.

Jessica gently caressed her abdomen as she bit her lip and said, "Gianna again. What a vicious mother-and-daughter pair!"

Anneliese agreed wholeheartedly. "Jessica, since the person who threatened and warned you isn't Zane's mother, why don't you reconsider your decision to go abroad? Zane came back from overseas this time and has been looking for you everywhere. He even went to the Malone family and admitted in front of Gianna that you were his girlfriend."

"Why?" Anneliese asked in surprise.

Jessica stood up from the bed and walked to the window.

The setting sun melted into gold, and the distant harbor was coated in flowing amber. A warm breeze carried the scent of coffee from a nearby café, mingled with the salty tang of seawater.

Jessica tilted her face toward the sunset, squinting slightly as she rested both hands over her belly and smiled gently.

"Annie, I've lived in a daze for so many years. First, I was trapped in the Johnson Family. Later, I hid like a rat in the gutter. Even after cutting ties with the Johnson family, I couldn't find my place in the world. I couldn't see my future."
