Chapter 1648: Kristina Kingston’s Attitude
Kristina Kingston listened impatiently, rolling her eyes and sitting back in the chair.
She turned on the speakerphone, casually placed the phone on the vanity, and picked up another earring to hang on her ear.
"Mrs. Kingston, I beg you..." Monica Usher’s helplessness and fragility could be heard in her voice, like she was clutching the last straw to save her life.
She cried, "I have some money left, can you help me find someone reliable to raise the child? If you do the search, that person won’t dare to dismiss it casually and will wholeheartedly take care of this child."
"Mrs. Kingston, I’m begging you... Please? The child is innocent..."
"Mrs. Kingston..." On the other end, Monica Usher was sobbing uncontrollably, "I’m begging you..."
Kristina Kingston sighed, frowning, feeling a bit irritated.
"Mrs. Kingston, I had someone call Justin Kingston. I originally wanted to entrust this matter to him, but... he simply doesn’t want to care about me."
"It’s right that he doesn’t want to care about you!" Kristina Kingston finally spoke up, indicating that she had been listening to the previous conversation.
"Monica Usher, I’ll tell you, Justin is doing great with Mia now!" After issuing the warning, her tone carried a bit of pride, "My Mia is expecting again, so stop trying to interfere, put away all your little schemes, and stay away from them!"
"Mrs. Kingston, you misunderstood, I haven’t, I’ve already..." Monica Usher hesitated, had she stopped loving? Clearly not.
That deep love embedded in one’s bones, that heart-wrenching love, how could it be forgotten just like that?
To avoid misunderstandings, and to prevent the aunt from despising her more, Monica Usher desperately explained, "I’ve long since dared not hope for anything from Justin, I’m just worried about this child, and I know Justin won’t let me off, nor will he ever forgive me."
"As long as you know that." Kristina Kingston picked up the lipstick.
"Mrs. Kingston... the police are about to arrive." Monica Usher was racing against time, extremely anxious, "Mrs. Kingston, I beg you, won’t you please? Think about how you once... truly liked me."
"I was once blind, but now my eyes are fine, seeing things, recognizing people, unbelievably clear!" Kristina Kingston leaned forward in the chair, applying lipstick in front of the mirror.
Every word, like blades, pierced Monica Usher’s heart.
Once, Kristina Kingston treated Monica Usher like a daughter, considered her as a daughter-in-law, she had genuinely opened her heart.
"Mrs. Kingston... I was wrong... you have children too, I beg you... even if it’s just for the sake of doing a good deed?"
In her desperation, Monica Usher actually said —
"You could accept Anton Miller; with your compassionate and generous heart, you can surely accept my baby as well."
"Can that concept be the same?" Kristina Kingston was enraged, the epitome of clarity, "I accepted Anton Miller! This family will only get better! Our Mia likes him, Justin likes him too! I have to love what they love! I have no choice but to like him!"
In Monica Usher’s eyes, today Kristina Kingston had completely changed, even colder! More ruthless than Justin!
"..." Monica Usher had no words, her mind was a bit muddled, how could Mrs. Kingston be so hard to negotiate with?
The last hope was about to be shattered!
"Accepting your child would just add trouble for my son and daughter-in-law every day." Kristina Kingston was somewhat stone-hearted, with a calm tone, "Monica Usher, hand the child over to the police, someone will handle the matter for you, stop calling me."
With that, she hung up the phone directly, taking a deep breath in annoyance, "Such a mood spoiler, crying over the phone on New Year’s Day, bad luck!"
Elders might really care about these things, so New Year’s blessings have always been important.
"Grandma!!"
The children’s tender voices came from outside the door, soon the door opened, and Kristina Kingston instantly switched to a smiling face, "Up already?"
"Grandma, Happy New Year!!"
"Wow! Grandma, you look beautiful today!"
"Happy New Year, my darlings!" She quickly got up, bent down, and stretched out her hands to embrace the entering Gigi and Dolly.
