Chapter 661
Ethan really did resemble Kenneth. Both of them were mostly expressionless.
Kenneth’s expression made it hard to discern his feelings at the moment.
After they had walked away, Olivia asked, “Mom, are you okay?”
“Why wouldn’t I be? She’s just as underhanded as ever. She was just trying to make me angry.”
As if recalling something, Janice smiled.
“Her tactics weren’t that ingenious. She simply manipulated my feelings for Kenneth.
“The more I cared about him, the easier I would lose control of my emotions.
“Even if I knew she was setting me up, I could never stop myself from falling for it. And the
misunderstandings piled up over time.”
“Since they were misunderstandings, have you ever tried to explain yourself?”
Janice brought Olivia to a cafe on the top floor to relax. She stirred her coffee in the air-
conditioned cafe and told Olivia about her past.
“If he loves you, he should believe you even if you didn’t explain yourself. If he doesn’t love you,
anything you do would irritate him.
“I was also stubborn then. I kept believing he would see that woman for who she was and return to
1.
“I’ve committed suicide several times. I’ve jumped off a building, slit my wrists, taken sleeping
pills, and even jumped in the sea.
“Everyone thought I was forcing him to come back to me with my life. In reality, I had lost the will
to live.
“He hurt me so much that I became mentally ill. I became quick-tempered, and people started
calling me crazy.”
Janice liked drinking black coffee. She took a few sips to collect herself.
“But people forgot that I was his wife. The woman he rightfully married. No one felt for me.
“They thought I was a fool that didn’t get what she wanted and a failure that couldn’t even keep
her husband at her side.”
Olivia patted Janice’s hand. “Mom …”
“It’s all in the past now. You should just stay away from that woman. The kindness you saw is just
a facade. After so many years, I only realized why I had been so unhinged back then.
“She had planned it all out. She bribed the people around me and learned about my habits. She
knew that I had fresh flowers in my room every day. So, she had someone spray them with drugs.”
Olivia was stunned. “What kind of drug?”
“One that was colorless and odorless. Prolonged exposure to it would cause delusions and
emotional breakdowns. People exposed to it would be driven to madness slowly.”
“How could she be so evil?”novelbin
Janice said calmly, “Liv, not everyone is born into a well-off family like us. I’m not saying that
impoverished people are inferior, but they lead difficult lives.
“They would do anything in their power to improve their situations because they have
experienced hardships.
“Getting with Kenneth was the only way Jessica could change her life, the lives of her whole
family, and even the lives of her offspring. Naturally, she would cling to Kenneth with all her
might.”
“Does Ms. Potts come from an impoverished family?”
“Yeah. That’s why she has learned to read people well. Maybe she’s not even in love with Kenneth,
but she would act docile and play the victim to keep her position as Mrs. Miller Senior.
“But men just eat that act up. Back then, she would frequently do things to agitate me. Pair that
up with the drugs she used on me. I started to become unhinged.”
“Why didn’t you tell Mr. Miller Senior?”
Janice smiled faintly. “Why would I tell him? They deserve each other. It doesn’t matter if it was
the drugs or something else.
“The fact is that I had slit my wrists, jumped into the sea, and jumped off a building. He never caredabout me.
“Even if I used to love him deeply. The love slowly disappeared after my repeated suicide attempts.
“It took me years to heal physically and mentally. I hope they stay together forever and never spreadtheir toxicity to anyone else.”
