Sierra asked, "Mom, do you think you've been living well these years?"
The question made Vera's body stiffen a little.
sierra looked at her and continued, “Mom, you may not have to worry about living, but you live in a house under
William's nand spend money from his bank cards. Have you ever gotten the respect from William that a
wife, a family member, should receive?"
Vera's eyes widened, and her face rumed somewhat pale. She lowered her head.
Sierra felt a little regretful for speaking so impulsively. Vera was gentle and weak, and she must be feeling
deeply hurt right now.
She pursed her lips and softly said, "Sorry, Mom. | was too harsh just now."

"You're right,” Vera spoke slowly. "I haven't lived as well as | seem. I'm even worse off than the housekeeper in
the Shaw family, but, Cee, i don't regret it...”
She lifted her head and held a serious expression
Sierra looked confused. "Mom, why?—
“Because of the title of ‘Mrs. Shaw'," Vera's voice was beavy as she spoke calmly
"When | was young, we were poor. My father, your grandfather, made a living by scavenging trash
“0 grew up amidst mockery and gradually becself-conscious, sensitive, and weak. It was precisely because |
wanted to escape those voices that | worked hard to get into university, leaving that small mountain village and
my grandfather behind
“But even after | got to the city and into school, I still couldn't escape the disdain and sneers. People still bullied
and ridiculed me
"That was until | met your father. | knew William was a womanizer and that his affection wouldn't last long, but |

was pregnant with you, and | married into the Shaw family-an ugly duckding rumning into a swan, a perfect

revenge, so they found ways to apologize to me.
At this point, Vera smiled, her face showing a pride Sierra had never seen before.

Sierra was deeply shocked. She had never imagined Vera had been through so much
Her emotions beccomplicated
Vera noticed the surprise on her face and smiled gently. The pride that had appeared earlier disappeared, and
she returned to her usual soft demeanor. Her voice was tender as she spoke, "so, Cee, | don't regret it. If | left the
Shaw residence at this age, | wouldn't know where to go or how to live. Though | don't g respect from William in
the house, | would get even less respect from others if | left him. This is the result I've cto accept, and I'm
already content"
