Chapter 886
“It's all your fault, Johanna!” Vanessa pointed at the woman, her face full of hatred. “I did everything I could to raise
you and send you abroad for your studies, but in return, you kept trying to get back at me just because you couldn't
stand the thought of me getting remarried! That child of mine would've been perfectly fine if you hadn't shown up!”
The more she spoke, the more aggravated she became. “Had I known you'd turn out this way, I would've left you
with your gambling-obsessed father instead!”
Johanna remained calm despite being regarded as an ingrate. “I was raised by money, not you. You had the
housekeepers take care of me ever since I was born. Sure, you'd carry me at times, but you spent every other
moment living for yourself. You never picked me up from school, and you hardly ever played with me.”

him when he became hooked on gambling, and using your position as my caretaker, you sold those houses along
with all the jewelry he gave me to fund your extravagant lifestyle.”
Vanessa scoffed. “You're all grown up now, aren't you, Johanna? Are you shifting the blame on me now? Was I
wrong to have raised you and paid for your education?”
“I'm not blaming you. I just want you to recall what you have done,” Johanna iterated. “How often did you even
spend time with me? Also, you sent me abroad when I was still a kid only because you felt I was in your way, and
you kept funding my studies simply because you saw potential in my looks...”
The young woman paused briefly before concluding, “You only think of me as a pawn. You did all that for me hoping
that if you were to ever divorce, you'd at least still have me to keep funding your extravagant lifestyle.”
Timothy pulled Johanna into his arms, feeling utterly sorry for her.
Those words stabbed into Vanessa's heart like a knife, and she couldn't seem to refute them.
“I married Timothy back then because I still wanted to be with you and call you my mom. I didn't do it to get back
at you,” Johanna explained as she felt her eyes sting. “I know how smart you are. You should've known that as your
daughter, I would've made sure you continued to live a good life as long as I am with Timothy.”
Vanessa froze as she finally recalled how Johanna had never caused her any trouble ever since returning to the
country.
In fact, rather than bringing up the past, the young woman had continued to cling to her like a daughter who
genuinely loved her mother—even after the former had gotten married to Timothy.
She's right. Timothy's going to be the next head of the Jensen family. My life would've remained the same the
moment she married him. Why did I keep going after her, thinking that she was out to get me?
At that very moment, Vanessa felt regretful over everything she had done.

Jeremiah, who had remained silent all the while, placed a divorce agreement next to her. “Sign this and pack your
things. I'll get someone to send you abroad.”
Panic swirled within Vanessa as she turned to her daughter. “I'm sorry, Johanna. I'm a terrible mother...”
“You stopped being my mother the moment you tried to kill me while I was in a coma,” Johanna remarked frigidly,
lowering her head.
“Sign the papers,” Jeremiah repeated. “You'd at least still get something by doing so. You won't get a single cent
otherwise.”
Vanessa wanted to beg for mercy from the man to whom she had been married for the last decade or so, but
judging from the stern look on his face, she knew there was no room for negotiation. If she didn't sign the divorce
agreement, that man would most likely get Timothy to deal with her, and he was completely on Johanna's side...
Ultimately, Vanessa could only grab the pen and sign the document.
A housekeeper walked over and led her upstairs to pack a few important IDs. Then, in just a matter of ten minutes,
Vanessa was evicted from the Jensen residence.
