When she saw Nadine helping her grandmother, Victoria could no longer contain her anger and blurted out the fact that Jack was dead.
It all happened so suddenly that Nadine was completely caught off guard.
She stood frozen in place, her heart sinking like it had fallen into a frozen pit. Despite having mentally prepared herself countless times over the past six years, Nadine still couldn't accept that Jack had left her. Every tshe thought of him, her heart twisted in pain, like a thousand arrows piercing through her.
When Victoria revealed the truth, it felt as if someone had hit her with a heavy blow. Nadine stood rooted to the spot, unable to find her voice for what seemed like an eternity.
After hearing her granddaughter's voice, Sophie refused to believe it at first. "What on earth are you on about, Victoria? Your older brother is on a special mission and won't be back anytsoon. He's been in touch with Nad. How could you say such things about him? "What's gotten into you? You're becoming more unruly by the day! Take back what you just said. I won't allow you to speak about your older brother like that!" While berating Victoria, Sophie exclaimed, "Kids have no filter these days! God, this child doesn't know any better. Please just pretend you didn't hear that." Victoria glared at Nadine, who was standing there in shock, and reiterated, "Jack has been dead for six years! Nadine's been lying to you. She kept it from you! Look, this is the person you cherish! You raised her as your own, but she's been playing you for a fool all these years!" Victoria felt a sense of glee as she watched Nadine stand there like a puppet, her face as pale as a sheet. Then, she laid everything bare.

That man's family gave her six million dollars and even bought us a house in that small town. They were awfully generous! "But do you know how insignificant six million dollars was to that guy? It was just a drop in the bucket!" Victoria becincreasingly animated as she continued. She looked at Sophie's ghastly white face and glanced at Nadine who stood frozen in disbelief, reveling in the gratification of her revenge.
At that moment, Sophie still couldn't believe what she had just been told. Grasping Nadine's hand, she asked, "Nad, is what she said... true? Is Jack... You need to tell me! I need to know the truth!" Having single-handedly raised the three of them, she knew that Jack, as the older brother, was the most responsible and obedient. From the age of five, he had helped her with chores and taken care of his younger sister. Because he needed to support the family, he graduated high school and immediately enlisted in the military.
After joining the military, he never forgot to send money home, reminding Sophie to take good care of the two girls. Jack was the one who paid for Nadine's education.
"Nad, please tellthe truth!" Deep down, she already knew the truth Her grandsgn was so caring. How could he possibly go six years without contacting her? Nadine had always insisted that
Jack was on a secret mission, could claiming he could only contact her occasionally. But times had
changed; there were so many wa to stay in touch. How could it be m possible for him not to contact his family? How could she have fallen for such an obvious lie?
