Chapter 53

Lilian took Filip's arm and said cautiously. "Filip..."

Filip finally withdrew his eyes from Cynthia. He looked down atilian and said in a displeased voice, "When did you become friends with Shirley?"

Lilian knew Filip hated Cynthia, but he did not like Shirley even more.

She hurriedly explained, Filip, I actually caine today for something important."

After saying that, she looked at Shirley,

Shirley said. "That's right, Filip. Today is a big day. Lilian and I hit it off at first sight. So I plan to let my mother take her as a goddaughter."

In fact, Shirley had mentioned it to Selena last night. However, she only said that she had a poor friend and wanted Selenal to take her in as a goddaughter. She did not tell Selena that her friend was Lilian. After much pleading and persuasion, Selena finally agreed When Cynthia heard the news, her face darkened completely. Shirley was really capable of disgusting her,

However, both the Jones and Yates families were well aware of what Lilian had done back then.

Cynthia remembered how the Jones family despised Lilian's betrayal and her actions of kicking them while they were down.

Cynthia knew that Selena held a grudge against her, but it stemmed from past conflicts. She was not the kind of woman who could not distinguish right from wrong.

On the contrary, she had always doted on Cynthia since she was little, teaching her with care. In everyday matters, she was hands-on and never relied on the nanny.

Cynthia grew up very happily and had a deep love for Selena. That was why she could not accept the reality.

Selena was completely different from before. She was still tender, loving, and reasonable with others, but she was mean and very picky with Cynthia,

However, deep down, Cynthia still held onto a glimmer of hope, Selena, who had raised her for 20 years, was still her mother.

She believed that Selena's hatred and disgust stemmed from having given so much and loved so deeply. Deep down, she must still love her.

If Selena still had any feelings of kinship toward her, even a little, she would never take Lilian as her goddaughter.

Filip was also surprised. Because of Lilian's involvement, Henry, Pamela, and Matthew regarded Lilian as a vicious woman.

Even if Lilian was pregnant with the blood of the Yates family, they would rather abandon their descendants than acknowledge her.

The Jones family couldn't possibly take Lilian as their goddaughter.

After all, Cynthia was the daughter they had raised for 20 years. It was impossible to ignore her feelings at all. If so, it would be cruel to her.

Filip could not help but look at Cynthia. Suddenly, he realized that he was worried about her. He even felt sorry for her.

In fact, from Lilian's point of view, this was definitely a good thing.

Chapter 53

At this time, Shirley suddenly walked onto the stage of the banquet hall.

73%2

She took the microphone from the emcee and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. I'm Shirley Jones. Thank you for coming to my party today. While I have your attention, I have something very important to announce....."

The entire banquet hall, filled with hundreds of people, suddenly fell silent. Everyone began to move closer to the stage.

It was Shirley, the real daughter of the Jones family, who was speaking on the stage now,

Shirley suddenly pulled a girl in a long white dress to the center of the stage.

Then, she said. "This is my good friend, Lilian Sheppard. We have a special relationship. On this joyful day, the Jones family will take her as a goddaughter. From now on, she's the daughter of the Jones family. Please look after her in the future Everyone looked confused. Many people were whispering to each other.

"Which family does Ms. Sheppard belong to? She looks unfamiliar, one of the guests said.

"Why does the Jones family suddenly take in a goddaughter? Mrs. Jones is truly kind-hearted. She adopted the daughter of her enemy, and now, she has a goddaughter, another guest added.

"It's a good thing to have a goddaughter. But Mrs. and Mr. Jones look even more shocked than we do as if they didn't know it in advance," a guest said.

At this moment, Selena and Justin were standing on the stage.

Selena knew it. Last night, Shirley insisted on her adopting a goddaughter but refused to say who, only mentioning it was a friend. She never expected that this person would be Lilian. How could she not know Lilian? Three years ago, Cynthia cut her wrists because of her.

Cynthia and Filip grew up together. When they were in university, Lilian suddenly came out of nowhere.

Filip became obsessed with her and was fascinated by her. Even though he was forced to marry Cynthia later, he still eloped with her to another country.

In fact, Selena already knew. Filip and Cynthia never got a marriage certificate, so it was not a real marriage.

She did not like Lilian and looked down on her tactics.

Justin was furious and walked straight over to Shirley. He scolded, "Shirley, what are you doing?"

Shirley replied, "Dad, Mom has agreed."

She knew that this plan would not work with Justin, so she decided to act first and deal with the fallout later.

Fortunately, Selena would not blame her. Even if she was a little unhappy, Shirley knew that in the end, Selena would definitely agree with her because she felt guilty toward her.

On the surface, Justin was the head of the family. But in fact, he listened to Selena in everything

Shirley had already grabbed Selena's arm and pleaded in a low voice, "Mom, there are so many people watching. It's just a goddaughter in name; there's no loss in it. Mom, this is my birthday wish. As long as you fulfill my wish, I'll listen to you in everything from now on." Selena felt uneasy seeing Shirley's pleading look.

She was a smart woman. She could see that Shirley wanted them to adopt Lilian as a goddaughter just to hurt Cynthia,

Chapter 53

In the past three years, she had tried her best to make up for Shley. But Shirley still regarded Cynthia as the enemy who took everything away from her.

This was not the first time something like this had happened.

Back then, she was unable to attend Cynthia and Filip's wedding banquet because of Shirley's outburst.

In front of Shirley, she must treat Cynthia badly to make up for her grievances over the years.

In fact, she felt just as hurt about Cynthia. The daughter she had raised with such care for 20 years turned out to be a tool for Rachel's revenge against her.

She hated Rachel. She had even taken it out on Cynthia. But once she calmed down, she realized that Cynthia was the most innocent of all.

When Cynthia cut her wrists back then, Selena was heartbroken as a mother.
