Chapter 2916

"Madeline's grades last semester were decent but nothing to write home about, so I didn't bothermentioning it to your dad. But her performance is not something we need to lose sleep over. Afterall, isn't that what moms are for? Worrying about every little thing regarding their daughters ispractically in our job description, especially when it comes to academics.”

Imogen couldn't help but bring up the topic of motherhood, eager to see Regina's dimmedexpression.

Regardless, Magina was gone, and now, it was her, Imogen, who was alive and kicking.

How could a woman without a mother dare to compete with Madeline?

“Look, since Imogen can handle herself, you don't need to fret. Aren't you swamped with work atthe newspaper? You hardly have the time to worry about Madeline's grades. Fate plays its handdifferently for everyone. If she doesn't focus on her studies, not even hiring a Harvard genius wouldhelp. Let it be.”

Francis’ words were harsh, and as Imogen was about to retort in Madeline's defense, Regina quicklytook over.

“Exactly, the newspaper has been all hands on deck with that case recently. And Domingo, what apiece of work, turning from a street thug into a mafia boss in just a few years! I wonder how he didit. He might even have blood on his hands. People like him deserve the worst. The scary part is notjust him going astray but also leading his kids down same path. Dad, do you think such a personeven knows what family means?”

Regina blinked her innocent eyes, looking expectantly at Imogen sitting across from h

Francis said, "Heh, when he was out there stirring trouble, did he ever think of his kids? not, thenhe’s clearly heartless, not caring about accruing good karma for his family. Bringing kids into theworld only for them to turn out rotten.”

Regina nodded in agreement. “Yeah, his wicked ways must be because he lacks family consideration.If I had kids, I'd think twice before acting recklessly. What if karma actually exists? I'd rather bear theconsequences myself than let my children suffer!”

Francis nodded and said, “That's the sentiment of parents everywhere.”

“Imogen, what about you? Do you feel the same?”

Regina suddenly turned to Imogen, who was lost in thought. She was contemplating Francis’ earliercomments, wondering if Domingo ever thought of her and Madeline before his actions.

When he left, Madeline was just a child. Surely, he couldn't have forgotten he had a daughter afterall these years of being away.

Subconsciously, Imogen touched her stomach remembering the discomfort of carrying Madelineand the grueling labor.

Though Madeline wasn't a boy, back then, their bond was strong, and the arrival of a daughterseemed perfect.

However, as Domingo faced unemployment, he transformed into someone else, volatile and proneto fits of rage.
