Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1830

Jodie reminisced about the two decades she had spent living. Each step felt like a precarious tightrope walk, where any misstep could plunge her into a bottomless abyss. Cindy had informed her that her biological father served as the driver for the Ropers.

Back then.

Delilah caused a fatal car accident, resulting in Anya's death. Surprisingly, Jodie's biological father took the blame for Delilah.

During that time, Jodie was just a baby.

Cindy, fueled by a quest for justice, confronted Delilah, who callously remarked, "I've already transferred money to your husband's account. Don't be too greedy!"

However, Cindy wasn't easily deceived. She possessed evidence, a recorded conversation with her husband, showcasing Delilah's manipulation and his complicity in covering for her.

To pacify Cindy, Delilah suggested adopting Jodie, yet as a sinister act of revenge against Wilfred and Anya, she covertly swapped two children...

"This is that woman's daughter!" Delilah handed a girl roughly the same age as Jodie to Cindy. "Just don't let her suffer. You can scold or hit her. Up to you!"

Jodie inhaled deeply, sensing an unsettling chill creeping up her spine.

The wealthy life of over 20 years and the unconditional love from Wilfred-all belonged to Maisie. The hatred in her heart, ignited by this realization, coursed through her veins like a poisonous needle, causing a pervasive ache.

"Jojo? Jojo!"

"Huh?"

"What's bothering you?"

Jodie snapped back, meeting Cindy's concerned gaze.

Jodie forced herself to relax as she observed her trembling hands gripping the utensils.

"When you invited me for a meal, I sensed something amiss in your voice." Cindy placed sliced beef onto Jodie's plate. "Is it because of that woman again?"

"I..." Jodie felt aggrieved but struggled to express her feelings, remaining silent.

"Jojo, sometimes we have to swallow our pride." Cindy sighed. "Just endure it..."

"Endure it? How much more must I endure?" Jodie threw her utensils on the table, creating a sharp noise. "Don't you have the recording of dad taking the blame for her? Why not use it to protect me?" "Shh!" Cindy hushed her, glancing around in panic before lowering her voice. "Let me tell you the truth... Um, that recording isn't really your dad's..."

"What did you say?"

"Back then, I had no choice. I wanted to extort more money from her... So, I got someone with a voice similar to your dad's to make the recording. Maybe Delilah was panicking and didn't recognize it... But with today's technology, if I produce that recording again, Delilah might have it tested for authenticity! Then, everything we want to keep will be exposed!"

Jodie was taken aback. A deafening buzz echoed in her head.

"Jojo, I can't produce that recording again." Cindy looked troubled. "I used it to secure your future and keep you in the Newhouses. Look, you've surpassed your siblings now!

"You must stay in the Newhouses!" Cindy held Jodie's hand tightly. "No matter the obstacles, I'll clear them for you!"

"Really?" Jodie forced a smile. "And you can... eliminate Maisie too?"
