Chapter 207
Lydia watched as Phoebe chatted with her companions, a bright and genuine smile on her face.
She suddenly realized that ever since Phoebe had returned home more than a year ago, she had never smiled so freely.
It made her wonder–bad Phoebe ever truly been happy at home!
This was her biological daughter, her own flesh and blood. Of course, she had wanted to love and cherish her.
But in the past, she had been influenced by Sienna’s manipulations, believing that Phoebe was wild and unruly,
That was why she had tried to discipline her, to teach her a lesson, hoping she would learn from her mistakes.

But now, she wasn’t so sure anymore………
returning. Not only that, she had deliberately distanced herself from her brothers..
Since leaving, Phoebe hadn’t shown the slightest intention of re making their relationship more and more strained.
he had watched quite a bit of this live broadcast.
She realized that, despite growing up outside the family. Phoebe wasn’t wild or ill–mannered. On the contrary, she was incredibly capable.
Not only was she skilled in horoscope and metaphysics, but she also had many other talents, including fluent foreign languages.
She was, in every way, more accomplished than Sienna, the adopted daughter the Jenkins family had painstakingly raised.
This realization filled her with both pride and discomfort, especially after discovering that Sienna had colluded with others to harm Phoebe and had even personally cursed her, Lydia feli even more unsettled.
She wanted to see Phoebe–to offer her some comfort.
Now that she was in Darmechia, this was a rare opportunity.
When Phoebe saw Lydia approaching, she was genuinely surprised.
So Lydia had actually traveled all the way to Darmechia for Sienna! What a devoted mother.
Now that she was heading this way, it was obvious she had come to see her.
*But what was her purpose? Was she, like Cain, here to question and reprimand me? Phoebe thought.
Since they had checked into the hotel for the night, the live broadcast had been turned off.
This allowed the guests to helax, and the audience to take a break as well.
Because of this, the camera crew was not following them.
Lydia stopped in front of Phoebe, her gaze softer than before. “Phoebe, I’d like to talk to you”

Chapter 207
When Phoebe went missing they had searched desperately, but to no avail.
They allopted Sienna initially because a horoscope master had said she could help them find their real daughter.
But after years of fruitless searching. Lydia had transferred all her maternal affection to Sienna instead.
She had raised her for more than a decade, and Sienna had always been obedient, understanding, and dependent on them
When Phoebe came back, Sienna felt insecure and subtly hinted that she was being bullied.
That was why they had favored Sienna even more.
Lydia still loved Sienna, but she also cared about Phoebe.
Phoebe scoffed. “Sure, you were good to me. But didn’t I already repay that? Didn’t I give back even more?”
She sneered. “What, you thought you could throw a few crumbs my way and expect me to owe you for life?”
Then, she looked Lydia up and down and said bluntly, “Wow, you’re really shameless.”
She hadn’t been back with the Jenkins family for long when she came down with a fever.
After being sent to the hospital, Lydia stayed by her side the entire night, showing care and concem, fussing over her well–being.
At the time, she had been genuinely moved. That was why she had gradually warmed up to Lydia–making medicinal meals for her, giving her massages, reminding her to take her medication every day.
But who would have thought that all that affection was nothing more than a fleeting illusion?
Compared to Sienna, her so–called importance crumbled in an instant.
