CEO's Reborn Wife

Chapter 132: Chapter 140: Tearing off the Mask

Stripped of the title of Mrs. James Black, Julie Sampton awaited to see Jane Sampson ensnare herself due to offending the Black Family and either be kicked out of the Sampton Family by their father or, for the second time, be used as a tool in marriage to another man. As a divorcee, she would never find a family with as high a status as the Black Family. She might even end up married to an old man older than her father.

Father Sampton glanced at Julie Sampton, who was sitting there and did not seem upset in the least by James Black’s phone call.

To him, the fact that James Black still protected Jane Sampson was a good thing—it meant that Black would not divorce her because of this incident.

Moreover, James’s temperament was not something that others could manipulate; therefore, as long as he persisted, even if Old Master Black did not favor Jane, James Black would not divorce her.

For Father Sampton, merely maintaining the status of in-laws with the Black Family was sufficient.

It was a pity, though, that Jane Sampson would lose Old Master Black’s favor.

Father Sampton glanced at Julie Sulking on the sofa and suddenly spoke with a sigh, ”It’s a pity that it wasn’t Julie who married into the Black Family.”

Hearing her father mention her, Julie, who was still sulking, immediately turned back and looked at Father Sampton with a face full of guilt, ”I’m sorry, daddy, I’ve disappointed you. I couldn’t help you.”

Julie lowered her head and said, ”If it were me, knowing that dad still needs the relationship with the Black Family, I would never have been so willful to anger the Black Family. It’s a pity that I didn’t grow up by dad and mom’s side, and Elder Black looks down on me, the second Miss of the Sampton Family, who was picked up from the countryside.”

As she spoke, tears brimmed in Julie’s eyes, making her appear extremely pitiable.

Bright Sampton put her teacup heavily on the table with a clanging sound, ”Enough, can’t you stop the act? It’s disgusting to watch.”

Had it not been for Julie Sampton stepping on Jane’s toes at this time, Bright Sampton would have kept this to herself forever.

But Julie Sampton should never have taken advantage of the situation and still expected to play the innocent.

”Julie Sampton, if you truly think that way, why then, when you first knew that dad wanted to switch the marriage contract to you and have you marry Brother James Black, did you spend all day crying in front of mother, claiming you didn’t want to marry James, forcing mom to say that if she insisted on your marriage to James, you’d rather die to end it all? Weren’t those your words?”

Julie Sampton’s face turned deathly pale; she thought only she and her mother knew about this. Did Bright Sampton also know?

”Bright, stop talking!” Mother Sampton anxiously scrutinized her husband’s expression and hesitantly explained, ”I was also thinking that Julie is still young...”

”Mom, my sister and Julie Sampton were born on the same day at the same time, only the exact minutes and seconds are unknown. When Julie came back, you had a preference for her, wanting her to be the younger sister, making my sister the elder and indulging Julie, pampering Julie. Maybe Julie was even born a few minutes before my sister. So, this excuse of being too young, I can’t even bear to hear it.”

For the first time, Bright Sampton spoke to Mother Sampton in this tone, ”Anyway, in mom’s eyes, I’m not even sure if you still consider my sister your daughter. After more than a decade of affection, it seems mom can simply take away what you’ve given to my sister. Hasn’t it crossed your mind how much damage this does to her?”

And you, Julie Sampton,” Bright Sampton addressed the woman sitting across from her, using her full name. ”It was you who kicked up a fuss, refusing to marry Brother James Black, calling the Black Family a pit of fire and James an unsuitable lifelong partner. You didn’t want to be treated like merchandise to be pawned off by dad. So now, don’t pretend here, acting all pitiful—it makes me want to vomit, you know?”

Bright Sampton now found tearing off Julie Sampton’s mask in front of their parents to be quite amusing; she had had enough, and so had her sister.
