Chapter 1860 Tell The Truth

• “Philippa, calm down,” Leopold hastily soothed, “Philippa, all of that is just your imagination. When I was young and naive, I indeed had feelings for Janine's mother. However, after getting to know you, my affection for her faded. Janine's mother was just a modest woman of humble origins, while you were a lady born of high society. How could she ever compare to you?”
• “Leopold, how could you even utter such words? You truly disgust me!” Philippa sneered, “There are so many orphans in this world. Why didn't you adopt any of them? Why are you so fixated on adopting Janine? Back then, you claimed to be good friends with Janine's father, and that you were indebted to him. I believed you. However, that was a lie! I've done my research thoroughly. You and Janine's father were merely classmates. There was essentially no interaction between the two of you. You never owed him any favors. The reason you adopted Janine was because you once had feelings for her mother!”
• Philippa trembled with rage, “Leopold, how could you be so repulsive? How could you treat people this way? How would you feel if I were to adopt the child of a man I once had feelings for? Do you know how sickening it is for me now, to think back on all these years I've treated Janine as my own?”
