Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1495

Listening to her father's cruel words, Laney lifted her head and let out a cold, bitter laugh as tears swam in her eyes. "Right, of course you don't need to tell me. After all, I ceased being your daughter a long time ago, didn't I?"

"What kind of nonsense is that?!" Teresa scolded, turning sharply to glare at Andrew. "Even if you divorced her mother, she is still your daughter! And your daughter is now my daughter too! Don't you dare say such hurtful things to her ever again!"

Being reprimanded so fiercely by Teresa, Andrew's dark expression stiffened. He moved his lips, seemingly wanting to argue, but upon seeing Teresa's furious glare, he pressed his thin lips together and remained silent.

Laney took in the entire scene, a complicated mix of emotions rising within her. She had never imagined that her authoritative, cold, and aloof father could be scolded into silence so easily by Teresa. It immediately made her think of her own mother. Her mother had always been so submissive and desperate to please, yet all she ever received was the freezing view of his back. The contrast between who he loved and who he didn't was incredibly cruel.

Laney offered another bitter smile and lowered her eyes. But strangely, seeing Teresa defend her so fiercely, her intense resistance to their relationship began to slightly waver. She took a deep breath and roughly wiped the tear tracks from her face with the back of her hand. "Auntie, what did you... want to ask earlier?"

Relieved that Laney was finally cooperating, Teresa let out a massive sigh of relief. She quickly and thoroughly explained everything regarding the android. This time, Laney threw no tantrums. She recounted the exact process of how she obtained the android from her friend. Through Teresa's patient explanations, Laney finally grasped the severity of the situation. She realized this wasn't just corporate espionage, it was a massive criminal conspiracy that could trigger social unrest.

"I understand," Laney said, standing up. Her face was pale, but her eyes had regained their calm composure. "First thing tomorrow morning, I will take you to find my friend."
