"Tong Jiayin, you've disappointed me."
Tong Rao placed a bottle of perfume in front of her.
When Tong Jiayin heard her full name spoken with such coldness and saw the familiar perfume, she felt a rush of dizziness. Her worst fears had come to pass.
The psychological pressure she'd been under was immense, and now that the matter was exposed, she was overwhelmed with fear and tears. "Mom, I'm sorry. I really didn't want to harm you."
"It was Older Brother. He insisted that I give you the perfume."
Tong Sinian was involved in this!
Tong Rao felt a sharp pang in her heart, as though she had been stabbed. The realization that her own children might want her to lose her sanity was deeply painful.
