Chapter 1695: Chapter 1987: Is It Wrong to Love Someone?

No matter if the rumors at school said that she was desperate, or shameless, she always let them enter one ear and out the other.

She thought to herself, these were unimportant people.

No matter what they said, why should she care?

But Rebecca Kelloway was her own sister.

The emotional assault from someone so close was too much. Even for someone as strong-willed as Regina Kelloway, this was the last straw.

With her lips tightly pressed together, her body was slightly shaking and her eyes were filled with unshed tears.

With reddened eyes, she looked at Rebecca and said, "I know Jeremy Lawrence doesn’t like me, but so what? Is it wrong to like someone? Joanna, you also loved Ashton for over twenty years, didn’t you?"

"Did Ashton ever respond to your feelings? Nope."

"And did you give up? No?"

This sudden change made Rebecca’s face drop, the expression on her face becoming gloomy.

That was her biggest heartache.

Regina mentioning it at this time was like tearing open a barely-healed wound.

Exposing her raw, bleeding wound for all to see.

Rebecca gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at Regina.

Regina, undaunted, met her gaze and continued, "Joanna, you’ve liked Ashton for so many years and never gave up, why should I easily give up on Jeremy Lawrence? Whether he likes me or not isn’t important. I only know that liking someone can also be a very happy thing."

"When I started to like Jeremy Lawrence, he was not yet a part of the Heath family. I’m very clear that he would never kick someone when they’re down. The downfall of the Kelloway family is mainly due to its own reasons. Whether the Heath family is willing to help is a favor, not an obligation. If they don’t help, it doesn’t mean the Heath family is unfeeling and ungrateful."

If the same situation happened, would the Kelloway family be willing to help the Heath family?"

Lady Patrice, who was about to say something, was stunned into silence after hearing these words from Regina.

She had felt that the Heath family was detestable. They could have easily helped the Kelloway family, but stood by as it crumbled instead.

But Regina’s words made her fall deep into thought.

If the Heath family were the ones facing bankruptcy, would the Kelloways step in to help?

"Heh, playing with words!" Rebecca sneered, her face turning pale with rage, "To the Heath family now, aiding the Kelloways is no difficult task. After decades of friendship between our two families, the Heath family’s indifference towards our plight is truly heartless."

"Just for Jeremy Lawrence, you would twist black into white, attempting to exonerate the Heath family. Regina Kelloway, how did the Kelloway family ever end up with such an ungrateful wretch like you."

"Yes, I am an ungrateful wretch. But what about you, Joanna? If you hadn’t offended Ms. Joanna so much, perhaps Ashton might have been willing to help the Kelloways. If we’re talking about who caused the downfall of our family, you certainly played a part too, didn’t you?"

"Alright, enough!" Lady Patrice stopped the two quarreling siblings, "You’re both getting too heated. Rebecca, can’t you see Regina is still lying in a hospital bed? She’s a patient and you’re her elder sister. Can’t you give her some consideration?"

"And Regina, why are you trying to upset your sister by mentioning things she doesn’t want to hear? Joanna was only looking out for this family. Some of what she said was not incorrect, lending a helping hand to the Kelloway family would not have been difficult for the Heath family."

"Indeed, the Heath family was heartless this time. We thought our families were close but clearly, we were mistaken. From now on, the Kelloway family and the Heath family will have nothing to do with each other."
