Chapter 454: Mother and daughter 2 Chapter 454: Mother and daughter 2 As a mother, Clara Brown, of course, wanted to help her daughter, but now, it was beyond something she could handle herself. Ethan Lee had clearly stated that he wanted Mia Garcia. Without Mia, Ethan probably wouldn’t even bother looking for her again, let alone providing what they needed for their current life.

Under the pressure of survival, some things naturally change their meaning.

“Mia, I’m trying to help you now, doing everything in my power to help you. You said you didn’t want to be with Uncle Lee, so I offered myself instead. You asked me to persuade Ethan Lee to help you return to the Entertainment Circle, and I talked to him about it. I wanted it to be through my power to help you, but in fact, I can’t guarantee if he thinks the same.” Clara’s words were half-true and half-false.

What was false, she knew clearly, was what Ethan Lee had in mind for Mia. Clara hadn’t fully explained it to Mia.

She only said it might be a trap, and in fact, it was a trap, one that she, her mother, was part of.

“If this really is a trap set by Ethan Lee, how can I get out of it?” Mia Garcia looked at Clara Brown and asked, “Mom, will you help me get out of this?”

Until this moment, Mia’s heart was still set on taking a shortcut through her mother’s body, rather than her own or through hard work to achieve her goals.

“I don’t know how to answer that question,” Clara pretended to be agonized. “If I try to help you escape but fail, and we both get stuck, will you hate me? If so, then I’d advise you to simply give up this opportunity.”

Clara was using the tactic Ethan Lee taught her.

What Mia wanted was right in front of her, with no guarantees of risk. It was up to her to decide whether or not to go. Although she would hesitate, Ethan Lee dared to guarantee that Mia would definitely not give up.

“Mom, why did you change, before, you would always say, I will handle everything for you, but now, you let me make all the decisions, even if it’s risky,” Mia Garcia said with a broken heart.

Clara Brown loved her daughter, but love is one thing and reality is another. To get back on top, they had to make sacrifices.

“Mia, I used to be the President’s Wife of the Group, with your grandparents covering us. Whatever you wanted, I could get it done with money. But what am I now? A Distressed Middle-aged Woman who’s been betrayed by her husband, relying on the little beauty I have left to secure our living expenses. What can I use to pave your way?” Clara was on the verge of crying.

“If possible, I would, of course, want you to have everything you desire without worry—a bright future, a handsome and wealthy husband who loves you, and lovely, intelligent children. But what’s the reality now? Can’t you see it?” Clara couldn’t help but ask again.

Mia knew, of course, but deep down, she still held onto a little hope that her mother could help her achieve her goals by herself alone.

“Mom, I know, it’s just that I’m thinking, as long as things aren’t at their worst, we shouldn’t be in such a hurry to take that step,” Mia Garcia explained.
