Chapter 241 Lack of Conscience
When Jennifer uttered those words, Sarah’s teeth clenched in anger. “I knew that bitch wanted to kick me out!”
With a feigned look of innocence, Sarah pleaded, “Jennifer, I know you don’t like me, but I’m part of the Hargreaves family too. I stepped up to clean up your mess this time.”
She deliberately emphasized her contributions to the family, hoping to sway Asher.
Asher, after hearing her words, chimed in, “Jennifer, sure, Sarah lied, but look at the outcome. Her actions brought you and Timothy back together. In the grand scheme of things, she didn’t do anything wrong. Just give her a verbal smackdown and let it go!”
“No way. In this house, it’s either her or me.”
Jennifer’s stance was unwavering, leaving Asher feeling cornered.
“Jennifer, Sarah’s mother died trying to save you. How can you even suggest kicking her out?”
Here was that argument again.
Jennifer shot back, her tone icy. “But I don’t even remember being kidnapped. For all I know, it wasn’t her mother who saved

me.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Asher slapped her across the face.
“Jennifer, do you have any idea what you’re saying? After your kidnapping, it was Sarah’s mother who risked her life to send out the message. She died at the amusement park, likely because the kidnappers silenced her for passing information!”
Jennifer retorted, “But there’s no evidence to back any of that up, is there?”
“What kind of evidence do you need? Mom and Dad went off to o you need? Mom and Dad went off to rescue you and were brutally murdered by the kidnappers. They must have worked with the nanny to hide you away, ensuring you survived.”
Jennifer couldn’t recall the events of that day at all.
It was her birthday, and with her parents‘ busy schedules, she longed for them to take her to the amusement park just once.
They finished their work late but still managed to squeeze in some time for her..
By the time they arrived, the park was nearly closing, and there were hardly any visitors left. That was when Jennifer was abducted, and her parents were held for ransom.
Instead of contacting the police, they brought the ransom money directly to the kidnappers, and in the end, they and the nanny

all met a tragic fate.
But Jennifer forgot what really happened that day.

Though the police eventually caught the criminals, they were all dead. The authorities concluded it was a case of infighting among the criminals.
What really happened that day? No one truly knew.
The police deduced that there had been some conflict between her parents and the kidnappers, with the nanny responsible for getting Jennifer to safety. Tragically, only Jennifer survived; her parents and the nanny were all killed.
At one point, Jennifer had believed that Sarah’s mother, the nanny, sacrificed herself to save her. That was why, when they took Sarah back into the Hargreaves family, Jennifer treated her like a sister.
But later, she realized Sarah wanted to take her place.
Now, Sarah spoke up, her voice trembling, “Jennifer, my mother was a good person. You can hate me, you can insult
but you can’t insult my mother.”
me,
Asher quickly added, “That’s right. Sarah’s mother died trying to save you. And our parents? You’re the reason they’re gone. If you hadn’t insisted on going to the amusement park, none of this would have happened.”
Those words struck Jennifer like a dagger, pain radiating
Chapter 241 Lack of Conscience through her body.
Asher had always known exactly what to say to hurt her.
For years, she had been haunted by guilt over her parents‘ deaths.

Sarah spoke up, her voice dripping with false accusation, “Come on, Asher, don’t blame Jennifer. She was just a kid back then. Wanting to go to the amusement park was perfectly normal. She never imagined it would lead to her parents‘ deaths.”
If Jennifer hadn’t insisted on that trip, Sarah thought bitterly, her own mother might still be alive.
Since joining the Hargreaves family, Sarah had made it her mission to take everything from Jennifer; it was the only way to compensate for the loss of her own family.
Asher said, “I think they spoiled Jennifer too much from the start. That’s why she’s so reckless, which ultimately led to our parents‘ deaths and nearly bankrupted the Hargreaves family.”
Asher’s anger flared at the mention of this incident.
The fact that Jennifer still questioned the events of that day showed just how blind she was to her own mistakes.
He pointed an accusing finger at Jennifer. “You’re the one who caused our parents‘ deaths and put the Hargreaves family on the brink of bankruptcy! And now you want to break off your engagement with Timothy, risking the family’s financial stability

all over again? Do you even have a conscience?”
Jennifer thought, “How dare he accuse me of lacking. conscience?”

“My sense of right and wrong had been trampled underfoot long ago by you guys!”
