Chapter 1003: From Now On, Add Another To The Score Between Cole And Her.

“He schemed against you and staged a kidnapping to trick you into coming to Sauder, all just to create an opportunity for you and him to cultivate some feelings for each other. If ‘scheming’ was so unforgivable, why did you accept Lea then?”

Gu Mengmeng was speechless. She could only stare at Chixuan in silence.

She didn’t know how to explain. She felt like her heart had been thrown inside a was.h.i.+ng machine and was churning madly.

It was an obvious pain, but she was unable to pinpoint where that pain originated from.

She could only stare at Chixuan in a daze. This was the son she was the most beholden to, and the one she wished to get back the most.

“Thereafter, you were lured to the Snake King valley and Ellie nearly killed you. You only knew that Elvis and Lea nearly died trying to break through the traps, so that Snake had the chance to become your hero after he finally arrived. But did you ever think that those ‘traps’ were there not to hinder their rescue but to lead the way?”

As she had inherited Snake’s memories, Gu Mengmeng knew that Elvis and Lea had fought desperately to break the traps set by Cole, while she was being beaten by Ellie. Those traps looked lethal, but only caused serious injuries to Elvis and Lea. Moreover, it was indeed thanks to those traps that Snake could locate her so quickly.

Pressing her lips into one straight line, Gu Mengmeng kept quiet as she continued to look at Chixuan.

Perhaps if she listened to his entire argument today, she might be able to know why Chixuan insisted on remaining by Cole’s side?

Wouldn’t that be seeking out a fourth option?

“Mother, did you ever consider that, with Cole’s powers and methods, if he wanted to retaliate, Elvis and Lea are no match for him? Do you still not understand his real reason for luring you to the Snake King valley?”

Gu Mengmeng was taken aback. She frowned deeply.

Chixuan knew he was becoming overly agitated, and so took two deep breaths before continuing. “In the end, you attained the Tear of the Beast Deity and became the most powerful being in the entire Beast World, right?”

Gu Mengmeng’s heart gave a jolt.

So Snake’s death was machinated by Cole?

The difficulty level and number of those traps were not created at random. They had been specifically designed and operated on the basis that Snake could not bear to see her suffer. On seeing her dying manner, he would definitely give the Tear of the Beast Deity to her, right?

Good, very good…

From now on, add another to the score between Cole and her.

“Mother, you say he is always scheming against you. But didn’t you realize that in every scheme of his, you always gain in the end. If you cannot accept him because of his cruel methods, how innocent do you think Elvis and Lea were in the past? Mother, I am not asking for you to treat him like how you treat Lea and Elvis. You just have to allow him to be by your side, like how it was in Sauder. He doesn’t care if he has no status or that you will treat him like he was invisible. Just give him a chance, alright?”

Gu Mengmeng lowered her head as if hesitating.

Chixuan’s eyes followed Gu Mengmeng closely, his entire focus on her. He anxiously awaited her answer.

After a long time, Gu Mengmeng finally raised her head.

She was smiling with a gentle warmth. Her lips curled lightly in an elegant curve, as she said, “I am indeed… a selfish mother.”
