Jue Chen turned the prayer beads around in her hand and lowered her eyes, her expression calm. "Xiao Xi and I were good friends since childhood and knew each other well. After I was adopted and brought to S Country, I kept in touch with her all the time.
"She knew all about me and I knew all about her. She had long liked Mr Xiao, but Mr Xiao only had Miss Xia in his eyes. She had told me before that she wanted to destroy your relationship, but I stopped her.
"But later, she still did something wrong and Mr Xiao severed their relationship as adoptive father and daughter, asking her to leave Hong Kong. After she left Hong Kong, I took her in.
"I taught her many things, including hypnosis. I don't think she's bad in nature and if I continued to reform her, she would be a good girl. But then, my beloved man died and I was in so much pain.
