The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2916

“Madeline's grades last semester were decent but nothing to write home about, so I didn't bother mentioning it to your dad. But her performance is not something we need to lose sleep over. After all, isn't that what moms are for? Worrying about every little thing regarding their daughters is practically in our job description, especially when it comes to academics."

Imogen couldn't help but bring up the topic of motherhood, eager to see Regina's dimmed expression.

Regardless, Magina was gone, and now, it was her, Imogen, who was alive and kicking.

How could a woman without a mother dare to compete with Madeline?

"Look, since Imogen can handle herself, you don’t need to fret. Aren't you swamped with work at the newspaper? You hardly have the time to worry about Madeline’s grades. Fate plays its hand differently for everyone. If she doesn’t focus on her studies, not even hiring a Harvard genius would help. Let it be."

Francis’ words were harsh, and as Imogen was about to retort in Madeline’s defense, Regina quickly took over.

"Exactly, the newspaper has been all hands on deck with that case recently. And Domingo, what a piece of work, turning from a street thug into a mafia boss in just a few years! I wonder how he did it. He might even have blood on his hands. People like him deserve the worst. The scary part is not just him going astray but also leading his kids down the same path. Dad, do you think such a person even knows what family means?"

Regina blinked her innocent eyes, looking expectantly at Imogen sitting across from her.
