Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 210

"Jade, no need to worry, your company will be just fine. I trust your mom, plus, Mia isn't going to stand

by and let your mom's company fall apart." Leo said.

Jade couldn't fathom what the ever-confident Leo was thinking.

Meanwhile, Andre, unable to turn down Mia's insistent invitation, ended up playing hooky with her for a

coffee shop rendezvous with Coleen.

Early in the morning, the coffee shop was bustling with students and professionals alike.

The trio sat together.

Without a word, Coleen suddenly got up and knelt in front of Andre.

"Coleen! What are you doing?" Andre gasped.

Her sudden act drew attention from the surrounding patrons. Mia quickly helped her up.

Coleen sobbed, pleading to Andre, "Andre, please, don't take my daughter away."

Andre's face turned steely. Had it not been for the Byrne family's kindness to his sister, he would have

made them pay for their action.

"Coleen, you're the ones who took my sister away for fifteen years." Andre said.

Through her tears, Coleen offered, "Andre, I don't want Chade Inc. anymore, I can give it to you."

She pulled out a company transfer agreement from her bag, offering to give Chade Inc. to Cedillo Inc.

for nothing. "Andre, I'll give you my company. Just please don't take Jade away, she's my whole world. I

can't lose my daughter." She said.

Mia was moved by Coleen's tears, her own eyes welling up. Parental love was a powerful thing. Her

own parents would rather upset the Cedillo family than let her marry Andres, a man she'd never met.

That was love.

And now, Coleen was willing to hand over her life's work, Chade Inc., to Andre. That was her love for

Jade. She regarded her daughter as more important than her own life, willing to lose everything for her.

Mia handed Coleen a tissue, wiping away her tears, "Coleen, Jade is lucky to have you."

Coleen turned to Mia for help, "Mia, you know how much I love Jade, can you help me?"

"Mia, I'm sorry, I can't help you." Mia replied, "You only see your sacrifices and your happily ever after.

But you've robbed my husband of his. My husband spent fifteen years searching for his sister, from

thirteen to twenty-eight. His mother died of grief. Do you know what he's carrying? Self-blame, guilt and

regret.

“The Cedillo family could've had a happy family like yours, but they lost Molly, and his mother passed

away. The Cedillo family was shattered. My husband lost his family, his mother, his sister when he was

thirteen. Finding Molly has been his only lifeline. You can't be selfish and expect him to give up his

lifeline for your happiness. That's not going to happen."

Mia wiped her tears and put the contract back into Coleen's bag, "You value Molly more than your life,

so does my husband. Every member of the Cedillo family is waiting for her. Have you ever thought

about their feelings? Try to see it from their perspective, Coleen. My husband gave you a month,

worrying you couldn't handle it. He's not a saint, and he has no obligation to always consider your

feelings. Please don't pressure him anymore, we, the Cedillo family, won't give up." Her emphasis on

"we, the Cedillo family," clearly stated her stance.

Coleen covered her face and sobbed, the once elegant CEO now just a helpless woman.

Andre, watching Mia stand alongside him, felt warmth in his heart. He couldn't say some things out

loud, yet Mia, who understood him, spoke for him. In that moment, Andre felt at home.

Mia continued, "Coleen, I'm Jade's friend. I've been worried just like you, afraid that Jade's identity

would rob her of a happy family. I even fought with my husband, had disagreements and unpleasant

moments. But I never considered it from my husband's and the Cedillo family's perspective. Your

happiness is built on the Cedillo's family's pain. And the Cedillo family has no reason to suffer for your

happiness. Jade is an adult, she has the right to know everything, and the choice is hers. If we truly

love her, we should respect her decision."

Mia had been told by her husband to not reveal the truth to Jade for a month, giving the Byrne family

some buffer time. Thus, Mia had been keeping the secret, not even telling Leo.

The biggest fear for the Byrne family was that Coleen wouldn't be able to handle the truth. Now that

she knew, there was no need to hide anymore.

Later on, Chad showed up, because Andre had informed him. When he arrived, he intended to take his

mother away.

Knowing the Cedillo family's decision, Coleen realized her efforts were in vain.

She understood Mia's words, but people were inherently selfish. Nobody dared to say they were

selfless.

Coleen was led away by her son, and the cafe was left with only Mia and Andre.

Mia picked up her water glass and took a big gulp, "Honey, do you think Jade will hate me?" It was her

who had exposed Jade’s own identity. If she hadn't done the DNA test, she might have always been a

member of the Byrne family.

"Do you regret it?" Andre asked Mia.

Mia shook her head, took out a tissue, wiped away her tears, and blew her nose. Even with her eyes

red from crying, she was still the cutest thing in her husband's eyes.

"I think Jade may not be able to handle it. But if I had never found out, I would have regretted it." Mia

said.

After paying the bill, Andre left with his teary-eyed wife.

Havenbrook University classroom.

Jade wasn’t in the mood for class. She asked Leo, "Leo, can I come over to your house today?"

Leo was taken aback. "Aren't you afraid my parents will mistake you for my girlfriend?"

Jade looked at the not-so-bright Leo. He was always focused when it came to important matters, but

seemed a bit goofy otherwise.

"Could I say I'm Mia's friend?" Jade asked. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing Jade's impatience, Leo agreed. "Sure, I'll take you home with me today."

Mia didn't go to school that day. Her husband took her to his company. In the evening, when she and

Andre came home, they found an unexpected visitor.

"Jade, what brings you here?" Mia asked.

Jade stood up, "I just got here. You weren’t at school today."

Mia quickly interrupted Jade, afraid her skipping classes would be chastised by her family.

Hansen looked at the girl in front of him with a warm smile, "Jade, Mia often mentions you, saying

you're her best friend."

Jade looked at the man in front of her, a figure from her vague memory becoming clearer. Her eyes

reddened, filled with tears.

In her memory, he wasn't this old. He used to had hair, and he would always pick up a little girl in a

white princess dress after work, kissing her cheek, "Molly, did you miss me today?"

"Yes.” Molly said.

“Give me a kiss.” Hansen was all over the place.

The girl kissed him, then went to play with her toys.

"What's wrong, dear?" Naomi quickly handed Jade a tissue to wipe her eyes.
