Lianne remained cold. He calmly picked up a small piece of food and placed it in his mouth. He said, “I’m just stating the facts. Why are you so agitated?” She was already used to such a scene. But she had to say it! They were both children. If he had time to accompany his mistress’s children, why didn’t he have time to accompany his legitimate son? Yes, the mistress had been promoted and had a status. She was living under the sun with the halo of Mrs. Blake outside. But in her heart, as long as she was a mistress, she would always be a mistress. “Just speak the truth? Just speak the truth? Ah, I shouldn’t be excited, right? Not only do I want to earn money to support my entire family and provide you with good food and drinks, but I also want to be criticized by you, right?” Jared roared at Lianne. “I don’t know if others let you provide for me or not, but Julian and I didn’t eat or drink anything.” Lianne’s voice remained cold. Coincidentally, her coldness angered Jared. He pointed at Lianne and was so angry that his face turned red. “You unfilial daughter!” Lianne’s stepmother, Michelle, immediately patted Jared’s chest. “Alright, alright. Peace in the family is everything. The child is insensible. Why are you fussing over it? If you get angry and hurt your health, who can bear it for you?” Lianne was most disgusted by her stepmother’s hypocritical appearance. She said coldly, “Firstly, I have 9% of the shares of the Blake Corporation. Even if Julian and I don’t work, the Blake Corporation’s annual dividend is enough for us to live well. Secondly, I work in Blake Corporation. Every year, not to mention other clients, just my cooperation with Parks Group will earn me at least 30 million dollars a year. I’m self-sufficient. I don’t eat anyone’s food, and I don’t need anyone to provide for me.” Michelle immediately blamed Lianne. “Lianne, you’re being too distant. Why do we have to be so clear-cut as a family? It’s really hard on your father. You have to be more understanding towards him.” “Whoever he works hard for will understand him!” Lianne said faintly. “Unfilial daughter, get out of here!” Jared was furious. He roared at Lianne like an enraged lion. Smack! Madam Blake also smashed her chopsticks. on the table and said sternly, “I’m not dead yet.” Two months ago, Jonathan personally operated on her. After that, she endured chemotherapy for a period of time and was discharged from the hospital to recuperate. When she was first discharged from the hospital, she was not in a good state. She was so thin that she was skin and bones, and her appetite was very poor. She felt that she could not hold onExclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
anymore. Unexpectedly, after persevering in taking pills and traditional medicine for a period of time, her body was gradually recovering. “Mom, look at Lianne. Is she serious?” Jared immediately looked at his mother. The old lady criticized sternly, “What’s wrong with what Lianne said? She’s also working hard every day. Who does she want to support her?” “Grandma, don’t be angry. Dad has been working too hard, that’s why he’s so impatient. Just now, Dad was also concerned about Julian. You really shouldn’t blame Dad for accompanying Big Julian too little. Dad has to manage Blake Corporation! It’s really the popular joke online. I can’t accompany you when I carry a brick. If I accompany you, no one will support the family.” Mia immediately went to the old lady and skillfully massaged her shoulders. Michelle chimed in, “That’s right, Mom. Jared’s life is really tough. Being a company is the same as studying. It’s like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you’ll fall behind. Seeing that Jones family’s Alan Jones, Uncle Kent’s Julian Parks, and the Green family’s Jayden Green are starting to surpass their masters, Jared is also afraid of being surpassed by young people!” Michelle immediately winked at Jared. Jared sighed and said, “Mom, I told you last time that our the Blake family should also have an heir. Have you considered it? Adam is already 27 years old this year. It’s time to take over.” Lianne frowned. Madam Blake’s expression also sank slightly. She said, “I’m still healthy now. There’s no hurry about this. You can take care of me for a few more years. Also, the ancestor said to start a family and a career. Boys have to start a family to be steady.” “Mom is right,” Jared said. Lianne put down her chopsticks and said politely to Grandma, “Grandma, I’m done eating. Take your time.” In this family, she had always been polite to her grandmother. She was used to ignoring others. It was also because of this that Jared became more and more dissatisfied with her. “Sit-down!” Jared said sternly when he saw Lianne getting up. Lianne was not afraid of Jared at all. Her cold eyes looked at him. “If Preston doesn’t get better, don’t let Annalise treat him anymore. Get another doctor,” Jared said. “Don’t worry about Julian,” Lianne refused. Jared was angered again. “Can’t I worry about this? Can’t I control my own son? If I had a say, Annalise is not allowed to treat him again!” “Since we didn’t care about it back then, why should we care about it now?” Lianne retorted and stood up decisively to leave the table. She would never listen to Jared on the matters about Julian. He was indeed their biological father. However, he only had Michelle’s children in his heart. Hahal True love? Was he worthy? If he
really loved her, why did he marry mother in the first place? He chose between love and benefits. In the end, he got benefits and kicked his mother away. Then, he turned around and flaunted his love. It was simply ridiculous. “Mom, look at this temper…” Jared was still scolding Lianne behind her back. Lianne ignored him. She went upstairs to get her down jacket. She was going to take Julian to Annalise’s place for acupuncture, If she went earlier, he could let Annalise’s disciple play with Julian. When Lianne went downstairs with his down jacket, Jared was still there. Lianne left without saying goodbye. Jared asked, “Going to Preston’s?” Lianne still did not speak. Jared said, “I’ll go with you.” “No need, just do what you need to do.” Lianne did not want him to go over. Jared had already stood up. “I happen to have time now. I’ll go and see him in case someone asks speak sarcastically to say that I didn’t accompany him.” “No need. He has company now,” Lianne said. Jared’s anger rose again. “Why? Can’t I go and see my own son?” Lianne didn’t say anything else and walked straight out. Whether he looked at his son or not was her business. His feet were on him. Could she stop him? Lianne drove away. Jared was filled with anger and asked the driver to drive behind Lianne. Preston recuperated and lived in a villa in the suburbs. When Lianne arrived at the villa, Preston was sitting quietly on the sofa watching television. He was watching Power Rangers. Upon seeing Lianne enter, Preston was filled with joy. “Eina!” Lianne smiled. Seeing her brother, she threw all the anger she had suffered by Jared to the back of her mind. She smiled and said, “Preston, have you eaten? We’ll go to Annalise’s place later.” “Alright, I’ve eaten.” Preston was very happy. In the past, he was scared to death of acupuncture. Now, he liked to go to acupuncture. Jared walked in. Preston trembled when he saw Jared.
