Chapter 104: Chapter 106

Breanna’s face darkened. “Brother, you haven’t come back for a few days. I miss you so much. She asked the kitchen to cook your favorite dishes...”

“I know. I’ll visit her tomorrow.” Pierce answered and hung up the phone.

“Grandma, this Amber is too detestable!” Breanna hated Amber in an indescribable way. “She used her son to keep her brother hanging, but she had an affair with Elliot. It is said that she has an affair with her ex-husband. What does she want to do?”

Madam Hammond felt very uncomfortable. The matter between Amber and her grandson had always been a knot in her heart.

When she saw Amber being born with the cold, she naturally objected to her dating with her grandson. However, she never thought that Amber was Channing’s daughter. If Amber had been willing to reveal his identity at that time, she would not have stopped her from being with Pierce.

However, Amber would rather break up with Pierce than talk about his own family background. He knew very well that he was heartless to his grandson, but Pierce loved Amber very much. He had been single for so many years.

“Grandma, this Amber is a disaster. With her around, Big Brother will not be in the mood to start a relationship again. You should make it clear to Amber, make her disappear, and never appear again.”

Breanna’s words made sense. Since Amber was ruthless to Pierce, he should stay away from Pierce. In this way, meeting him from time to time would definitely give his grandson hope. The old lady sighed slightly and said, “Let me think about it first!”

Elliot did not believe that Amber would be the daughter of a woman that his father liked. Not long after Amber left the hospital, he pulled off the needle on his arm and went out of the hospital to look for Reece.

Elliot was surprised to see his son coming to him. He said with a cold face, “I have something to ask you when you get in the car.”

Reece opened the door and got in the car. Elliot said bluntly, “Is the woman you like named Ashley?”

“Who told you that?” Reece asked.

“You only told me if it was Ashley or not?” Elliot was fierce. Reece was silent for a while and nodded.

“Bastard! You are a bastard!” Elliot shouted at Reece. “You are a coward. You are not a man. Since you love Ashley, why do you want to marry another woman? Why do you want to be with Itzel? Don’t you think you are dirty?”

Reece was silent. Seeing that he did not speak, Elliot became angrier and angrier. He shouted at him in a low voice, “Why did you marry Lannie if you don’t love her? Why did you give birth to me? How could I have a father like you? Why don’t you die?”

“Elliot, I’m sorry!” Looking at his furious son, Reece apologized guiltily.

“What can an apology change? Can an apology make up for the bitterness that my mother has lived for more than 20 years?

Can an apology make up for the fatherly love that I have lost for so many years?”

Elliot growled, “Reece, why don’t you respect the living when you feel guilty for the dead? Do you know what kind of life Lannie has been living these years? She is a rich young lady. You are a bastard. How can you bear it?”

“Compared to the dead, she is already better off alive!” Reece revealed a bitter smile.

“What did you say? How could you be so cold-blooded? What did Lannie do wrong to make you treat her like this?”

Elliot never dreamed that Reece would say something like that. He grabbed Reece’s collar and said, “Reece, you are the root of my pain, the root of my mother’s pain. Why don’t I end this pain today? Let’s die together!”

“Elliot! You’re crazy!” A painful look flashed across Reece’s face. “How much do you know about her back then? I’m telling you, Lannie brought this upon herself!”

“You!” Elliot raised his fist to Reece. Facing his son’s fist, Reece was not afraid at all.

“Elliot, who told you that it was Ashley who took your father’s love? Who told you that Lannie was wronged? Let me tell you, the real truth is not like this! If it weren’t for Lannie’s scheming against me, I wouldn’t have broken up with Ashley. Ashley wouldn’t have gotten married, and she wouldn’t have died at such a young age!”

Reece pushed his hand away and sealed his collar. “Just like how you don’t like Breanna, I never intended to marry Lannie. I told Lannie very clearly from the beginning that I wouldn’t marry her. I love Ashley, but how did Lannie treat me? On the surface, she promised not to pester me, but she schemed against me behind my back. Ashley saw me sleep with her and broke up with me because of this. Your mother has never been innocent! I became like this because of her! Do you understand?”

“Nonsense!” Elliot did not believe that Wen Wan’s mother would plot against someone.

“Whether I’m talking nonsense or not, you can ask Lannie. After that night, she was pregnant with you. Mother was forced to get married by her son. I was in so much pain that I lost my virginity. So I lost my life and became a perfect couple with her.”

Reece showed a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth. “We could have lived a peaceful life like this, but she shouldn’t have hurt Ashley because of resentment. Do you know how Ashley died? She was asked out by your mother to have a car accident and died! The perpetrator escaped, and the fool also knew that the car accident was too coincidental? I’m telling you that Lannie’s ancient Buddha companion was just for remorse!”

“It can’t be like this. It can’t be like this!”

“These are all facts. I’ve never thought of pestering her. Over the years, I’ve given her countless chances to divorce, but she resolutely refused to divorce! Let me tell you, the only person I’m sorry for in my life is you and Ashley. Others, I have a clear conscience!” Reece said firmly.

Elliot sat in the car in a daze. If what Reece said was true, and if there was indeed something wrong with the car accident, then his hatred for Ashley was a joke. It was his mother who killed Ashley. It was his mother who caused Amber to lose his mother’s love at such a young age. He should feel guilty that he was not Amber.

In his memory, his mother was gentle and kind. She was no match for the sinister and vicious person in Reece’s words. On the contrary, Reece’s cold-blooded and heartless heart had taken root in his heart. All of this must be a lie made up by Reece. Elliot did not believe that he would ask his mother personally.

Elliot insisted on going home regardless of his poor health. Walter immediately booked a ticket and accompanied Elliot home.

After flying for more than ten hours, Elliot and Deon appeared in the Thomson family. He did not go to see the Old Master and went directly to Lannie’s yard for self-cultivation.

Lannie, dressed in plain clothes, was sitting in the yard reading Buddhist scriptures. When she heard the noise, she looked up and was shocked. “Why are you back?”

Elliot walked to Lannie’s side and stood still. He originally had so many questions to ask his mother, but when he saw Lannie, he couldn’t ask.

If everything was made up by Reece, would it be appropriate for him to question his mother like this?

The people in the yard who took care of Lannie immediately brought a stool for Elliot and poured tea for him. Lannie also put down the Buddhist scriptures in her hand. “Why do you look so pale? Are you sick?”

“No, I’ve had some diarrhea recently,” Elliot replied.

“If you don’t feel well, you should go to see a doctor. It’s not good for your health to hold on like this.” Lannie looked at her son with distress, and then ordered her aunt to take care of her. “Give the young master some carrot juice.”

The auntie agreed and went to prepare. Lannie asked Elliot about the situation in the country in a soft voice. Elliot gave a rough answer. The auntie brought Elliot some carrot juice. “Madam, Miss Breanna has come to see you again. Do you want to see her or not?”

Lannie looked at her son and saw that he was frowning, so she replied, “Tell her that I don’t have time today. Maybe another day.”

The auntie agreed and left. Breanna stood at the door and saw the auntie coming out to welcome her. The auntie came out and shook her head at her. “Madam is not free now. You’d better come another day.”

Breanna came here today because she heard that Elliot had come back and did not really want to see Lannie. Lannie refused to see her, but she was not angry and turned to leave.

Elliot drank the carrot juice and handed the cup to the auntie. Lannie asked, “Breanna left?”

The auntie nodded. “Let’s go.”

“This child comes to see me every few days. He is a thoughtful person.” Lannie praised him. Seeing that her son did not answer, she had to take the initiative to talk about Elliot and Breanna in advance.

“I’ve watched Breanna grow up. She’s gentle and kind and beautiful. I like her very much. Elliot, can you listen to me and marry Breanna?”

“Mom, I don’t like Breanna. Didn’t you make it very clear last time?” Elliot was impatient.

“You and Breanna have known each other since childhood. It’s better than those women outside.”

“That’s not for sure. Didn’t you say that you don’t know what’s good for you?” Elliot sneered. He was very clear about Breanna’s character. When he thought of how his mother praised Breanna for being gentle and kind, his heart skipped a beat. Wasn’t his mother such a kind and gentle person?

“This child, Breanna is not a bad person.” Lannie didn’t know what Elliot was thinking and still spoke up for Breanna.

Elliot frowned and interrupted her. “Mom, I saw Reece before I came back.”

“Is he... is he okay?” Lannie’s eyes lit up.

“He’s fine.” Elliot hesitated for a moment. “Mom, do you know Ashley?”

Lannie’s face suddenly changed. After a while, she said, “Yes!”

“How did she die?”

“What did Reece say to you?” Lannie asked.

“He said something between you two. He said... he said that Ashley was killed by you!”

“Did he say that?” Lannie’s face suddenly turned pale and her body trembled.

“Mom, is what Reece said true?” Elliot asked for an answer.

“Reece is right!” Lannie’s face was pale, and she felt extremely bitter in her heart.

Elliot didn’t expect that Lannie wouldn’t deny it. He couldn’t express his disappointment. He hoped that Lannie would deny it firmly. She said that all this was nonsense, but Lannie didn’t deny it.

Elliot couldn’t accept that his mother, who had always been gentle, kind, and tolerant, had suddenly changed her image. “So everything Reece said is true? You planned his marriage with you, didn’t you? Mom, why did you do this?”

Hearing this, Lannie’s face turned pale again, and she felt extremely humiliated. She was also a victim. Back then, she also had sex with Reece without any evidence, but no one sympathized with her.

Reece thought it was because of her scheme that he broke up with Ashley. No matter how she explained it, she would not believe it.

Because she was forced to marry him, Reece treated her coldly. Not only did he treat her coldly, but everyone in the Thomson family looked down on her and thought she was a scheming woman.

But she really didn’t know anything. Later, after the car accident, everyone thought that she was vicious and insidious, but God knew that it was just an accident. She had never thought that Ashley would have an accident.

Over the years, she had suffered a lot because of her son. But what was Reece going to do?
