Lianne remained cold. He calmly picked up a small piece of food and placed it in his mouth. He said, âIâm just stating the facts. Why are you so agitated?â 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 mistressâs children, why didnât 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. âJust speak the truth? Just speak the truth? Ah, I shouldnât 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?â Jared roared at Lianne. âI donât know if others let you provide for me or not, but Julian and I didnât eat or drink anything.â Lianneâs voice remained cold. Coincidentally, her coldness angered Jared. He pointed at Lianne and was so angry that his face turned red. âYou unfilial daughter!â Lianneâs stepmother, Michelle, immediately patted Jaredâs chest. âAlright, 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?â Lianne was most disgusted by her stepmotherâs hypocritical appearance. She said coldly, âFirstly, I have 9% of the shares of the Blake Corporation. Even if Julian and I donât work, the Blake Corporationâs 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. Iâm self-sufficient. I donât eat anyoneâs food, and I donât need anyone to provide for me.â Michelle immediately blamed Lianne. âLianne, youâre being too distant. Why do we have to be so clear-cut as a family? Itâs really hard on your father. You have to be more understanding towards him.â âWhoever he works hard for will understand him!â Lianne said faintly. âUnfilial daughter, get out of here!â Jared was furious. He roared at Lianne like an enraged lion. Smack! Madam Blake also smashed her chopsticks.
on the table and said sternly, âIâm not dead yet.â 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 on anymore. Unexpectedly, after persevering in taking pills and traditional medicine for a period of time, her body was gradually recovering. âMom, look at Lianne. Is she serious?â Jared immediately looked at his mother. The old lady criticized sternly, âWhatâs wrong with what Lianne said? Sheâs also working hard every day. Who does she want to support her?â âGrandma, donât be angry. Dad has been working too hard, thatâs why heâs so impatient. Just now, Dad was also concerned about Julian. You really shouldnât blame Dad for accompanying Big Julian too little. Dad has to manage Blake Corporation! Itâs really the popular joke online. I canât accompany you when I carry a brick. If I accompany you, no one will support the family.â Mia immediately went to the old lady and skillfully massaged her shoulders.
Michelle chimed in, âThatâs right, Mom. Jaredâs life is really tough. Being a company is the same as studying. Itâs like sailing against the current. If you donât advance, youâll fall behind. Seeing that Jones familyâs Alan Jones, Uncle Kentâs Julian Parks, and the Green familyâs Jayden Green are starting to surpass their masters, Jared is also afraid of being surpassed by young people!â Michelle immediately winked at Jared. Jared sighed and said, âMom, 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. Itâs time to take over.â
Lianne frowned. Madam Blakeâs expression also sank slightly. She said, âIâm still healthy now. Thereâs 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.â âMom is right,â Jared said. Lianne put down her chopsticks and said politely to Grandma, âGrandma, Iâm done eating. Take your time.â 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. âSit-down!â Jared said sternly when he saw Lianne getting up. Lianne was not afraid of Jared at all. Her cold eyes looked at him. âIf Preston doesnât get better, donât let Annalise treat him anymore. Get another doctor,â Jared said. âDonât worry about Julian,â Lianne refused. Jared was angered again. âCanât I worry about this? Canât I control my own son? If I had a say, Annalise is not allowed to treat him again!â âSince we didnât care about it back then, why should we care about it now?â 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 Michelleâs 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. âMom, look at this temperâ¦â 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 Annaliseâs place for acupuncture, If she went earlier, he could let Annaliseâs disciple play with Julian. When Lianne went downstairs with his down jacket, Jared was still there. Lianne left without saying goodbye. Jared asked, âGoing to Prestonâs?â Lianne still did not speak. Jared said, âIâll go with you.â âNo need, just do what you need to do.â Lianne did not want him to go over. Jared had already stood up. âI happen to have time now. Iâll go and see him in case someone asks speak sarcastically to say that I didnât accompany him.â âNo need. He has company now,â Lianne said. Jaredâs anger rose again. âWhy? Canât I go and see my own son?â Lianne didnât 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.
âEina!â 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, âPreston, have you eaten? Weâll go to Annaliseâs place later.â
âAlright, Iâve eaten.â 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.
