On the other side.
The Blake family was gathering together and having dinner.
The atmosphere was not pleasant, but on the surface, it seemed very peaceful.
Madam Blake was sitting at the head of the table.
She had just been discharged today.
Under Jonathanâs treatment, she had almost recovered.
As long as she continued to take the pills specially refined by Annalise, there would be no problem.
Michelle had been imprisoned and was waiting for the verdict after the new year.
Jared brought Adam and Mia over to have dinner with Madam Blake.
In addition, Preston, Lianne, and Katherine also celebrated Christmas with them.
Jared said sarcastically, âKatherine, eat more.
Itâs been so many years, but you havenât come to see Lianne and the others.
I thought you didnât care about them.
Katherine had shown her devotion by abstaining from meat all these years.
She enjoyed doing good deeds and had long been at peace.
However, Jaredâs words easily provoked her anger, and she felt like her heart was burning.
Katherine was already 74 years old this year.
Having lived for so long, she had really seen everything, but she had never seen someone as shameless as Jared She raised her eyelids slightly and questioned calmly, âArenât you the one who doesnât care about them? As a father, you donât care about your children but do crazy things to break them down.
You even tried to kill your mother by poisoning her.
Is this something a human should do?â Jared was at a loss for words.
He really did not expect Katherine, this old woman, to be so eloquent.
He remembered that when Selena died back then, Katherine did not say much! Now was not the time to dwell on her personality.
Jared immediately said, âMom, I know you bear grudge against me because of Selena, but Selena died of illness back then! I had no way! âRegarding the matter of my mother being poisoned, I was indeed at fault.
It was I who didnât keep an eye on Michelle.
Alas, I promise you that this kind of thing will definitely not happen again.
Preston and Lianne are all grown-ups.
Selenaâs been dead for so many years.
I think you should let go of your prejudice against me.â âHehâ¦â Katherine sneered.
âLet go of your prejudice? Are you worthy? Jared, how did Selena die? How did her illness come about? Those who go against their conscience will suffer retribution one day.â Katherine didnât mean to make things so awkward between them in front of Madam Blake.
She wanted to enjoy the dinner, but this bastard Jared pissed her off.
Madam Blake ate indifferently.
In the past, Madam Blake had held onto hope for this son of hers.
She felt that no matter what, Jared would never want her to die.
At that time, before the surgery, Madam Blake was preparing to make a will.
It was Lianne who advised her not to make a will, saying that someone who made a will died on the operating table.
Madam Blake was still hoping that Jared would still care about her.
After all, she was her mother.
It was only when she was poisoned this time that she was totally disappointed in Jared.
Therefore, at that time, despite her condition, Madam Blake asked Julian to be the witness and handed over all the shares under her name to Preston.
For one thing, the Blake family owed Selena.
For another, she was really disappointed in Jared.
Having been scolded by his ex-mother-in-law, Jared had been waiting for his mother to help him out.
Unexpectedly, Madam Blake did not say anything.
He said to Katherine, âKatherine, itâs inevitable for people to fall sick.
I took Selena to the hospital when she was sick.
What could I do when I was told that she was incurable? Werenât you in the same situation when your husband and son were in a plane crash.
Iâm sure you were helpless back then, right?â Jared intended to rub salt into Katherineâs wound.
For him, it would be best if she died of a heart attack from anger.
Katherine was infuriated, her heart heaving violently.
Lianne couldnât take it anymore.
She threw the fork away and shot a cold glare at Jared.
âGod is watching everything you do.â âLianne, you unfilial daughter, what have I done wrong? What do you mean by saying that?â Jared scolded.
Lianne retorted, âAs I said, those who have done immoral things will come to no good endâ¦â Mia chuckled.
âSis, youâre really cute.
Youâre already in your twenties, but youâre still acting like a little kid.â Lianne retorted, âDonât call me that.
Youâre not worthy!â Miaâs face instantly clouded.
She felt strange that Madam Blake did not say something to stop them from arguing.
She immediately held her fork and pouted, pretending to be aggrieved.
âGrandma, did I say something wrong?â Madam Blake also smacked her fork down onto the table and glared at Jared.
âDo you think Lianne is very rude?â âYou can see it too.â Jared felt that this was the first time Madam Blake thought Lianne was rude.
It was probably because Lianne embarrassed him in front of outsiders, so Madam Blake felt that it was a slap in the face.
Madam Blake said in a cold voice, âLianne learns that from you.
Do you have manners in front of the elders? Even I feel that I owe Selena.
How can you have the face to speak so confidently in front of Katherine? âWhen did you and Michelle start to hook up? Adam is half a year younger than Preston.
How can you face Selenaâs mother?â Jared was speechless.
It was Christmas.
Why did things turn out like this? Madam Blake continued, âToday, Iâll make a decision in front of Selenaâs mother Jared, leave the Blake Corporation.
From now on, you can just wait to get the dividends.â âWhat?â Jared asked in disbelief.
Madam Blake said seriously, âPreston has inherited 60% of the Blake Corporation shares under my name.
He is now the largest shareholder of Blake Corporation.
In the past, he lost his memory.
Now that he has regained his memory, Blake Corporation should be managed by him.
If you continue to stay in the company, you will only interfere with his management.â Jaredâs voice suddenly rose.
âPreston has lost his memory for six years.
And before that, he knew nothing about the companyâs core and main business.
Besides, he has also been out of touch with society for so many years.
What ability does he have to manage Blake Corporation?â Madam Blake stated, âIf you donât trust Preston and feel that he canât manage Blake Corporation well, you can sell your shares to Preston.
Itâs his own business if he loses or not.â âMom, you!â Jared was speechless with rage.
Katherine said, âName a price for the shares.
in your hands!â Jared had never felt so passive in his life.
He stood up to his feet and said, âNo one can afford the shares in my hands.â With that, he stormed off.
Adam and Mia also said goodbye to Madam Blake and left.
Only the two old ladies and Preston and his sister were left at the dining table.
Madam Blake apologized to Katherine.
âKatherine, sorry about that.â Katherine shook her head and said, âPlease donât say that.
Preston and Lianne are fine.
Thatâs good enoughâ> âDonât worry, Iâll support Preston to secure the position of Blake Corporationâs president.â âThank you.
Donât be angry.
Itâs not worth it to be angry.
Come, letâs clink glasses and drink a toast.
Merry Christmas and wish you good health.
May everything turn out as you wish.
Weâll all live a few more years and watch Preston and Lianne get married and have children.
Weâll be safe and happy.â The two old ladies picked up their teacups and clinked glasses.
After that, Lianne and Preston also went to the courtyard to set off fireworks.
It was a new year.
They were no longer at the age and situation where people walked over them.
On the next day.
