Chapter 454: Chapter 454

“Back then, I assumed that it was normal for Liam to be emotionally unstable since his parents had just passed away. I planned to talk to him once he calmed down, but he left unexpectedly,” Jake said in a self-righteous manner.

Melanie sneered and spoke through gritted teeth, “Isn’t it because you secretly liked Beatrice? That’s why you weren’t willing to break any harsh news to her son.”

Before Melanie finished her sentence, Jake suddenly stood up with eyes full of anger.

“Melanie, I’ll divorce you if you keep saying such nonsense!”

“Nonsense? Do you think I don’t know about that photo of hers that you hide in your drawer? I know that you take it out and look at it from time to time.”

Jake was infuriated when she exposed his feelings for Beatrice in front of Neil. He raised his hand to slap Melanie.

However, Neil stopped him.

“Neil, let him go! If he dares to hit me, I’ll tell the entire world about how he likes his dead sister-in-law. Let’s see if he still cherishes his reputation!”

Melanie said coldly.

“How dare you!”

Jake’s expression darkened. He could not free himself from Neil’s grip, but he said to Melanie, “I’m divorcing you!”

“Go ahead! Do you really think I want you?”

Neil frowned and said in dissatisfaction, “If you want to fight, do it back home. Don’t embarrass yourselves here.”

He knew from a young age that Melanie and Jake did not have a good relationship.

Jake was barely home. Even if he was home, he would spend most of his time in the study. No one else was allowed to go near it, and he would only come out to have his meals.

Neil remembered one time when Evie won an award at school. She went to Jake’s study to tell him about it. But instead of praising her, Jake scolded her and forbade her from entering his study again.

When Melanie returned and heard about it, she got into a big fight with Jake. After that, he did not come home for two months.

However, Melane did not care about her husband or her children. She would still leave the house and gamble late into the night. The maids were the ones who raised Neil and Evie until they were about eight years old. By then, Abalene could not stand it anymore, so she brought them to Harmony Yard and took care of them.

Hence, Neil was not close to his parents.

Melanie took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

“Let’s deal with Neil’s problem first. We can talk about other issues later!”

Neil seemed indifferent, and his voice was devoid of emotion.

“You don’t have to get involved with my business. I’ll think of a solution.”

Melanie frowned. “Liam didn’t come back just to snatch Remus Corporation from you. He also wants to exact revenge on me and Jake. If we don’t get involved, he’ll proceed with his plans.”

Now that Liam had framed Neil, they might be his next target.

Neil glanced at her and nonchalantly asked. “What do you plan to do?”

“We plan to talk to him.”

“Be my guest. But keep your expectations low.”

Liam had hated them for so many years. How would he believe them if they told him that he had been directing his hatred at the wrong people?

If he did, his entire belief system would shatter. Hence, he would not trust Jake and Melanie regardless of what they said.

After they left, Neil went upstairs to find Silvia.

When she walked out of the bedroom, she rubbed her temples tiredly. “Are your parents gone?”

“Yes, and the food’s here. Let’s eat downstairs.”

Neil could not bear to see the redness in her eyes.

“I can deal with this incident with Elaine. You should rest for a few days.”
