Chapter 364 Southâs Retaliation
âI misunderstood your mommy seven years ago. Thatâs why I said those words to herâ¦â
South looked at him coldly. âYou only said those words seven years ago? Seven years later, when Mommy and I first saw you, you hit her immediately. Itâs because of her that I didnât teach you a lesson!
Do you know what would happen to others if they had done this to her? They would be begging on the streets!â Gael was so shocked that the muscles on his face couldnât stop twitching. If South didnât speak to him in person-if he wasnât looking at the latter defensively-Gael would have thought that he was imagining this.
Is this what a kid would say? Asking me to beg on the streets? However, the confidence in Southâs eyes injected fear into Gael. Perhaps heâs not bluffing!
However, South was not done. Looking at Gael solemnly and seriously, he recounted, âThe second time we saw you, you chased us away because of your other daughterâs wedding anniversary. Do you know how sad Mommy was?â
Gael suddenly felt ashamed of himself. Even though he wanted to explain, no words came out of his mouth. After all, he didnât pay respects to his dead ex-wife that day.
South snorted, âYou felt sorry for your daughter just because she didnât have any painkillers, and you came over to force Mommy to save your daughter. Why didnât you ask your daughter to let me go then?
Iâm my mommyâs son-how come youâve never felt sorry for me? Mommy is too kind, letting you off the hook every time, but I wonât! From today onward, if you hurt her again, I wonât let things slide easily!â
When he was speaking, he clenched his fists tightly as he looked at Gael with a livid expression.
Taken aback, Gael looked fearful. He actually couldnât treat South as a seven-year-old anymore as his demeanor was even fiercer than his.
He stammered, âI-I wonât hurt her anymore. I-I just want to v-visit her!â
South snorted out laughing. âEvery time you see Mommy, she would be sad for a long time. Do you think Iâd let you see her?â
Even though Gael managed an entire company with hundreds of employees working under him, he was stumped at this moment, facing a childâs accusations. Every time Gael saw South, the latter was rather quiet and inconspicuous. However, unexpectedly, his mind was quite coherent, and he could remember every incident clearly.
Standing aside, Sophia silently cheered South on. South is brilliant indeed! His words are so powerful!
Yes! We have to retaliate until Gael has nothing to say!
Gael heaved a long sigh. âFine. I-In that case, please help me to thank your mother for asking President Nolan to let Brooklyn Company off the hook. With that, I shall take my leave now. Bye.â
However, as soon as he turned around, he heard Camilaâs voice. âSophia, whoâs there?â
Gael suddenly stopped his footsteps. However, he merely stood still, not having the courage to even turn around. Even a child could see it clearly, but why not me? Every time after meeting her, I will only blame her for not helping. However, Iâve never stood in her shoes. Why should she help me out? I was the one who wanted to break off ties with her. After all these years, Iâve never cared about her, so I donât have any rights to request anything from her! My grandson is right-I canât simply relate myself to them anymore. Camila already saw Gael, who stood still with his back facing her in a slumped manner, as if he had lost all life within him.
South didnât want his mother to be implicated with Gael anymore, so he took the initiative to hold her hand. âMommy, Iâm hungry. Letâs go have some food!â Camila replied, âSure. What would you like? Iâll bring you there later.â With that, she walked toward Gael. South quickly said, âMommy, letâs go now!â
After he spoke, he began dragging her away.
