Emily Flowers was on the phone with the mother of the Tang familyâs heiress, explaining last nightâs accident.
âDonât worry. Since it didnât work this time, thereâs always another chance. I hope your daughter will be my daughter-in-law. Yesterday was just a small accidentâ¦â
Before she could finish, she heard the butlerâs voice. âYoung⦠Young Master, why did you bring so many people here? Did⦠Did something happen?â
Then, Hadwin Stephensonâs cold voice sounded. âGet lost!â
Emily Flowers looked up and saw her son walking in with a group of his men. Her expression changed slightly, and she said to Mrs. Tang on the other end of the line, âExcuse me, Mrs. Tang. I have something to attend to. Iâll talk to you later.â
After ending the call, Emily Flowers looked at her son and said, âHadwin, what are your intentions for coming here with such a large group of people?â
Hadwin Stephenson walked to the couch and sat down. He said to the men behind him, âWait outside.â
âYes.â The men filed out. Now, only Hadwin Stephenson, Emily Flowers, and the butler were left in the living room.
Emily Flowers gave the butler a look, and he left the living room as well.
Hadwin Stephenson looked indifferent. He casually took the newspaper Emily Flowers was reading earlier from the coffee table and looked through it.
Although one could read the news online now, Emily Flowers still maintained the habit of reading newspapers.
Compared to Hadwin Stephensonâs indifference, Emily Flowers felt uneasy. Her son probably brought so many people here to question her about what had happened yesterday.
The older her son grew, the more unpredictable he became. At some point, she could no longer figure out what was on her sonâs mind.
âHadwin, youâve asked everyone to leave. Is there something you want to tell me?â asked Emily Flowers when she already knew the answer.
Hadwin Stephenson seemed to say nonchalantly, âI do have to tell you something, Mom. I hope you can temporarily live abroad and then come back after a few years.â
âWhat?â Emily Flowers instantly stood up and stared at her son in front of her. âWhat did you say? Are you kicking me abroad?â
Hadwin Stephenson said indifferently.
Emily Flowers narrowed her beautiful eyes that were adorned with delicate makeup. âWhat if I donât want to? Iâm doing well here. I donât want to go abroad.â
âIf you wonât do it, Iâll have to have people stationed outside your mansion at all times. Iâll have them removed whenever you agree to move,â said Hadwin Stephenson.
Emily Flowers immediately snapped. âStationed? Are you trying to lock me up in this mansion? Like a prisoner?â
âThink of it however you want to, Mom,â replied Hadwin Stephenson.
