Emily Flowers looked at her son mockingly and said, âIf I go to prison, I wonât be the only one humiliated but the Stephenson family and Stephenson Group will be too. Stephenson Groupâs stocks will plummet, and the shareholders will suffer heavy losses. Do you think you can stay as president?â
Emily Flowers had thought of a way out for herself in such a short period of time.
âYou can only let this go. From now on, Iâll live my days here, while you can live yours back in Stephenson Residence!â said Emily Flowers.
Hadwin Stephenson smiled faintly. âYes, youâll live your life here, but you can never leave this place!â
Emily Flowers froze. âWhat do you mean? Are you going to lock me up in here? Are you going to lock up your own mother?â
âYou can call it âlocking upâ. Youâll spend the rest of your life in this old castle. Someone will take care of you, but you can forget about the life of luxury you want,â said Hadwin Stephenson.
Emily Flowers immediately said furiously, âWhat right do you have to lock me up? I can leave whenever I want, and Iâm not letting you lock me up!â
âThen details of the crime you committed will be sent to the police as soon as you set foot outside this old castle. Even though youâre in a foreign country, we can resort to extradition. In that case, youâll have to spend the rest of your life in prison. You can choose between these two options,â said Hadwin Stephenson.
Emily Flowersâs face was full of disbelief. âNo⦠No, you wonât do that. Itâll do you and the company no good. Itâll even make the company suffer huge losses. You and the Stephenson family will be humiliated!â
Hadwin Stephenson said firmly, âI will do so! Iâm not only the patriarch of the Stephenson family but also Linaâs husband and the father of my daughter. I should get justice for them! If you donât believe me, you can try stepping out of the old castle and see whether I keep my word!â
There was no hesitation in his cold voice, and there was no emotion in his eyes as he looked at her.
It was as if his affection for her had been exhausted after the many incidents.
Emily Flowers felt a chill rising on her back. It was fear. She was afraid of her own son.
He was giving her the impression that he would⦠keep his word!
âNo⦠You wonâtâ¦â she muttered, not knowing whom she was trying to persuade.
Hadwin Stephenson just stared at Emily Flowers coldly. âYouâre staying here for the rest of your life. Iâll come and collect your dead body in the future, but if you ever step out of her, Iâll have to collect your corpse from prison.â
With that said, Hadwin Stephenson left without hesitation.
Emily Flowers shouted, âIâm your mother! Iâm your mother! Are you going to do this to your motherâ¦
How could you?â
However, Hadwin Stephenson did not stop no matter how she shouted!
In his opinion, his mother had died long ago when she would rather destroy his happiness for money and power. She was dead to himâ¦
For some reason, Linaâs heart beat violently all of a sudden. She had a nagging feeling in her heart.
After thinking about it, she texted Hadwin Stephenson.
Lina: [How are things over there? When are you coming home?]
Her phone soon rang. It was a call from Hadwin Stephenson.
