Chapter 90
In contrast to the serene atmosphere of the two friends expressing their thoughts in
the Hilton hotel, the Ford family was engulfed in a heavy atmosphere.
After the unsettling events at the hotel the previous night, no one had much of an
appetite.
The planned dinner was abruptly cut short, and everyone returned to their respective
homes.
Violet proposed by saying, “How about letting Sophia go back and spend a few days
with her mother? It has been a while since they last saw each other, and they must miss
one another.”
Sophia actually wanted to go back and stay with Nora, but Nora declined, stating, “She
is now carrying the Ford family’s grandchild. She is already a part of the Ford family.
How can she simply return to her mother’s home? If people find out, they will think that
the Ford family is mistreating Sophia. They are about to get married, so it’s best to avoid
complications. What do you think, Violet?”
Add
expressed her opinion, leaving Violet with no room for further argument. She
old only nod and say, “You’re right, Nora. You have considered everything.”
Sophia and Violet bid farewell to David and his family, while Malcolm sat in the living.
room watching TV.
When Violet returned, she patted his shoulder and said, “Malcolm, come with me. I
have something to tell you.”
They entered a guest room, leaving Sophia standing outside, feeling like an outsider
who was being excluded.
She snorted in anger and went upstairs, forcefully slamming the door to the master
bedroom to vent her frustration.
Inside the guest room, the mother and son heard the sound of the door slamming.
Violet sat down heavily, feeling utterly defeated. “Sophia’s mother is quite formidable.
Dealing with her for just one day has exhausted me. Ah, it’s true that a daughter takes
after her mother. I didn’t expect Sophia to be so difficult to handle, all thanks to her
luence
Malcolm didn’t think much of it and leaned against the wall with his arms crossed,
expressionless. “Isn’t she still quite gentle?”
“No, she isn’t! Malcolm, let me tell you, this woman is very cunning. Don’t be deceived
by her innocent appearance. She’s actually very shrewd. Haven’t you noticed how Mr.
Wilson listens to her for everything? Mr. Wilson is a master of landscape design, but
what is she? She’s not even attractive and lacks any status. The fact that she has
caught Mr. Wilson’s attention makes her extraordinary.”
Malcolm had been in the business world for quite some time, so he understood the
kind of person Nora was. However, people are always uninterested in things that don’t
interest them. He had no interest in Sophia, and naturally, he had no interest in her
mother. Her scheming had nothing to do with him.
Violet sighed. “Ah, it would have been better if it were Sherry. She had no family, so we
could have done whatever we wanted with her. Whatever I asked her to do, she would
do it. She would obediently listen to me. Both of us would have lived comfortably.
Unlike Sophia now, she’s pregnant and acting as if she’s carrying a treasure. There are
women in this world who can give birth to your child. It’s as if she has become
pricious just because she’s pregnant. And her mother Indirectly criticizes me,
complaining that I’m not treating her daughter well. If she thinks it’s not good, then she
shouldn’t let her daughter marry into the Ford family! Who cares!”
After listening, Malcolm’s eyes rolled, and he stood–up straight, saying, “Mom, what do
you mean by that? If both Sophia and Sherry were here, would you still choose Sherry?”
“That’s not possible either. Sherry can’t have children. If we took her in, the Ford family
would come to an end.”
“She can have children.”
Violet turned her head in surprise and looked at him. “Are you talking about Sherry?”
“Yes,” Malcolm said, “she can have children. There’s nothing wrong with her body.”
“But I saw the examination report of her blocked fallopian tube with my own eyes! How
is that possible?”
The doctor who issued the examination results is an old classmate of
Sophia’s mother. They conspired together and labeled Sherry as infertile, giving Sophia
the opportunity to infiltrate our Ford family openly.”
“Oh my god… Violet was stunned and didn’t know what to say for a moment. “Hey, how
did you find out?”
“Mom, do you remember the man with the mask? The one who was with Sherry.”
Violet nodded. “I remember, I remember. He’s the fugitive!”
“While I was investigating him, I had someone check the obstetrics and gynecology
doctor at the hospital. Initially, I thought she had taken money from Sophia, but when
Sophia’s mother came last night, I had someone look into it. That’s when I discovered.
this connection.” Malcolm closed his eyes. “Mom, we have all misunderstood Sherry.”
Violet didn’t care. “If she blames me, so be it. What can she do? She doesn’t have a
father like Ms. Wilson, who forces me to handle things properly. Malcolm, now that
things have come to this point, you must not act foolishly. No matter how good Sherry
is, no matter how much you like her, you have to keep your distance from her. As long
had her family supporting her, you should treat her better. Ms. Wilson must
our company and not be let go. The Ford Group is the result of the hard work of
your grandfather and father for two generations. It cannot be ruined by your actions.”
Malcolm had his own thoughts: “Let her have Mrs. Ford’s position, but she shouldn’t
think she can control me.”
Violet slapped him hard in anger. “Can’t you be more ambitious? Sherry is just a woman;
why are you so infatuated with her? Don’t you listen to what I say?”
“I don’t care; I just want Sherry.”
“You…” Violet stood up in anger. “Are you trying to anger me? I risked my life to save you
from the fire back then, and I almost died, and I worked so hard to raise you. Are you
grateful to me now?”
Here it comes again. Malcolm dreaded his mother’s talking about the past.
“Yes, yes, yes. When our house caught fire during my childhood and my father was not
present, it was not easy for you, as a woman, to take care of two children. You
brother and saved me. Mom, you have repeated these words countless
since I was young, and I have become accustomed to hearing them.”
Sam your mother, and no matter how many times I say it, you must listen!” Violet said it
with bitterness. “If I had known that you would turn out to be so helpless for a woman, I
would have saved your brother instead.”
They couldn’t see things from the same perspective.
Malcolm turned and walked away, stating, “It is too late for regrets now. My brother
probably perished in the fire a long time ago.”
