Why did she have to tell her son about these things? The most important thing was that these things were not true. The only mistake she had was to marry Reece. She had lost most of her life for this decision. Why did she have to suffer such humiliation?

The son in front of her was staring at her with cold eyes. Lannie smiled bitterly. “Why do you have to do this? That woman stole my husband, stole my son’s father’s love, and made me stay single at such a young age… Why do you think I should do this?”

“That’s a human life! Mom, how could you be so vicious and cruel?”

“You’re so vicious? How dare you say that I’m vicious?” Lannie looked at Elliot with tears rolling down her cheeks.

“Everyone can say that I’m vicious and cruel. You’re the only one who can’t say that about me! You’re my son, the flesh that fell off my body. I’m the one who dragged you up bitterly. You can’t say that about me!”

“Can it be that I can’t distinguish right from wrong because you gave birth to me and raised me?” Elliot growled. “If you raised a son just to protect your health and filial piety, I would rather you didn’t raise me! What’s more, you should have known why you raised me, right?”

“You… you unfilial son… get lost!” Lannie pointed at Elliot, her fingers trembling. Elliot glanced at Lannie, turned around and left without saying a word. He watched his son’s figure disappear and she sat down dejectedly.

The auntie stepped forward and asked, “Madam, are you alright?”

Lannie didn’t speak. She just let out a long sigh. “It’s really a failure for me to be a man! My husband doesn’t love me. Now, even my only son has begun to be distant from me. I feel sour in my heart. What’s the point of living like this?”

Elliot angrily returned to the mansion and pushed away the housekeeper who came to greet him. He entered his room with a cold face and locked the door. He lay on the bed wearily. He was indescribably disappointed, sad, and upset.

She didn’t know how long she had been lying down when she heard footsteps at the door. Someone knocked on the door and shouted outside, “Young Master, it’s time to eat!”

Elliot ignored him and continued to lie motionless. The servant shouted a few times at the door and left without hearing his reply. After a while, the old man’s voice came in kindly. “Elliot! Open the door. Grandpa has something to say to you!”

Elliot grabbed the quilt and covered his head, isolating all the sounds outside. Silence and darkness surrounded him. After an unknown period of time, he fell asleep in a daze, saying that he had fallen asleep.

However, he still had consciousness. He felt a headache and unspeakable sadness all over his body. He could feel the pain in his heart, which made him want to die. It would be good if he could die like this!

As soon as she thought of this, she suddenly heard a shrill scream in the mansion. “Bad news! Madam… Madam committed suicide!”

Elliot turned over and sat up. It was not a dream. There were messy footsteps outside, accompanied by panic and trembling voices of the servants. “Take him to the hospital quickly!”

Someone knocked on the door. “Young Master! Come out quickly! Madam committed suicide!”

Lannie was giving first aid in the operating room. Elliot leaned against the cold wall and stopped on the ground. He held his head without saying a word. If you looked carefully, you could see that his body was trembling. Old Master leaned down and patted his body gently. “Nothing will happen. Don’t worry!”

How could he not be worried? The person lying on the operating table was her closest relative. He was disappointed and could not accept it because he loved her. It was because what happened all of a sudden broke the beauty he had always thought of.

But he had never hoped that something would happen to her. No matter what, he was the flesh that fell from her body. It was she who had painstakingly raised him. The family affection would never stop.

The lights in the operating room went out, and the door was opened. Elliot suddenly stood up, and a nurse came out first. “The vital signs are stable now. You don’t have to worry.”

Elliot was relieved and pushed Lannie into the ward with the old nurse. Lannie was thrown into a coma. Looking at Lannie’s pale face, Elliot only felt bleak in his heart.

It had been three days since Amber left South City. During these three days, Rodney changed his number and called her countless times, but no one answered.

Amber left, so did Elliot. Although they were not on the same flight, Rodney did not believe that they would not have contacted each other. If possible, he really wanted to rush abroad to catch this heartless woman.

However, overseas was not his domain. With the protection of Elliot and Pierce, he really had no way to deal with Amber.

Rodney was sad about the news that Celia and her daughter, Deon’s investigation, had been informed. Celia’s social relationships were simple. Except for Zoe, she had no friends. Shannon was also very stable. Except for communicating with some noble ladies, there was nothing unusual.

This result made Rodney very surprised. These days, he had been thinking about it for a few days, and he always thought that only Celia and her daughter did not want Amber to appear in South City. Now that these three people had been excluded, who would target Amber? Was it really Breanna?

Rodney would never have dreamed that Shannon would not do anything by herself. She had handed everything over to Riya’s son, the driver of the Black family, to do.

He would never have thought that Riya, who had been a nanny in his home for more than ten years, would be associated with Shannon.

Seeing that Rodney was deep in thought, Deon quietly stood at the side and waited for him to speak. After a long time, Rodney said, “Help me collect experts from both home and abroad for treating patients. It’s best to be famous!”

Deon was stunned. In the past, when Amber couldn’t get pregnant, he didn’t see Rodney looking for a pregnancy expert. Now, why did he look for an expert?

Elliot stood at the end of the corridor and smoked. The cigarette was sometimes bright and sometimes dark. Looking at his gloomy face, he heard footsteps behind him. He put a hand on his shoulder and said, “Elliot, Grandpa has something to tell you.”

Elliot nodded and went to the study with the Old Master. “Grandpa already knows what happened yesterday. In fact, you don’t have to ask your mother about what happened that year. You can ask him.”

Elliot didn’t say anything and just looked at the old man quietly.

“The emotional dispute between your parents and Ashley was actually a tragedy caused by the marriage between the rich and powerful families. Your grandma and your grandma were good friends. They said that they were going to get married in the early years. Later, your mother was gentle, kind, and virtuous, so your grandma arranged this marriage for your father. Unexpectedly, your father and Ashley were engaged privately in school.

“It’s hard to explain what happened that year. Everyone has different angles and different angles. For us, your mother is a kind and kind daughter-in-law. She is filial to her parents-in-law, respects her husband, and treats her family well. It can be said that no one in our family doesn’t like her except your father.”

Elliot could not help but sneer. “She’s clearly aware that others don’t have feelings for her, but she’s still stubborn. What does she want?”

“It’s hard to say who is right and who is wrong when it comes to love. Look at the elders around you and the friends around you. How many of them are in love with each other?”

Elliot was silent. The old man continued, “After your father and your mother got married, they were depressed. Your mother has always been protecting her without complaint or regret. For rich and powerful families, it is really a blessing to marry such a wife. You can only blame Ashley for being disobedient. She has already married someone else, but she still wants to revive with your father. She wrote a letter to your father to ask him to meet her. Your father was obsessed with her, so he went to see her. After meeting Ashley, I didn’t know what she said to your father, but he didn’t want to come back again.”

“At that time, you were still very young. Your mother couldn’t bear to see you lose your father’s love at such a young age, so she endured the humiliation and went to your father in person. But he didn’t want to come back. Later, your mother couldn’t go to meet Ashley. When she asked him out, he died in a car accident.”

“Why didn’t Ashley get into a car accident sooner or later? Why did she get into a car accident when she asked me to meet her?” Elliot asked, “Grandpa, do you dare to say that there is no doubt about this matter?”

“I dare to say that the car accident has nothing to do with your mother. To be honest, from my point of view, I have never thought that your mother was wrong. She is the daughter-in-law of the Thomson family, and she has the right to defend her marriage. If I insist on saying that she is innocent, it means that she is very unlucky.

“Ashley died in a car accident on the road. Ashley’s death was actually an accident, and it had nothing to do with your mother. But your father took it for granted and blamed it on your mother. Your mother had been regretting and blaming herself. She always thought that if she hadn’t asked Ashley out, she wouldn’t have died. From then on, she began to pray.”

“If you’re worthy of being a vegetarian, why do you have to pray?”

“Elliot, don’t go too far. Ask yourself, why are you so strict with your mother? Do you dare to say that you didn’t do it for Amber? If Ashley was just an ordinary person, would you blame your mother like this? Because of you, you put the blame on your closest relative, but you wanted to frame her. Elliot, don’t you know what kind of person your mother is? Think about it carefully. Is it easy for your mother these years?”

“I…”

“You are already a big man. You have your own way of thinking and judgment, your own responsibility and responsibility. I don’t force you to live according to my imagination, but I hope you can treat your closest relatives well!”

Elliot went to the hospital alone and stood at the door of the ward. Through the glass, he saw his mother crying on the head of the bed. Breanna sat at the head of the bed and held her mother’s hand. No one knew what she was talking about.

For so many years, he had never seen his mother cry. Even in the face of the sarcasm of his parents and the rumors outside, she had always been strong.

Her mother had always been kind. Over the years, she had donated countless funds to charity. As a rich and powerful woman, she actually went to work in the old folks’ home in person. She could not bear to blame the servants in her family. How could she kill a person?

Ashley’s death should be an accident. He was so angry that he was confused!

Grandpa was right. If the person in the car accident was not Amber’s mother, would he blame his mother for this?

He was just indignant! He just hated her because the woman he loved could not stay with him. Because of the frustration of his feelings, he vented his anger on the person closest to him.

However, her mother committed suicide because of this. If the servants hadn’t found her in time, she wouldn’t have dared to imagine the consequences!

The old man’s words came back to his ears. “You are already a big man. You have your own way of thinking and judgment, and you have your own responsibility and responsibility. I don’t force you to follow my wishes, but I hope you can be kind to your closest relatives!”

Elliot looked at his mother in the ward in a daze and asked himself over and over again, “Elliot, what have you done for your mother in your life?”

He couldn’t remember anything. In his memory, it seemed that his mother was the only one who had sacrificed for him, and he had never done anything for his mother!

She remembered her mother’s pleading look that night. “Breanna is a good girl. I like her very much. I hope you like her too and will be with her!”

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Elliot’s mouth. At this moment, he finally understood his father’s mood at that time. He couldn’t stay with the person he loved. He was the same as everyone else.
