Chapter 1114


    The wretched girl knew her ce—this word was the best leverage.


    “Dad!” Renee pleaded desperately. “Dad, I’ll do anything you say… Please, save my mom!”


    “Will you truly do anything I say?”


    “Yes…”


    “Then help me get what I want!”


    Melvin dropped these words coldly and kicked her away before striding out of the room.


    Enduring the pain in her knees, Renee struggled to stand up. She wiped away her tears, calming


    herself, and slowly made her way to the living room.


    Linda had already set a table full of dishes to wee her. “Pam!”


    Renee paused, forcing herself to put on a natural smile.


    Approaching warmly, Linda reached out, but Renee lowered her head, avoiding her reluctantly.

    It felt like a bucket of cold water poured over Linda’s head. Her arms froze mid-air, and a trace of


    sadness shed across her face. “Pam…”


    Renee took the initiative to speak first. “Auntie, I brought you a gift from Jangasas.”


    Linda’s heart clenched tightly as joy and pain rushed in simultaneously. She was happy because


    Pam had never voluntarily talked to her since her return, but she actually spoke up today.


    She was sad that it was not the long-awaited “Mom” she hoped for but rather a distant “Auntie”.


    However, the fact that her daughter spoke up first was still a positive sign.


    Linda forced a smile and held Renee’s hand, leading her to the dining table. “These are all your favorite


    dishes… Did you miss home-cooked meals while you were in Jangasas?”


    Renee tightly pursed her lips, avoiding eye contact, and nodded forcefully.


    Linda gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind Renee’s ear. “Pam, your father and I have


    discussed it, and we believe… we should still give you a portion of the shares first.”

    “Don’t refuse so quickly!” Linda pressed her hand and pulled out a contract. “We only have you as our


    daughter, but we, as your parents, have been absent from your life for 20 years. We truly don’t know


    how topensate you!”


    “It’s not necessary.” Renee’s eyes suddenly turned red. “Really, it’s not necessary…”


    “Pam, listen to me.” Linda smiled. “Sign this document! After all, the entire Thompson Group will be


    yours in the future. What’s the difference between signing now orter?”


    “Yes!” An eerie peal ofughter suddenly came from outside the door.


    Renee trembled and turned to see Melvin slowly approaching them.


    He wore a smile on his face, but it didn’t reach his eyes. Even his wrinkles carried a sense of


    scheming.


    Linda stood up to greet him and asked the maid to bring another set of cutlery.


    “No need!” Melvin smiled. “I heard that Pammy came back today, so I came to see her personally.”


    Renee mustered all her strength to control herself, so her trembling wouldn’t be too obvious. She


    watched Melvin approach her, clearly seeing the cold gleam in his eyes. She felt his palm suddenly pat


    her shoulder forcefully, pressing down hard, and heard his low voice in her ear.


    “Our Pam is such a good girl, going on a trip and still remembering to bring a gift for her mother!”


    He emphasized the word “mother,” and Renee bit her lip tightly to prevent her tears from falling.


    “Oh, what’s this?” Melvin pretended to pick up the contract. “Hah! Linda, Pam has been refusing to


    sign, right? You and Nichs haven’t given up, huh!?”
