Chapter 1340 Offending the Tanners
“What… What are you talking about?”
Ashton’s chest heaved with anger. I thought she’s my mother? How could she say things like that?
When did I sleep with Emmanuel?
“I wish I was just making this up! But I saw it with my own eyes!”

Althea was filled with emotion, her face flushing red as she scolded Ashton harshly, “I didn’t say
anything when you slept with Maxwell before. After all, he is from the Zelinsky family, and your
rtionship with him benefited the Summerton family! But now, look at what you’ve be! When did
your father and I ever teach you to be like this? You’re bing more and more outrageous-”
“Shut up! Just shut up!” Ashton couldn’t bear it any longer and turned around, storming out of the
house.
Why do I have a mother who would nder her daughter like that?
I’ve never slept with Maxwell, let alone Emmanuel!
I’m still a virgin!
And Mom’s tant double standards are making me sick!
“Ash?”
Zaiden had just returned from a meeting at thepany when he heard that Ashton hade back.
He was in high spirits and wanted to talk to her, but he didn’t expect to see Ashton about to leave the
house in anger.
“What’s going on? Ash, you just got home. Are you leaving again?”
No matter how Zaiden asked, Ashton remained silent, determined to storm out of the house.
“Stop right there!”
Finally, Zaiden couldn’t hold back his anger and shouted, stopping the stubborn Ashton.
Ashton finally stopped in her tracks, but she still didn’t want to stay at home. She turned her back to
Zaiden and said loudly, “Dad, I hope you can persuade Mom! Children grow up, and their lives should
be their own. Tell her not to interfere too much, let alone do anything despicable like breaking up a
couple!”
After saying that, regardless of how Zaiden called out to her, she just left home.
“Sigh…”
Zaiden was both angry and helpless. It was all his fault for being too busy managing the Summerton
family business since childhood, not having time to discipline the children, and letting them be free-
spirited. Now that the children had grown up, they were bing more and more disobedient, and he
was merely reaping what he sowed!
Out of wits, he went back to his room and asked Althea what had happened.
Althea repeated what she had seen, unable to contain her emotions. “Zaiden, do you think I’m wrong
as a mother? Am I not doing this for their own good? For the good of the Summerton family?”
Zaiden thought that when Ashton said, “breaking up a couple,” she meant breaking up her and
Emmanuel, so he

Zaiden thought that when Ashton said, “breaking up a couple,” she meant breaking up her and
Emmanuel, so he was on the same side as Althea.
I will never allow my daughter to be someone’s mistress!
Therefore, he gently patted Althea’s shoulder tofort her. “Alright now, teaching our children will
take time. We didn’t do a good job before, so now we have to put in more effort!”
Althea was still very dissatisfied and gritted her teeth. “Our children have be like this because of
the Lowe siblings. The Quillen family is backing them, right? Since that’s the case, as long as the
Quillen family is in Onza, I won’t let them live a single day in peace. Only then can I find some peace of
mind!”
Zaiden was feeling helpless. Although he disagreed with Althea’s actions, he couldn’t stop her.
Moreover, the Quillen family had already offended the Tanner family, and the Summerton family had
taken a side tonight, so they could only stand firm.

On the other hand, Emmanuel and Mackenzie needed to figure out what had happened today.
Since it was inconvenient to bring everyone home, the couple decided to split up. Emmanuel took
Frederick and Shane to the food stalls near Yociam Residence, while Mackenzie took Beatrix home.
“Mackenzie, have we caused a big problem?”
Beatrix exined the situation to Mackenzie in detail, and upon seeing Mackenzie’s cold expression,
she couldn’t help but feel scared.
After all, she had some knowledge about the Tanner family of Onza. They were official members of the
Chanaea Chamber of Commerce and were even rtives of Teddy Tanner, the chairman of the
Chamber of Commerce, from the Tanner family of Zovince!
“Don’t worry, it’s not your fault.”
Mackenzie sighed softly andforted Beatrix, “You must be tired. Go get some rest. There are vacant
rooms in this house”
“Okay”
Beatrix nodded and stood up, feeling extremely guilty. Mackenzie had entrusted her with an important
task, but now she not only failed to acquire the factory but also offended the Tanner family of Onza. It
was truly a case of doing more harm than good!
