Chapter 1047


    hapter 1047


    Sigrid’s mom, Latonia, and dad Quin Laurence, were lounging on the couch in the living room after


    dinner


    Latonia was getting a facial from her personal beautician while Quin was engrossed in thetest


    financial newspaper.


    It was a slightly rainy night, the pitter patter on the roof added a dash of life to the quiet house


    Along with the rain came a knock on the door. The maid who was wiping the dining table, put down her


    cloth and went to pull the curtains.


    Standing outside the ss door, drenched from head to toe, was Sigrid, her eyes fixated on the people


    inside


    The kids had all grown up and moved out Only Latonia and Quin lived in the house now. Their


    children would asionallye home for a meal, but they’d always give a heads up beforehand.


    Sewing Signdpletely drenched and disheveled, standing outside their homete at night, shocked


    both Latonia and Quin. They immediately instructed the maid to open the door


    “Sigrid, what’s wrong?‘ they asked urgently, reaching out to her. They noticed her shaking from head to


    toe, a sight that left them unnerved.


    “What happened, Sigrid? Latonia questioned, trying to wipe the rainwater off Sigrid’s face But Sigrid


    pulled away avoiding her touch


    Latonia went stiff, a sudden realization hitting her Seeing Sigrid’s tear–streaked face, a surge of guilt


    overwhelmed her


    Sigrid however, pushed their hands away refusing to step inside the house She stood there under the


    eaves, her reddened eyes boring into them.


    “Why did you do this to me? Why did you do this to Chase? she demanded


    How could they have subjected her to such prolonged suffering? How could they have torn her away


    from the person she loved the most?


    They were her parents, who had taken care of her since she was a child yet they pushed her into an


    abyss, making her life a living hell


    She couldn’t ept that Chase had pushed her away so ruthlessly, all because of her own parents


    Her parents, who seemed so kind, so rational


    “Do you know, Chase’s grandma hung herself because of this Sigrid clenched her fists and for the first


    time, yelled at her parents,pletely disregarding her image


    “You guys indirectly killed a person just to separate me and him, and you’ve managed to keep it from


    me all these years? This heart wrenching scream stunned Latonia and Quin, leaving them filled with


    quilt


    “Mom, you have a son too Wouldn’t you feel heartache and sadness if he was treated this way by


    someone else’s parents?” Latonia opened her mouth to say something. but was interrupted by Signd’s


    bitterugh.


    “Mom, Chase did have someone who cared about him, but it wasn’t his parents, it was his grandma.


    Yet you used his grandma to threaten him. You got what you wanted, but in the process, you hurt me,


    and also dragged his grandma into this.


    Sigrid had never thought about how Chase had spent those years when she was living a life worse


    than death. He pushed her away with his own hands, lost his grandma, but never said a word. It was


    only yearster, after bing a shining star in the legal field and gaining the approval of her parents,


    that he came back to find her


    But she forced herself to forget him. When he showed up in front of her, full of joy, holding flowers, and


    said, “Sigrid, I’m back. We can be together now” He seemed so happy, but she didn’t want to say a


    word to him, and had her bodyguards kick him out


    He came to find her countless times, but never mentioned that it was her parents who forced him. He


    only kept asking for her forgiveness.


    She always thought Chase was the one with a character problem, but it turned out that the ones who


    made him this way were her own parents.


    What a joke

    Sigrid couldn’t help butugh until the tears streamed down her face.


    “Mom, you knew all along yet you pretended to be clueless. You even flew over here to console me,


    saying that Chase, a yboy wasn’t worth loving Was it him who wasn’t worth loving, or was it you who


    thought he wasn’t worth it?”


    This was a scornful interrogation that left Latonia with no ce to hide. She reached out to grab


    Sigrid’s hand but was shrugged off


    “Don’t touch me Your acting your scheming I find it all disgusting”


    A sharp pang resonated in Latonia’s heart as she looked into her daughter’s spiteful gaze. Speechless,


    she could only stare back at Sigrid, her own eyes brimming with


    tears


    Seeing his wife in such a state. Quin jumped to Latonia’s defense. “Sigrid, your mom was only trying


    to protect you. Chase was always frequenting nightclubs and even drew your brother into it if it weren’t


    for him, your mom wouldn’t have had to intervene. If you’re looking for someone to me, it’s him for


    not taking care of himself.”


    Sigrid, ovee with emotion, broke down in tears. ‘Dad‘ You tooe from a wealthy background,


    don’t you understand the dirty games people y?”


    Quin’s face creased into a frown, yet he remained silent. Sigrid fixed her gaze on him and


    continued, “Chase’s mother died long ago. His stepmother, seeking to ensure her own son’s


    inheritance, used his grandmother to pressure him, forced him into those nightclubs to tarnish his


    reputation!”
