Chapter 242


    "I''m sorry, Sean. I don''t want to leave you behind, but my anxiety disorder is worsening by the day. I


    am afraid that I will hurt you. Forgive Mommy for leaving you."


    Back then, he was not too young or too old. He was in his rebellious phase.


    He was the naughtiest kid in school, and he often got himself in trouble for fighting and truancy.


    Everyone thought that he was a delinquent, but no one knew that he did all that to get his parents''


    attention.


    His father frequently found pleasure with other women. His mistresses would call his mother on the


    phone every day and upset her with explicitnguage.


    His kind and gentle mother could not withstand the stress and eventually was diagnosed with


    depression and anxiety disorders. 1


    Her health failed, and her temper worsened.


    He thought that when Mommy said she would ''leave early'', she was going to run away from home


    like how he used to.


    He did not expect that it was a suicide note. Mommy jumped off a tall building after writing it.


    "They killed my mother, Rose. Ever since then, I could


    not stop thinking of revenge, even in my dreams," Sean said impassively.


    He sounded as though he was telling a story about someone else.


    Rose had nned to excuse herself so that she could make dinner for Zetty, but she was shocked


    by Sean''s sudden confession.


    She felt a pang of pity for him, seeing how he was curled up on the table like a poor kitten, unlike


    his usual carefree and cheerful self.


    "Sean, if you think that doing something can make you feel better, then you should do it. However,


    you shouldn''t let your conscience be blinded by revenge."


    Sean nodded and said softly. "I''ve never thought of taking their lives. I was only thinking about the


    happy times before my father started Bell Enterprise. We were poor, but my parents weathered


    through the difficulties together.

    "I only want Bell Enterprise to return to its original state. I want my father to return to poverty. I want


    him to see if anyone would be willing to stay by his side without his riches and mour.


    "I want my father to regain his conscience, and make him apologize to my mother in front of her


    grave..."


    Rose sighed.


    Sean had spent his entire life trying to make up for his unfortunate childhood.


    "I hope that you can help me, Rose," Sean looked helplessly at Rose.


    "How can I help you?" Rose was clueless.


    "There''s no one around me that I can trust. Ever since I joined Bell Enterprise, that woman had


    ced her spies all around me. I need a friend whom I can trust."


    Rose nodded seriously.


    "Alright. I might not be able to help you carry out your revenge, but I can at least be a friend you can


    trust and listen to your troubles."


    Sean shed a bright smile. "Come to my office tomorrow and be my assistant, Rose."


    "Mm."


    It was already past midnight when Rose returned to Cloudy Dreams.


    As she opened the front door, the interior was dark.


    She took off her shoes and tiptoed inside, careful not t o wake the children up.


    The light suddenly turned on.


    Jay was sitting on the couch. His tired eyes were staring at Rose.
