Chapter 749


    "How could it be, Mom? Am I not here to see you?"


    He wanted to get up, but Elizabeth tightly held onto his wrist.


    "Don’t go! If you’re gone, I would have nothing." Damian frowned.


    "Mom, I’m not leaving.I’m just going to get you a ss of water.Your lips are so dry that they’ re


    king."


    Elizabeth touched her lips and realized they were dehydrated.She sighed.


    "king? Who would give a d*mn even if my lips start bleeding?"


    "Mom, don’t say it like that.Do I not care about you? Dad too!"


    "your dad? Please!"


    She snorted, still looking upset.


    "After all these years, all he does is pay us lip service.Deep down, he only cares about that woman."


    "You''re just upset, Mom."


    Filling up a ss of water, he handed it to her and helped her to sit up.


    While she sipped the water, Damian said, "You''ve been with Dad for so many years.I’m sure you know


    how he feels about you.Besides, from my perspective, Dad still loves you."


    "He loves me, yet he couldn’t bear to part with 10 million dors and gave my ne to someone


    else?"


    Saddened, she stopped drinking and ced the ss aside.


    Judging from her reaction, Damian knew she was still angry and tried to coax her.


    "It’s about the ne, huh?"


    "See! Even you know about it.Imagine what other people say about this.I-I’ve never felt so disgraced in


    my life!"


    Burying her face into her hands, she didn’t dare to watch the news for the past two days.She didn’t


    even check what was trending on Twitter for fear that she would see people making fun of her.


    In fact, to avoid the sneering looks of others, she had not picked up her calls and stopped hanging out


    with her friends.


    "You’re overthinking!"


    He pulled her hands off her face with a smile.


    "I’ve not heard anyone making fun of you or talking behind you.It’s just a ne.Do you care about it


    so much?"


    "What do you know? I’ve set my mind on it for a long time, even from the time the auction promoted it."


    "Well, you still can get another piece of jewelry instead of it, right? Or you only wanted the ne for


    the rest of your life and nothing else?"


    Caught speechless for a moment, Elizabeth quickly retorted, "Of course not! One ne is not


    enough."


    "There you go!"


    Damianughed.


    "Look, one ne is never enough, and you know that.Mom, very soon, the Tanner Corporation


    would be ours.When that happens, you can get as many nes as you want to the envy of


    others.There’s no need to get impatient."


    Hearing this, Elizabeth grew calmer.


    "Are you sure you can make that happen?"


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    "Hey, don’t you believe in me? I’m your son!" Damian said, feigning an angry look.


    Seeing him angry, Elizabeth yielded.


    "Damian, I believe you, but...well, as long as you believe you can do it.I’ve suffered all my life, and my


    only wish is that you’ll be somebody.I''ll stop worrying if you can head the Tanner family."


    "Mom, don’t worry.It’s going to happen soon.When thepany bes mine, I''ll move you in with


    the Tanner family.You''ll be the family''s matriarch then, and you can keep that woman as a maid or kick


    her out!"


    What he said struck a chord with Elizabeth.


    She nodded.


    "You’re right! Then, we’ll be the ones pushing her around."


    "Oh, Mom, I’ve brought a gift for you."


    He patted her hand and turned to pull out the perfume bottle from his briefcase.


    "This is my first creation.This perfume will soon beunched internationally and be a top seller


    worldwide.I’ve brought one here just for you."


    "Really?"


    Hearing this, Elizabeth suddenly perked up.
