Chapter 454


    “Back then, I assumed that it was normal for Liam to be emotionally unstable since his parents had just


    passed away. I nned to talk to him once he calmed down, but he left unexpectedly,” Jake said in a


    self–righteous manner.


    Mnie sneered and spoke through gritted teeth, “Isn’t it because you secretly liked Beatrice? That’s


    why you weren’t willing to break any harsh news to her son.”


    Before Mnie finished her sentence, Jake suddenly stood up


    “Mnie, I’ll divorce you if you keep saying such nonsense!”


    with eyes full of anger.


    “Nonsense? Do you think I don’t know about that photo of hers that you hide in your drawer?


    I know that you take it out and look at it from time to time.”


    Jake was infuriated when she exposed his feelings for Beatrice in front of Neil. He raised his hand to


    p Mnie.


    However, Neil stopped him.


    “Neil, let him go! If he dares to hit me, I’ll tell the entire world about how he likes his dead sister–inw.


    Let’s see if he still cherishes his reputation!” Mnie said coldly.


    “How dare you!”

    Jake’s expression darkened. He could not free himself from Neil’s grip, but he said to Mnie, “I’m


    divorcing you!”


    “Go ahead! Do you really think I want you?”


    Neil frowned and said in dissatisfaction, “If you want to fight, do it back home. Don’t


    embarrass yourselves here.”


    He knew from a young age that Mnie and Jake did not have a good rtionship.


    Jake was barely home. Even if he was home, he would spend most of his time in the study. No one


    else was allowed to go near it, and he would onlye out to have his meals.


    Neil remembered one time when Evie won an award at school. She went to Jake’s study to tell him


    about it. But instead of praising her, Jake scolded her and forbade her from entering his study again.


    When Mnie returned and heard about it, she got into a big fight with Jake. After that, he did not


    However, Mne did not care about her husband or her children. She would still leave the house and


    gamblete into the night. The maids were the ones who raised Neil and Evie until they were about


    eight years old. By then, Abalene could not stand it anymore, so she brought them to Harmony Yard


    and took care of them.


    Hence, Neil was not close to his parents.


    Mnie took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.


    “Let’s deal with Neil’s problem first. We can talk about other issuester!”


    Neil seemed indifferent, and his voice was devoid of emotion.


    “You don’t have to get involved with my business. I’ll think of a solution.”


    Mnie frowned. “Liam didn’te back just to snatch Remus Corporation from you. He also wants to


    exact revenge on me and Jake. If we don’t get involved, he’ll proceed with his ns.”


    Now that Liam had framed Neil, they might be his next target.


    Neil nced at her and nonchntly asked. “What do you n to do?”


    “We n to talk to him.”


    “Be my guest. But keep your expectations low.”


    Liam had hated them for so many years. How would he believe them if they told him that he had been


    directing his hatred at the wrong people?


    If he did, his entire belief system would shatter. Hence, he would not trust Jake and Mnie regardless


    of what they said.


    After they left, Neil went upstairs to find Silvia.


    When she walked out of the bedroom, she rubbed her temples tiredly. “Are your parents gone?”


    “Yes, and the food’s here. Let’s eat downstairs.”


    Neil could not bear to see the redness in her eyes.


    “I can deal with this incident with ine. You should rest for a few days.”
