Chapter 530


    Meanwhile, in Yuna’s room.


    As soon as they entered, Yuna’s demeanor shifted dramatically. Her face set in a stern mask, she


    interrogated Manley, “Manley, was what you said to daddy about pleading for me real? You’re willing to


    ditch the inheritance? And you’re actually considering being pals with Hayes?”


    Manley, believing that his mother had been moved by his and Hayes’s heartfelt gestures, was


    expecting some words of praise.


    Grinning from ear to ear, he nodded earnestly. “Yeah, Mom, every word I said was the truth! If it means


    keeping you here, I’d give up anything.”


    After speaking, Manley lifted his little face, waiting for his mother’smendation.


    But Yuna, to his surprise, flew into a rage, yanked Manley close, and red into his eyes, “You


    spineless twit! Who gave you permission to cast aside your inheritance? You must never give up our


    estate, and you especially can’t be friends with Hayes! Got it?”


    Manley was taken aback,pletely stunned.


    He couldn’t fathom why his mom was so angry; after all, he and Hayes were just trying to keep her


    around!


    The more puzzled he appeared, the angrier Yuna became. She nced around, locked the door, then


    dragged Manley to the balcony, and whispered fiercely, “You are the rightful heir, Manley. That estate


    will be yours to inherit! And cut the nonsense about giving it up!”


    Manley, confused, protested, “But what about Hayes? Why can’t I hang out with him?”


    He had just reconciled with Hayes, who was so generous that he even gave him a Transformer toy.


    Why didn’t his mom want him to y with Hayes? Pondering over this made Manley feel a pang of


    sadness.


    Yuna was livid. She knew her son was innocent, and would be swayed by anyone’s words, bending


    over for the smallest of favors!


    Without a doubt, it was Marguerite, meddling behind the scenes!


    She steadied herself, her face growing stern as she exaggerated the stakes to manipte Manley,


    “Manley, I just heard from Teresa Winston’s mother that if your daddy grows fonder of Hayes than you,


    he might kick you out too! Do you want to be cast away by your own father?”


    Manley couldn’t believe it, “Did Lady Marguerite say that?”


    “Don’t call her that! She’s nothing but a homewrecker!”


    Yuna’s venomous, threatening tone scared Manley to his core. He looked steadily at his mother,


    convinced that his daddy wouldn’t do such a thing, and Marguerite had been kind to him too. Yet, he


    also felt that his beloved mommy wouldn’t lie to him.

    Torn, he didn’t know whom to believe. Caught in his dilemma, yet wanting to reassure his mom, Manley


    nodded obediently and promised, “I get it, Mom. I’ll listen to you. Please, don’t be mad.”


    Seeing Manley’smitment, Yuna finally rxed.


    Her expression softened as she pulled Manley into a gentle embrace.


    “I’m doing everything for you. So, you can’t let me down, you hear?”


    Manley nodded against Yuna’s chest, feeling guilty inside. He resolved that the next time he wanted to


    y with Hayes, he’d make sure his mom wasn’t around.


    And as for his dad, he’d do some good deeds to earn his favor, so he wouldn’t be thrown out.


    But the naive little boy had no idea that Yuna’s actions were not only for his sake but, more so, for her


    own!
