    Chapter 1040


    Byran wiped his tears and spoke, trying not to have a breakdown. “Mom, you know what? My sister


    herself told me about her deeds and the real thoughts she had all these years.


    I always thought she was the kindest and gentlest girl in the world and deserved the best. So I once


    picked a bone with Ellinor. But my sister did so many bad things behind the scenes. She even took


    advantage of all the people who loved and trusted her.


    Now she’s made her bed, and she has to lie on it. Neither I nor you can help her.


    Mom, I just want you to follow Grandpa’s arrangement, go stay in the countryside for a while, reflect on


    yourself, ande back when Grandpa, Grandma, and Dad have cooled down. Stop thinking about


    helping my sister. She should pay for what she’s done.”


    Xenia, after hearing her son’s words, pointed at him furiously, “You good-for-nothing! Your sister and I


    have been nning so much for you


    in the Howard family all these years, yet your grades are nothing to write home about, and you have no


    ambition.


    You are all children of the Howard family; why can Balfour inherit the family business but not you? Are


    you okay with that? Byran, are you out of your mind?”


    Byran furrowed his brows, “Mom, my brother is the eldest son of the Howard family, the first son of Dad


    and his first wife. He is excellent in all aspects, and it’s only right that our family has high hopes for him.


    I don’t want to inherit the so-called family business, nor do I want topete with my brother. Even if I


    did, I couldn’t win. So stop dreaming about unrealistic things; I won’tpete for the inheritance with


    my brother.”


    Xenia was so angry that she almost cked out, “How could you be so useless?! Tell me, how did I


    give birth to such a good-for-nothing


    son?!


    I was also a campus beauty and was pursued by many. But in your father’s eyes, I could never match


    his ex-wife, Marlinie. Now, even my son can’t match her son. Why?!”


    Byran sighed as he looked at his mother with both pity and helplessness, “Mom, I brought our family’s


    servants here; you should go to the vi with them to rest. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure they treat you


    well.”


    Xenia was taken aback, not expecting her son to not only refuse to help but also betray her, “You


    ungrateful waste of space! How could you treat me like this?! You don’t even have half of your sister’s


    ambition; I really wish your sister was a boy!”


    Byran didn’t want to argue with his stubborn mother anymore; he turned around and ordered the


    servants, “Take good care of my mom; take her to the vi.”


    The servants nodded politely, “Alright.”


    Then Byran left without looking back; he didn’t have the heart to take another look, worried that seeing


    his mother’s angry eyes would break his heart.


    Both his mother and sister should be held ountable for their actions; he couldn’t speak for them just


    because they were his family, and he didn’t want to indulge them.


    Noticing that her son was leaving her behind, Xenia screamed in despair and lost control, “Byran!


    Byran… Come back! You can’t just leave your mom like this; you can’t…”


    She tried to catch up to her son, but the Howard family’s servants stopped her.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
