Chapter 545
I knew about Mom going after the Tanner family. I had thought that she was just snatching away some
of the family’s businesses out of spite, but she actually managed to overwhelm the Tanners in just half
a month.
Grandma told me how Dad had married Mom and built hispany using the money from Mom’s
family, only to betray her love for himter on. I could understand why Mom would do what she did,
but… Is her ultimate goal to destroy the Tannerspletely? Honestly, the thought of a beautiful and
gentle woman like Mom turning into a merciless avenger scares me. Just how much pain and despair
did she suffer to end up like that? Also, if this is the way she now behaves, how could she possibly
approve of my rtionship with Christopher?
Nathan thought I was reluctant when he saw no response from me; he got a little anxious. “I hate
having to ask you for help, Yvonne, but I really have no other choice now. Besides, you grew up in this
family! We may not be as rich as those wealthy families out there, but we never had to worry about
putting food on the table, either. As your father, all I ask is for you to help me out this one time!”
Theoretically, I was indeed supposed to help my dad this one time. “Have you seen Mom?” I asked
while ncing at Scarlett who was standing by the door.
“I have. She’s still as gentle and capable as ever.” The look of nostalgia on Nathan’s face suggested
that he was recalling some pleasant memories of their rtionship.
“Yeah, Mom looks just as pretty as before. I’m sure she has already made her intentions clear to you,
right?” I asked.
With the support from the Goldstein family, crushing the Tanners was definitely a piece of cake for her.
Given the number of people who wanted to coborate with Goldstein Corporation, the Goldsteins
could easily have these interested parties destroy the Tanners along the way. As such, Mom must have
made some kind of request in order to give Nathan a chance to approach me.
Nathan seemed hesitant to bring up that incident and said with a frown, “There are certain things that
cannot be undone after so much time has passed. But she’s your mother, so I’m sure she’ll agree if you
ask her. Please help me out this time! I promise – it’s thest time I’ll ask for your help!”
The anxious look in his eyes and the fact that he used such a humble tone with me was evident that
the Tanner family was faced with a huge crisis.
As my dad, he could’ve just shamelessly asked me to deal with his conflict, but something seemed to
have changed in our rtionship without us realizing it.
“I’ll try my best, but I can’t promise you anything. Mom and I aren’t as close anymore after our
prolonged separation, so she might not listen to me,” I said with a helpless sigh.
“She will! She has always cared about you and feels guilty for leaving you with us over the years. I’m
sure she’ll dly oblige to anything you ask of her!” Nathan eximed anxiously.

Unfortunately, he was wrong about that. Mom had not even approved of my marriage with Christopher.
“It is better for the doer to undo what he has done, Dad. If you can get Mom to let go of her desire for
revenge, it would be a lot more effective than anything I say to her. I’ll try my best to talk her out of it,
but I don’t know if it’ll work.” I was so caught up with my thoughts that I didn’t even notice how
inappropriate Dad’s statement was. I was a part of the Tanner family, to begin with, so him saying my
mother left me with them made it sound like I was an outsider they had taken in.
“Do you know what happened to my Uncle Robert?” Mom and Dad had known each other for so long,
so Dad would surely know something about her brother. I was really curious as to what happened
between Robert and Julia back then that turned her into a murderer.
“Robert? Why would you bring up that guy?” Nathan’s expression changed the moment he heard me
mention Robert’s name. Judging by his look of fear and anxiety, I figured he must’ve suffered a great
deal at my uncle’s hands.
