“Mom, I’ve seen the news.”
A cold, airy voice was heard from the other end of the phone.
Mabel’s face instantly turned pale.
Adina hurriedly supported her swaying body as she asked worriedly, “Mrs. Winters, are you okay? Do you want to take a seat first?”
“I’m okay,” Mabel sighed and said with a smile, “Let me answer a call.”
She walked out, closed her eyes, and said softly, “Earl, Duke has told me what happened last time. I really didn’t expect you to take my trust for granted and attack your own brother. Earl, I believed you once, and I’ll never do that again. I won’t see you anymore. Leave Sea City. Go somewhere far away, and never come back.”
“Mom, you’ve only seen the part where I harmed him. Have you ever questioned why I did that?” Earl hissed, “I’ve worked so hard to run the company for decades, and it was ruined by Duke! I just wanted him to have a taste of his own medicine. I wanted him to experience how I felt for so many years. What’s wrong with that?
“He’s having the time of his life. He has a family of his own and already has four children. What about me? What do I have?
“We’re twins, but he’s in the spotlight, and I have to stay in the shadows. He’s admired by everyone, and I’m like a mouse in the gutter. How is that fair?”
Mabel’s lips quivered as tears streamed down her face.
‘They’re my sons. Both of them are dear to me. I can’t just choose any of them…
‘But that year…
‘Things have come to this. There’s nothing I can do.
‘I can only finish what I’ve started.’
“Earl, I’m sorry. If I were to not trust what others said so easily, I wouldn’t have sent you away. And things wouldn’t have turned out this way. Earl, hate me as much as you want.” Mabel pursed her lips and said, “If you want to kill me, go ahead. I won’t fight back…”
“Hmph!” Earl sneered. “I’m not interested in killing you. I just want to take back what belongs to me!”
He then hung up.
