My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 248

The lunch was going well until a middle-aged woman appeared and disturbed the peace. She ran straight towards Yohannes and started hitting him. Her eyes were filled with tears and her voice was hoarse. "Yohannes, I can turn a blind eye on you having a mistress and spoiling her. But why did you give her the right to inherit the company? What about Irvin? He's our son! Don't you know the people in Jarold City are going to ridicule him for this?"

The woman was Irvin's mother, Helen Miller. She was ferocious, glaring at Nerissa while she bellowed, "Nerissa, you've won. For ten years I've been fighting you, but I still couldn't win you! You've destroyed my marriage and my family. Why are you doing this to my son now?"

Nerissa seemed oblivious to the claim. She turned to Yohannes and frowned at him, "Why did you change the heir of inheritance for the company to my name?"

"Sooner or later, they will be yours. I'm getting older. I won't be around much longer," Yohannes softly replied to Nerissa. Then, he turned to Helen and said, "I've transferred all

of my assets to Irvin. Besides, he's doing so well with his company in Mesville, isn't he?"

Helen shot daggers at him with her bloodshot eyes, "Yohannes, I'm the one who managed the company with you for all these years. What right do you have to give it to someone else?"

"Nerissa isn't someone else. She is my wife," Yohannes firmly answered. He then shifted his gaze to Irvin and asked him to bring Helen home. He sounded tired at the state of affairs.

Irvin raised his eyebrows at the request, and he rebuked with coldness, "But isn't she at home?"

"You —" Yohannes' temper flared up, and he went out of breath to the point that he started coughing. Nerissa hurriedly went to pat at his back to help clear his lungs. "I won't accept anything from him. Please don't bring pressure on Yohannes anymore. He's not feeling well. Please leave now!"

Nerissa's words were directed to Irvin and Helen.

Helen glowered at both Yohannes and Nerissa with hatred and anger. A brief moment later, she held Irvin's hand and said, still trembling from the fury, "Irvin, let's go!"

Irvin remained unmoved, only looking at Yohannes and Nerissa in wrath. He would have gone berserk on the two of them if Helen wasn't pulling at him, sobbing.
