Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 421

“My family has been taking wonderful care of them since the day they were born. They're Holts. Why would we have any need for a connection to you? We didn't need you before, and we certainly don't need you now. Take your things and get out, or I'm calling security,” Janina said, her tone ice-cold.

How dare Julius bring Elena here without her permission? What did he take her for?

Did he honestly not remember how much his dear mother had always despised her?

Back when she was with the Aurelius family, her relationship with Elena had been the absolute worst.

She had humbled herself for love, letting Elena bully her endlessly. It had become a habit for the woman to stand before her, dripping with arrogance.

Sure enough, in the next second, Elena’s haughty, domineering mask slipped right back into place.

She pointed a finger at Janina, practically fuming. “Who do you think you are, talking to me like that? I’m their grandmother! Is this how you show respect? I’ve already swallowed my pride coming here, what more do you want? Those children aren't just yours—our Julius is their father, too! Honestly…”

“Mom, that's enough,” Julius cut in, stepping forward before she could finish. “You’ll wake the babies. If you can’t speak respectfully, you’re not going to see them at all.”

Elena’s hand trembled with rage. She stared at her son in disbelief. “You…”

Her own son was siding with an outsider—his ex-wife, no less.

Furious as she was, she knew that if she soured relations with the Holt family now, she might never see her grandchildren again. For the sake of the babies, I have to endure this, Elena told herself over and over.

Watching Elena’s ugly display, Grace and Ethan finally understood what kind of life their daughter had endured with the Aurelius family. A mother-in-law who despised her and a husband who cheated on her. No matter how strong a person was, that would break anyone.
