Old Madam Amery showed a look of disdain in her eyes. "Do you think I will believe you? Who else could do this except you? Do you think I don't know what you are planning in your heart? You secretly released the news to the media because you wanted to put pressure on us. You are afraid that the Amery family won't take you in..."
"You put in a lot of effort in this because you're afraid that the Amery family might not accept you."
"I can see through your little tricks. I will never allow you to succeed!"
In the end, Old Madam Amery made threatening remarks to her son, who was lying on the bed. "Bill, listen. Never take her in. I won't agree with this!"
Bill's face turned ashen.
She said all of this openly, which made him very embarrassed. Meanwhile, he was also worried that Tina would overthink it.
He tried hard to suppress his anger and said, "Mom, are you done criticizing?"
Old Madam Amery was so angry that she bellowed with her eyes wide open. "What's wrong with me? It doesn't matter if you're not clear-headed, but I can never tolerate her! As a young woman, she is way too shrewd. The Amery family won't accept such an illegitimate daughter. You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible!"
Tina's eyes turned cold.
She said again, "You misunderstood me!"
The corners of Tina's mouth were slightly raised, and the smile on her face was faintly discernible. "I don't want to join the Amery family. I came here today just to figure out the true circumstances of my birth!"
Old Madam Amery was slightly stunned.
As Bill heard Tina's words, a look of panic appeared in his eyes. "Tina..."
Tina shook her head slowly. "I've learned what happened in the past. You broke up with your mother peacefully. This was her choice, and it had nothing to do with you! Since she didn't need you to be responsible for her, then I don't need it either!"
She knew what her mother was thinking.
Tina was clear about her mother's character- she was independent and free and never hesitated in dealing with feelings. Since she chose to give birth to her after breaking up, she must have made the decision and didn't need others to take the consequences.
Before she passed away that year, she had entrusted Tina to As pry instead of Bill, which meant that she had never thought of telling Bill about it.
If Bill hadn't learned the truth by accident, the secret of Tina's family background would have been buried with Ovia.
Old Madam Amery snorted contemptuously. "It was too late. How could you pretend to be noble at this time? You are as hypocritical as your mother!"
She still didn't believe in Tina.
Anyway, Old Madam Amery, prejudiced by first impressions, had chosen to believe that Tina made the news.
She was taken back, but she still thought her denial was a trick for her to get their sympathy.
Tina knew what Old Madam Amery had in mind, though her words and her eyes, but she didn't want to argue with her. "Believe it or not!"
She turned to look at Bill, who was lying on the bed, and said politely, "Chairman Amery, take a good rest. See you!"
After that, Tina turned around and left.
When Lin was at the nurse station, she also saw Abby and Old Madam Amery, who went to the ward from a distance.
Thinking of Old Madam Amery's hostile attitude yesterday and the angry look on her face, Lin rushed to stop her, but it was still too late.
In the corridor, she could vaguely hear Old Madam Amery's snoring.
The atmosphere in the ward was depressing.
Old Madam Amery was holding her shoulders furiously. Lin looked at her and tried to ease the embarrassment. "Miss Hall, why did you leave so soon? There may be a misunderstanding..."
