Gwen anticipated her mother's reaction and said angrily, "We're fine because Simone saved us. Otherwise, we wouldn't be standing here. You're so wicked that you won't even spare your own children. How dare a witch like you call yourself our mother? I would rather not have been born so I wouldn't have a disgusting and cruel mother like you."
Melinda didn't appreciate hearing these words. "You dare to oppose your own mother? Is this the attitude a child should have? I would rather not have given birth to you either. I don't want a troublesome daughter like you."
Gwen's eyes turned red. "Fine, if that's the case, let's sever our relationship."
Melinda frowned. "I told you that nothing good would come from associating with Simone and learning all these bad things." She didn't really care about this daughter, but severing their relationship would be embarrassing. Salma had become a laughingstock in their circle because of Simone.
Gwen sneered. "Are you reluctant or just afraid? If you're afraid to sever our relationship, then forget what I said. But since you let the warlock harm Simone and us, I can only spread the word. I'll let the wealthy wives in our circle see how cruel you can be. Since you don't even spare your own children, let's see who will dare to associate with someone like you in the future." She knew exactly where to hit her mother.
Melinda was so angry that she fell back. "You wicked girl. You think I'll be scared or reluctant?" She then looked at Leon, who had a gloomy expression. "Look at your sister. Isn't she outrageous?" Her intention was for her son to stand up and teach her daughter a lesson. And incidentally, to brush aside the idea of severing their relationship.
But Leon, with a cold face, said, "Gwen says what's on my mind, Mom; I never expected that our lives would mean nothing to you. If that's the case, there's no point in maintaining this relationship. Let's just sever it."
Melinda couldn't believe what she was hearing from Leon. "What did you say?" Leon was the one who desired her motherly love the most, and she had always believed that he cared deeply for her.
Even though he had been rebellious recently, she still thought that he cherished her in his heart. But now this ungrateful child wanted to sever their relationship. How is this possible? Is he crazy?
Leon, for the first time, forcefully said to his birth mother, "I'm telling you, I want to sever ties with you. That was the last time I called you 'Mom.'"
These words hurt Melinda deeply. "You ungrateful child, how dare you say such things?" She cared more about this son than her daughter.
Leon took a deep breath. "Melinda, are you willing to sever ties with us? If you're not, I will take the initiative to post this on Facebook. You know I have millions of fans, and they will definitely ask me why. And I will have to tell them about what you did to Salma, to Simone, and to us."
He decided to follow his sister's lead and be a good student.
Sure enough, Melinda's face turned red with anger. How dare they threaten their mother? These children are ingrates. If this were to be revealed, she would never thrive in upper society anymore. She would definitely be cursed by these despicable fans.
"Do you really think I won't dare? You despicable children, just wait and see." Although Melinda was almost losing her sanity from anger, she still couldn't make the decision to truly sever ties. She took out her phone and called her husband.
Adam answered quickly. As soon as the call connected, he heard Melinda's exaggerated crying and complaining. He suppressed his disgust and comforted her. Then, he became even angrier than her and scolded the two ungrateful children. He also gave Melinda advice, suggesting that she take the initiative to sever ties so she could gain the upper hand and strike first. It was because of their unfilial behavior that she was so angry and wanted to sever ties. She could also say that as long as the children apologized, she wouldn't pursue the matter further. He wanted her to let everyone know that she was angered by the two of them and that they were in the wrong.
In reality, her main goal was to threaten these two unfilial children. Otherwise, based on their personalities, they would definitely be unyielding. Listening to her husband being even angrier than herself and saying that he would kick the two ungrateful children out of the Foster Family, Melinda felt much better.
And her husband was right. The two ingrates were determined to sever ties with her. Even if she didn't take the initiative, they would. They would also tarnish her reputation. So, it was better for her to take control.
How arrogant.
