Ding!
The elevator doors slide open.
Heather strode out of the elevator and said to the man following behind her, "Father, I've always respected Jim, but what he did this time has crossed the line!"
As she said this, she let out an exasperated sigh and continued, "I know that ever since Jim found out that he's not you and Mother's real son, he's thought of himself as an outsider like me...but...he’s still your son
"How can he do something like this? He knew fully well that Mother had fallen ill and can’t afford to be aggravated right now, yet he still brought the woman who killed Aura to see her.
"Is he trying to kill Mother?”
Heather wiped her tears and added, "Father, I know Jim has always been worried that an outsider like me will receive such good treatment that I'll compete against him for the inheritance...
"But ever since what happened last time, I've learned from my mistake, and I don't even hold any position i n Landry Group anymore, so why is he still doing this?
"The Landry family fortune already belongs to him, so why is he trying to kill Mother so that you will be
upset and pass on the inheritance to him?"
Charles followed behind her with an air of dominance and malice so powerful that the entire hallway felt as though it had frozen over.
He narrowed his eyes.
He did not understand why Jim had become a person like this. He had not inherited the kindness and humility of his mother Lucy at all!
The two of them arrived at Rosalyn’s ward.
Jim, who had been staring intently at Luna and Rosalyn inside the room, furrowed his brows and turned when he heard their footsteps.
Smack!
The first thing he felt was the shooting pain of Charles ' slap!
