âThe 15 million dollars from 29 years ago can buy half of Blake Corporation.
âWith my motherâs dowry, the Blake Corporation underwent another series of development.
âBut what about my mother? What happened to her? âShe was trapped by love and had been depressed all her life.
She was hurt deeply by the presence of the mistress and illegitimate children of yours.
âYouâre living the best of both worlds with your 2 families.
âYou feigned civility and lived in hypocrisy with my mother and then, you went on to live a happy life out there with your family of four.
âAdam is half a year older than Preston.
Donât you find it ridiculous? âJared, do you know what my motherâs biggest regret in her life was? âThe things that my mother regretted the most were meeting you and believing your sweet words so easily.
âWhen my grandfather and uncle died in a plane crash, you coaxed my mother to take over the Cook family so that you could combine the Cook Group and the Blake Corporation into one company.
âAt that time, my mother lost her father and brother.
She thought you were her last support.
âBut you guys stabbed her in the heart.
âFortunately, Michelle couldnât keep her cool and exposed herself in advance.
âOtherwise, my mother would have persuaded my grandmother to ha you.
âJared, for the first few decades, the Blake Corporation was supported by my grandmother.
For the latter decades, the Blake Corporation was expanded using my motherâs dowry.
What right do you have to claim that the Blake Corporation is yours?â âYouâre an idiot! Your mother brought the dowry.
Didnât I give her a betrothal gift? I gave her nearly 30 million dollars.
What do you know about the matter between us? Back then, I indeed loved your mother and pursued her sincerely.
But after we got married, I realized the flaw in her personality.
She was paranoid every day and made all kinds of trouble with me every day.
I was physically and mentally exhausted.
If it wasnât for her, I wouldnât have had a family outside at all.
You wonât understand now.
When you get married in the future, youâll understand my situationâ¦â âHuh!â Lianne laughed coldly.
She never thought that a person could be so shameless.
Oh, no, Jared was more than shameless.
He was also vicious.
He was not human at all.
He could even hurt his son and biological mother.
Could he still be considered a human? She sneered and said, âA betrothal gift of nearly 30 million dollars? You did give a 28-million-dollar betrothal gift, but my mother brought all of it back to the Blake family.
Adam is only half a year older than my brother while Mia was half a year younger than me.
You said that you love my mother? You said that my mother had personality flaws and acted paranoidly? âArenât you just bullying my mother because sheâs dead and canât speak for herself? âIf my mother is in heaven, I hope that she makes everyone who hurt her pay the price, especially the bastard that coveted her money, built an illegitimate family outside, and even slandered herâ¦â Jared was called a bastard by Lianne.
He was so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to slap Lianne.
Lianne quickly retreated and fell into the chair.
Her face turned pale.
She thought that she would not be able to avoid the slap.
Unexpectedly, the slap did not land on her.
It was Trevor.
Trevor caught Jaredâs hand.
Trevorâs expression was especially dark.
He heard everything Lianne said towards the end.
He also heard Jared scolding Lianne.
Indeed, there were many shameless people in this world.
Kent was shameless, and Jared was also the same.
Yechiel Xander, Lily Sox, Nancy Zeller⦠They were all shameless people.
Lianneâs heart could not help but beat faster when she saw Trevor.
At the same time, she had mixed feelings.
She liked him.
What about him? In her mind, her motherâs words on her deathbed were like a demonic voice.
âLina, remember my words.
If you fall in love or get married, you must find a man who truly loves you, dotes on you, and pampers you to the heartâ¦â When her mother passed away, she was still young.
She did not understand the deeper meaning of the words As she grew up, words.
The most heartbreaking thing in her motherâs life was that she mistook Jaredâs hypocrisy for true love.
Her mother was trying to tell her that love should go both ways and never be one-sided.
Jaredâs wrist was grabbed by Trevor.
He was filled with anger.
He shook off Trevorâs hand and gritted his teeth.
âTrevor Stinson, arenât you too much in charge? This is the Blake Corporation.
Iâm dealing with my family matters now.
Do you think that I canât do anything to you just because I canât beat you?â He glared at Trevor with a warning look in his eyes.
Trevor was not afraid either.
He knew very well that a vicious and crazy person like Jared had another attribute, which was selfishness.
Selfish people were all afraid of death.
Even if Jared had the video of Trevorâs father killing Yechiel and Lily, Jared would never share it.
Because once Jared shared it, it meant that he would die too.
Such a person would not exchange his life for someone elseâs.
Thinking of this, Trevor narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, âI also said that I wonât get involved in the Blake familyâs matter.
However, I wonât allow anyone to bully my girlfriend.â Upon hearing the words âmy girlfriendâ, Lianneâs eyes flashed with light that went away quickly.
She understood that Trevor must have said that on purpose to help her.
Her gr the Xander family was very grateful to her grandmother that they asked Trevor to come and protect them.
âLianne is my biological daughter.
Canât I teach my daughter?â Jared was furious.
Trevor was still indifferent.
âYou never taught her in the past.
You donât need to do so in the future.
Iâll still say the same thing.
I wonât get involved in the Blake familyâs matters, but I wonât let anyone bully my girlfriend, even if youâre her biological father!â His words were clear.
He meant Jared was nothing but Lianneâs biological father on paper.
âTrevor, I hope you keep your word.
Youâd better not interfere in the Blake familyâs matter.
Otherwise, donât blame me for fighting to the death!â After saying that, Jared left Lianneâs office angrily.
Trevor happened to be in the Blake Corporation and could protect Lianne.
Would he still be able to protect her when she returned to the Blake Residence? Would he be able to accompany Lianne all the time? Also, as long as Trevor and Lee did not interfere in the Blake familyâs matters, Jared had nothing to be afraid of.
However, he was still holding his grudge.
He reached out and tugged at his tie.
In Lianneâs office⦠After Jared left, the air became unusually quiet.
âTrevor, Iâll pour you some tea,â Lianne said.
When Trevor saw the design drafts scattered all over the ground and some of them were torn, he thought that they were drawn by Lianne.
He squatted down to pick them up and said apologetically, âI should have come over earlier.
When you go to work in the future, Iâll come over.â The bodyguards protected her on the road.
He could come to the company to protect her from being bullied by Jared.
âThereâs no need.
Itâs too troublesome for you,â Lianne said.
âItâs not troublesome at all! Before your brother is truly in power, Iâll come over every day.
Itâs just that everyone might misunderstand that Iâm your boyfriend.
It might be difficult on you,â Trevor said.
He had known Lianne for many years.
Although they did not have a close relationship, Julian had work relationships with Lianne.
Occasionally, they would meet at Rendezvous.
In the past, she was cold and aloof in his eyes.
She was a true serene beauty.
He used to think that she was cold because she was arrogant.
She did have the right to be arrogant.
Who would not envy her background? Although her mother had passed away and her father had another family, no one dared to question her background.
Her parents were from wealthy families, and she was the real socialite.
Only now did he understand that her coldness was her armor.
Without her armor, she was just a weak little girl who needed protection.
