Chapter 1051:

As Barton was dragged out, the Lloyd estate fell silent. Brook addressed everyone with a voice that brooked no argument.

“If anyone speaks of today, they will face severe consequences.”

His cold gaze swept over the staff, and they bowed their heads in submission.

“Everyone better keep their mouths shut.”

“Understood, sir.”

With that, Brook turned to Kinslee, his tone softening.

“Mother, are you feeling better now?”

“You’ve harbored anger against me for years. I know I’ve made mistakes, but I’m still your son.” Brook’s voice carried a trace of frustration, his chest heaving as he sighed heavily.

“Today, I went along with your wishes regarding the snake-shaped necklace. Can we finally have a proper conversation?”

Though he often wore indifference like armor, guilt had quietly taken root in his heart when it came to his mother. But Kinslee’s sneer was as sharp as a blade.

“Conversation?” she echoed, her tone dripping with disdain.

Her gaze swept over Brook, as if she were appraising an ungrateful stranger rather than her flesh and blood.

“You bring this woman into my home and expect a civil discussion?” Kinslee’s finger jabbed toward Nova, who stood nearby, a picture of quiet unease.

“If it weren’t for the torment she caused, Gianna would never have taken her life in despair!”

She turned away, her voice trembling with bitterness.

“The Lloyd family’s success — our very standing — is owed entirely to Gianna!” Her eyes glistened with regret as she spoke of Gianna, her grief as raw as an open wound.

“If I’d known you’d turn out to be such an ungrateful disgrace, I would have ended things before you had the chance to shame us like this!”

Seeing Kinslee’s fury boiling over, Allison and Kellan quickly rushed to her side.

“Kinslee, please, sit down and have some water,” Allison urged gently, steadying the older woman by the arm.

Kellan swiftly handed over a cup of warm water, his hand resting on Kinslee’s back in a soothing gesture.

“Allison’s right,” Kellan added, his tone neutral but firm. “You’re not as young as you used to be, and your health isn’t the best. There’s no need to get upset over those who aren’t worth it.”

Kellan had always treated Brook and Nova with cold detachment, as though they were mere strangers to him.

Brook’s face darkened as he caught Kellan’s words.

What did he mean by “those who aren’t worth it?”
