Chapter 430 Do Not Take Him for a Fool

When Leon arrived, Gwen was having tea with the old lady.

Upon seeing him, she was momentarily taken aback.

She asked, “Why are you here too?”

Leo.. smiled wryly. “Didn’t you come as well? I came for the same reason as you.”

Gwen raised an eyebrow. Are you sure we came for the same thing? I came to make it clear to

Grandma and Dad that I want to sever ties with Melinda.”

Leon realized that his sister was determined. After hearing what Harold and the others had sa he had

been contemplating his ter on the plane last night and today. He only made up his mind after getting

But judging f

r’s appearance, she must have made her decision while still on Spirit Peak.

He sighed, “I made the same decision. Originally, I wanted to come and inform Grandm and Dad. It’s

rarus siblings to think alike.

Although they were twins, as they grew older, they became less and less in sync. Their relationship had

worsened over time.

Gwen was surprised this time, “Are you willing to do this? Weren’t you the one who cared the most

about her maternal love?”

Leon sighed. “That idea died. This incident made me realize that in her heart, we siblings are worth

less than her adopted kid. Since that’s the case, let’s sever ties.

He should learn from Simone and his sister’s decisiveness. And it was also because he used to care

too much about his biological mother. The more he couldn’t receive maternal love, the more he craved

it and kept giving. But in the end, he was treated like this, which deeply hurt him. This made him even

more disheartened.

Gwen sneered. “It’s rare to hear such words from your mouth. That’s more like it. You finally seem like

a man. It makes me look at you more favorably.”

Leon:… So, quer it mean I’m not a man if I don’t sever my ties? His sister was becoming more and

more sharp- Tongued.

The old lasting beside them looked at the siblings and a hint of satisfaction appeared in her eyes.

said, “I whatever you want. That mother of yours is indeed incompetent and unworthy of being a other.

Gran supports both of you.”

She had endured that daughter-in-law of hers to the limit.

If it weren’t for the sake of the Foster Family and her grandchildren, she would have kicked that

troublemaker out long ago.

Now, that idiot had worn down Leon’s last bit of affection for her. This was the best outcome.

Leon had always known un Grandma disliked his mother, so her support was not surprising. He asked,

What about Dad?”

The old lady said, “Your dad should be arriving soon.”

Gwen came back and said she wanted to seves dies with Melinda, so she called her son to come over.

Unexpectedly, Leon was also hurt and wanted to sever ties.

It could be seen how despicable that idiot is.

Leon nodded, “Okay, I’ll wait.”

After a while, the father walked in. Just as he sat down, Gwen said that they had decided to severtes

with their biological mother.

Adam knew that

too. He looked

for regret.

Once the severance is announced, there will be no room

This time, Leon didn’t hesitate and nodded. I’ve made up my mind. Well, Mom doesn’t lie us anyway.

She has always said it’s a pity that she didn’t get rid of us back then; otherwise, she would have

wanted us. That case, severing ties will relieve us both.”

After making this decision, he felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

Motherly love had been a burden to him. Adam nodded. “Since you have both made up your minds, !

support your decision.”

Leon was also a little surprised. “I thought you would try to dissuade us.”

Adam thought for a moment and decided to tell his son about those things. He asked, “Do you hink I

care so much about your mom?”

Leon was stunned for a moment. “Don’t you care?”

Adam sneered. “Not only do I not care, but I’ve also had enough of her a long time ago. Then he told

Leon about how he was deceived, about Melinda having an affair, and about the birth of Skyler and

other things.

Leon was shoc and speechless for a while. These were things he had never expected. He turned his

head and saws sister and grandmother unsurprised, suddenly feeling like he was the naive one in the

family. If his dad hadn’t said so, he would have thought his dad loved his mom very much and was a

Imantic.

Seeing hin’s bewildered look, Adam laughed and patted him on the back. “Are you scared silly?”

Leon come to his senses and couldn’t help but say, “Dad, you’re really good at acting.” He ad

completely been fooled.

dam raised an eyebrow, “If even you can tell that I was acting, then why did I bother?”

Leon realized what he was getting at. “So, you don’t want to act anymore?”

Adam nodded. “Yes, I don’t plan to act anymore.” His eyes turned cold. “It’s time for us to fight back.”

His daughter contacted his yesterday. She even sent him that video and told him that Simone was

going oeal with Melinda. As soon as he heard it, he understood that the time had come for retaliation

and to get rid of the person behind them. So, of course, they had to cooperate well with Simone. And

he was also

Adam smiled meaningfully. “Divorce? We never got married in the first place, so there’s no talk of

Both Gwen and Leon: were surprised. “You didn’t get married?”

This kind of status was similar to being involved in an extramarital affair, as it lacked legal protection.

He added, “Now I can unilaterally propose a divorce. Whether she agrees or not is irrelevant.”

Did Melinda and the person behind her think they could easily deceive him? He had been cautios all

along and had prepared for a counterattack in advance.
