Chapter 999: Chapter 1002: The Old Lady Falls Out with Simon Taylor Chapter 999: Chapter 1002: The Old Lady Falls Out with Simon Taylor Compared to Emily Taylor’s shock and disappointnt, the grandmother, who had just regained consciousness with difficulty, had a myriad of resentnts flickering in the depths of her eyes.
“Emily— Emily—” the old woman called out to Emily Taylor beside her, wanting her to help her stand.
“Help over there, help over there; I must go and ask that ungrateful son myself if he is really determined to protect that mother and daughter!”
The grandmother, shakily rising to her feet, looked much older than just monts before.
The woman who once had the complexion of youth despite her white hair suddenly beca withered in appearance.
“Auntie, it’s chaos over there, let it be…” No matter what had happened earlier, the grandmother was still her auntie.
Emily Taylor supported her, trying to persuade her not to go.
Over there, a crowd was gathered around Simon Taylor, causing a huge commotion; it was no place for the old woman, especially at her age.
“No, I must! I am your auntie. When your mother left you in my care, I took on the responsibility of an auntie. I cannot stand by and watch Simon go so astray!”
The grandmother spoke with deep sorrow; Simon Taylor was the child upon whom she had lavished all her care and attention.
She had almost co to think of him as her own son.
She never imagined that one day, Simon Taylor would commit such an inhuman act!
Emily was helpless, having no choice but to comply with the old woman’s wishes and help her into the crowd.
Seeing them approach, the Taylor family relatives quickly cleared a path.
“The grandmother is here, make way, make way—”
Emily Taylor supported the grandmother, walking her to the very center of the crowd.
There, Simon Taylor was shielding Milly Gray, standing face to face in confrontation with Dominic Taylor.
He would not let Dominic lay a hand on Milly, whatever was said.
“Enough—”
The old woman entered the crowd and, with a stern face, commanded a halt to the brothers’ quarrel.
In the midst of the people, Emma Shaw was pulling at Dominic, while Simon Taylor was protecting Milly, seemingly like a married couple’s battle.
“Auntie, you’ve co at just the right ti. Please, please persuade Big Brother!” Dominic was relieved to see the grandmother.
Big Brother was brought up by the auntie herself and always listened to her the most.
The old woman nodded silently, lifting her gaze to look at Simon, who was visibly distressed.
She said, “Simon, you are the hope of the Taylors, the one steering its course. Are you really willing to forsake your status for this woman?”
A man who has an affair with the stepdaughter brought by his second wife is a man who absolutely cannot represent the Taylors.
If they didn’t want to beco the laughingstock of other families, Simon Taylor had to either send Milly Gray and Rowena Gray away and deal with the matter in secret,
or the Taylors had to be handed over to Dominic to manage.
But Dominic idolized his big brother and was not one to take advantage of soone’s misfortune. At a ti like this, he, just like the grandmother, hoped Simon would see the error of his ways and return to the right path.
Simon Taylor was well aware of the situation he was in, but… but he was helpless.
“Auntie, I’ll take care of my own affairs…” he hesitated as he looked at the grandmother, and finally, with a stern face, “You—don’t ddle in what doesn’t concern you!”
“You—Simon Taylor, what did you say!? You tell not to ddle, you unfilial son; I’ll beat you and that vixen to death!”
The grandmother never thought that Simon Taylor would one day defy her like this.
Her hands were shaking with rage, yet at the end of the day, she still cared for Simon the most, so she directed all her anger at Milly Gray.
If it weren’t for Milly, if it weren’t for her and her mother, if it weren’t for these two shaless won drugging Simon, things would never have co to this.
At that mont, the grandmother had completely forgotten the fondness she once had for Rowena Gray and her daughter Milly.
All honors of being ‘the great benefactor of the Taylors’.
All claims of being ‘the lucky star who would expand Simon’s lineage’.
All these words that she had once spoken had now beco the most embarrassing parts of the past.
