Chapter 1204: Chapter 1204: Obsessive-Compulsive Cleanliness Chapter 1204: Chapter 1204: Obsessive-Compulsive Cleanliness This voice, Julius Reed was very familiar with it.
It was Dawson Carmichael.
Rembering the conversation he had overheard in the backyard, he felt sowhat curious.
Julius Reed was not interested in the Donovan Family’s infighting, but he was quite interested in the royal court ntioned by the woman in white.
Could it be fearless of Azure Mountain?
Quite interesting.
Azure Mountain is bellicose and considered superior among sects; no one dares to provoke it recklessly.
Nelson is a saintess, deeply favored by the master of Azure Mountain.
It could be said that Nelson represented most of the will of Azure Mountain.
If she decided to seek revenge, the entire Azure Mountain would support her.
Even so, the woman in white still claid to be unafraid of Azure Mountain.
In Julius Reed’s view, the woman in white did not hold a high position; she was likely just an underling within her organization.
Even a minor character dared to make such bold assertions, which, despite being sowhat exaggerated, still indicated that the so-called royal court ntioned by the woman must possess the capital to not fear Azure Mountain.
Looking around, there were not many that fit this criterion.
Moreover, there were no organizations linked to the royal court.
Such a vast, powerful, yet deeply concealed organization, if it were in Star City, could not possibly remain utterly leak-proof.
‘Check the financial status of the Donovan Corporation.’
While Nelson was pushing the door open, Julius Reed sent a ssage to Templeton Lena.
The woman in white, occupying such a huge estate, must be serving the so-called royal court.
There was bound to be a financial issue.
“Mama.”
Nelson pushed the door open and imdiately saw Dawson Carmichael sitting in front of the desk.
She rushed over excitedly, completely disregarding her image as a saintess.
At that mont, she was just a young girl.
“Nelson.”
Dawson Carmichael smiled, extending a hand to gently touch Nelson’s face.
Tears glistened in her eyes.
She had changed into a different outfit and was no longer the cleaner in shabby clothes, sweeping the floor with a broom.
Now, Dawson Carmichael was entirely the head of a wealthy family.
Gracious and luxurious.
Even with her hair already graying, she exuded an air of nobility when seated there.
A pride that ca from within.
“Mama, did you change your phone number? Why didn’t you tell ?”
Nelson bit her lip, speaking with a hint of grievance, “Although I left Azure Mountain, my master set a rule not to let contact you on my own. It’s only because she sent to Star City on a mission that I managed to grab this opportunity after much begging and pestering.”
Hearing this, Dawson Carmichael’s eyes dimd sowhat, but she quickly recovered.
“It’s Mama’s fault. I wasn’t feeling well at that ti, so I closed my doors and spent my days in prayer and vegetarianism, worrying you,” Dawson Carmichael said as she held Nelson’s hand, “You’ve gotten a tan. Did you suffer a lot in Azure Mountain? I was reluctant to send you there at the ti. But the won of the Donovan Family must be strong!”
“That is the family tradition. The Donovan Family has always been led by won.” At this mont, the woman in white standing in the room spoke up with a smile.
“Who is this…”
Nelson raised an eyebrow and sized up the woman.
She had been focusing only on standing beside Dawson Carmichael and had not noticed anyone else in the room.
Only when the woman spoke did she realize there were others present.
“This is my wife, Branley Sinclair.” Finnegan Springs walked in quickly from the door and introduced her with a smile, “Three years ago, Auntie helped to matchmake, and I married her. Branley, this is the Nelson I often ntion to you, the saintess of Azure Mountain!”
Hearing his words, Branley Sinclair nodded, warmly taking hold of Nelson’s hands, “Sister Nelson, Auntie and Finnegan often ntion you. It would be difficult not to know of you.”
With that said, Dawson Carmichael’s face darkened slightly, but she quickly concealed it.
“Turns out you’re my sister-in-law.” Nelson looked at the smiling woman in front of her, feeling very strange.
She couldn’t put her finger on why, but she felt that the smile was too insincere.
Not genuine.
But since it was his adoptive mother who had arranged this, and it was Finnegan Springs’ wife, Nelson could only make polite conversation, “From now on, you must keep a closer eye on Finnegan Springs. This young man is not the type to give peace of mind.”
Having said that, she imdiately walked to the door, took Julius Reed by the hand, and led him in front of Dawson Carmichael.
“Mom, this is my boyfriend.”
Nelson said with pride, “Not bad, huh!”
“It’s you…”
When Dawson Carmichael looked up and saw Julius Reed’s face—the one belonging to Elaenor Wood—her heart imdiately soared to her throat.
Last night, in the courtyard, the person who claid to be Finnegan Springs’ friend!
It was this man right before her!
And now, he was involved with Nelson?
“I don’t agree!” Dawson Carmichael said sternly, “No! Absolutely not!”
She could tolerate having the family business taken away, could tolerate being reduced to a puppet with no real power!
She could go from being a lofty CEO to a cleaning lady.
But!
There were two people who were her bottom line!
One was Dawson Carmichael’s elderly father, and the other was Nelson in front of her!
If Finnegan Springs and Branley Sinclair dared to cross these two people, she would rather break down in total destruction!
Dawson Carmichael had a contingency, but unless it was a last resort, she didn’t want to resort to that!
“Mom… You… you’ve only t him once, and he really is a good person.”
The sudden turn of events left Nelson stunned and confused.
She thought she would receive blessings, but instead, she was t with a severe scolding.
And Dawson Carmichael’s attitude was too abnormal.
Throughout her childhood, although the domineering CEO of the Donovan Family was quite strict with others, she had always been a loving mother to Nelson.
“No!”
Dawson Carmichael said decisively, “I will agree to anything you want to do, but not this! If you want to be with him, fine. But then you must sever the mother-daughter relationship with right away!”
The ever-loving Dawson Carmichael now seed like an enraged lion!
Protecting her young, not letting anyone co close.
“You’re not welco here! Get out!”
Dawson Carmichael, her face red, stood up and pointed to the door: “Now!”
Finnegan Springs’ friend…
Was no good man at all!
Rembering their conversation from last night, her anger was uncontrollable!
This was too much!
“Mom, could there be so misunderstanding… he…”
“Enough! Don’t say another word!” Dawson Carmichael interrupted Nelson, her body shaking slightly with anger, “Nelson, I’ve never asked you for anything your whole life. But now, I am begging you!”
She held Nelson’s hand tightly, pleading, “Leave him!”
“Mom…”
Nelson’s eyes were filled with tears that were swirling around.
She couldn’t understand why her mother, who had always been yielding to her wishes, would suddenly erupt in such fury.
Finnegan Springs and Branley Sinclair were also taken aback.
What was this all about?
“If I’m not welco here, then I’ll take my leave first.”
Julius Reed said with a faint smile, glanced at Nelson, and then turned around to leave.
“Hey, brother-in-law, don’t go…”
Finnegan Springs hurriedly went to stop him, and at the sa ti, he reached out his right hand to pat Julius Reed on the shoulder.
Anything Dawson Carmichael didn’t like, he liked.
Crack!
But the mont Finnegan Springs’ right hand touched Julius Reed, the sound of a dislocation suddenly rang out.
“I’m germophobic.”
Julius Reed took out a handkerchief from his pocket and lightly dusted his shoulder.
