Chapter 483
“Dad?” Yolanda covered her mouth in horror. She never imagined her grandma could be so cold–hearted, even hurting her own dad.
She quickly moved to help stop her dad’s bleeding with a tissue, anger flashing across her face. “Grandma, is this really okay with you? Can’t we just have a civil conversation? One minute you’re throwing stuff, the next you’re hitting someone. He’s not just your son; he’s my dad too! How could you do this to him?”
“Yoli, kneel.”
Yolanda’s hands froze. “Dad?”
“Kneel!”
Yolanda had no choice but to bite the bullet and kneel. Thankfully, she was wearing long pants today, so kneeling didn’t hurt her delicate skin.
“Mom, she’s your granddaughter. She’s been through so much, suffered so many humiliations, and finally came home. Don’t you feel any sympathy for her as her grandmother? Don’t you want to make it up to her?”
Grace glanced at Yolanda. She was her granddaughter; how could she not love her? How could she not want to make it up to her?
But this kid always had so many bad ideas in her head, always plotting something, always against Bella; that’s why she didn’t like her.
If she could just get along with Bella and be more understanding and well–behaved, she would definitely get a share of the inheritance!
But her attitude, along with Attlee’s and Olga’s ambitions, made Grace determined not to leave them a dime!
“Ever since we were kids, only Bella has been there for me, taking care of me in your stead.”
“She’s helped me with water, massages, bathing, turning over, and changing my catheter. You’ve done none of this!”
“How many times have you come to see me? If it weren’t for the recent problems at home, you wouldn’t even bother!”
“Not only do you not visit me, but you also try to drive away my old friends at the company. If you had a good reason, that would be one thing, but your actions are just unheard of!”
“You call me mom, but you don’t actually treat me like one! To you, I’m just an ATM. All I’m worth to you is my inheritance! If you got that, my last years would be miserable!”
“Stop talking about the inheritance. I’ll give it to whoever I want.”
Grace’s face grew colder, her voice lower. “Get out. Don’t come back.”
“Mom.”
“If you disturb my rest again, I’ll have Bella take me to another hospital, one you can’t find!”
“Mom, don’t be angry. Please think about what I’ve said.” Attlee was still trying to make his case. “If I were able, if I were rich, if I didn’t have to worry about food and clothing, you could leave your inheritance to whoever you want, and I wouldn’t mind! But the problem now is that the company is facing an unprecedented crisis.”
