Chapter 474
“Mom, don’t worry, there’s no poison.” At this moment, Attlee was sitting by the bed, looking at Grace’s
face helplessly. “We know you’re mad, and yeah, we messed up. We shouldn’t have put Be’s info on
that missing persons site, leading to your separation.”
Grace, hearing these words, was a bit taken aback. Had something unusual happened today? Her son
was actually reflecting on his actions. That was a rarity.

“Last time we visited, we really took to heart what you said.” Attlee looked genuinely remorseful; his
head hung low in regret.
Grace had previously mentioned that ever since they put Be’s info on the missing persons site, the
Murphy family had hit hard times, driving away their fortune without even realizing.
“Be’s been doing so well in school all these years, and you never even told me.”
Hearing this, Grace found it a bit funny and immediately retorted, “When did I not tell you? Every time I

call you, the minute I start talking about Be, you lose interest. You’re always ‘busy‘, ‘in a meeting‘,
‘doing something else‘. Basically, you never want to make time to hear me out.”
That was a fact, and Attlee had no retort.
“The rare times you guys do call me, it’s always to borrow money or for some boss’s contact. After
giving you the money and the contact info and just starting to fill you in on Be’s recent situation, you
guys are already rushing to hang up!”
“Well, you could’ve texted me!”
“Don’t you guys know that from middle school onwards, the school system would automatically send
Be’s homework and monthly exam results to you? Be got full marks on every test just to gain a bit
of your favor!”
This was news to Attlee; he hadn’t realized that Be had been doing so well in school all these years
or that she had been longing for their attention this whole time.
They really screwed up on this front.
But he had absolutely no clue that the school system sent homework and grades…
Olga, standing off to the side, was looking even more upset. She suddenly remembered that she used
to receive texts from the school about Be’s homework, vocabry/words to memorize, and tests to
take!
She was so annoyed by the constant texts that she called the school and gave them a piece of her
mind, and the texts stopped.
But Be didn’t know about this; she thought her parents could see her grades, so she studied hard
every day.
“So you also didn’t tell us that Be is the founder of QY Corp!” Attlee’s words held a hint of me.
“You guys don’t even care about your own child, and now you’re ming me? Be is still underage;
she didn’t want to make you feel inferior to a minor, so she’s always been mindful of your feelings.
These past few years, she’s been helping you guys out behind the scenes. Do you really think the
Murphy family could be as prosperous as it is today with your level of intelligence?”
Olga was immediately defensive: “Mom, even though Arabe is the founder of QY, the Murphy
family’s sess today is clearly due to me and Attlee’s hard work over the years.”
“Hard work?” Grace scoffed, “Take the recent events as an example; you guys wanted to invest in a
few projects. Be practically spoon–fed you the right paths to take; she practically handed you the
money on a silver tter! Yet you guys lost all your capital. Be had to cover for you with a hundred
million dors!”
Olga and Attlee were both shocked and unable to believe it.
“There’s a lot more where that came from. That kid truly cares about you guys, but how have you
treated her over the years?”
