Chapter 2160


    “Not only that, Dad, but you also had designs on Aunt Jennifer and broke Mom’s heart. If you didn’t love my mom back then, you


    didn’t have to marry her. Now you''re married yet failed to take responsibility. You were like eyeing the next best thing while


    you''ve got a full tepletely outrageous!” Cathy fumed.


    She hadshed out at her father, then turned to her mother, “And you, knowing full well he didn’t care for you, you wasted so


    much time on him. You''re the prestigious girl, for heaven''s sake, raised with such care. Your grandparents held you in the palm


    of their hands and cared for you meticulously all those years—not to be trampled on by someone who doesn’t appreciate you!”


    Her mother, Donna, was stunned by her daughter’s words.


    “Ever since we were kids, we were alwayspared to Uncle George and his family. Everyone believed we were not doing as


    good as they did. At every social event, if they were present, guests would flock to them. Even in their absence, those people


    would still question us about them.”


    Cathy''s outburst had stunned everyone present.


    “For example, ‘Is Mr. George McMillianing to the birthday party?’ or ‘What''s their next move on that big project?’ or ‘Will they


    attend the charity g?’ or ‘Are they going to clinch that real estate deal?’.”


    Cathy took a deep breath, “No one ever cared to ask how we were doing. Growing up in such an environment, feeling the


    difference in how others treat us—it would be a lie to say that we don’t feel anything! However, they have never looked down on


    us for their sess. On the contrary, Uncle George and Jennifer have been very loving, and even though Romeo is strict, our


    siblings have always been close!”


    When Cathy said this, her eyes welled up with tears, “Do you know? I’ve always been proud of the bond between our two


    families. When my ssmates’ families fall into infighting, after having witnessed so many power struggles, I''ve always been


    grateful to be part of such a loving and happy big family. | thought we were different from other families, but today.”


    Her tears began to flow, “Today, I’ve realized that our family is even more ruthless and terrifying than others when ites to


    power struggles! My own father, for the sake of that bit of family business, actually contemted harming his own younger


    brother! And my mother, unable to win my father’s heart, turned her anger towards his beloved. What twisted values are these?!”Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    Perhaps Cathy’s emotion got a bit too overwhelming, and Jeffery was moved to step forward and gently embrace her.


    Unable to hold back any longer, Cathy wept in her brother’s arms.


    George’s family felt a pang in their hearts, and even Phillip and Shirley were filled with mixed feelings after hearing their


    granddaughter’s words.


    In their eyes, their sons were sessful, and their grandchildren were outstanding. Wherever they went, they were looked up to.


    But from their granddaughter’s perspective, things were different.


    For the first time, they became aware of how the outside world differentiated between the two families, and the negative impact it


    had on the children.


    Such treatment from outsiders undoubtedly nurtured a sense of grievance and resentment within the elder branch.


    “Cathy,” Shirley gently patted Cathy’s head, and apologized, “I’m sorry you have been wronged.”


    Cathy looked up and choked up, her


    eyes red and tearful, “Grandma, I’m


    not wronged. Even Wee gh those!
