Chapter 1331 The Mother And Brother
Levant thought of how he should find a time to tell those things to Tiffany so that she would pay more attention to her health.
Meanwhile, Tiffany arrived at the company like usual. She had just parked her car and was heading to her office when her assistant came over in a hurry and stopped her.
“Ms. Watson, someone’s here to see you.”
“Who?”
“Over there. They say they’re your family, and it’s urgent.”
Family?
Tiffany’s brows furrowed as she looked over at the information desk. Her heart sank when she saw her mother and younger brother standing in front of the desk.
Immediately, all the bad memories from her past surged into her mind.
She remembered how her mother tried to force her to remarry back then as though she was eager to have her out of the house. Besides that, when she was homeless and had to rent her own place, her mother still went to her for the same thing again and again.
Back then, all she had ever dreamed of was to have her own house. At that time, she really thought that there was no place for her in the whole world. Living had become so hard that she even thought of ending it all.
It was that thought that caught Levant’s attention. If anything, not only did Levant lend her money when she was going through a hard time, but he also saved her life.
Tiffany could not help but feel a throbbing pain in her chest as she was reminded of the living hell she had gone through.
I wonder what is it that they want?
With her fist clenched tight, she suppressed the emotions inside her and walked toward them.
As soon as they were inside the office, her mother complimented the entire office. She talked about how grand and classy the design of the office was and even said it was a perfect match for Tiffany.
She then added, “I knew you would succeed one day. Back when you were a kid, someone once told me that you would achieve great success when you’re all grown up.”
Meanwhile, Tiffany found it ironic to hear her say that. “So, is that why you were so harsh on me? Is that why you weren’t the slightest bit concerned when I was being forced to a corner?”
Tiffany’s mother was not expecting such a response, and her expression darkened at Tiffany’s words. “Tiffany, how could you say that? I did all those things for your sake. I was only thinking about your happiness. I only forced you to get married so that you could have a happy home.”
“If you were really thinking about my happiness, then you wouldn’t have pushed me like that. I already had an unfortunate marriage once. I couldn’t bring myself to marry again so carelessly. You’re my mom, yet you never thought about these things. You only knew how to force me into doing things for your own sake. You saw my divorce as an embarrassment, and you felt humiliated when I refused to remarry. You couldn’t bear what people were saying, so you forced it on me instead.”
“How can you say that? I only did that because I didn’t want to see you bring up a child all alone. I was only thinking on your behalf. Tiffany, you should understand my concerns.”
Concerns? Is that really what it is? Then I guess I would never understand them.
