Chapter 993 -996: Unveiling Charles Taylor’s Origins (2) (Additional Release 4)
The old lady muttered incessantly, “This is preposterous, no wonder your grandson has no manners; it’s all because his father led him astray…”
“Enough—”
Emily Taylor and Lily simultaneously pulled down their faces and yelled at the old lady.
She scolded Aidan Lucas and then scolded Ben; this old hag had simply lost it!
“You… you all…” The old lady’s eyes widened in utter innocence as she looked at Lily and then at Emily Taylor.
“Emily, I could accept being shouted at by her lacking manners. But you, you actually yelled at me too…?” The look on the old lady’s face spelled utter disbelief.
Emily Taylor was raised by her hand and had always been obedient and respectful to her; how could she have the audacity to yell at her own aunt!
Emily knew that her actions might have hurt her aunt’s feelings.
But then again, the old lady’s behavior just now had also hurt her feelings.
She sighed and spoke with a slightly more tactful tone, “Auntie, please sit down and rest for a while, don’t interfere anymore.”
“This matter wasn’t anything serious to begin with, it wouldn’t have escalated to this point if you hadn’t kept harping on about the three boxes of jewelry, demanding this proof and that proof,” Emily Taylor said, her words laden with reproach towards her aunt.
Well and truly siding with Aidan Lucas, Emily Taylor’s every word contained a hint of blame towards her aunt.
“And Paul Davidson…” she glanced at Charles Taylor who was still throwing a tantrum on the ground. “Ethan Wilson is right, this child indeed lacks discipline.” 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝔬𝔪
Ignoring such a capricious and unruly child, yet turning around to criticize her own son and grandson for poor upbringing.
If it weren’t for the old affections Emily held for the family she had come from, she would have already turned her back and walked away with her son and grandson!
“Emily, you… you actually speak of me like that? You think I’m wrong? Paul Davidson is wrong?” The old lady staggered, seemingly unable to bear the weight of the situation.
Milly Gray hurriedly steadied her and appeared concerned as she consoled her, “Let it go, aunt, Paul Davidson is young and doesn’t understand, it’s okay if he’s told off a bit. He doesn’t comprehend adult talk and won’t be upset.”
Milly Gray’s consolation backfired, merely highlighting how small and pitiable Charles Taylor was, as if because he could not understand adult talk, he should be entitled to be wronged.
The old lady immediately became resistant, struggling to stand up.
“Emily, Paul Davidson is not wrong, the one at fault is your son!”
“Paul Davidson is young and unaware of what is happening; he simply doesn’t know what’s going on. But your son, he’s an adult now, how could he curse his own little brother like that?!”
“If you still consider me your aunt, then you will have him apologize to Paul Davidson today! Or else, you might as well disown me as your aunt too! Pretend that all those years I brought you up, were in vain!”
The old lady played the sentimental card, and not just Emily Taylor, but Simon Taylor and Dominic Taylor also couldn’t deny that bond with a clear conscience.
Indeed, the aunt had made many sacrifices for the three Taylor siblings in the past.
“Auntie… Why must you…” Emily was at a loss for words.
She couldn’t tolerate the slander against her son and grandson and even Lily Gray, yet she couldn’t deny the kindness she had received.
Just as Emily Taylor found herself caught between a rock and a hard place, Aidan Lucas, standing beside her, suddenly spoke up in a tone cold as shards of shattered ice.
His words carried an icy edge that immediately froze the already heated atmosphere.
He said, “Old lady, you’re truly senile. Only you would treasure someone like Charles Taylor, a product of such chaos and disorder.”
