"Henry, how can you say that to your mother? Why am I not qualified?
I’ve said it many times, Isla Linton’s disappearance has nothing to do with me. Why do you insist on believing that I caused Isla to leave?
I did give her a check, but if she really loved you, would she leave you?
As a mother, don’t I even have the right to test my son’s lover?
Henry, can you stop talking to your mother ? It really hurts."
Henry Sullivan looked at his mother, a distant smile on his face, "For my own good?
For my own good, you took it upon yourself to drive Isla away?
For my own good, you could just watch me suffer for so many years?
For my own good, you still spoke coldly to my wife after I finally decided to walk out of the shadows and get married?
Mom, I know what kind of daughter-in-law you want.
It’s a pity that such a woman doesn’t interest me.
I want to marry a wife who can accompany me for a lifetime.
Not a tool to help the Twilight Group make money.
Not a business partner who can align the Twilight Group for mutual benefits.
Don’t you understand? I want my own life.
I’m not a child anymore. Can you try to step off the stage of my life?
I’d be very grateful if you could just mind your own life now.
Please stop interfering with my life, okay?"
Hearing him growl at her , Mrs. Sullivan felt her face couldn’t hold the expression.
"Henry Sullivan, are you saying I’ve influenced your life and ruined your happiness?
I’m your mother, do you see me as a villain?
How can you say that about me, hurting me so?
Henry, in your eyes, is your mom a demon?"
Henry sneered, "In my eyes, this house is a prison.
You and Dad are the wardens, trapping me in this house, turning me into a wreck.
I don’t want anything, just a happy life after breaking free from you.
If you truly consider me your son, please think over my words carefully once more.
I’m married now, and Ivy is your daughter-in-law.
This daughter-in-law was chosen by Dad himself. I know you won’t drive her away with a check. Follow current novels on novel⸺fire.net
But she’s still young, it’s impossible for her to meet all your expectations.
I have no other request, just hope you treat her well and don’t judge her by your standards.
Don’t scare this girl who is willing to marry me away in the end."
Mrs. Sullivan’s face turned cold, "If such a thing scares her away, it only proves she’s too timid.
What’s the use of a daughter-in-law who can’t handle even small matters..."
"Enough, I’ve told you not to say that again.
Did you know everything before you married Dad?
Were you born knowing how to handle everything perfectly?
Ivy is already trying hard; she’s a girl in her twenties, what more do you want from her?
Why do you always have to retort regardless of what others say?
Can’t you just listen to others’ feelings?
Forget it, what’s the use of wasting so many words with you.
No matter how much is said, you won’t respect others.
I will remind Ivy to avoid seeing you as much as possible going forward."
With a cold face, Henry Sullivan opened the door and walked out. Mrs. Sullivan was livid, wondering if Ivy Miller had said something bad about her to make Henry resent her so much.
