Chapter 210 No Qualms Of Conscience
He looked at Yvonne, but found her face pale, looking horrible. He couldn't help but ask, "What do you
mean? She almost became a mother?"
"You didn't know that? Aron was surprised that Simon never knew. "She had a miscarriage. Actually
she has just been discharged from the hospital a few days ago. Yvonne is your daughter too. Didn't
Wendy say anything about it?"
Simon was baffled. It took him a long while to process what Aron had just said. How could it be
possible?
Turning to Yvonne, Simon asked, "Is this true?" Yvonne lowered her head, unable to look her father in
the eye. Simon took her silence as a yes.
Simon's face went red with rage. Though he always cared about his only daughter, he was a man with Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
a strong traditional disposition. Premarital pregnancy was something he could not tolerate.
"Simon, don't get angry. Please listen to me and I will explain everything to you." Wendy desperately
tried to appease her husband but he was too mad to listen. "Shut the hell up! I am asking if Aron is
telling the truth? Answer me! Now!"
"Yes." Wendy weakly replied.
"You..." Simon was too angry to say anything else. He tried to storm out but Aron quickly stopped him.
After all, Simon was his father. Simon cared about Aron and was always considerate of him before he
married Wendy. Aron felt sorry for his father who had been deceived by Wendy.
Then Aron calmly said to Simon, "I am going to leave now. You have to handle this on your own. But I
still have to remind you, if you want Gu's Group back, then you'd better prepare enough money.".
"Aron, you are pushing us over the edge." Wendy looked at Aron with irritation. "Aron, we are all family.
Yes, your mother invested much money to Gu's Group, but she did it out of her own free will. And yes
we know that it was her dowry. But through many years, your father and I also devoted ourselves to
Gu's Group. Now you ask for tens of millions. Do you want the company to go bankrupt?"
"You are also the part of this family. Aron, think twice about what you are asking from us."
Aron burst into a sneer. "Wendy, how ridiculous you sound. So you knew that it was my mother's dowry.
Then why should it be used to support my father's mistress and her useless daughter? I am the only
son of my mother. As the rightful heir, it is justifiable that I take the money back. After all I am not
asking for the interest. Just the full amount." said Aron with full conviction.
"What do you mean, a mistress? Me? A mistress?" Wendy was furious. "I am the legal wife of your
father. How dare you say that I am his mistress? It is because your mom decided to invest in Gu's
Group, so the money now belongs to this family. Who are you to take it back?"
"Because he is also part of this family. That reason is enough." Simon, who had been silent, spoke in a
cold tone. "Wendy, why don't you discipline Yvonne? There is no need for you to worry about other
things. Do you understand me?"
It was the first time for Simon to talk to Wendy with such a harsh tone and it startled her somehow. "I
understand you. But have I not been here for this family too?." said Wendy. "The Gu's Group has been
in bad management for a long time, and it could have gone under if not for Charles. We all know that
the company has been suffering a huge deficit." Wendy said with a loud voice.
"Enough! Are you finished?" I have said long ago that Gu's Group will be inherited by Aron. No one is
more suitable for the job than him. I have made up my mind. Even if it goes bankrupt." said Simon, his
eyes not moving away from Wendy.
"What about me? What about us? Don't forget that Yvonne is also your daughter. Half the company
belongs to her." said Wendy indignantly.
"Yvonne?" Simon smiled sarcastically "She should first tell me who got her pregnant. When I know the
whole truth, maybe I will consider it."
Wendy was furious after she heard this, her eyes filled with resentment. "Look at this. Are you happy
now, Aron? You brought chaos to this family as soon as you came back. Are you pleased to see us
fighting like this?" Wendy couldn't contain her rage.
"Blame me all you want, Wendy. There is no need for me to defend myself. I have returned to take
back what rightfully belongs to me, " said Aron indifferently. He then took a glance at Simon and said
coldly, "I will leave now. My presence here is no longer required, " added Aron.
"I will see you out, " said Simon. He walked out alongside Aron, leaving Wendy and Yvonne behind.
As they walked out, Simon turned to Aron. "You haven't been back for so many years. Could you..."
Could you take a walk with me?" Simon said with a hopeful voice.
"As you wish, " replied Aron. "I haven't been back to the hill in a long time, " He continued.
The Gu family house was a place surrounded with beautiful scenery with a small hill behind it. It was
Aron's favorite place when he was a small kid. He agreed to walk with his father since he had also
missed his childhood sanctuary. He also wanted to know what Simon was going to talk to him about.
"Today..." Saying this, Simon smiled awkwardly. "I am sorry for what happened just now." Slowly, Simon
walked with Aron, side by side. He paused for a while and then went on, "I planned to have a family
reunion and eat together. But I didn't expect such a farce. Wendy... She behaved abnormally today. But
that was not she usually does."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Aron burst into sneer and then said to Simon. "I am sure we are all clear
about what kind of person she is, so there is no need for you to speak for her. I won't change my mind
to her. And no matter what she did, it made no difference for me."
"Aron, we have said this again and again. You are also a part of this family. To be honest, the request
you made is not very reasonable. It is no wonder that Wendy got so angry." Hesitant, Simon finally said
directly. "You are my only son and I shall definitely hand Gu's Group to you. But why are you so
anxious to empty the company account? Wouldn't it be absurd if you inherited a depleted company?
Think of it, Aron."
"Let me be honest. I have never cared, nor will I ever care in the future whether you hand Gu's Group
to me or not." Aron was smiling but his voice didn't hide his indifference. "I would not really be asking
for that much money from the Gu's Company if Wendy had treated me better. After my mother died,
you married her and brought her to our house. Don't you remember what she did to me?"
Aron stopped for a few seconds and then went on, his voice rising in agitation. "She accused me of
stealing her money, but you turned a deaf ear to my explanation. This forced me to leave the Gu family.
To make matters worse, you used my mother's dowry to feed and support every whim and desire of
your new wife and daughter in all these years. And now you act as if nothing happened. You are just
impossible!"
