Chapter 489 The Spectacular Drama
Mia glared, growling furiously, "Come on, drop the act already! I've heard from Uncle Jeremy that it was you who seduced Ethan into leaving me! It was all your fault, and I hate you so much for that!"
Ysabel's face actually brightened up a lot when she saw Mia look so hopping mad. Her husband Elijah's sibling relationship with Clarence had improved considerably since Henry's death, to the point where Clarence had even agreed to give Elijah some of the Clark Corporation's shares after reclaiming the company. However, Ysabel had been simmering with resentment in secret the whole time, wanting to use Reene's marriage to compete as an equal with Clarence's family. Hearing Mia mention her breakup with Ethan again at this very moment, she promptly said to Reene, "Did you hear that, Reene? Mia no longer has a rich fiancé now, but you can still date Young Master Andrew of the Kean Family! You have to seize this opportunity with both hands!"
Clarence bristled with indignation at such words before Reene could say anything. "What do you mean by that, Ysabel? It was Andrew Kean who had my son crippled! And now you're going to make him a son-in-law of the Wynn Family?!"
Ysabel raised her eyebrows. "Yeah, so what? What right do you have to keep lording it over us now that the Clark Corporation is no longer in your hands? If my daughter could marry into the Kean Family, we'd be the ones calling the shots in the Wynn Family, and my husband would become the head of the family, too!"
"Why you!" Clarence's eyes were ablaze with rage; the veins in his temples were throbbing.
Clap! Clap! Clap! Kingsley gave a few small claps at the sight of the scene. "The Wynn Family drama is
still as entertaining as always, huh? I thought you guys were on the same side when I heard that you guys had together pressed Reene to hand over the Clark Corporation. Well, I'm surprised that you guys are still fighting each other like gamecocks."
Clarence's face turned livid at once. He gave Elijah a dirty look, chiding, "What a f*cking moron who can't even keep your woman under control! You're letting this little son of a b*tch have a good laugh at our expense!"
Elijah's lips quivered for a moment. Then, he said to Ysabel under his breath, "Just shut up for once, will you? The most important thing right now is to take back the Clark Corporation, so stop dividing us against ourselves!"
"Taking the Clark Corporation back, huh? Humph!" Ysabel let out a cold snort. She said, "Rather than taking back the Clark Corporation and letting your brother and his family walk all over us and p*ss and sh*t on us again, it'd be better to simply give up the company and let Reene marry into the Kean Family, no? Only then could we stand a chance of making a comeback!"
Elijah threw a glance at Clarence before whispering, "What nonsense are you talking about?! Clarence has promised to give me some of the Clark Corporation's shares after reclaiming the company!"
"You actually believe his bullsh*t?!" Ysabel curled her lips in a dramatic fashion. She said, "Do you think he's still gonna care about you if he's actually back to being the Clark Corporation's chairman? It'd be nice enough for him not to trample on you instead!"
Clarence's chest almost exploded in anger at her words. "How dare you! What an ignorant woman!"
Just then, Mia came forward and said to him, "Don't get angry, Dad. Even if we can't reclaim the Clark
Corporation, we can still make a comeback!"
Ysabel sneered at her words, though. "Make a comeback, eh? How are you gonna make a comeback? You guys won't be able to boss us around anymore once Reene marries into the Kean Family!" she said before moving to Reene's side. Taking Reene by the hand, she continued, "Reene, I'm your mom, so listen to me. Just stay away from this Nicholson brat and marry Young Master Kean instead. That way, you'll do better and better in life, and your dad and I won't get bullied anymore!" NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Reene's heart skipped a beat as she felt the warmth of Ysabel's palm. She knew that Ysabel was using her and that her motherly love for her had an element of self-interest mixed in it. However, she couldn't help but feel a touch of warmth when the word 'mom' passed Ysabel's lips. This was perhaps what the desire for a family was like for a child who had never seen her birth parents since childhood… "Don't worry, Mom. I'll give you and Dad a comfortable life through my own efforts," she replied in a whisper. "But I'm not gonna part from Kingsley again no matter what!"
Mia let out a snort of laughter at her words. "Haha! Through your own efforts, huh? Reene, what's the point of you talking big like that?"
