Chapter 162
*You should at least have some dignity as a human; even I feel embarrassed for you for being this shameless. To put it bluntly, besides contributing two sperm, what else did you do for them? Did you fulfill your responsibility as a father? Do you have any right to ask Miss Tessa and her brother for anything? Don’t be mad because I’m merely stating the truth.”
In one shot, Edward told him off with a lengthy speech, and it turned Silas’ face sour. However, that delighted Edward even more!
Somebody had to say it!
That was just how Silas was-shameless, bad at managing his company, and fạiled at educating his child. He even lost the most basic ethics of being a person.
What was the point of such a person to continue living in this world?
Ashamed, Silas was livid, but he couldn’t say a thing in rebuttal.
Meanwhile, Amber was an unreasonable person who was fiercely, albeit biasedly, protective of her son. As she was old, she always liked to use her age to her advantage, and when she heard Edward’s criticisms, a rush of fury washed over her.
A bunch of useless bums! They already came to our place to walk all over us, but Silas is still acting like an ostrich, forcing an old woman like me to step up!
Immediately, she opened her mouth and lashed out, “Who do you think you are that you can lecture my son? Indeed, birds of a feather flock together. You have no manners at all and merely bark around because of your master’s influence. How dare you make a scene at my place, insulting and beating my family as you wish! Do you really take me for a pushover?”
Even though Amber had met Edward before and knew his status, she was so furious that she couldn’t care less.
In an instant, the shrewdness in her bones and her vitriol personality surfaced.
My bodyguards can’t come to the rescue? Fine. I can take care of these two arrogant guys by myself, she
thought.
Rolling up her sleeves, she prepared herself to teach them a lesson.
In spite of that, Edward was composed and merely raised his brows at Amber, but her gesture made Silas break out in cold sweat instead.
Hurriedly, he tugged Amber’s sleeve. “Mom, just keep your words to yourself. You have no business here. Go back to your room.”
Jerking her sleeve away indignantly, she argued, “Why should I hide? Did I say something wrong? Say, can you change that weak character of yours? You didn’t pick up any of my good points. They’re walking all over us at our house, yet you’re still being so compliant and need me to stand up for you.”
Ashamed at being lectured by his old mother, Silas exclaimed, “Don’t make a scene, Mom!”
Although Edward didn’t have a background like Nicholas, he still had Nicholas behind his back and couldn’t be insulted!
But Amber wouldn’t listen to him and chided in anger, “How am I making a scene? Even if you can tolerate getting scolded by a nobody, I can’t do the same!”
Her words made Edward chuckle in frustration. “It’s true that I don’t have the right to scold you all, but
at least I’m still something compared to all of you.”
Amber choked and wanted to argue back, but Edward already decided to ignore her because there was nothing to be said to an unreasonable old woman.
Turning to Silas, he said, “Also, I have something to tell you: President Sawyer already said that Miss Tessa is under his wing, and this will be a lesson to you today. After this, just give it a try if you have the guts to lay a finger on her.”
Instantly, Silas understood what he meant.
After a short pause, Edward’s expression turned strict, and he added, “If you do anything to her, there’s no need for Reinhart Group to exist anymore!” Leaving Silas in a daze, he lowered his head at Timothy. “Let’s go. I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Lifelessly, Timothy nodded. “Thanks,” he uttered and let Edward help him out of the place.
After they left without a hiccup and got into the car, Edward cast him a look of disapproval the second they were seated. “You were too impulsive. There are thousands of ways to settle an issue like this. Why did you have to make your way there and do this?”
Bearing with the pain, Timothy clenched his jaw. “Thank you so much for today, but even if I knew that things would turn out this way, I’d still do what I did! So what if he broke my head? Nobody should hurt my sister, especially the Reinharts.”
