Chapter 1248

Beatrice gently took Remington by the hand, and the two elderly figures shuffled back to

their room, their movements slow and unsteady.

Alaric watched his grandparents leave, his heart heavy with worry. He had been on the

verge of calling out to them. They were his and Hertha’s last hope.

If they gave up, then all hope would indeed be lost.

“Grand…” Alaric began, but before he could finish, Angelina’s hand clamped over his

mouth, muffling his words.

Remington and Beatrice, advanced in their years and hard of hearing, didn’t catch Alaric’s

muffled call..

Frustrated, Alaric shoved Angelina’s hand away and burst out, “Mom, why do you always

have to be against me?”

Angelina, taken aback by his accusation, felt a stab of pain in her heart. “You ungrateful

boy,” she lamented. “You’re my only son. Everything I do is for your good, and you don’t

even see it!”

“Yeah, I’m your only son, so why do you keep picking on me?” Alaric frowned, his voice

rising as he recalled the morning’s events, which made him feel like he was suffocating.

He had never felt this distressed over a woman before..

Just this once, he wanted to be serious, and yet Angelina seemed to thwart him at every

turn.

“What? Picking on you?” Angelina, incredulous pointed to herself, her heart shattering.

She had poured her soul into planning for her son’s future, and it had all been

misconstrued as antagonism.

“Alaric, let me tell you something,” she said, her voice heavy with emotion. “Everyone else

can criticize me, say I’m meddling. Your grandparents can even accuse me of trying to

cozy up to the Reeds to secure my influence, and I’ll take it with no explanations. But not

you!”

Tears welled up in Angelina’s eyes as she looked at her son, her voice firm yet filled with

Sorrow.

Alaric, seeing his mother in such distress, looked away, quietly seething.

Angelina swallowed hard, then continued, “You have no idea how many people in the

company are backing your cousin Jeremiah Falconer. He’s about to marry the Suttner

heiress. He has the support of the company veterans with a major family backing him. The

Falconer Group is practically in his hands already. And you? Look at yourself! You’ve

wasted your days in frivolity without a care in the world! What have you ever

accomplished? If you lose the Reed family’s support, you’ll be ousted from the Falconer

family and left penniless once Jeremiah takes over the Falconer Group!”

By the end, Angelina’s voice was low but laced with frustration and disappointment.

“Isn’t there still Dad and Grandma and Grandpa?” Alaric retorted, looking up defiantly.

“Your father is overseas all the time. He should be running the Falconer Group, but he’s

stuck managing our international interests. He’s too far away to handle the domestic fires,

and the company here is no longer under his control. And your grandparents? They’re old

now. Do you really think they can protect you forever?”

Angelina’s anger was palpable, yet she kept her voice down to avoid being overheard by

Remington and Beatrice. Her son’s naivety, his refusal to see the situation for what it was,

was maddening to her.

“If that’s the case, what’s so bad about Jeremiah taking over the Falconer Group?” Alaric

tried to console Angelina, taking a contrary stance. “I’ve never been cut out for corporate

management anyway. Maybe living as an ordinary person wouldn’t be so bad-going to

work, making enough to support myself. A simple, unremarkable life and what’s wrong

with that?”

Alaric had graduated from one of the country’s top finance universities, and he had been a

top student. But ever since he joined the family business, he’d changed. He became

unconcerned with the company’s affairs, preferring nightlife and leisure.

Angelina had always been heartbroken over Alaric’s transformation, unable to fathom

what had caused her son to become so indifferent.
