Chapter 474 “Mom, don’t worry, there's no poison.” At this moment, Attlee was sitting by the bed, looking at Grace's face helplessly. “We know you're mad, and yeah, we messed up. We shouldn't have put Bella's info on that missing persons site, leading to your separation.” Grace, hearing these words, was a bit taken aback. Had something unusual happened today? Her son was actually reflecting on his actions. That was a rarity.

| “Last twe visited, we really took to heart what you said.” Attlee looked genuinely remorseful; his head hung low in regret.

Grace had previously mentioned that ever since they put Bella's info on the missing persons site, the Murphy family had hit hard times, driving away their fortune without even realizing.

“Bella's been doing so well in school all these years, and you never even told me.” Hearing this, Grace found it a bit funny and immediately retorted, “When did | not tell you? Every t| call you, the minute | start talking about Bella, you lose interest. You're always ‘busy’, ‘in a meeting’, ‘doing something else’. Basically, you never want to make tto hearout.” That was a fact, and Attlee had no retort.

“The rare times you guys do call me, it's always to borrow money or for sboss’s contact. After giving you the money and the contact info and just starting to fill you in on Bella's recent situation, you guys are already rushing to hang up!” “Well, you could've texted me!” “Don’t you guys know that from middle school onwards, the school system would automatically send Bella's homework and monthly exam results to you? Bella got full marks on every test just to gain a bit of your favor!” This was news to Attlee; he hadn't realized that Bella had been doing so well in school all these years or that she had been longing for their attention this whole time.

They really screwed up on this front.

But he had absolutely no clue that the school system sent homework and grades...

Olga, standing off to the side, was looking even more upset. She suddenly remembered that she used to receive texts from the school about Bella's homework, vocabulary/words to memorize, and tests to take! She was so annoyed by the constant texts that she called the school and gave them a piece of her mind, and the texts stopped.

But Bella didn’t know about this; she thought her parents could see her grades, so she studied hard every day.

“So you also didn't tell us that Bella is the founder of QY Corp!” Attlee’s words held a hint of blame.

“You guys don’t even care about your own child, and now you're blaming me? Bella is still underage; she didn’t want to make you feel inferior to a minor, so she’s always been mindful of your feelings. These past few years, she’s been helping you guys out behind the scenes. Do you really think the Murphy family could be as prosperous as it is today with your level of intelligence?” Olga was immediately defensive: “Mom, even though Arabella is the founder of QY, the Murphy family’s success today is clearly due toand Attlee’s hard work over the years.” “Hard work?” Grace scoffed, “Take the recent events as an example; you guys wanted to invest in a few projects. Bella practically spoon—fed you the right paths to take; she practically handed you the money on a silver platter! Yet you guys lost all your capital. Bella had to cover for you with a hundred million dollars!” Olga and Attlee were both shocked and unable to believe it.

“There’s a lot more where that cfrom. That kid truly cares about you guys, but how have you treated her over the years?”
