Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 410

Adrian walked in just then.

The atmosphere instantly froze.

The expressions on the Blackwells' faces were varied.

Isabel, however, remained calm, sipping her tea in small mouthfuls.

Seeing that everyone was present, the elder Mrs. Blackwell began to speak slowly. "When my husband passed away, he made me promise to take care of this family. I believe I've done that, and I haven't wronged any of you."

"Of course, I can't completely absolve myself of the mistakes you've made either."

She looked at Charles Blackwell first. "Your father and I only had you. It was right after you were born that the new policies came into effect. On top of that, my health was poor, and your father and I were busy handling other matters, so we never had time for another child."

"As for you, you have no talent for business, you lack the social grace for politics, and you don't have the constitution for the military. With you being our only child, I'll admit I was selfish. I didn't want you to join the army, so I let you be a figurehead in the Blackwell Group. You've lived half your life this way. You're a man; you should understand some sense of responsibility by now."

"Victoria gave you three children, including a rare set of fraternal twins for her first pregnancy. Her health wasn't good, which is why she didn't plan for more. Despite that, when Adrian came along, she endured her discomfort and gave birth to him while still working. I don't expect you to love her to the ends of the earth, but you shouldn't have a woman on the side."

"Don't be embarrassed today, even with the younger generation present. I'm taking back all of your assets and giving them to Victoria. As for your woman on the side, you can figure out how to support her yourself. If you can't, then you'd better put a stop to your philandering ways."

Charles Blackwell protested, "She's pregnant! If I don't have any money, what will happen to the child?"

The elder Mrs. Blackwell snatched the teacup in front of her and threw it at him. "You have the nerve to say that!"

"Look at the people here! They're all younger than you. You're a grandfather, and you pull something like this? What right do you have to shout at me?"

"Are you short on children?"
