"I, Bright Sampton, am not so despicable! Why should I keep someone in my heart who doesnât see me as a younger brother? If she doesnât treat me as a brother, I can refuse to treat her as a sister!" Bright Sampton looked coldly at Julie and said, "Iâm not joking with you. Either you get out yourself, or I throw you out, your choice!"
"Bright Sampton, I think youâre an idiot for being played around by Jane so easily! Do you really think Jane would treat you well? If she truly cared about you, she wouldnât just watch the familyâs company collapse, and she wouldnât just watch you become a penniless beggar! Iâm looking forward to the day you cry!"
With that, Julie picked up her purse and put on her coat, "Do you think I want to stay here? I canât wait to leave!"
After speaking, Julie directly pushed past Bright Sampton at the doorway and left with large strides.
Amidst the commotion, Father Sampton acted as if he couldnât hear anything. He didnât call out to stop Julie as she walked past him, nor did he say anything against Bright Sampton.
He sat there with an indifferent expression, as if he were an outsider, with all matters having nothing to do with him.
Not until Mother Sampson, who was calling out Julieâs name and was about to go after her, did Father Sampson finally speak to stop his wife.
"If she wants to go, let her go." Father Sampson pulled his wife back, saying, "Since I married you, Dad and Mom have always treated you well. So, with Mom gone, you ought to stay here to see her off on her final journey."
Mother Sampson stood there, her heart full of worry and anxiety.
Yes, since she married into the Sampton family, she had never suffered any grievance from her parents-in-law. People say itâs hard to fit in with wealthy families, but for her, she enjoyed a life of luxury every day.
Her in-laws had never spoken a harsh word to her. Even when her first child was a girl, her in-laws were very loving. She enjoyed herself outdoors every day, and even the children were raised with the help of her in-laws.
Therefore, Mother Sampson couldnât find a single bad word to say about her in-laws.
Mother Sampson was indeed willing to keep vigil and see her mother-in-law off on her final journey.
But now the problem was her pregnant daughter had left alone with emotions, and she feared something might happen to her daughter.
"Bright, you shouldnât talk to Julie like that." Mother Sampson could only reprimand Bright Sampson in the end.
"She deserves a lesson." Bright Sampson showed no regret at all, even saying, "I really hope she never comes back in her lifetime. If she doesnât come back, Grandpa wonât be angered to death by her, and my sister wouldnât have to suffer so much, and our family wouldnât be so fragmented, without the semblance of a real home."
These words of Bright Sampson gave Father Sampson an unbidden thought: how good it would be if that were the case.
If Julie hadnât come back, he would never have known that Jane wasnât his biological daughter.
Even if he loved his son Bright more, he would still dote on his eldest daughter as he did when she was young.
Jane did not resent him and always considered him and his wife as her biological parents. After getting married, she would often return home, and naturally, her heart would lean more toward the Sampton Family.
Father wasnât angered to death by Julie. If the company encountered a problem, Father could still help manage things, and given Fatherâs relationship with Old Master Black, he wouldnât be kept out of the Black Familyâs doorway.
Even if he couldnât get in, Father would still be able to see Old Master Black.
If Julie hadnât returned, perhaps the company wouldnât even have such problems.
