"You are clearly my daddy and mommy, why have you become someone elseâs?" Jillian Carter pushed Joseph Shaw aside and tightly embraced Mother Carter, "I donât want to go back to the Chip Family, I donât want anyone, I only want you. Mom, please donât recognize Jane Sampson, okay? Our house is sufficient with just Brother and me, I donât want anyone else."
"Jillian!" Granny Carter gently tapped the tabletop with her palm, "Do you know what you are saying? Jane Sampson is our Carter Familyâs child, are you telling us not to acknowledge her? You are always so selfish, forever thinking only of yourself! You want daddy and mommy, does that mean Jane Sampson doesnât want daddy and mommy? We are her family, her closest relatives, bonded by blood, what right do you have to stop our family reunion?"
The more Granny Carter spoke, the harder it was for her to suppress the fire in her heart.
Mother Carter didnât say a word either, because, as a mother, she couldnât ignore her biological daughter, knowing the truth of the situation.
"You all love her! Before you did, now you even more so! When she wasnât your biological child, you liked her more than you liked me. Later, when she returns, none of you will love me anymore! I know, youâd all rather I sensibly leave earlier!"
Jillian looked at the silent Mother Carter, and her last hope in her heart was shattered.
She hadnât even accepted this home yet, and suddenly it became a reality that it wasnât her home, now she was forced to accept the demand to yield to Jane Sampson from now on.
Jillian pushed away Mother Carter, raised her hand, wiped her tears, and turned around to run out.
Jillian had never regretted as much as she did now, today, she shouldnât have come back.
"Jillian~" Joseph Shaw couldnât care about anything else, he stood up and chased after her.
"Jillian!" Mother Carter saw this and also got up, but Granny Carter immediately scolded.
"Sit down." Granny Carter said, "If you catch up with her, how will you comfort her? Her demand is for Jane Sampson not to come back, can you do it? If you can, go chase her, if not, just sit here."
Mother Carter just stood there, unable to chase or simply stand.
"No matter how sheâs taught, she never learns well, sheâs not one of us Carter Family members, so she doesnât have the upbringing we Carter Family members should have." Granny Carter said this with a cold laugh.
"If it werenât for her, how would my great-grandson be like this today?" When Granny Carter mentioned James Carterâs current state, her heart ached, "If I had known we were raising someone elseâs child, and it would harm James Carter for a lifetime, back then when she was little, I shouldâve sent her back to the Chip Family."
To avoid developing feelings, harbor resentment in the heart, yet be unable to harden the heart to do something to punish her.
"Itâs getting late, we should set off for the airport." Old Sir Carter didnât dwell on Jillianâs issue any longer. He held onto his wifeâs arm and stood up, and the few of them hurried out the door.
Jillianâs personality had always been like that, so after they set out for the airport, they didnât keep Jillianâs situation in mind.
Over there in Capital Province.
Knowing the Carter Family was going to Capital Province, Bright Sampton joined James Black as he left the guard team, got into his car, and followed him to the Black Family.
Even Brooke Black and her husband specially rushed back from the company, except for those who couldnât find time to return, all whom could return to the Black Family did.
Old Master Black hadnât stopped smiling since receiving the call, and when Brooke Black and her husband entered the door, Old Master Black was holding the Great Generalâs son, enjoying himself in the living room.
