Chapter 510

….

When Austin saw Gary’s mother enter, he followed behind her, ready to see what she was going to do with Nara. Now, his entire focus was on Nara, and he wanted to know everyone who came into contact with her.

That Gary just now… Austin often bullied Gary in the past, and they were pretty familiar. Gary’s mother was considered a close cousin of Lady Gill, so the two families had a relatively good relationship. However, the Spencer family’s background wasn’t comparable to the Gill family’s, so Gary’s mother always seemed too eager to please Lady Gill, which Austin disliked. He constantly bullied Gary in secret.

He followed for a few steps but stopped as he approached Nara’s home. He remembered how Nara had just told him to go away and the angry look on her face when she saw him, and suddenly, he didn’t dare step forward or enter Nara’s home. He feared his sister would dislike him even more and that she would get angry again because of him.

Matias’s words echoed in his mind: “If you don’t want Nara to get some proper rest, then by all means, come over!”

In the end, Austin stopped and didn’t enter. He knew nothing of what was happening inside and was worried until he saw Gary arrive in a hurry. Austin eventually leaned against the wall and hung his head.

What should he do to make his sister treat him better?

“Stop it!”

When Gary’s voice rang out, Gary’s mother was taken aback and turned her head. Nara also looked toward the door in shock, and tears welled in her eyes at the sight of Gary. Her eyes were red-rimmed.

Gary wore gold-rimmed glasses and exuded a literary air. He had a slender frame and a gentle smile on his face. But now, he stared at his mother, so shocked that he was speechless. He rushed forward, stepping in front of Nara, pushing his mother away, and shouted, “Mom, what are you doing?!”

Then he turned back and helped Nara up from the ground. He frantically surveyed Nara’s body. “Nara, are you alright? What did Mom do to you?”

He wanted to examine Nara, but he couldn’t see anything because she was clothed…

After Nara stood up, she waved her hand, shook her head, and said in sign language, “I’m okay.” Only then did Gary turn to his mother. “Mom, how could you do this to Nara?! Didn’t you promise me you would treat Nara well?”

His mother tried to deny it. “I didn’t do anything. Why are you so agitated?”

Gary immediately roared, “I heard everything you did and said just now!”

Seeing the situation, his mother knew she couldn’t hide it and snorted coldly. Gary looked at her, feeling disappointed. “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t mind Nara’s background?!”

“I don’t mind, but she is mute! How can I not mind? She’s disabled, but you’re normal. Can’t you find a normal woman? In a normal family, who would allow their son to marry a mute?”

His mother’s angry voice made Gary pause for a moment. He looked at his mother, puzzled. “So, you weren’t sick last month. You just wanted to appease me and keep me from seeing Nara?”

His mother sighed. “Gary, just listen to me, alright? Although the Spencer family is well-off, we are nothing in Clance! If you go on to marry a mute woman with no social standing, I’ll be laughed at by my peers! Do you know those people are already mocking me behind my back for always trying to ingratiate myself with Lady Gill?”

Gary roared, “Then don’t ingratiate yourself! Why do you have to please others at all costs?”

His mother sighed again. “I’m only doing it for the Spencer family! How do you think our electronic company has survived? Without the Gill family giving us projects from time to time, we would have been destitute long ago!”

Gary became silent.

His mother continued to weep. “I’m doing this all for the sake of our family. How can you do this? I’m your mother. Are you going to defy me for a woman?”

Gary stiffened. “If you don’t like Nara, you could have just told me. Why pretend everything is fine on one hand and control me on the other?”

His mother scoffed. “Don’t I know you? Since you were little, haven’t you always schemed to get it whenever I disapproved of something you wanted? Could I ever stop you? Gary, wake up! This mute girl isn’t suitable for you!”

She stepped forward, speaking earnestly. “You’re going to take over the family business. Your wife needs to help you socialize as a lady, but she’s mute. How can she help you?”

Gary retorted, “That’s not the marriage I want! I don’t need that much wealth, either. The money we have is enough!”

“What do you mean, ‘enough’? The whole world is experiencing an economic crisis. In ten years or so, that money will be devalued. Do you think you can live worry-free for a lifetime? Let me tell you, I’ve already chosen a candidate for you! Forget about this mute girl!”

Gary was stunned. “You’ve chosen one for me? Who is it?”

His mother said, “Of course, it’s Miss Gill! Lady Gill’s daughter!”

Gary scoffed. “You look down on Nara but think Lady Gill would look up to our family? Would they let their daughter marry below her status into our family?”

His mother then said, “What do you know? I heard that the Gill family’s daughter had been found, but she grew up in the slums. A good family wouldn’t want her, but our family doesn’t mind. They would let her marry below her status to you. Just be good to her daughter; I’ll keep Lady Gill happy. Do you think Lady Gill would let her daughter suffer?”

She said earnestly, “Gary, I’m doing this all for your good. You and that mute girl will have no future, but with Lady Gill’s daughter, you’ll have a bright future! I heard the Gill family feels very indebted to this daughter and plans to give her one-third of the family shares. That Austin hasn’t always bullied you since you were a kid. Let me tell you, he feels the guiltiest about this sister. If you marry her, he will treat you very well in the future!”

She stepped forward and grabbed Gary’s hand. “Gary, be a good son. Come home with me, alright? Let’s stay away from this mute girl. Okay?”

But the next moment, Gary shook off her hand. “You think you’re doing our family a big favor, but have you asked me what I think?”

He stood before Nara and said to his mother, “Mom, I’m telling you, I choose Nara!”
