Chapter 259: Enough Is Enough
Mrs. Thatcher was petrified by everything unfolding before her, clutching Gemma and shielding her in her arms. Fiona, upon seeing Mr. Thatcher about to smash a stool on Meredith, felt a surge of glee and wished he would aim for Meredith’s stomach.
However, at the last moment, Meredith dodged. She was quick; Mr. Thatcher’s stool hit nothing but air. Meredith was shaken, her heart pounding heavily. She dared not confront him directly now, unlike her past fearless self.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Just as Mr. Thatcher attempted to grab the stool again, a group of people burst in, led by Terrence Sterling. Terrence strode towards Meredith, protecting her, and asked, “Meredith, are you alright?”
Meredith shook her head, “I’m fine.”
The bodyguards quickly subdued Mr. Thatcher, pinning him to the ground. Mr. Thatcher, frightened by the sudden show of force, yelled desperately, “They’re going to kill me, they’re going to kill me, help, help!”
“Quiet,” the bodyguard threatened Mr. Thatcher.
Linda arrived too, addressing, “Mrs. Sterling.”
After receiving a call, Linda had brought their bodyguards, meeting Terrence Sterling returning from Meriton, and they had come together.
Fiona, seeing the timely arrival of Terrence Sterling, regretted deeply; she was so close to succeeding. Seeing Terrence’s cold and handsome face, she couldn’t help but be infatuated. Terrence was dressed in a black shirt, dark trousers, and shiny, handmade, limited-edition leather shoes, exuding a powerful aura like the lord of hell, utterly abstinent, making her heart race.
Unaware of the news, Terrence asked upon seeing the chaos and Mr. Thatcher’s aggression towards Meredith, “What happened here?”
“It’s a long story, we’ll talk back home,” Meredith replied, then turned to Mr. Thatcher, “Considering you are Justin’s father, I’m giving you one day to clarify the truth with the reporters and clear Justin’s name, or I will expose all the dirty shit you did to your children. You sure know what happened to them.”
Mr. Thatcher, understanding her reference to his selling his children, denied it immediately, “I don’t understand what you’re saying! Those bastards called you here to bully us helpless old people, they are animals.”
Seeing no immediate remorse from Mr. Thatcher, Meredith didn’t waste more words. She turned to Mrs. Thatcher, “You are a mother, I believe no mother on earth could bear to hurt her own son. Watching Mr. Thatcher sell off your children one by one, how could you even bear it? Now, with Justin being such an exceptional son, are you sure you want to continue supporting Mr. Thatcher’s evil deeds for his selfish gains?”
Mrs. Thatcher’s heart was torn by these words, memories flooding back, her face showing deep sorrow. Terrence Sterling and Fiona were also shocked by these revelations. Seeing Mrs. Thatcher’s reaction, Meredith continued, “If you’re interested in how Justin has endured these years, what he has gone through, you can always come to us at Merrydale Estate. Justin loves you more than you know. When you first arrived in the capital, to take care of you, he ran out of money, sold his blood, took several part-time jobs, and ended up in the hospital from exhaustion. You probably didn’t know that.”
Tears welled up in Mrs. Thatcher’s eyes as Meredith concluded, hoping Mrs. Thatcher would come to her senses and help Justin through this ordeal.
